"We're IN! 100% ALL IN!"

08/23/2026

My favorite political cartoonist, Clay Jones, added a very interesting commentary to his most recent artwork…

⏩️ From Clay Jones:
Donald Trump gave the media a little tour around the White House to show off some of his expensive new projects.

There's a brand-new trade war with Canada, an actual war with Iran, a recession, and Republicans are about to lose the House and, quite possibly, the Senate, but what else does Donald Trump have to do that would distract him from giving the media a tour of some of his pet projects?

One of those projects is the new helipad on the South Lawn, about where that big giant claw contraption-looking thingy went for the UFC fight on his birthday.

And around this helipad is a lot of grass, well… because it IS the “South Lawn.”While showing off the helipad and grass, Donald Trump told us the grass is “very happy.”

Trump said, "You know, grass has a life like humans have a life. This has all been redone, it's all been topsoiled… Lot of good ingredients. If you're grass, you're very happy. This grass will look so beautiful."

In another life, Donald Trump was a science teacher? Trump should know a lot about grass because he's been driving golf carts on top of the stuff for decades.

He then gave a shoutout to Scotts, which is a company that makes grass seed and fertilizer, something else that Donald Trump makes.

He said that Scotts donated the grass free of charge; it was a “great company,” and that “somebody” had told him Scotts was the “biggest grass company in the world,” which he found pretty impressive. Trump also fessed up to the fact that Scotts donated to his 2024 campaign, which he said the media would have a field day with if he didn’t admit to it.

“They actually contributed to my campaign, I must be honest,” Trump said. “You’ll figure that one out.”

He acted as though they were a great company because they contributed to his campaign. You would think that that would actually hurt them, as Americans can blame them for what Donald Trump is doing to this country. F**k you, Scotts and Elon.

Trump was talking about how horrible the South Lawn looked until Scotts donated about a million bucks worth of free grass. I have been walking by the South Lawn for years, and it never occurred to me that we need a corrupt grass company to save it.

Trump neglected to mention that the South Lawn looked horrible only because the giant UFC claw fu**ed it up. This is like Donald Trump giving himself credit for ending a war he started, and he hasn't even done that yet.

In thanking the grass fu***rs, Trump said, “It was given, free of charge, by Scotts Miracle-Gro. They actually contributed to my campaign. So I wanna thank Scotts Miracle-Gro.”

Now, thousands of klansman are reseeding their front lawns with Scotts Miracle-Gro. In case you missed it, that was Scotts Miracle-Gro.

Yes, the president of the United States did an infomercial for a grass corporation on the South Lawn.

I am pretty sure that was illegal, but it's not like anybody's gonna do anything about it. Quick! Call the Justice Department! Todd Blanche will get right on this, right? What was that? Todd is too busy reseeding his front lawn?

At least we know who's happy during Trump 2.0: racists and grass.

There are 73 days left until the midterms.
Let’s make a difference. ~Clay~

So the paid-for pardons the orange felon is issuing to convicted, imprisoned criminals is also impacting his own followers…?
Now that’s classic ! 🤭

Excerpt:

John Long was at home at his pig farm in Colorado when he received a message he never expected.

Marian Morgan, a scammer who had stolen $20 million from him and thousands of other investors through a Ponzi scheme, was being released from prison less than halfway through her 33-year sentence.

It was not for good behavior or because she had paid her victims back. Morgan was being released because Trump commuted her sentence, freeing her and writing off all of the restitution payments she owed the people she had defrauded.

Long, an 80-year-old Trump voter, believes Morgan is “criminally insane”. He added: “She’s going to suck money out of somebody.”

Judith Ausmus is another Trump voter who with her husband, Donald, owned a small vending machine company in Minnesota when they got snagged by Morgan. They borrowed $100,000 from Ausmus’s brother, who also invested in the scheme. Both were “financially devastated” when Morgan was discovered to be a convicted criminal. The Times reports they lost their company, and had to remortgage their house.

Pardons in the second Trump administration are more blatantly a bought and sold commodity, said Liz Oyer, the former head pardon attorney at the DOJ who was fired just a few weeks after Trump returned to the White House. What was once a process involving petitions to the Department of Justice is now done directly through the White House.

“It’s not normal,” said Oyer. “The traditional criteria that the [DOJ] applies for recommending clemency have been abandoned by this administration, and the rigorous vetting process, which often involves investigations conducted by the FBI, has been abandoned.”

