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!

Mike Peterson @csotd.bsky.social · 1d

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

CSotD: Government by Whopper

Mike Peterson @csotd.bsky.social · 1d

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.

CSotD: Hump Day Morning Coming Down

Mike Peterson @csotd.bsky.social · 2d

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...

CSotD: Land of (Intentional) Confusion

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 ...

The whole world is watching (to see what we'll do). Come join Adam Zyglis, Ann Telnaes, Barry Blitt, Bill Bramhall, Drew Sheneman, Fiona Katauskas, Gary Huck, Marc Murphy, Pat Bagley, Randy Bish & Ted Rall
www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/20...

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...

Rufus Thomas - Walkin' the Dog [Sunday Night Live - 1989]

Mike Peterson @csotd.bsky.social · 5d

A friend showed up a day early for a stress test but asked if they could test him anyway. He coded and wound up with five stents.

When I told my son, who works trauma, he said if someone complains of chest pains, he tells them to quit eating Doritos. But if they say "I feel funny," he hooks'em up.

Arctic Circle makes a point that has long bedeviled me, because I don’t live on the seaside. I also don’t toss away a lot of plastic, though I realize much that goes into recycling bins winds up not b...

A shutdown of common decency as well as of government. Come join AF Branco, Clay Jones, Daniel Boris, Dick Wright, Matt Davies, Max Espinoza, Michael Ramirez, Mike Konopacki & Phil Hands
www.dailycartoonist.com/index.php/20...

Jones is often provocative, slinging purposeful insults, but generally backed by an intelligent political argument. This isn’t a particularly polite cartoon, but he addresses a critical question and, ...

Poor people need more money so they won't be poor. What a breakthrough! And I thought these guys were idiots!
