Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for July 30, 2017

Can’t they just get 20 guys from a gay bar, put helmets on them and pass them off as coal miners?

“Reince? Reince!? Why doesn’t he answer me…”

@TOO-ZONKED

Poor Reince is still sitting on the Tarmac at JB Andrews.

Yeah, he’s probably lost a log of high blood pressure just over the last day or so. Can you imagine the stress levels? It’s a wonder some of them haven’t dropped dead of heart failure or stroke (yeah, I know, what hearts?)

Curse that 2 – 3 week comic delay!

Rince Prewash is yesterdays laundry

Reince you are fired. Get me the Mooch, he will do anything I ask.

Now we know why Reince was canned, he couldn’t get the miners.

Immoral acts with miners!!!

I guess Reince was just the canary in the coalmine.

Poor Reince Prebus out on his ear and still sings praises of his Lord an Master the Antichrist himself, Donald J. Trump. Only the antichrist could get elected doing all the wrong things and still be supported no matter what he does or says. (That is the strange part I still don’t understand.) He is going to destroy this nation if he isn’t stopped. If anyone one man can be blamed for bringing down the American Empire it will be our flaming poo president Trump.

An anomaly that shouldn’t be. A liar of infinite degree. Yet enough of the Electors believed he was the right one. What possessed them to think that? Because of our peculiar system we can elect someone without winning the popular vote. It has happened several time before. There was bitter recriminations especially the 1876 one.

Ah yes, Rutherford B. Hayes vs. Samuel J. Tilden. I remember it well.

Who is the girl in the photo on Sid’s desk? His daughter? His wife? Or his mistress?

In the worst case scenario, the US Constitution assigns to Congress the responsibility for sidelining an incompetent and dangerous, not to say treasonous, President. Don Juan has no conception of dealing or working with other people who not only have agendas of their own, but the power to advance them. He comes in thinking he’s just going to browbeat, intimidate, and push around the Speaker of the House & the Senate Majority Leader when the Minority is already arrayed against him. He is truly and clearly clueless, at home and abroad.

In the past, I have always doubted Congressional Repug’s integrity, courage, or inclination to rein in their snake-oil salesman. It looks like Don Juan may have solved the “inclination” problem on his own. The jury is still out as to whether they can summon sufficient integrity, and courage to act for the good of the country.

How about people working in green jobs. More of then than coal mining jobs.

What a disgusting example of a pure LOSER!! And I DON’T mean “The Prime Minister”!

The irony of today’s comic is killing me. Even with his short turn around Trudeau could not have predicted this.

Such tiny hands.

Elizabeth Barrett Browning wrote a sonnet entitled “How Do I Love Thee?” Have a little fun: read the sonnet and change each instance of the word “love” to “hate”. Name the new sonnet “How Do I Trump Thee?”

I hear the new chief of staff and scaramucci are expected to clash. This White House mess doesn’t just have huge changes over the course of weeks, it is often within hours. Meanwhile, the country is not seeing lots of positive changes, only discord. Sure, the zombie health bill lost, but we need to start seeing positive things not just reactions to constant negatives, but that is the way it is with the trump agenda.

I think tRump meant minors,not miners.So sad :~(

Trump did spell miners as minors in a tweet once. It was about “minors jobs.” He did apparently mean miners.

Of course, trump did have a little go at minors at the Boy Scout jamboree this past week though…

Rule #2 of working at the White House: Don’t buy any green bananas.

The Prince Rebus piece is missing from crazy Trump’s puzzle.

The Big Cheeto wants to save the mining industry but economics says no.

GT is dead on in that fifth panel. In Lil Donny’s Wide World of Delusion, those unemployed coal miners are probably all back at work now, bringing home YUGE!

paychecks.

Just like his (and Scooter Walker’s) YUGE! Foxconn “victory” this week. Never mind that Fox[y]Conn[Artist] has a long and ugly history of promising massive factories, and then not building them (just ask Harrisburg, PA). As well as eliminating tens of thousands of jobs by replacing workers with robots. You just can’t let inconvenient “fake news” stand in the way of a good photo op.

Priebusly on the West Wing…

This is all just a miner inconvenience.

Love the “Time” cover in panel 4.

I almost puked just now when I saw a commercial for something called trumpy bear.

Can’t Turtle find some miners?

Honors to Garry Trudeau for composing a Sunday strip with multiple layers of humor.Second, events moved too quick for Garry Trudeau again. Reince Priebus got ousted just days ago.

In fairness, no one can keep up with the endless amount of crap going on in the trump nut house.

More people work for the second-tier fast food chain Arby’s than work in the entire American coal industry.

I’m loving the huge head / tiny hands riff in these Sunday comics.
