I wonder what happened to “The Buck Stops Here”?

The pressed and starched corps?

Hey GT, next time make sure you draw an excellent double chin on him. Gotta be fair and accurate….

Harder to love than the beloved of Michelle Obama, so somebody else go first.

Do y’all remember that our boy at Fox asked that exact question back during the Bush days? Pass the torch there good buddy you have been outdone.

Talk about fake news. Leaving the impression that Bb is KKK

New KKK, with goatees…

#unpresidented

Interesting! During the “Cold War”, The Intelligence community referred to these papers as “Pravda West.”

New Year’s Resolutions 1. Help elect President Anybodyelse in 2020. 2. Eliminate the Electoral College.

And now, a few words from GT: www;publishers weekly.com/pw/by-topic/authors/interviews/article/72275-q-a-garry-trudeau

When did he ho;d a press conference?

I wonder how many commenters here are actually Putin inspired Russians that are trying to make being Liberal seem like a bad thing?

Example of fake news headline: Trump is transitioning! He will be a member of the female sex soon!

I wonder how many saw the latest idiotic Trump tweet yesterday? Trump said that something China did was “unpresidented.”

Yep, it’s that freedom of the press that allows old fascist-progressive Gary to slander Breitbart and ignore all the fake news spewing forth from Huffington…

So, the perfidious pundits that pilloried Hillary and patted the Pudgy Prevaricator on his fake pate should ponder the pernicious possibility that press freedom might pay the piper.

The national nightmare. I guess it’s what dumb ass America deserve

It’s amazing the way so many of my parents old sayings continue to be so accurate today, like the pot calling the kettle black for example.

We’re so fu_king doomed.

Sooo, it appears that Doonesbury is going to depict this president as a whole head. Not just a feather or beat up helmet or some other icon. I suppose it is impossible to depict Don’s hair without a head.

The 1st Amendment is a wonderful thing.

Only in the world of Prez Trump would we see the KKK being quoted on a daily basis on the news.

The world of Trump in a doonesbury cartoon will never be boring. Scary, yes, boring, no.

GT is back and in fine form. Altho, like he has done for past presidents, he should have an icon to represent Trump

Oh, he doesn’t need one. He’s done a great job of showing what trump is for the past 30 years; a lying, conceited, ignorant, self absorbed, corrupt bully. No icon required, just the word ‘trump’ says it all. America now on the down slide to 3rd world status, too bad. #NOTMYPRESIDENT!

“uppity black folks”? OK so that was you in the KKK uniform that Trudeau added in the last panel.

I think that you haven’t got a clue due to watching so many years of Fake News on the fns channel.Mr Ailes stated in court, under oath, that fns was an opinion network, not a news network

Breitbart equals extremist right wing propaganda.

I hate to say it, but this Presidency might just cause the end of Doonesbury. The vitriol in here is going to get hotter than it’s ever gotten, and I don’t want to even think about the hate mail and death threats GT is going to get.

@ The Wolf In Your Midst: The line is growing ever thinner and will soon look like a garrote. (imho)

Brilliant, sir. Absolutely brilliant. Please come out of retirement. We need you more than ever.

I ask out of genuine curiosity: do you believe that none of the descriptions given to Trump apply?I was rooting for Hillary, but I will admit that she seemed self-entitled and a bit to quick to dismiss any criticisms.She really should have railed against the DNC treatment of Sanders, and agreed with Trump that the government has lots of problems.She probably didn’t because it didn’t look like she needed to, she was going to win..One last question – Do you think the appointments that the appointments that Trump has announced will really ‘Drain the Swamp’? I think that was the reason why he won, enough people who feel ignored, scorned and dis-empowered want change.I’ve heard lots about the fate of Obama-care and Climate change, but precious little about gerrymandering (a HUGE problem in the USA) or how laws are made.

By liberal (small “l”) you mean anyone at all including conservative Republicans on that? Yes com[pared to a KKKer, Christian Fundamentalist Nationalist or a American Nazi the rest of us do look liberal.

We can count on Trudeau to help us through the next four (hopefully less) years.

About as long as it will take you Alt-Righters to get over Obama.

There was nothing fair about the way trump got in office. The one sided hacking by the Russians, the antiquated electoral college trumping the popular vote, the double standards of the media allowing Trump to get away with any bizarre comment he wanted to make, while continually making a fuss over an email server. Every other country in the world just calls the majority vote, the vote, not some sort of lesser “popular” vote. Trump ran as a joke and now we all will pay for this clown. The time has come to allow for the majority vote to be the determining vote. The electoral college must go along with the confederate flag, and other dark abominations throughout the history of the United States.

