Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 29, 2024

This would be funny if it wasn’t do accurate. Musk is already trying to take over the party and kick out magats. This is going to turn into a full fledged civil war, but there will be no civility. Get the popcorn ready as we watch our country get torn down.

WOW!!! Ringling Brothers NEVER had a clown car like this one!

And the only gear it has is reverse. God knows why it’s sitting still right now!

Coming soon!

Trudeau breaks his seeming silence. Good for him!

The U.S. flushed itself down the toilet.

Well, finally—a political Sunday comic! Will they squeeze all the Republicans in Congress and the SCOTUS in there? And will Elon Musk have the “honor” of turning the wind-up key??

Well, at least, almost two months after the election, he FINALLY managed to acknowledge that Trump won. Way to show the class due a Pulitzer winner.

Best one I’ve ever seen! We can definately smell it coming and it will stink when it gets here

I hope that Trudeau returns to portraying Traitor Trump with blood (and massive amounts of it!) on his hands. I’m a stickler for historical accuracy.

One typo.

Should be Fox “news”. Forgot the quotes.

The “fellow clown” label went completely over Hedley’s head!

I wonder if Fernando D’Forrest Jr or Robin Hood will show up and have their say?

Trump is really the perfect avatar for a nation in decline. It isn’t surprising that a country where far too many citizens are easily distracted by the trivial. who paint themselves as victims in search of “others” as being the cause of their unhappiness, and are unwilling to put in even the most minimal the work to protect democracy would elevate a “leader” who is a lazy, willfully ignorant, and self-centered sociopath.

This would be funnier if it were accurate. I especially like the reference to “sex offenders” (reference to Matt Gaetz, who was framed?) and NOT mentioning Democrats like Joe and Hunter Biden, Bill Clinton, Ed Buck, the Podesta brothers…

Oops, I forgot the Republicans have Rick Wilson and the rest of the Lolita Project crew. Nasty bunch of creeps.

And it runs on the road paved with the worst intentions. Not the road to heaven, just in case you thought the opposites worked like that. The suckers who voted for it deserve it, but the rest of us are being dragged along for the ride.

Remembering what happened last time, I hope we’ll survive four more years.

The clowns are out in force today…making poopcorn!!!!

Glad – and surprised to see they allow comments here. This is pretty spot-on.

What’s really funny is reading TDS members crying their eyes out…

Oh, look! Dementia Joe has seats all for himself! Especially the window seat! And look! Hunter and the Big Guy have a direct line to Red China! Poor Trudeau! He’s always so confused. It’s a Wokemobile!!!

And it’s being steered either over a cliff or into a wall at high speed by the MAGAt drivers.

They need to build a bus to hold all those pedos

His appointments are so bad and unqualified he has to be trolling us.

They left out how the exhaust makes a hilarious wet farting sound that drowns out the sound of good common sense and decency and everything else whenever it’s running!

I think what people are missing about trump in this transition to the new administration, involving Musk and all the crazy things going on, is the way he uses outrageous statements as a distraction. For example, his talk about making Canada the 51st state or adding Greenland to the United States—these things sound absurd, but that’s the point. Over the last several months, his wild claims serve as smoke and mirrors to distract from what’s really happening behind the scenes.

It’s diabolically genius, the way this operates. It’s just like how a magician works: they distract you with something fantastic on one side, while on the other side, they’re executing the real trick. All the chaos and noise are deliberate, designed to keep people’s attention away from the truth.

Got a song runnin’ in my head…

“We’re on a highway to Hell…”

The TDS is strong with these commenters. As usual.

In 2016 the politically naïve tRump thought he had lost the election and was surprised to find that he had won. McConnell managed to get what he thought he wanted, someone to sign into law whatever and whoever he chose. Contrary to what some think, tRump is not stupid. In fact he is very smart. He learns quickly. As tRump learned how to seize power he threw those in his way under the bus. McConnell and the rest, outside now looking in. He knew that all he needed was his base. The promises and lies and drama and money would get the temporary added support needed for an election. Money can bring you to power, but money can’t buy that power. It’s been tried before many times in our history. Intangibles get that power. tRump has the intangibles, and has the power. Not Musk, and Musk never will. Not Theil, nor any other billionaire. Remember the Koch brothers. When tRump decides he will throw Musk and anyone else under that bus. And there is not a thing they can do about it.

But where’s the typewriter so that Rudy and Sydney can put out their briefs using the latest technology?

2016 revealed how weak American exceptionalism really was.

2020 revealed how weak Trump really was.

2024 revealed how weak American voters really are.

