"The Pope accused Trump (indirectly. obviously) of "dragging that which is sacred into darkness and filth." The Catholic Church hasn't burned anybody that bad in almost 500 years." - Snarky Orwell

Orwell left the church out of 1984 entirely. The Party had replaced it. Again... not instructions.

Our team received a report of intermittent app outages at about 11:40pm PDT on April 15, 2026. They worked through the night to mitigate a sophisticated Distributed Denial-of-Service (DDoS) attack, which intensified throughout the day.

"I'm a Christian. And Donald Trump does something to trash the teachings of my faith every day. But this latest thing, well, I just might object to. That's how strongly I feel about my faith."

Holy shit, you have to be TRULY EVIL to make Switzerland get up off the neutral fence and call you out FOR THE VERY FIRST TIME SINCE 1815?!?

trump MUST be removed from office.
Same goes for his enablers in Congress.

"After 16 years of a brutal entrenched dictator, the Hungarian people showed up in numbers too big to ignore, to send him packing and he ACTUALLY LEFT! Hey America, you up?" - Snarky Orwell

Need a sign of hope? There it is!

Now let’s do that here, in numbers too big to call ‘fake news.’ They fired a dictator, we can too!

Tick tock motherfucker!

4-panel cartoon of Trumpy (#58, volume 2), with the title/logo in the top left corner, "by the Dæricks Gröss" in the top right corner, the Studio G logo in the bottom left corner with "find us on BlueSky @trumpy.studiogart.net", and "Vol.2#58 04-07-2026" in the bottom right corner. All four panels depict JD Vance in Trumpy's office, with a large desk and a window with curtain behind it. The scene is basically the same across all four panels, with only the characters moving. Trumpy is in Panel One, but walks away and is not in the other three panels at all. Panel 1 Trumpy, walking away: "JD, I'll be right back, I'm going to talk to Miller about who I'm going to fire next..." JD: "I'll be right here, Sir." Panel 2 No speaking, JD standing his spot looking to his left Panel 3 No speaking, JD standing his spot looking to his right Panel 4 JD, sitting at Trumpy's desk, smiling wide: "Soon..."

"MANY PEOPLE, GREAT PEOPLE ARE COMPARING ME TO JESUS. I HAVE PAID THE PRICE. TREMENDOUS PRICE. NOBODY HAS BEEN BETRAYED LIKE ME. NOBODY. NOT EVEN THAT OTHER GUY ON THE CROSS." - BIGLY BROTHER

Happy Easter from Snarky Orwell.

Reminder: Jesus fed the poor, healed the sick, and drove out the money changers.

Trump cut school lunches, gutted healthcare, and put the money changers in charge.

Jesus wept.

All four panels depict a couple in their living room watching a tv, which is showing an image of Trumpy giving a speech of some kind. All four panels are exactly the same, only the conversation dialogue changes across all four panels. Panel 1 Spouse 1: "This F'n guy... The world is beginning to hate us now..." Spouse 2: "Everyone has hated him since the very b-" Spouse 1, interrupting: "No, I mean, beginning to hate *us*... You and me. We've let him continue to stay." Spouse 2: "No, Wait. We have foreign friends. They still love us..." Spouse 1: "They're very much done with us..." Panel 2 Spouse 1: "Would you feel welcome visiting anywhere right now?" Spouse 2: "I guess not... But why hate me? I've marched!" Spouse 1: "Three times in a year?" Spouse 2: "Well, I... I've called my senator!" Spouse 1: "How's that working out so far?" Spouse 2: "..." Spouse 1: "We should be doing so much more." Panel 3 Silence. Neither speaks. Panel 4 Spouse 2: "I didn't want to travel anyway."

"BONDI IS OUT. SHE WAS UNABLE TO BEND THE MORAL ARC OF HISTORY TO MY WILL. WE ARE COMMITTED TO FINDING SOMEONE MORE MORALLY FLEXIBLE." - BIGLY BROTHER

Lawrence O’Donnell made a great point.

Nixon won his 1972 re-election in a landslide, winning 49 states.

In 1974 he resigned.

By 1976, you couldn’t find anyone who would admit to supporting him.

Looking forward to history repeating itself.

"In honor of April Fools Day, we regret to inform you that nothing has been changed. Reality remains indistinguishable from satire. Please continue as normal." - Snarky Orwell

I understand the disagreements over whether we should be spending money on space exploration. But one thing I can't get over is the bravery of the four astronauts preparing to get hurled into freaking space. Watching them get strapped into that tiny capsule...it just defies imagination. Godspeed.

All four panels depict Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth in the background standing at a lectern speaking to the press, represented by a bunch of hands holding microphones pointed at him. In the foreground, we see the backs of the heads of several of the reporters. The panels are basically the same, with Hegseth changing expressions on his face in the background. The reporters are whispering to each other as Hegseth carries on silently in the background. Panel 1 Reporter 1: "Hegseth is quoting the Old Testament? Overwhelming violence? Deserve no mercy?" Reporter 2: "In Jesus' name?" Panel 2 Reporter 1: "This doesn't sound like Jesus..." Reporter 2: "He says this after he's bombed a school..." Panel 3 Reporter 1: "This is insane! He's psychotic!" Reporter 2: "Indeed. What are you going to do about it?" Panel 4 Reporter 1: "Me? Nothing. I'm waiting for someone else to do something..." Reporter 2: "So is everyone else..."