Ewwwwwww 😵🫪
This is gross and disgusting. 🤮 🤦🏻‍♀️

Excerpt:

Years before Natalie Harp became a key White House aide to Trump, she flooded her Twitter feed with posts demonstrating extraordinary devotion to him.

A CNN review of Harp's now-removed account on X, previously Twitter, found that Harp posted more than 150 tweets on January 6, 2021, urging Republicans to "FIGHT FOR TRUMP" as he began his speech near the White House.

She echoed Trump’s talking points that the election was stolen, and amplified rhetoric of his allies, who also sought to undermine the legitimacy of Joe Biden's election win. (Harp's X account appears suspended. It's unclear when her account was taken down, and whether she or the platform removed her posts.)

Harp's apparent devotion to Trump's election lie narrative didn't begin on January 6, 2021, according to CNN's review. In the weeks leading up to the Capitol riot, she posted to her followers, "We will never give up – for TRUTH is on our side. January 6th is coming!!."

The tweets reviewed by CNN illustrate Harp's devotion to Trump that dates back to at least 2016, when Harp appears to have first begun posting to Twitter about Trump.

Harp also tweeted Bible verses in reference to Trump, defending him the day he was impeached in 2019.

Years before Natalie Harp became a key White House aide to President Donald Trump, she posted more than 150 tweets demonstrating extraordinary devotion to him on January 6, 2021.

I sure hope that the American Bar Association will fight to the finish and do whatever necessary to shut down the ongoing dictatorial, unconstitutional bu****it from the trump regime’s justice department.
! ⚖️

Excerpt:

The DOJ has submitted a declaration from a White House lawyer to swat away the American Bar Association's (ABA) discovery demands, claiming they threaten to "produce information identifying" senior advisers who authored Donald Trump's "permanently enjoined" law firm executive orders.

In a notice to the court, the DOJ said that the Executive Office of the President "strongly object[s]" to U.S. District Judge Amir Ali's Aug. 3 order, which attempted to "narrow" the existing discovery "impasse" between the ABA and the government, by opening the door to naming names "at issue" for two specific requests.

The ABA is suing to uncover the origins of Trump's "unprecedented and uniquely dangerous" executive orders, which have targeted law firms with the threat of tearing up all of their existing government contracts and removing all federal security clearances held by law firms.

(*NOTE: the security clearances allow lawyers and law firm staff to enter federal courts and federal agency offices)

Another great judicial smackdown of the bigoted, racist, inhumane, xenophobic orange jagoff.
! ⚖️

Excerpt:

On Friday, a federal judge struck down the Trump administration’s policy that suspended all immigrant visa issuance for nationals of 75 countries; the order prohibits refusals based solely on the administration’s policy, and requires that all cases be reconsidered only by consular officers under the normal, longstanding immigration laws.

U.S. District Judge Jeannette A. Vargas said the policy, announced by the State Department in January, "is contrary to law and was issued in excess of Secretary Rubio's statutory authority."

Judge Vargas said the administration’s policy conflicts with federal immigration law, which gives independent federal consular officers "exclusive authority and discretion" to determine whether an immigrant is eligible for a visa.

I really needed a good laugh today and comedian Andy Borowitz always delivers laughter with his hilarious SATIRE smackdowns of the orange felon and his du***ss trumpliQan KKKult.
🤣😂

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report) — Explaining his opposition to all birth control, Senator Tommy Tuberville said that he opposes contraception and all other words with more than one syllable.

“I see the word ‘contraception’ and that’s a quick ‘no’ for me,” the Alabama lawmaker said. “Don’t know what that word means. Won’t look it up.”

Proud of his consistent opposition to polysyllabic words, Tuberville said, “Immigration. Education. Vaccination. No, no, no.”

The senator said, however, that he would continue supporting one-syllable words such as guns and oil, adding, “Short words good. Long words bad.”

🤣😂🤪
‼️ SATIRE ALERT ‼️

(personally, I’m shocked that even 33% of Americans approve of ANYTHING the orange felon does) 🤮

“Trump's current approval rating has plummeted to a record low during his second term in office and is now tied for his lowest approval rating ever.

Only 33% of those surveyed in a new Reuters/Ipsos poll approve of Trump’s job in the White House.

The survey of 11,166 respondents showed that 64% disapproved of Trump's job performance overall.”
