Shouldn’t President Trump just send in some drones to kill everyone in the vicinity with a “targeted surgical strike” like the present holder of the office.
Unfortunately there is a considerable right wing audience..I just looked up the monster john m chivington.Whoa, what an MF he was. He should have been beheaded.
There is nothing at all new in either this ‘literature’ about the Red Rascal, or in the sayings of Chairman Trump. Way back in the days of the Roman Empire, the Tyrant Lucius Sulla had anyone on his ‘list’ slaughtered; the list kept growing. And then there were Stalin and Hitler in more recent days.
Violence and hatred of those who are even slightly different is not the exclusive province of only one end of a political spectrum…
While I agree that Drumpf is nothing new, I do not see him decorating the Oval Office with images of anyone but himself. Maybe a nude of his daughter, but that’s it.
Trump is no laughing matter, but I think Cruz is more dangerous. Trump makes for better “entertainment” in the media and sells more advertising which is the point. Cruz can lurk behind this relative inattention to his benefit and our detriment.
I would definitely prefer Clinton or sanders over anyone in the GOP side. We also have no way of knowing whether Drumpf would learn nuance once elected.
The long election lines created by unneeded GOP laws to suppress voters are the Jim Crow laws of today. The GOP can’t win other than by cheating anymore. They want to make it hard for us real Americans to vote in the larger cities.
Actually, the GOP not only wants to make it harder for us real Americans in larger cities to vote by voter suppression laws, they have succeeded in doing so. They have even said so themselves.
“He was but one of many. For every one like him, there were dozens who cheered his actions.”.Yep, 19th history is a mixed bag. One of the “co-architects” of the Sand Creek Massacre was John Evans, namesake of Mount Evans, a prominent “fourteener” just west of Denver. Evans was a KKK leader and anti-Indian crusader. He was also one of the founders of both Northwestern University and the University of Denver (the latter with Chivington!)..Many society leaders had views and actions that are abhorrent today. Evans’s portrait is still in galleries as a governor of Colorado Territory..Even so, the Sand Creek Massacre was considered such an an atrocity that he was forced to resign the governorship and was left out of Colorado’s campaign for statehood..We thought we were moving forward. Then along comes Trump. Sigh.
If Abraham Lincoln were here today, he would no doubt spend a great deal of time vomiting at the thought of Donald Trump (which, as thin as he already was, could not possibly be good for his health…….)
Given the mass of rough edges Trump has so far failed to shed since landing in the public eye, I have no expectation of him becoming more rational once you hand him the “Bully Pulpit.”
That’s just one of the problems with torture. Not only is it cruel and unusual punishment, but it’s punishment meted out upon suspects, not convicts. They have not yet been through the due process of law and found guilty. The American criminal justice system presumes innocence until proven guilty. The use of torture perverts that system.
“we KNOW that you think that mass murder is a GOOD THING”.Don’t know where you got that idea.I believe if one is going to murder people, one should do it personally and selectively, lest he kill someone who doesn’t deserve it.

President Trump will have a portrait of Col. John M. Chivington in the Oval Office.

Yes, Trump is the Salafi terrorists’ best friend; they must refer to him often in their recruiting.

To: YngvarNo doubt that nude would be painted by JJ, since we already had a storyline of Trump hiring her to paint his yacht.

The garbage that comes out of Red Rascal’s mind can’t compare to the reality of the puke that comes out of Trump’s mouth.

The real point of this is the last panel. Sadly, in real life, it goes like:
“Wow. There’s an audience for Trump?”
“Apparently…”
