"Trump Is For Lovers"

Quote

You know Russia isn’t doing well in its war with Ukraine when it has to grovel to North Korea for ammunition. This is another sign that Putin underestimated Ukraine when he illegally invaded that sovereign nation. Who starts a war knowing he’s going to run out of soldiers and bullets?

Russia has hired mercenaries to help fight its illegal war and has also thrown in prisoners who have had very little training. According to reports, the prisoners would rather return to a Russian gulag than have to fight Ukraine. For many, it’s a death sentence. And the leader of the mercenary group turned on Putin, so he had him killed.

So now Putin is seeking arms from North Korea, mostly artillery shells and anti-tank missiles, and you may think it’s a great resource since they have nuclear weapons. Not so much.

North Korea is a nuclear power, but a shoddy nuclear power. That nation is still developing its missile technology to deliver its nuclear weapons. As for the rest of its military, it’s falling apart. Soldiers go unfed. Its Navy doesn’t have a single ship that’s capable of traveling coast to coast around the Korean peninsula. While Kim is spending millions or even billions on his nuclear technology, his people are starving. They’re so hungry, that many of them would consider eating an Air Koryo cheeseburger. More on that in a minute.

And how much of its arsenal is Kim willing to give to Putin? The guy is still paranoid he’ll be invaded by South Korea and the USA any day now. The North’s military is double the size of the South’s, with over a million soldiers to South Korea’s 500,000. But North Korea is only able to spend around $4 billion a year on its military, which is 26 percent of its GDP, while South Korea spends around $44 billion on theirs which is less than three percent of its GDP. If these two nations go to war, North Korea’s going to be fighting with a lot of hungry skinny soldiers. Most of them may use the war to defect to the South. So I don’t see Kim giving Putin a huge percentage of his arsenal. And what state will that ammunition be in?

And have you seen a photo of Kim’s daughter? She does not look like one of the millions of North Koreans who are starving.

Kim is reportedly interested in attaining technology from Russia that will help North Korea establish a presence in space, but this guy couldn’t even fly to meet Putin. He had to take a train. Kim also had to take his personal train when he visited Trump in Singapore and Vietnam. I wonder if, at this moment, Trump feels like Putin and Kim are cheating on him.

North Korea has a state-owned airline which Kim could have taken to Vladivostok, one of the airline’s few destinations (and from there, maybe drive to Vostochny, where the summit was held), but would you want to fly Air North Korea? But at least he could have gotten the legendarily bad Air Koryo cheeseburger. Scientists have traveled to the most isolated country on the planet just to figure out what the hell this thing is. From reports, it’s worse than eating a cheeseburger from 7-11 on Spirit Airlines. I too would rather take a train than fly on Air Koryo, even after that Sloop John B train ride from Hell I took from Fredericksburg to Miami and back. Amtrak’s cheeseburgers have to be better than Air Koryo’s right? At least Amtrak serves alcohol, which you will need if you’re going to travel long distances.

Russia and North Korea are both heavily sanctioned nations, and both will incur more sanctions if they start trading weapons for science. The West and South Korea have implored Kim not to give Putin more weapons to kill innocent civilians in Ukraine, but Kim doesn’t even care about murdering innocent civilians in North Korea. Even Kim’s sister, Kim Yo-Jong, his closest confidante, looks a little malnourished and could probably use a sandwich. Just stay away from that Air Koryo cheeseburger, Yo.

These two nations, and maybe along with Iran and Belarus, are forming a true axis of evil. This is another reason to keep Donald Trump from regaining the presidency (sic) because we don’t want to join them.

Creative note: I decided to use Trump’s actual mugshot photo again instead of drawing it because I think too much time has passed since his fourth arrest, and I wasn’t sure if readers would recognize my drawing of it at this time as the mugshot.

"Bobo Bobo Bobo"

Quote

Lauren Boebert, the dumbest stupidest most ignorant person in the House of Representatives was kicked out…of a theater. Darn it. I know. You were hoping she was kicked out of Congress. Unfortunately, being a yeehaw fucknut dumbass racist isn’t grounds to be removed from Congress.

What happened was… Bobo went to see the musical Beetlejuice at a theater in Denver. Yes, the musical is based on the movie, and if you had to ask, you’re still not as dumb as Boebert. But during the play, the 36-year-old anti-birth control and anti-sex education grandmother was accused of vaping, singing, recording the show, and being disruptive during the performance.

