Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for June 02, 2024

Donald Junior for VP

Demented voters against a demented dictator? Not likely.

I bet Trump anoints one of his vile offspring to succeed him as grand poobah when the white coats come to take him away.

Yes, he will install one his dim-wits to succeed him, and change the vote tally to make sure!!!

I realize it’s too soon to issue a post-conviction strip—but thank you, Garry for posting another all-too true one here today. I love the Sunday strips in general, and the ones knocking down the Orange Baboon in particular.

If you were in a jury pool and during the voir dire were asked “Do you owe your current prestigious, lucrative, lifetime job to the defendant?” and you truthfully answered “yes”, nobody’d even blink when you were excused from the jury for cause.

But if you were in the judicial rotation to be assigned to that very same case, you won’t be asked that extremely pertinent question, and you might well end up being the judge presiding over the trial of said defendant.

American “justice” system, meet Aileen Cannon.

Before long, his only “fans” will be Nazis, white-supremacists, and other “haters”—all of whom should be stripped of their citizenships and run out of the country!!

SO…EVERYBODY wants to kill America, which so many people died for our FREEDOM to hand it over to a demented psycho felon with 64 more counts against him. Who made 6 Jan 2021 happen, never pays his bills, loves only money. Loved only by leaches. He will still your FREEDOM…Let"s celebrate 6 June…it might be our last!

Four more years of a Joe Biden presidency would be lethal for America and American Workers.

^^^The sun is shining in Moscow.

@star-troll above. Apart from the record employment rate, job creation, stock market at 40k (highest ever), inflation down faster and lower than any other G7 country… oh, and wages up 37% in 3 years. Yes, you are absolutely right, he could be doing so much more for the US workers!

The American republic has the stupids real bad. Terminal stupidity of the walking dead democracy.

Oh well. It’s already a judicial dictatorship. I learned that from a law student right after Bush v Gore. Can’t remember which side he was on, but I do remember why he was in law school.

Can you imagine nonpartisan Justices? Most of them were back then. So here’s my reform proposal:

“A nonpartisan Justice may compel up to two junior partisan Justices to recuse themselves.”

What’s wrong with that idea? Or what’s your better solution approach?

Guilty!, Guilty!, Guilty!

GUILTY!

Reagan stuck to the script and got away with it for quite a while …

I noticed an error in panel 2. Trump’s hands are drawn too large.

Rapist Donald J. Trump, Convicted Felon. That’s the truth…say it loud say it proud. ELECTION INTERFERENCE…not ’hush’ anything…words matter.

It took years after the fact, but it finally came out that when Brezhznev started the disastrous Soviet war in Afghanistan, he had full-blown dementia. Bad things can happen.

(Heaving heavy sigh)…yep…just about right.

Hard to believe a convicted felon can become president.

A master class in Gaslighting and Propaganda in a failed attempt to distract from the actual dementia of Dementia Joe.

We will be the first nation to knowingly throw away a functioning democracy. This despite a booming economy (thank Joe Biden). It’s not “it’s the economy, stupid !” It’s the stupid. The “POS” raked in $50 million after the conviction!!! A nation of armed idiots…

After many sickening years of Trump, the end of MAGA may seem possible but not probable because 64 percent of Republicans still think that Trump is innocent.

An old man’s observation.

People throw shade on Eric T. and yet it was Eric who was there for the old man. Maybe Eric’s the best of the bunch?

This too shall pass.

Far too true to be funny.

Trump’s supporters don’t care. They’ll gladly burn this country to the ground, so long as they get to rebuild it in their- and only their- image.

In the next-to-last panel – the guy checking to see how the others will react. Yeah.

I hate to defend the Tangerine T*rd, but this is the MAGAt explanation of why Biden could not have won. It is comparing Biden’s numbers in key states in 2020 to Obama’s numbers in the same states in 2012. Still nonsense, but not the delusion as it is being portrayed.

sad indeed.

Bottom of Panel 2: Trudeau brings the receipts.

It is amazing the contortions MAGAts twist themselves into defending Trump.

“He isn’t guilty of anything, but if he is, so is {insert name of Democrat}.”

Sometimes said Democrat is guilty, sometimes it’s a similar crime, but not so flagrant, sometimes there is no guilt anywhere than in the mind of the MAGAt, who actually knows he is lying, but he isn’t going to admit it, even to himself. BUT THE FACT REMAINS THAT NO MATTER WHO ELSE IS GUILTY OF WHATEVER, TRUMP IS GUILTY OF EVERYTHING HE IS CHARGED WITH AND OTHER PEOPLE’S DISHONESTY DOESN’T ABSOLVE HIM.

“Trump is a bad man, but he does good things for the country.”

When you ask specifically what good things he has done, you get a blank stare most of the time. One MAGAt I asked this question said that he liked what Trump has planned for the border. So, I quoted the border bill that was presented to congress, and he agreed that was the exact stuff Trump promised, and the border was the most important thing influencing his vote. When I explained to him that I had just told him what was in the border bill that Trump instructed the HofR not to even be allowed to be debated, he told me I was lying.

