Every time I encounter a “MLK was a Republican” post, I’m tempted to say: “You mean there’s an anti-war, pro-union, Planned Parenthood-supporting, UBI-backing, voter rights-advocating version of the GOP? Sign me up!”

Trump just told CBS he doesn't know who Changpeng Zhao is — the cryptocurrency billionaire he pardoned last month with ties to the first family's own crypto venture.

Ah, Halloween. A black cat with white nose, chest and paw looks to its left, facing us with its right paw seemingly pointing forward. He is standing in a green field with a couple of flowers growing. He says, “Don’t listen to those dopes! Herbie, you can trust me– – it was FRANKENSTEIN!“

Also, Trumpistas hate independent Canada and blue California, so they’ll refuse to enjoy the victory.

And I assume the conversation both of you had contained elements of respect.

Waiting for their definition of “foreign” to mean anyone north of the Mason-Dixon Line, south of the Rio Grande, and west of the Pecos.

Au contraire. I believe Trump can both explain and not explain quantum physics.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.

Breaking on MSNBC:

Two federal prosecutors have been placed on leave at the direction of the White House after filing a sentencing memo seeking 27 months in prison for a pardoned Jan. 6 rioter who brought illegal guns and ammunition to President Obama's house in 2023.

The median right-wing pundit when faced with the reality that the country really is sliding into fascism under Trump.

Long ago when I was a young, almost-syndicated cartoonist, I had the pleasure of sitting next to June Lockhart at a dinner in SF and she told me a funny story that I used in one of my early strips. RIP

As an aside: If that Twilight Zone cornfield kid was a Star Trek fan, would he be wishing people into the “Gorn-field”?

Albert Speer was able to redefine neo-classical architecture that way.

It used to be astonishing. Sadly, a lot of us have become inured to it by now.

That's been a notion for years amongst the Right that the military is part of the government but not really.

I've had this suspicion for a while that Trump wanted to be considered the best POTUS, but he'll settle for being the last POTUS.

Is this a good time to let people know that Trump hasn't given up on wanting his face on Mount Rushmore?

The National Trust for Historic Preservation warned that President Trump’s planned 90,000-square-foot ballroom would “overwhelm the White House itself,” which spans just 55,000 square feet. https://wapo.st/4hmL8rC

I sometimes feel the White House has too many courtly trappings as it is to be a truly small-r republican executive headquarters. My chief complaint is that the current occupant of 1600 Pennsylvania is treating the place like it's another Trump property for him to do what he damn well pleases to it
