Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for May 13, 2016

This would be funny, if it weren’t so close to the truth.

Is this meant to be humour or a pragmatic prediction?

We Allies in the Rest Of The World wait anxiously.

We non-allies in the rest of the world wait anxiously for anyone – anyone but the blood soaked mass murdering war criminal Killary Kliingon to win the Amerikastani throne. And we also wait for the heads of Killary worshippers to explode when that happens.

What about the Trump Monster’s anxiety about his small hands?

The Dump is what ignorant people think a smart person talks like.

Those must be really good magic history beans you’ve got there.

More like potatosmasher.

Trump quit NATO? That ok with me.

And seriously, that last panel is the umpteenth “gasp, Trump with launch codes?!” lament I’ve seen in the two weeks.

What’s the basis for this? Trump is profoundly ignorant, but among the things he doesn’t “know” are all the hideous militarist lies and agenda that we take as true and normal. I think one of his biggest crimes in the eyes of the Beltway is his refusal to join in on the anti-Russia propaganda push, which somehow gets transmogrified into him being crazy to start a nuclear war.

If you listen to him, when asked about international crises, his response tends to be that Pres. Trump would pick up the phone and call a foreign leader. The words of a monster?

The Republican strategy for decades: Racism, Sexism, Homophobia, Xenophobia, and Greed; the Five Pillars of Folly

2009 was second only to 1929 as a financial catastrophe, and Obama pulled us out of the quagmire without a wartime economy (which helped FDR) and despite obstruction from Republicans beginning his first day in office.

Americans have a short memory and a shorter attention span. Republicans count on that as they try to re-write history. They are entitled to their own opinions, but not their own facts.

After we get Mexico to pay for the wall, we’ll make China pay US interest on our Treasuries! ARRRR.

Those trashing Pres. Obamas service as Commander in Chief please don’t embarrass yourselves by defending Bankrupt Trump. He can file bankruptcy to avoid paying his bill & apparently his taxes also. But the USA doesn’t have that luxury as any economist or anyone with a brain can tell you. While I would’ve loved Elizabeth Warren to be the Democrats nominee I can easily support Hillary when you see the awful alternative

But remember, there is no fighting in the War Room…

My one criticism of this comic is that the hands are drawn much too big!

I can’t believe I read that whole thing … again.

The sad thing is…. I would rather read that again than the usual trolls on here who simply reiterate redundant talking points without substance again and again and again… Sort of like getting to see a goat amongst the flock of mundane sheep.

I replied just so you wouldn’t feel lonely. After all, people read Eclectic-1’s post in its entirety and responded! It seems unfair that your relatively minor and strictly boilerplate whinges should go completely unrecognized.

While corporations hold the majority of accumulated wealth in this fair republic, it is telling that no one speaks of smashing them, though there is some chatter about increasing taxes. The USA has a gigantic private economy bent on extracting maximum profit with minimum responsibility—having hollowed out the body of their host these corporations will grow wings and eventually take flight. Always have, always will.

This Trump Monster gag brings out the best in Ruben Bolling. Let’s hope The Donald actually gets elected so we can have 4 to 8 more years of funny strips.