“The only other choice is Biden and he’s senile.”

Biden is old, so is Trump. Biden makes sense when he speaks, Trump doesn’t.

If you want to vote for Trump, I can’t imagine why, but you have every right to do so. But, don’t make up reasons that are dishonest. Just admit that you are fully aware that Trump is a demented, stupid, dishonest, piece of &(^&(, but apparently you like (&(&)(.

AND, PLEASE ASK YOURSELF WHY YOU LIKE &&(.

Ever wonder who actually clicks on “Like” for a trollish comment? Hover your cursor over the little number to the right of the ♥ and you’ll see that it’s one or more of its fellow inane provocateurs — probably one of its bunkmates in the Kremlin’s troll cellar.

But Biden did run in the 2008 Iowa Democratic caucus, then dropped out. Was Iowa a swing state that year? Just trying to lower the bar of truth here.

Whoooo boy…the Biden administration is trying to call TRUMP demented? If they were projecting any harder they’d be an IMAX show.

NOOO!!!

All of the above, and when tRump understands he is next. I wonder how the secret service will react their oath is to protect the institution of the president; if tRump does away with that institution will they fulfill their oaths? They lied for him before when they erased 8 minutes of their records, those 8 minutes should be investigated and the ones involved shot for dereliction of their duty as he was attempting to overthrow the office

I was hoping for a replay of Mark saying on the radio, “GUILTY, GUILTY, GUILTY…” But “demented dictator” made me laugh till I cried.

If #45 wins re-election will the 22nd Amendment prevent him from running again in 2028?

It wouldn’t hurt if this forum had an IGNORE function. I’m not saying it would be a big deal by any mens. I’m just saying it wouldn’t HURT.

I doubt that anyone in the DNC is losing sleep either.

So the ‘two-party’ system has come to this: an oligarchy with two warring factions, each trying to shove a senile, incompetent, would-be dictator down our throats.

@thevideostoreguy I have heard Biden speak several times and each time his speech has been coherent and made perfect sense. Any time I have read transcripts of Trump’s speeches, it is a word salad that makes little to no sense. If you work hard enough you can maybe get the sense of what he is trying to say but you cannot be sure due to the incoherence of how he presents it. You might try some other news sources to see if you get a better view of the real reality.

trump is like Mother Teresa, Leon Trotsky, Abraham Lincoln, Nelson Mandela and Jesus of Nazareth, Mary Queen of Scots, and Jimmy Buffet, all at once. I feel honored to live in the same time as this great statesman.

Are the Maga terrorists going to take up arms against the USA for lying oath breaking insurrectionist Trump the felon?

I believe DJT has totally lost touch with reality. Saw an excerpt from Fox & Friends where he thought the public would be outraged if he was sentenced to house arrest. As a member of the voting public, I would celebrate such an event.

LOCK HIM UP!

I don’t care where, as long as I don’t have to see that creepy face or listen to the nonsense draining outta his gob.

The people in this don’t seem to look like MAGAts. Where are the XL women and men, for that matter, with their red caps and clubs and pitchforks (wait a minute, the last not yet)?

More is the pity, and the terror if our nation does not have the good sense to send this demented convicted felon to a retirement home

After a couple Sundays of actually entertaining strips with no political commentary, Trudeau goes back to his incredibly inane attacks on Trump and trump supporters.

Anyone else remember that time when Trump repeated said “Obama” instead of “Biden”? Anyone else remember him “explaining” by claiming that Obama was the true power behind Biden’s metaphorical throne? Because as many times as I’ve raised the topic to MAGA, they just…kind of ignore me. I guess that’s ONE thing that Trump said that they DON’T believe. And you’ve got to start somewhere…

This would be funnier if it were not so close to the truth. Still well done and spot on.

Ya’ll know well he ain’t going to church today…

That’s all changed now; Trudeau is going to need some new material

I could not afford the kind of drugs it would take to sleep with that on my conscience.

There is only one demented dictator running for president and it is not Donald Trump/

It’s time to resurrect CREEP…those of us of a certain age will recollect how that ended for RMN and his VP.

Saved by the moron gene!!

Could someone please explain “Well re-vu-du… oohhh” to me?

I found out that sentencing someone for a crime includes giving them a physical and mental evaluation. Can Trump get past a real examination without being committed? He will brag they aren’t going to send him to jail. And miss the part where he ends up in the mental ward.

For he’s a bloody great felon, And so say all of us.

Trump has supposedly also demonstrated symptoms of tertiary syphilis. Not sure how much there is to that claim, though.

if they all hadn’t closed due to Trump’s lifelong inadequacy running a business, the authorities should go back to Atlantic City and look for marked cards and rigged roulette wheels

Thank you, Garry. During these times, we can use all the levity we can get! ❤️

Snappy color scheme there, Mr. Facilitator. Does purple mean you’re playing nonpartisan and leaving voters to seal their own fate?