A bit on the nose, but still funny.

This is the TDS Cult Headquarters.BE Careful, the koolaid has issues.

They keep reporting that Trump is just being Trump and trying to make a deal when he talks about Panama, Greenland and Canada. Or that he is just joking. The ultimate test of his authoritarianism will be any future attempt to fire all the Generals in the Armed Forces. Alternatively he may just be trying to stick to form and make sure his current term will be a failure like his first term and all of his businesses.

Needs more cowbell.

Aoooogah, honk honk

haven’t watched the news in months and don’t plan to for the next 4 years for my sanity and to keep my blood pressure down. i’m enjoying the calm.

SNOOKY BOINKS!!!HAHAHAHA

Save your roadkill for late night snacks.

Several Republicans have whined that electric cars are “unmanly”, because the Republican definition of “manly” is “wasting resources and harming everyone around you”.

So THIS is where the Deranged Trump Haters are now roosting. And seriously messing up the GoComics site. I thought comments on political cartoons were banned. Double standard much?

History will certainly refer to this as America’s first (and hopefully) last Clown administration. (que the brain dead Clown sycophants and brow shirts.)

No brakes is woke-free? Dude, you’re talking about the Biden Administration and whoever’s been running the government.

Nothing funny here, but way too much true. It is going to be bad, really bad.

Who’s the loser now GT?

Brilliant! Cassandra couldn’t have said it better!

Sheer stupidity. Mr Trudeau needs to step back from his Trump Derangement Syndrome. It has gotten very boring.

Electing lying felon traitor Trump was again was the USA’s biggest mistake.

Says it all, except it does not mention the double-swing doors, so that scapegoat clowns can be easily kicked out and new ones loaded aboard.

Musk calls MAGAs “contemptible fools” – says they must be “removed”, “root and stem”

I wonder what kind of strip he had prepared for if it turned out that there is indeed a God and Harris had won. :-|

I enjoyed the cartoon, Mr. Trudeau.

William Tenn wrote a story to this effect in the 1950s. Time traveler wakes up in the future (now far past our time) to be greeted by a man driving a car with big tailfins and no speedometer. He makes a buzzing sound with his lips to show how fast they are going. In that future, everyone has got the stupids.

Leftist conspiracy theories abound in Bidenville. But in the aftermath of such utter rejection, they’ve taken to such things as the reading of tea leaves, where others take note of the directional flight paths of flocks of birds. Nothing seems to assuage their bruised egos. Impossible Dream Biden/Hillary 2028!

This is not the strip that ran in the Boston Globe today. What gives?

This is pretty much the perfect analogy for what a second GOP “administration” (I use the term loosely) will be like: clowns, criminals, Russian assets, and lunatics with parasitic brain infections. Also soulless oligarchs robbing us blind while the “free press” gazes as the clowns.

Dem operatives using the Senate chamber for acts of sodomy? BTW, Byrd? You wouldn’t be related to the Grand Wizard of West Virginia, Robert Byrd, would you?

I think it’s too bad there’s no MUTE function in this forum. It’s not a big deal, mind you, I just think it’s too bad, that’s all.

I checked the Comments section of several strips immediately following Biden’s win, and Biden supporters didn’t taunt and insult Trump supporters nearly as much as the reverse has been the case. Obviously Biden supporters have a lot more class than Trump supporters, which is admittedly not entirely unlike saying “I’m a nicer guy than Stalin.”

Also by the windows so they can show other things to people.

I take comfort in the inescapable fact that due to any number of unforeseeable circumstances, I could drop dead tomorrow and escape this farce forever. Seriously, sometimes that’s all that gets me through the day.

They just broke on on TV, Jimmy Carter has died.

Mailed it. A pack of clowns, traitors, con artists, and Nazi lunatics.

I would laugh, but it’s hard to when you’re crying. Amazing how many clowns you can fit into the bus.

I’d ask who was more clueless, Gary or the delusional fans of this comic but I don’t want to start a contest. With everything coming to light on Brandon and THIS is all you got?

I just heard that President Carter has passed. He was a sincerely decent man who encompassed the best of us. Think about President Carter while we prepare for Trump, the absolute worst person ever to be the President of the United States.

There are “right-wing” comic strips out there. I never read them, much less comment on them. I’ve got better things to do with my time. Evidently the “right-wing” commentators on this “left-wing” comic strip can’t say the same. Tsk, tsk, tsk. Sad, really.

The Cabinet meetings are going to be interesting. Too bad nobody wants to do the pay-per-view gig on them.

All the world loves a clown—-except these clowns
