Trump Age
Trump threatens to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age
Donald Trump is threatening to bomb Iran back to the Stone Age, which, if he does, would be a war crime.
Trump's chosen war is with the government of Iran, not the people, yet he continues to threaten to destroy its infrastructure. The more Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth brag about their success in the war, the more it seems that Iran fights back.
Trump tells us that the war is won and that Iran's ability to wage war is nearly depleted if not already destroyed, yet missiles still rain on Israel and our other allies in the Gulf. And if Iran doesn't have any weaponry left, then how did they shoot down two American jets? If the war is already won, then why are we still fighting?
Trump likes to say that he's the only one with the cards. He told Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy that he doesn't hold any cards, yet Ukraine is still fighting back against Russia and stubbornly refusing to yield to its illegal invasion. This week, Trump said Iran doesn't hold any cards, but if they recover the missing American pilot, that's going to be one pretty big card. The Strait of Hormuz is a pretty big card
Donald Trump isn't just a bad president; he's a bad war commander. He has allowed his Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, to fire the Army Chief of Staff and other generals while we are at war. Trump's supporters loved to compare him to Winston Churchill, but that's the wrong World War II leader to compare him to. He's closer to Adolf Hitler, who was also a horrible military commander.
If we did not have the world's largest military, we would be in serious trouble going to war with this much ineptness in our leadership. One of the cards that Iran holds is that our military commander is Donald J Trump.
Donald Trump seems to be salivating at the prospect of committing war crimes, which he has already done by attacking Iran's infrastructure. Don't be surprised if he doesn't join Benjamin Netanyahu in being labeled as a war criminal. Don't be surprised in the future if Donald Trump's travel is limited to the United States, Israel, and Russia.
You can't have it both ways: Someone has to point this out, and if no one else wants to accept the responsibility, then I guess it has to be me. A few days ago, Michael Ramirez was critical of Artemis II, complaining that we are spending too much money to do something that we already did 57 years ago. Today, he is less cynical and talking about how inspiring the space project is. Seriously dude. You need to make up your mind. You are either for it or against it.
I'm also surprised he used the word “Dreamers” in his second cartoon cause usually when he mentions Dreamers, he’s in favor of deporting them.
Gary Varvel is a liar and a bigot. Sometimes the right-wing guys will cartoon about stuff that's only been covered by Fox News. When I first saw this cartoon, I thought that there was a new scandal where the Chicago Bulls weren't letting people into the United Center because of religious-themed clothing. That would be an outrage, right? But that's not what it is about.
The Chicago Bulls cut a homophobic player who was not producing on the court and who had let loose an anti-LGBTQ rant against Pride Day. To Gary, being a Christian means you are a bigot. To Gary, religious freedom is being allowed to express your hatred against the LGBTQ community in public and on your employer’s platform. To Gary, not being allowed to express your homophobia is religious persecution against your Christianity. To Gary, all LGBTQ people are freaks.
Gary won an RFK human rights award years ago, and since then, he's done nothing except draw cartoons expressing his bigotry. I think the Robert & Ethel Kennedy Human Rights Center should revoke his award. They have plenty of examples of Gary's cartoons to cite as their reason, and they can start with this one.
A Peezy mention: This amused me, so I recorded it for you. Our favorite rat gets a mention on a recent episode of Daredevil: A New Beginning.
It's cute and all, but we all know that Peezy would never do crack.
My fan/stalker: It's nice to know that he cares. I think the artwork is AI, but I cannot be sure.

All support is appreciated.
Signed prints and books: I cannot take orders for signed prints or for my books at this time. So please do not send me money or place orders for them until further notice. Because of the stroke, it is an ordeal for me to get to the post office, so we’re gonna hold up until I’m fully capable of doing so. Thank you for your understanding.
Merch: Did you know there’s a Claytoonz store? My cartoons are printed on mugs, clothing, caps, and even a Peezy T-shirt. If you ever want a specific cartoon on some merch, let me know, and I’ll add it.
Do you know who your stalker is? His/her @ handle reads like a Native American language. All this computer generated color, etc., makes it harder to tell who the cowards are. Time was we could tell a person from crosshatching, coloring, etc.
One point about orange snake's "stone age" comment is that I'm pretty sure most Iranians would survive in the stone age. In a stone age world, POS wouldn't last a minute. Neither would those "alpha males" named Tucker, Petey, Miller, et al. As far as I can see, none of them serve any useful purpose in the world they want to inflict on the rest of the world.
