Tom the Dancing Bug by Ruben Bolling for March 22, 2019

It’s sad, but it’s true: Donald Trump is too damn stupid to realize that he was only ever able to attend “prestigious” schools because his money-laundering career criminal father bought him into them. And, it’s also sad (and also true!) that Don Jr. and Eric and Ivanka are too damn stupid to realize that they were only ever able to attend “prestigious” schools was because their money-laundering career criminal father bought them into them.

Hollingsworth, why didn’t you just call up George W. Bush or Donald Trump? (I know you have them on speed dial.) They could tell you how to buy admissions.

The last frame is the most serious. Making “contributions” to DA’s and coincidentally having charges dropped is what the republicans are all about.

Are the wealthiest US universities also the most corrupt, illegally or perhaps more importantly legally? Sure starting to look that way. Regarding the last panel, did Steve Mnuchin happen to make a perfectly legal contribution to Kamala Harris’s Senate election campaign?

There has to be some way of turning this into a partisan attack. Anything with an offensive capacity can be used in a partisan attack if applied properly. I saw it on an episode of Kung Fu.

why would a non-partisan attack be good? Asking for a friend in DC…

This is one reason Congress changed the tax laws so that university endowments are now taxed.

District Attorney Bennett Beagle condemns “illegal bribery,” but seems to condone, by omission, “legal bribery.” I had always thought that bribery itself was illegal, but, by Beagle’s distinguishing “illegal bribery,” he clearly implies the existence of and the condoning of “legal bribery.” It’s not what you do, but how you describe what you do.

But what about Hillary?

Funny HH hadn’t figured out the campaign contribution thing faster. He dhould have had the prosecutor on retainer.

The current higher education scandal points out two glaring problems with the American obsession with a college/university degree.

First, the adage that he who has the dough gets to bake the bread is especially applicable to admissions into our finer institution of higher learning – and always has been. Money and Privilege have always influenced decisions made by universities.

Second, the national preoccupation, – in some cases bordering on neurosis, – that their children must, at all costs, go to the most prestigious schools ( no matter how stupid they are or how turned off by it ), crosses all political lines. Rich Liberals have the same idée fixe about their kids’ success as Rich Conservatives.

And this fixation often begins as early as with getting the little tyke into the right kindergarten.

What Are We Going to Do About the Rich?

Good looking boy.

Who’s his real dad?

I wonder what DDWiz would have to say about this?

The kid is back to looking at his iPhone after he gets his acceptance letter.

That’s the US I know! We just love us some wealthy Gotrocks! They’re so corrupt, and corrupTING, too.
