I had the same reaction. It seemed "untethered to reality," a phrase District Judge Karin Immergut put it, to describe President Trump's order for National Guard troops in Portland.
You misspelled the judge's name, and "Demshevicks" is a fictitious, made-up name. You did both deliberately, I presume, to make a point and to have fun with the folks on this website.
I hope readers appreciate your intent and do not respond with an attack on you for doing what Trump does - making up names and other things to have his own self-serving fun with people at their expense.
The person you describe as a "TRUMP TROLL" is too highly educated, sophisticated, and has published and taught too much to be a person with time to fool around doing stupid things such as being a troll here or anywhere else.
I can speculate with near certainty as to why he is here, but I prefer to keep that to myself for now.
My suggestion is to pay attention to what he says, keep an open mind. Avoid attacking him or calling him names. To do so would be a non-productive "Trumpian" approach. Hopefully, we are better than that here.
When you look at the nicknames invented for the Donald himself, turnabout is fair play.
And “Nimmergut” is “zu gut” to gloss over.
I wish the Donald bloody well WOULD formally invoke the Insurrection Act and arrest these jurisdiction-lacking shyster judges, following Lincoln’s approach.
The resulting ripple effect would be most welcome in England, too.
You guys are mostly dish -it-out-but-can’t-take-it, as Tampon Tim is proving himself to be.
So, your response to the stimulus set before you is that you don't respond to the stimulus set before you. Maybe it's because you didn't look at it closely enough. Did you happen to notice that the arrows don't complete the cycle back to the first block? The last block is for what someone having heard what's in the rest of the blocks had to say about it all. A joke about his insecurity concerning his member is a common trope and completely relevant to the rest of the cartoon. Art and humor are like that. That's a long chalk from the unhinged reasoning that wanker in charge of the country relies on to justify mobilizing military action in service to an attempt to conquer and rule both the US citizenry and the rest of the world.
John--It deals with the absurdity of Trump. Two guys sitting in a car befuddled by all the crap that's going on in Washington and one turns to the other and try's to shed a little humor on the subject--it could happen.
Actually, they are in a plane, not a car. Two yokes instead of one steering wheel, and engines outside the body of the plane -- not headlights. So, what might the Captain be ordering the co-pilot to do?
Donald . . . DON'T YOU DARE REMOVE IT! LIKE I COMMENTED A BIT AGO, IT PROVIDED ME AND 80+ OTHER PEOPLE WITH A HUGE LAUGH! Who cares what O'Sullivan thinks???
Donald, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT -- TOO, TOO FUNNY!!! (I refer to him as the "Demented Yam," both for his hideously fractured mental condition and his pathetic, unmanly use of bronze makeup!)
To the best of my understanding, the murder of people, anyone, on the high seas, unless those people are subjecting you to their own “kinetic strikes” is illegal under any law. It does not matter if those people are smuggling drugs, even to the United States, murdering people because you want to is murder. Why don’t we all just tell it like it is, in fact, shout it from the rooftops? I have a hard time believing that even MAGA types condone murder. At least I hope not. The MAGA base may believe whatever the orange organism tells them, but we don’t and we must not. All those sycophants today and the last few days try to pin this on the fact that the “narco terrorists” are threatening the security of the United States. Bulls**t. To the best of my knowledge, these boats are at least a 1,000 nautical miles from US shores. No can tell me there is not sufficient time to intercept those boats, seize the drugs, if there are drugs on board, and imprison the crew, if there are drugs. The designation as a terrorist organization does not change the dynamics. Murder is still not allowed. This is one of the clearest cases of inhumanity to date and we, as Americans, are, I hope, better than this. To say the least, this is disturbing.
HM, yes, it's unbelievable what Trump is doing AND that Congress has let him get away with it so far!!! WHAT KIND OF PEOPLE LIVE ON THIS PLANET, ANYWAY??? Certainly a bunch of cowards, letting the demented yam make them fearful! I wish bin Salman would come back to visit and bring his chop-job team with him the next time!!! Trump is due for his own KILLING!
Cheri, do you mean that the Supreme Court is condoning, backing, supporting Trump in these murders?? Horrible, isn't it ...? They sure "stepped in it" when they granted Trump "immunity" for all "official" acts. I heard a discussion about this just over the past couple days . . . on some NPR program . . .wish I could remember where. I was only half-listening. The gist of it was that they are all White Nationalist "Christians," and their aim is to bring America back to the days of white nationalism -- and Christian worship -- and before Civil Rights took hold, and even before the 19th Amendment was passed!! (Lord God Almighty, what kind of wives do these pathetic losers have???) They all need to be arrested and sent to federal prison for the rest of their days! Not to mention impeached immediately!!
Yes! The Supreme Court is a joke. Makes me wonder how many of them were also involved with Epstein and Maxwell. Trump has something over them I believe. Not all of them, but most likely Thomas, Alito and Roberts. The Constitution is not being respected or upheld by this Court. Indeed, they need to be impeached and perhaps sent to Alligator Alcatraz.
Wow -- best idea I've heard yet!!! Yes, when the SC went rogue, beginning with Citizens United on to granting Trump immunity for his every act, to me it was shocking beyond belief.