Somehow, I don’t think reasoned argument will be of much use.You want to throw Michelle Obama in jail? What did she do? Plant vegetables in the Rose Garden?Seriously – besides being married to a man whose policies you despise, what law did she break?

Trump “election” is a great victory for Russia. They were on the ropes – sanctions tightening; economy crumbling. Now Putin’s White House team will help bring about the end of the American world order. Opportunities for Russian mischief will abound.

So, the perfidious pundits that pilloried Hillary and patted the Pudgy Prevaricator on his fake pate should ponder the pernicious possibility that press freedom might have to pay the piper

Most of your gibberish is marred by lack of name recognition like “obozo” which is senseless. Don’t we have the right to stop murdering people we don’t know and have not gone through our own legal system? Using drones to LRK people who some have identified, but not verified are such-an- such isn’t good law enforcement and lousy war fighting. War Crimes is what the US does. Every day and counting. We are just too powerful to be ever brought up on charges and censured by the UN. which is a paper tiger anyway.

Gary didn’t have any depictions of Obama, so now we get the whole Monty Trump.

You castigate President Trump when you accused him of saying he wouldn’t abide by the results if he lost (which he never said)

.

No, he was asked—twice—in the last debate if he would abide by the results of the election, and he equivocated and avoided the question better than Bill Clinton ever could. Nice to know we’re getting an outsider to drain the swamp.

Now I could look at this two ways because there is no indicator this is sarcasm. So I read it as you being serious. Am I wrong? Know Poe’s Law.

.

Your problem with the Russians is that they didn’t attack all candidates equally?

Very interesting.

.

.

You are down on it because it is old?

So is representative democracy.

Throw that out too?

.

It was set up in part to get the smaller states to join the proposed new federal government.

You want to abolish it now that they are trapped?

Very interesting.

.

.

They reported on all the actions. The American people got to judge which were worse or more forgivable.

You want to overrule their votes?

Fascinating.

.

Maybe the government should order the press to report what you want the People to know and how to think about it,

.

" Every other country in the world just calls the majority vote, the vote, not some sort of lesser “popular” vote."

.

Every other country is some other country.

We don’t have to copy them just to get along.

That would be childish.

.

Also a number of other countries are dictatorships, so “the vote” is not a matter of discussion.

You really should know something before describing everything

.

“The time has come to allow for the majority vote to be the determining vote. The electoral college must go”

.

So you want to throw out the Constitution including the way it establishes amendment? I assure you the small

So you want to throw out the Constitution including the way it establishes amendment? I assure you the smaller states won’t go along with ceding power to big bullies just to make you happy.

.

I don’t really think you want to be a dictator; you just want everybody to do what you say.

The Russians only hacked and reported on the people they disliked. Then, the us media reported on what a foreign government meddling had to say. You ok with that? Some are smart enough to know the shoe could be on the other foot someday.

Well. it IS a more accurate way of saying it.

I do prefer accuracy and truth, don’t understand why it so bothers so many others.

.

— The Pope told Americans he disapproved of Trump’s silly wall construction project.

.

— Britain told the world they didn’t want a racist like Trump entering their country.

.

— Mexico told America Trump was lying when he claimed Mexico would pay for American construction of the silly wall.

.

— All Americans paying attention knew powerful foreign interests opposed Hillary in power and that Russia’s Putin favored Trump because trump would kill NATO and allow their imperialism.

.

Only the most ignorant didn’t know this was going on.

.

" Some are smart enough to know the shoe could be on the other foot someday."

.

You are afraid people will want to stay in the dark because they are afraid someday the flaws of those heartless, money-grubbing Republicans might be exposed?

You would prefer that darkness?

@Jack’s World

“It doesn’t have beautiful view but it does have a nice family. We don’t call an entire nationality of people rapists and drug dealers.”

.

He didn’t call them “rapists and drug dealers.”

He said “rapists OR drug dealers.”

He even allowed that SOME just MIGHT be good people.

(I assume those were the many he hired in his hotels.)

.

“We don’t ask a foreign power to hack the computers of people we disagree with.”

.

He didn’t actually call on them to hack Hillary.

He assumed they already had.

That was his way of driving home the very fact that she had exposed our country to possible enemies who could use the information to harm us and our allies.

.

“We don’t call prisoners of war losers. We don’t mock the physically disabled.”

.

He IS guilty of those things and many others.

“We would not do what other countries do just to copy them but because it is the right thing to do to support a true democracy.”

.

Then use THAT argument, not

“We should do it because everybody else is.”

“The electoral college must go”

.

This does not allow for others to freely disagree.

reminds me of the old ‘Colbert Report’. Stephen used to ask conservatives ‘tough but fair’ questions like ‘Why do you think Democrats hate America?’ Drumpf would love getting a question like that.