The incident report says the patrons were issued a warning during intermission after three complaints were made by other patrons about their behavior. Surveillance footage shows Boebert and an unidentified man being escorted from their seats with Boebert arguing with an usher while giving him the finger that says he’s number one.

While being escorted out, Boebert howled “Do you know who I am?” and “I will be contacting the mayor.” Hopefully, the mayor responds by telling her she’s number one.

That’s serious white privilege Karen shit right there, “Do you know who I am?”. Hopefully, Bobo’s voters are now starting to know who she is, just how dumb she is, and that she’s a major laughingstock for them, and kick her out of Congress in 2024. She barely retained her seat in 2020. I bet Boebert is the kind of person who goes to the movies and complains about how loud Black people are.

Boebert’s campaign manager confirmed she was kicked out and said in a statement, “I can confirm the stunning and salacious rumors: in her personal time, Congresswoman Lauren Boebert is indeed a supporter of the performing arts (gasp!) and, to the dismay of a select few, enthusiastically enjoyed a weekend performance of Beetlejuice.”

He denied that Boebert was vaping during Beetlejuice, saying that heavy fog machines and electronic cigarettes were used during the show, so there might have been “a misunderstanding from someone sitting near her.” Yeah, a misunderstanding from multiple people near her. She probably blames her farts on dogs.

I wasn’t sitting next to her but I was annoyed and irritated by her from all the way here in Virginia.

Here’s the thing, kids. Boebert is a rude person on social media. She’s rude, ignorant, stupid, and entitled. She’s heckled one of her colleagues in an elevator once. She promotes lies and conspiracy theories. She’s a bigot. She supported the white nationalist insurrection and even tweeted during it to guide the terrorists to Nancy Pelosi’s location. She even copies off other racist stupid MAGA goons in the House. Even Marjorie Taylor Greene has called her a “bitch.” That’s not my word for her, that’s from one of her MAGAt female colleagues. She is a horrible vile rancid ignorant and stupid person. So it’s very easy to believe she’s guilty of all the accusations from the Beetlejuice performance. If you told me she was in the theater grilling sardines, I would believe you.

Boebert has been arrested multiple times and once claimed during one of her “illegal arrests” that she had “friends” at Fox News.

Boebert’s mother accused Stan Lane, a professional wrestler of being Bobo’s father, and not wanting any of that shit, he took TWO paternity tests to prove he wasn’t. One of these tests was earlier this year. Remember, wrestling is fake but he didn’t want people to believe he was Boebert’s father. Sergeant Slaughter once portrayed a traitor to the United States and ally to Saddam Hussien during the Gulf War, but portraying Boebert’s father would probably be too low for him.

The Buell Theater, the venue hosting the musical, cautioned that it “contains strong language, mature references, and a lot of the crazy, inappropriate stuff you would expect from a deranged demon.” And don’t get them started on Beetlejuice.

Creative note: I started this morning with the intention of doing a cartoon on either McCarthy’s call to impeach President Biden or Kim/Putin meeting, two much more serious subjects. But I love Beetlejuice and when this idea hit, I had to do it even knowing it’s possible, maybe probably, that someone else will do the same idea. But I knew my readers would react to this as I already had a couple tell me they wanted to see me do something on this. Hey, say “Claytoonz” three times, and maybe I’ll draw on the subject you’re requesting.

Also, George Santos has already been drafted for the position.

Oh fornicate. I was just coming here to post that one myself.  It’s a totally representation of Qevin too.

"The Big Guy"

Quote

In 1996, you couldn’t go anywhere without hearing Alanis Morrisette’s song Ironic. It was huge. It was the third single released from her blockbuster album Jagged Little Pill. The song went Gold and remains Morrisette’s highest-charting song. It won a Juno Award and received two Grammy nominations. The video for the song was nominated for six MTV Music Video Awards, winning three. The video is also included in VH1’s Greatest Music Videos. It remains on her concert setlist to this day. It’s poppy and catchy. She belts the chorus out like an anthem. For many people, it is their anthem from the 90s. It’s just one of several amazing songs on an amazing album. The only problem with Ironic is that none of the situations described in the lyrics are actually ironic.

An old man wins the lottery and dies the next day, there’s a black fly in your Chardonnay, a man afraid of flying is in a plane crash on his first flight, it rains on a wedding day, meeting someone you like then meeting his spouse…none of this ironic. It’s all bad luck or poor timing. The only line in the song that is ironic is “It’s like ten thousand spoons when all you need is a knife.” I was reminded of this song by a Bob Gorrell cartoon.

