    Pan out? Further proof that this president is only in it for the money.

  2. Fist of Etiquette   9 years ago

    Am I the only one concerned that our current president spoke openly about destroying our precious wetlands?

    1. plusafdotcom   9 years ago

      No, that was about not protecting teacup sized puddles classified as 'navigable waters' by the EPA...

  3. Fist of Etiquette   9 years ago

    So in that Netflix show Frankie and Grace Jane Fonda and Lilly Tomlin are crossdressing furries in the Everglades?

  4. Libertarian   9 years ago

    Needs label/arrow: "HOT Air Boat"

    Also, shouldn't Ryan be the one in the driver's seat?

    1. Fist of Etiquette   9 years ago

      You should be more concerned that crocodile's tail knocked the scoop off the president's transparent ice cream cone.

  5. Will4Freedom   9 years ago

    As you can plainly see, there is no engine or propeller on the boat. It's not going anywhere. And the ones willing to row (Freedom Caucus) aren't even in the boat.

    I think Bok nailed it this week. Congrats, Sir.

  6. Libertarian   9 years ago

    Mr. Bok came THIS close to adding a layer of intellectual complexity to this cartoon; but in the end, he failed to use dollar signs to represent the reflections in the capitol dome's windows.

  7. Libertarian   9 years ago

    "There's Pelosi in the bushes, she's calling my name."

  8. Will4Freedom   9 years ago

    I was going to knock Bok for not drawing in a few obligatory cat tails, but it is still a bit early in the season. Would have been a nice touch, though.

    Your Friday Facepalm

    In 2015, the New York Times reported on a curious plaque that had been erected between the 14th and 15th holes of Trump's newly renovated golf course in Virginia, with the following message inscribed:

    Many great American soldiers, both of the North and South, died at this spot. The casualties were so great that the water would turn red and thus became known as 'The River of Blood." It is my great honor to have preserved this important section of the Potomac River! -Donald John Trump

    After historians pointed out that there had been no such Civil War battles at that location, Trump pushed back.
    "How would they know that?" Trump asked a Times reporter then. "Were they there?"
    He finally told the same reporter: "Write your story the way you want to write it. ... You don't have to talk to anybody. It doesn't make any difference. But many people were shot. It makes sense."

    B-b-b-b-but not Hillary!

      Why?

      Why do you have to sully a perfectly good roast of a half-way decent Bok scribble with your insipid, non-germane bullshit.

      Why not go post at DailyKos or DonkUnderground where your vomitings will be met with masturbatory praise and ululations?

      1. Libertarian   9 years ago

        "masturbatory praise and ululations"

        If I were the head of a band, this would be the title of our next album.

      2. DanO.   9 years ago

        Why not go post at DailyKos or DonkUnderground

        Hahahaha! Perfect!

    2. Will4Freedom   9 years ago

      As a reluctant Trump voter, I could care less about the stupid stuff he says or tweets. Thank Odin, Not Hillary!

      1. DanO.   9 years ago

        As a reluctant Trump voter, I could care less

        I know. I know. Two Cheetos in the same bag.
