Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for September 23, 2018

Is Kavanaugh also coming down the pipe?

Trump is not draining the swamp.

Who knew that when Donald Trump yelled “Drain the swamp” on the campaign trail, he meant, take all the mud and alligators out of the swamp and dump them in a big spread from the White House to the capitol?

Who knew that the ones yelling “lock her up” would be the ones rotting in prison cells?

GUILTY: Trump campaign chair Paul Manafort

GUILTY: Trump fixer and lawyer Michael Cohen

GUILTY: National Security Advisor Michael Flynn (who led the “lock her up chant”)

GUILTY: Deputy campaign manager, transition and White House advisor Rick Gates

GUILTY: Campaign foreign affairs advisor George Papadopoulos

Trump keeps calling it a “witch hunt” but we keep finding the SMOKING BROOMSTICKS!

Draining the swamp? That would be Robert Mueller (decorated war hero, much respected non-partisan investigator, and life long Republican).

@Eye-Gore: I didn’t realize Fox ran a comedy club. Where are you appearing?

The Totus may have run on a slogan of clearing the swamps, but he brought a lot of alligators with him. There’s wonderful Education Secretary Betsy DeVos, who so passionately advocates for school choice that she has praised historically African-American colleges as pioneers of school choice (totally misunderstanding – or maybe ignoring – the fact that those colleges were founded because segregation laws kept African Americans out of many colleges). And of course there’s the wonderful Secretary of HUD, Ben Carson, who has long been a strong critic of HUD’s role in enforcing fair housing laws, and who believes that anyone who receives any subsidy for their rent (whether disabled, over age 80 or what) should be required to accept any job…

Not a swamp, those are just floaters from the septic system passing out to the leach field.

This looks more like just the overflow from the swamp. What remains, well crap, there’s just too much for this forum. I could write a book about it but it appears several other people already have.

My goodness, Garry Trudeau apparently has a huge readership in Russia! I guess that’s what happens when they sense dangerous truths. Force of habit, I expect.

And Trudeau is 100% correct YET AGAIN!!!

Frankly I think the words “the swamp” has become a Republican racist dog whistle phrase to describe the social safety net, which Trump gleefully wants to tear to shreds since he thinks the only people who are on welfare are blacks and Hispanics and he thinks they all cheat the system.

Kavanaugh is hanging out in the swamp now. He is as nasty as any of them.

How did Republican congressional and senatorial leaders escape being part of the swamp?

The Republicans keep refilling the swamp,vote them out in November.

Well done.

Your comments are sometimes over the top (straying a little into fantasy). This time, I think you went just to the top. +1 for well-written, too!

First you fill the swamp & then you drain it.

I wish that the Republican Party – what’s left of it ( no pun intended ) – would wake up and realize that Emperor tRUMP is not a Republican. He is a RHINO and has no loyalty to any party or any person but himself. He’d even throw his own wife and kids under the bus, if he deemed it necessary.

Drain the swamp, then refill it with more of the same.

Leeches, alligators, and other swamp critters are complaining about being compared to Republican politicians, they say it’s damaging their image.

Nice Russian propaganda, Igor

Sorry, Joey. Obviously you can’t handle the truth; scatalogical references aside.

So, what other “administration” in the history of the U.S. has had SO MANY officials, lackeys, flunkies and assorted hangers-on either indicted, convicted, or “resigning to spend more time with their families” , hum? Maybe St. Ronnie the Senile, or “President” Cheney and mini-me shrub?? King Richard the Nix, perhaps??

Fake News! Does not use correct Russian styles.

Oh look, (Blank) from (Blank) has discovered either irony or honesty. Can’t quite decide which.

Ajit Pai, the slayer of net neutrality, needs to be added to the Trump toxic landfill.

More scum coming soon … :/

Igor, is it satire or a test?

More Allegorygators in that swamp than they ever imagined.

It’s one way to drain the swamp. Trump hires ’em & Mueller jails ’em.

Gary did you give Wiley a break this week, seems like his crowd

Did you say ‘learned president’? Honestly? This president has said he knows more about climate change than do people who have made a career of studying the climate. He has said he knows more about ISIS than do the generals. There is an old Arabic saying, part of which goes like this: ‘He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool. . . .’

WHAT WMD in Iraq? You mean the ones they failed to find while Dubya was in office? Try again.

Breaking news is there is a 2nd Kavanaugh accuser, this one at Yale. She said he exposed himself to her.

If Kavanaugh has 16 more accusers does that mean we have to make him president?

Avenatti representing a 3rd victim of Kavanaugh. Stick a fork in him, he’s done.

Get lost Boris.

Most women I know in my (boomer) generation don’t talk about assaults from high school, or even college, boy friends or acquaintances. They talk of older, often married, men who corner them somewhere away from friends and family. Teenage girls and young women in their early 20’s, even today, tend to feel helpless when confronted with an aggressive and confident older man. And predators tend to choose victims not so much for their attractiveness as for their youth and vulnerability; in other words, the ones who won’t report them.

Draining the swamp of that which you filled it does not count!

If only we could really get it done. . . .

…Trudeau, you hate freedom, you’re really from Kenya, you’re a paid-up member of MS-13, you had pastrami nodhes with George Soros and you’re really Geraldine Trudeau!!!!!!!!!!! J’ACCUSE! Lock her up!
