Here's a conservative cartoonist's take on the whole Russia mess:

I'd like to point out this was back in late-december when this position was much much more justifiable.

Oh, don't worry. Here's his latest take, published 3 days after Comey got Apprenticed:

quote:

Finally, just as I was sitting down to write this on Tuesday, Trump fired the director of the FBI!

All of these events occurred over the course of less than a week. I imagine even cartoonists with typically much higher productivity rates than my own are straining to keep up�at least, those who care to maintain a decent standard of quality for their drawing, writing, and overall ideas.

I already had an old, as-yet-unused gag in my sketchbook which would be an appropriate response to the AHCA. Give me a day or two, and I could probably come up with something good on James Comey�s sacking, acknowledging both how it probably should�ve happened before Trump even took the oath of office, and the suspicious appearance of it happening now, not to mention how weird it�s been watching Republicans and Democrats repeatedly trade places for the last year over whether Comey�s good or bad.

But by then, some other bonkers event or series of events, connected to any of these only by the constant themes of Donald Trump�s general awfulness, and his political opponents� demented ranting about Russia, will have captured everyone�s attention.

A passage I deleted from my previous post noted how I felt many of Trump�s critics have mistaken his massive stupidity, volcanic temper, and extremely short-term thinking for Nixonian calculation or evidence of some grand conspiracy.

He�s not smart, folks. He�s not even wily, as I once speculated. Instead, he�s throwing tantrums. Even without the investigation, Trump was no doubt intimidated by Comey towering over him at 6�8�, and already felt the need to assert his �alpha-dog� status while also punishing a convenient scapegoat for his own numerous failings and insecurities.

I certainly hope Trump�s overreach in this matter results in the appointment of an independent special prosecutor to investigate his steaming diaper of an Administration, and that when he or she turns up some heinous criminal activity which still doesn�t prove Russia interfered in the 2016 election, we�re able to focus on that and do something about it, instead of getting lost in crackpot theories that said prosecutor must be covering something up on orders from Putin.

But I�m not optimistic. After all, if he�s capable of learning anything, Trump�s already learned that bombing some foreigners is an at least temporarily-effective red herring.

if you want to quote out-of-date cultural references, get them right, dammit. It's "I didn't do it, nobody saw me do it, there's no way you can prove anything". I believe "you can't prove anything" is an acceptable alternative from merchandising. this fucker got his words from my cartoons wrong how dare he

And by justifiable, you mean a lot more used by people who said that pointing out Russian interference is a Red Scare to justify a persecution complex.

It really is amazing how much of Trump's term has been about just spitefully rolling back everything good Obama accomplished. It's like John Oliver said, "I wouldn't be surprised if he announced that he personally murdered every turkey Obama pardoned."

I'm personally expecting him to echo Reagan and rip the solar panels off the White House roof again.

Reminder that it's the G7 now and has been for three years ever since Russia got kicked out over Crimea. The phrase "G7" has been repeated so often in the news lately that I'm not sure how you'd even get this one wrong. McCoy is a pseudoliterate ignoramus though.

This really needs a "Men's version", where we can place all the loving trolls that inhabit the Republican base against hot Democratic man-meat.