A lot of MAGAt goon cartoonists have been claiming there’s enough evidence to impeach President Joe Biden over corruption. The only problem for goon cartoonists like Bob, Steve Kelley, Dick Wright, Tom Stiglich, sippy cup-thief Branco, and many stupid others is that there’s ZERO evidence that President Biden is corrupt. None, nada, zilch, zero. None. But just like Republicans in the House and on Fox News, the lack of evidence doesn’t stop them from claiming there’s evidence. And, it’s working because a recent poll shows that a majority of Americans believe President Biden did something corrupt despite there not being any evidence of it. Who needs evidence when you can just make a lot of noise?

What Bob, who’s a cartoonist who rarely actually draws, did that made me think of Alanis (which is kind of weird because she’s awesome, intelligent, creative, unique, and original and Bob is none of those things) is a cartoon he drew listing all the “evidence” except none of the evidence he lists….I’m going to shout now…IS FUCKING EVIDENCE!!!!

In the cartoon, Bob has pasted a donkey he drew many years ago and has since repurposed a gazillion times, saying, “Okay, but where’s the evidence?” Behind the donkey, is a bunch of words that are supposed to be evidence.

Bob lists “evidence” like Hunter’s laptop. Nope. That’s not evidence, Bob. Despite all the shouting about Hunter’s laptop, there’s nothing on there that implicates President Biden in a crime. In fact, there’s nothing on the laptop that implicates Hunter in a crime. Bob also forgets the laptop was in MAGAt hands before anyone else saw it which means it would be inadmissible as evidence.

Bob lists “ten percent for the Big Guy” as evidence, which is something on the laptop. But again, this isn’t evidence. It’s assumed that the “Big Guy” is Biden and in an email, one of Hunter’s business partners is proposing to give ten percent of a business deal in China to Biden. But, the deal was rejected. We don’t know for sure who the “Big Guy” actually is, and this was in 2017, when Joe Biden wasn’t in office. Even if this is true, that there was “ten percent for the ‘Big Guy'” and the business deal wasn’t rejected and had succeeded, it still wouldn’t be evidence of a crime. Fun fact: doing foreign business is NOT illegal. Republicans don’t seem to have any issues with Donald Trump doing business with China and the Saudis.

Bob mentions shell companies. Again, nothing connected to Joe Biden. He mentions Burisma, which has been debunked. Bob mentions firing the Ukrainian prosecutor but forgets that the prosecutor never investigated Burisma or Hunter Biden. Bob added “allegations” to the list which is crazy because allegations are NOT evidence.

And that’s all the IRS Whistleblowers had that Bob mentions, allegations. And, they didn’t allege any crimes were committed by President Biden.

Bob also mentions Devon Archer, a former business partner of Hunter’s who testified before Congress. The thing is, Archer debunked allegations that Joe Biden had any involvement in Hunter’s businesses. So Bob is either very stupid or is being dishonest. Remember, loud noises over facts.

If you want evidence of someone taking bribes, then look at Texas where the state legislature is weighing whether or not to impeach Attorney General Ken Paxton…for taking bribes. Guess who’s defending him. Ted Cruz and Donald Trump which must mean that they’re OK with government officials taking bribes, or maybe they’re just OK with Republicans taking bribes.

The only reason Republicans actually have to impeach President Joe Biden is for revenge. Don’t take my work for it. Take Donald Trump’s. It’s been reported that not only has Trump been talking to members of the Goon (Freedom) Caucus about impeaching Biden, but he suggested revenge was the main factor in an interview with Megan Kelly two days ago.

Talking about the impeachment inquiry against Biden, Trump told Kelly, “They did it to me. And had they not done it to me, I think, and nobody officially said this, but I think had they not done it to me … perhaps you wouldn’t have it being done to them.” For the record, when it was done to Trump, there was plenty of evidence both times.

Alanis Morrisette knows Ironic isn’t ironic. She has parodied her own song on a late-night talk show, exhibiting a sense of humor, and making fun of herself. She is very self-aware. Bob Gorrell is not. While Alanis knows her song Ironic doesn’t contain any real irony (except for that spoon thing), Bob doesn’t seem aware that his Evidence cartoon doesn’t contain any actual evidence.

Now, is it ironic that MAGAts ignored and defended Trump from trying to steal an election he lost, setting up fake electors, demanding a state election official to “find” him votes, ordering a white nationalist insurrection, stealing classified documents, obstructing justice, and extorting a foreign leader with military aid, among other crimes while going after President Biden on flimsy allegations?

No, it’s not ironic at all. It’s just hypocritical.
