"If they can't afford plywood, some owners rebuild the store out of straw. That's when the big bad wolf comes in. Very bad guy. Radical leftist wolf. Vice-president of antifa. He comes over and he, he just blows the stores down. That's not normal. Maybe he got that way from being vaccinated."

Trump: "Portland, I mean -- every time I look at that place it's burning down. There are fires all over the place. When a store -- there are very few of them left -- but when a store owner rebuilds a store they build it out of plywood. They don't put up storefronts anymore. They just put wood up."

Don't forget to fill out your W-2 forms so you'll get paid on time, and indicate whether you prefer rubles or yuan.

Pot Pourri is French. It means we're talking about Spanish and a buncha other stuff. Come join Jimmy Margulies, Kirk Walters, Lalo Alcaraz, Lisa Benson, Michael Ramirez, Mike Luckovich, Morten Morland, Pat Byrnes & Paul Fell

We’ll start with an obvious news story that tells a lot about the depths to which we have plunged. As Alcaraz notes, this year’s Super Bowl gains a special regional flavor as the halftime show feature...

A meeting of the schmucks.

I'm sure they sit around holding up their decision until the last minute, just in case somebody does something really peaceful two days before the announcement.

If only some lazy slacker's corrupt racist daddy hadn't bailed him out of the draft with a phony letter from a tenant who never examining the sniveling coward, we'd have won!

I wonder what outlandish promise was made to Thune that made him drop to his knees and kiss the ring. Yo! John! He's not gonna keep that one, either!

Wapo. Hit with a block and a "please come back" popup. I ain't comin' back.

I hate to be obvious, but I'm not a subscriber. Are you?

Nobody minds an honest debate. Sure would be nice to try one. Come join Chip Bok, Dana Summers, David Horsey, Lisa Benson, Mike Smith, Nick Anderson & Steve Kelley
www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/20...

A bit of a gentle start, since things may get a little rough before we’d done. Granted, Horsey makes Russ Vought look like a mad scientist, offering America a trip in his time machine. But it could be...

Swell paywall. If it mattered to you that people read it, why not use a gift? And if it didn't, why bother?

I can tell you what's worse: Washington. You don't even have intelligent leadership anymore. They'll put an ass up. They put morons in their White House.

Happy Hump Day. Take a break from doom and have some laffs, along with Arlo & Janis, Betty, Daddy's Home, Day by Dave, Flying McCoys, Moderately Confused, Non Sequitur, Prickly City & the Duplex

I’m going to assume that National Mall Walking Day began in the early 80s, since it requires the kind of enclosed shopping mall that was around in those days, but was somewhat rare before and is all b...

We're being guided by spin, disinformation and blatant lies. Come examine the evidence, with Clay Bennett, Clay Jones, David Rowe, Gary Huck, Jeff Stahler, John Deering, Mike Luckovich, Pat Bagley & RJ Matson
www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/20...

It’s not this simple. As Bennett suggests, both sides are getting talking points out of the government shutdown. However, it’s unclear how much each side benefits or is damaged by the situation, in pa...

Given how ignorant Wharton's Finest Honor Student is about basic economics, I don't know if he plans to place tariffs of trucks being offered for sale here or on trucks that cross the border to make deliveries. Admittedly, the latter interpretation is idiotic, but, then again ...

We’ll start with a cartoon from Australia that suggests two responses from up here: One is “Glad we could amuse you,” since we have to live with the chaos she depicts. But that draws a second response...
