Ziggy by Tom Wilson & Tom II for August 22, 2023

There is nobody to blame here but the GOP for not removing Trump from power when they had the chance.

Now they get to humiliate themselves bending over backwards watering down and normalizing his criminal behavior.

The first one they indict, and it’s the only one who hasn’t done anything wrong. (Including the current one.)

The reality is that it’s now the low hanging fruit. When you elect a grifter, don’t be surprised when he grifts. The mafia must be kicking themselves for not thinking of it before the loser with the orange glow came along.

Isn’t politics fun!!!

With the writers strike, they have to get all the gags from the news. But today’s news is overkill funny stuff.

I can’t wait for all the constant political ads and lies!

Do the crime, do the time.

I do wonder what the children — especially teenage children — of Trump cultists actually think of Trump.

Proud to live in a country where even the president can be indicted.

I was more than a little amused when John Roberts announced that “racism” was dead when the Supreme Court started killing all the voting rights laws – it’s been my experience that Racists and Bigots breed new racists and bigots – what we learn at our mother or father’s knees stick with us through life – cultural memory runs deep and is not changed in a generation or two – I’m in my seventies and I have people with whom I was raised that still believe that the Confederacy really didn’t "loose’"what they STILL refer to as “the War of Northern Aggression”…

Trump is just the naked exposure of the bigotry and racism that has ALWAYS existed in parts of the American psyche – it hasn’t been bred OUT of people so much as it’s merely becoming “proper” for it to be exposed and discussed – Trump gave it legitimacy, he didn’t create it…

This one seems kinda out of character for Ziggy?

I posted a comment that simply said “Trump” as a test to see what would happen. You wouldn’t believe what that started!

Unfortunately, today’s Ziggy is a “more-truth-than-not” commentary on today’s political climate.

Most of us grew up being told that anyone in the U.S. can grow up to be president. Then we figured out it was the best and the brightest. Then Trump came along and a lot of people figured out that all you have to do to be president is be an a**hole.

REALLY!!

Complaining about indictments instead of being disgusted by the crimes that were committed is pathetic. These people broke the laws that we the people live by. Men and women have fought and died for these rights. Today’s strip is just wrong!