Trump's a potato with a penis--A dick-tator.
Please enlighten me: What on earth does that caption have to do with the cartoon? Hmmmm?
it's the game of Telephone. Imperfect data transmission over multiple iterations.
I was thinking the old circle around the campfire game. Add a like!
I had the same reaction. It seemed "untethered to reality," a phrase District Judge Karin Immergut put it, to describe President Trump's order for National Guard troops in Portland.
Judge Nimmergut was actually describing the Demsheviks.
You misspelled the judge's name, and "Demshevicks" is a fictitious, made-up name. You did both deliberately, I presume, to make a point and to have fun with the folks on this website.
I hope readers appreciate your intent and do not respond with an attack on you for doing what Trump does - making up names and other things to have his own self-serving fun with people at their expense.
Dr. BLOXOM, WHY ARE YOU DEFENDING TRUMP AND/OR THIS TRUMP TROLL??
The person you describe as a "TRUMP TROLL" is too highly educated, sophisticated, and has published and taught too much to be a person with time to fool around doing stupid things such as being a troll here or anywhere else.
I can speculate with near certainty as to why he is here, but I prefer to keep that to myself for now.
My suggestion is to pay attention to what he says, keep an open mind. Avoid attacking him or calling him names. To do so would be a non-productive "Trumpian" approach. Hopefully, we are better than that here.
Doubtful. Nobody quite as cruel and malicious as trump and his gang members.
When you look at the nicknames invented for the Donald himself, turnabout is fair play.
And “Nimmergut” is “zu gut” to gloss over.
I wish the Donald bloody well WOULD formally invoke the Insurrection Act and arrest these jurisdiction-lacking shyster judges, following Lincoln’s approach.
The resulting ripple effect would be most welcome in England, too.
You guys are mostly dish -it-out-but-can’t-take-it, as Tampon Tim is proving himself to be.
You speak with a forked tongue in saying "Nimmergut" is zu gut to gloss over.
The opposite is true: Nimmergut should not merely be glossed over; it's a word that never should have been used in the first place.
So, your response to the stimulus set before you is that you don't respond to the stimulus set before you. Maybe it's because you didn't look at it closely enough. Did you happen to notice that the arrows don't complete the cycle back to the first block? The last block is for what someone having heard what's in the rest of the blocks had to say about it all.

That is my take. But it's the co-pilot talking(?). I threw in a "Miracle on the Hudson" reference, what the heck.....
Keep flying!!!!!!
I don't know, John, but me and 80 other people so far have loved it! What we definitely need right now is some HUMOR INJECTED INTO OUR LIVES!
Sorry. Not funny.
Gosh, you are dour and pathetic!
What do you think I’ve been trying to do???
They’re all bloodsuckers
Like Kate
John--If it really bothers you and others I'll remove it.
Donald . . . DON'T YOU DARE REMOVE IT! LIKE I COMMENTED A BIT AGO, IT PROVIDED ME AND 80+ OTHER PEOPLE WITH A HUGE LAUGH! Who cares what O'Sullivan thinks???
"Same as always... If we follow orders, they'll deny culpability."
Clearly, they done fucked up and down the line again!
And he's got his "tiny Johnson" stuck in the House, too!
Donald, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT, LOVE IT -- TOO, TOO FUNNY!!! (I refer to him as the "Demented Yam," both for his hideously fractured mental condition and his pathetic, unmanly use of bronze makeup!)
That joke goes back to Abraham Lincoln's time.
Martha--I'm old
I mold two
Donald, you are always too funny!
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Yet, Little Mikey No-johnson and KKKarolyin' Leavitt have been unable to find the little thing... they've found there is no valid intel.
Thusly, he's a dick(less)-tater...
Trump wants the Caribbean because of the "golf" stream.
The murderer is calling from inside the house!
Russwin--Black Christmas.
RUSSWIN, AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH!!! (Sadly, daily!!!)
Very clever 😂❤️
And Venezuela's oil.
Chill every single one of those southern druggers.
You got this one! Well done, Carol!
“Should I put that in writing, sir, or just on your indictment?”
"Well, are they mother fuckers or shipwrecked shits?"
Spill every one of those cluster busters!
You've got it as well!
“Thrill every one of those oyster shuckers!”
Grill every one of those justice duckers!
Trump says he's gonna thrill all your Mother's lovers.
I think this one should have gotten the top prize.
Let’s leave it blank. This is no joke. And there’s nothing funny anyone could ever say about it.
Scott, agreed, agreed, agreed. How about, "Ignore every order that starts at the top with TRUMP OR HEGSETH"???
Everyone who believes these fools are suckers!
and losers!
I heard something about cluster fuckers.
What did you hear?
Good one, Edward! And it fits nicely into the space bubble in the cartoon.
"Calm down babe, it's just locker room talk!"
Kill the engine and have a Moscow Mule!
Who's on First?
I don’t know.
He’s on third!
Third Base

Me too! That was just an insane ruling!
Reminds me of that old telephone game we played with a can … except it’s no game.
I was working on a Telephone one too :-D
Yup. Prof. Reich showing our age. Girl Scouts around the campfire. You actually had a can? Love ya.
