Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for August 22, 2021

“But they won’t be allowed to use it after they finish building it.”

Reminds me of the 2011 incident when Wisconsin Gov. Scott Walker dropped everything one workday afternoon to take a phone call from right-wing billionaire donor David Koch (who lived in Kansas at the time.) However, the caller was actually a New York blogger impersonating David Koch. Still, Walker talked with the faux-Koch for at least 20 minutes.

I have no difficulty believing that South Dakota Gov. Kristi Noem would interrupt a supposedly busy schedule in midday and have an extended chat with an out of state money man. Many politicians willingly kowtow to moneyed interests, but usually they don’t like to be seen as doing so. Republicans, in contrast, see such subservience as an actual virtue.

Yet another cartoon that members of the Republican Party Of Trump will be unable to understand.

Easy score, no dinner or movie. Right to the porkrinds.

Here in NC we laugh at the thought of someone saying corrupt. Go ahead, try to stop the gerrymander, it changes color so fast we cant see it sometimes. Roswell in ‘47? US Navy in 2018, so why are they coming out with the UFO stuff now? Has it gotten to the point where they can’t stop it, I suppose? Cabals, corrupt and UFO’s, Wow such interesting times.

It seems that the Dems like to use US Troops to protect their asses.

Noem couldn’t take the call, she was partying with the motorcyclists at the super-spreader Sturgis rally.

Noem I think, is being a bit of a hypocrite on illegal immigration, rumor has it that lots of the large dairies in the state employ illegal alien labor and I think she is an advocate of these large dairies.

Well, in a world where a few thousand “Contractors” are about to be unemployed, I’m thinking there may be an opportunity here. Lets see what Shawshank South Dakota can do with it.

I’m disappointed in Mr Trudeau jumping on the sloppy English bandwagon. It’s “in regard to”, for some reason that superfluous s drives me bonkers.

C’mon. CEO’s don’t call out the NG to build amenities. They call out the NG to bust up labor demonstrations.

So anything going on in Afghanistan?

Par for the course…

Why are there TWO Dakotas, anyway? Who needs a spare Dakota?

Good thing Trudeau is on top of the news. His comments on the latest headlines are so relevant.

Oh the evil Republicans again. Do you think it’s too late for Trudeau to figure out that a dying capitalism is the real problem? Yes, it is too late, but he’s always funny. A comic genius.

It seems like there might be a cheaper way to get 100 workers with no golf-course-construction related skills. Possibly by hiring illegal immigrants.

Noem doesn’t appear to have a problem with (an alleged) rapist from Queens…..

Whenever I hear Michelle Bachmann’s name, I just think of her opening wide for that corn dog. Sorry, you were saying?

South Dakota, you will recall, is a landlocked state with no international border at all.

So this is what Hollingsworth Hound looks like in real life.

Noem is an amazing person and not in a good way.

Why the hell is Andrews still alive? He was an old guy back in the 80s…

Gives “in the weeds” a whole new meaning.

So he wants the Navy’s Seabees. Since North Dakota is landlocked, I doubt it has them. National Guard, maybe.
