Cognishly umpired Puppet of Putin.

It's like Doonesbury "Reagan's Brain" 1980, but more literal this time around.

Lol, it's so trooo, so troee, tru, I mean TRUE !

Now I'm not so sure about the funny part. Doonesbury is a treasure.

But yes, Doonesbury is most certainly true. Not even good satire when it comes to Trump, just true.

cell in hell planned for Gary Trudeau before he has him Navalnied.

TSF, are always censored in The Pittsburgh Post-Gazette for an older strip

We wouldn't want the people to notice that the emperor has no clothes, would we?

They do the ballot so powerfully!

Left out the first two panels.

Right leaning paper

he magically turned classified documents into a pile of old papers in the bathroom at Mar a Lago. I think he crossed his arms and blinked.

His weird use of the words "strongly" and "powerfully" is spot on. He does sarcasm "strongly". They do the ballot so "powerfully".

And the way he garbles normal words! "Normalize dimension"! This strip is priceless.

What is it with the adverbs, I wonder?

more literate than he actually is? His use of the word "beautiful" is especially bizarre. It is such a basic, simple word and he applies it in the oddest ways.

- Beautiful sleeping gas
- Beautiful border wall
- Beautiful piece of chocolate cake
- Beautiful new healthcare bill
- Beautiful (confederate) statues
- Beautiful military equipment
- Beautiful clean coal
- Beautiful temperament (his of course)
- Beautiful tax dollars
- Beautiful phones (the phones in the White House)

Apparently, he has such a limited vocabulary, he uses a handful of adjectives and adverbs over and over again, often in meaningless ways.

…as in the perfect phone calls to Raffenberger and Zelenskyy.

When he uses the word "perfect" it usually means he is confessing to something that he knows is a crime.

I think a lot of words he uses are throwbacks to something in his childhood. When he calls someone a "disgrace", I am quite sure a parent or teacher must have called him that frequently as a child.

I think "perfect" somehow has some childhood significance as well - schoolwork, test results, cleaning his room? He has to be the most insecure man on the planet, not to mention very transparent.

Like you said, he uses a word like beautiful over and over again, because he doesn't know that many others.

I think it also accounts for some of the weird adverbs, like strongly (which I don't believe I have ever encountered anywhere outside of the utterances of TSF). I strongly suspect that he just stuck -ly onto strong one day to convey something he didn't have an actual word for, and he liked it so much that it became a word he uses habitually (like beautiful).

It would drive me crazy to have such a limited vocabulary, but it doesn't bother him. Thanks to his narcissism, he believes he has the "best words," and will always disregard any evidence to the contrary!

The fact that he brags that he knows the "best words" is an admission that he knows he has a very limited vocabulary.

Another time he used "strong" and "powerful" in a very odd way was in Helsinki in 2018. When asked if he believed U.S. intelligence regarding Putin's interference in the 2016 election, he answered, "I don't see any reason why it would be. President Putin was extremely strong and powerful in his denial today."

There are so many ways to describe a person's denial - vehement, emphatic, consistent, steadfast, etc. Strong and powerful sounded more like Trump's description of Putin the man and maybe an excuse for why he chose the Russian leader over his own intelligence community.

They'll have to name an entire group of mental health disorders after Trump, it will require an entire chapter of the 'Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders.'

Thinking of all the traitors sitting in Congress.

Thank you.

Trudeau has to agree to this and my take is that those first two panels are intended to be discarded if necessary. They aren’t essential to the overall understanding of the piece. This has been done for years.

Not a documentary.

As I have asked for so many decades

It's impossible for him to ever acknowledge any mistakes

Should be required reading
