Noem, Nazis and the imperial president.

This cartoon depicts a woman returning home as she walks through her front door holding a &ldquo;No Kings Rally&rdquo; sign. She speaks to her husband, who is watching television and says &ldquo;I think he got the message.&rdquo; The husband looks at the TV screen headline that reads, &ldquo;White House demolition begins for king-size grand ballroom&rdquo; and shows Donald Trump driving a bulldozer destroying part of the White House. The husband says, &ldquo;Yeah, about that&hellip;&rdquo;

On the left, this political cartoon depicts a person in a frog costume holding a sign that reads, &ldquo;Frogs against facism.&rdquo; A caricature of Kristi Noem is at right. She holds an automatic rifle and is dressed in a cowboy hat, short shorts, military vest, and cowboy boots. She has large red lips and earrings. She says, &ldquo;By the way, your inflatable frog costume is ridiculous!&rdquo;

This cartoon takes place outside where a lion and an animal with antlers warily watch a large elephant. The elephant is goose-stepping and has an Adolf Hitler mustache. The lion says, &ldquo;Young Republican.&rdquo;

This cartoon takes place at the front door of a house where a little girl has just answered the door. The comical figure at the door is a poorly-disguised group of men standing on each other&rsquo;s shoulders with a trenchcoat, hat, fake mustache and glasses. They hold a clipboard and say, &ldquo;Greetings resident offspring! We are merely a concerned citizen collecting signatures!&rdquo; The little girl points at the figure and says, &ldquo;Mom! It&rsquo;s Republicans trying to pull another fast one with the redistricting maps!&rdquo; The little girl&rsquo;s dog growls at the figure.

This is a two-panel political cartoon titled &ldquo;Attire for defeating fascism.&rdquo; The left panel is dated 1945 and displays a typical American soldier from World War II. The right panel is dated 2025 and depicts a person in a frog costume.

This cartoon depicts Donald Trump in a bulldozer destroying part of the White House that is labeled &ldquo;America.&rdquo; He says, &ldquo;When you&rsquo;re a star, they let you do it! You can do anything!&rdquo;

This editorial cartoon takes place in a spooky farm at night, where a headless horseman carries a flaming pumpkin labeled &ldquo;Tariffs&rdquo; at left. On the right side of the image, another man and a horse labeled &ldquo;Sock Market&rdquo; are terrified by the sight.

This cartoon is set on a city sidewalk where a man with a briefcase walks by a storefront labeled &ldquo;Investments.&rdquo; The sign in the window of the store reads, "Worried about the future? We have worst-case scenario funds!&rdquo;

To the GOP sycophants, Trump is not a king, he's a god.

A segment from the Daily Show in which Jon Stewart reviews grievances listed in the Declaration of
Independence, plays back GOP sycophants calling Trump a miracle worker and a god, and closes with a
game show: "Who said this, Donald J Trump or Jesus H Christ?"

MAGA nation

In this cartoon, a car drives down the road toward a beautiful rainbow in the distance. A voice from the car says, &ldquo;Look, mommy. A rainbow!&rdquo; A voice responds, &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t look! Roadway rainbows are no longer allowed in Texas.&rdquo;

This editorial cartoon depicts the Supreme Court building, a classical structure with Roman-style columns. The writing across the top reads, &ldquo;U.S. Supine Court.&rdquo;

This political cartoon depicts Donald Trump dressed as a Mussolini-style dictator, speaking to a group of men and women, some in suits and some in traditional Arab clothing. He says, &ldquo;As we all know &mdash; we are here for phase one of my peace plan: making sure I win the Noble Peace Prize in 2026.&rdquo;

In this cartoon, Pam Bondi has climbed a tree and hangs from a branch having just escaped a pack of wild, snarling dogs at the base of the tree. She says, &ldquo;I just told them to go after anyone who weaponized the Justice Department.&rdquo;

Not your government? Didn't vote for the jerk? Neither did I. In fact, I couldn't even sit through the first episode of "The Apprentice."

Are you ready for Trump's police state?

Let's be clear about this. A president who orders troops into cities and states over the objection of the officials and majority of the citizens of those cities and states is nothing more than a dictator, or dictator wannabe. It should come as no surprise that this president, according to his first wife, in an interview published in 1990 in Vanity Fair, kept a copy of Hitler's speeches at his bedside. (My New Order, not Mein Kampf). Reference. https://www.businessinsider.com/donald-trumps-ex-wife-once-said-he-kept-a-book-of-hitlers-speeches-by-his-bed-2015-8?op=1

There has been a lot of talk lately from Democrats about removing Trump from office using the 25th amendment, on the grounds that he is mentally incompetent. Won't happen. Under the amendment, the only people who can remove the President are the Vice President and the Cabinet. There is no chance that these sycophants will do that.