*The Pentagon just closed all their press offices. They called it a 'logistics decision.’ Sounds a lot like the Ministry of Truth Social will now be the only news source allowed. henceforth." - Snarky Orwell

Is it too much to ask that ‘Truth’™ contain some actual truth?

Heather Cox Richardson has a larger audience than almost any dudefluencer. More informed. Better values & policy preferences. And yet there are no profiles, no elevation or lionization, because there's *nothing* US media is less interested in than middle-aged lib women. No diner interviews for them.

"In one year, the United States dropped from 20th to 51st in global democracy rankings.* They now sit between Slovakia and Greece. I wrote about this. It was called a warning." - Snarky Orwell

The volume of Trump-supporting hate e-mail I get in response to my columns has dwindled to virtually nothing. This is utterly unscientific and perhaps worthless, but it's something that has not happened before in a decade of covering this guy.

At this point I don't wonder how much insider trading is going on. I wonder how much policy is being made with the purpose of insider trading on it.

The real story… under any other president this would be jail time…

"You, the moderate man, may be used for wrong, but are useless for right."

All four panels depict Trumpy in the background standing at a lectern speaking to the press, represented by a bunch of hands holding microphones pointed at him. In the foreground, we see the backs of the heads of several of the reporters. The panels are basically the same, with Trumpy changing expressions on his face in the background. Panel 1 Trumpy: "I think a president should not have learning disabilities, OK? And I know it's highly controversial to say such a horrible thing.*" Caption: "*Actual horrible quote, March 16, 2026" Panel 2 Trumpy silent, smiling smugly. Panel 3 Trumpy silent, looking surprised by the lack of response. Panel 4 Trumpy wincing as someone in the crowd speaks Random voice in the crowd: "Fuck you."

“WE RAN THE IRAN PLAN THROUGH GROK™. IT SAID IT WAS PERFECT. TREMENDOUS. NO NOTES. ALSO THAT WE WOULD BE GREETED AS LIBERATORS AND NOTHING COULD POSSIBLY GO WRONG!” - BIGLY BROTHER

two-panel cartoon of Trumpy (#54, volume 2), with the title/logo in the top left corner, "by the Dæricks Gröss" in the top right corner, the Studio G logo in the bottom left corner with "find us on BlueSky @trumpy.studiogart.net", and "Vol.2#54 03-17-2026" in the bottom right corner. Both panels depict Trumpy standing at a lectern speaking to the press, represented by a bunch of hands holding microphones pointed at him. The panels are exactly the same otherwise, with Trumpy listening to the press and trying to respond. Trumpy in panel one he raises his hand with his finger up to make his point, his expression more pleased and self-important, and in panel two he stands with his arms down and a more serious expression on his face. The lectern is faced with a red banner and a squared, black and white dollar sign symbol reminiscent of a nazi swastika. Panel 1 Press: "Mr. President, Can you comment on Kevin Hassett's recent statement that the war won't disrupt the U.S. economy but will hurt consumers? Is it really the "last of our concerns right now"?" Trumpy: "Yes, Kevin is totally, 100% correct." Panel 2 Press: "Aren't we ALL "consumers"? Does that mean everyone..." Trumpy: "...is the absolute last thing I am concerned about."

Ben Collins Do you remember the feeling? A couple of months after the 2024 election? The abandonment? I do. I had to do some public speaking around then. I was invited to one of those conferences called Democracy Important or something. It was in Boston, it was an excuse for a nice trip to see my parents, mostly, and I was supposed to be there to talk about The Onion, to do my little funny guy dance, but I almost left before my talk. All morning, the speakers, ostensibly Democrats, were talking about what and who we had to abandon to beat fascism. At this time, they were calling them "The Groups," which to them meant trans people, Palestinian people, and minority groups they didn't believe to be part of a winning coalition, as if that's the only point of running for office.

Kat and I were relatively new to Chicago, but we had built a community, and unfortunately our community was The Groups. Our best friends are trans or nonbinary. Kat is Palestinian herselt. And the political party that was closest to our values was having a contest to see how fast they could throw everyone we loved under the bus people and then into a woodchipper. They thought narrowing what a Democrat could be would signal "strength." So, full of piss and vinegar, I went on stage and I yelled at them a little, gave them the what for. I told them that the people on the street protesting Tesla, the trans people making common cause with the little old ladies who were forming alliances with the government workers laid off by DOGE, those are my people. I'm a lot closer to being one of them than to being someone who would trade their rights for a vote. Strength, to me, is people with nothing to gain still looking out for the least among us, because it's the right thing to do. I can't think of anybody stronger than that. Being unequivocal about rights for literally everyone, not throwing people overboard because of some fictional median voter. That's strength, I think.

four-panel cartoon of Trumpy (#53, volume 2), with the title/logo in the top left corner, "by the Dæricks Gröss" in the top right corner, the Studio G logo in the bottom left corner with "find us on BlueSky @trumpy.studiogart.net", and "Vol.2#53 03-14-2026" in the bottom right corner. All panels depict JD Vance (clutching a large red book to his chest, titles Project 2025 in white letters) standing at a lectern speaking to the press, represented by a bunch of hands holding microphones pointed at him. The panels are identical, other than Vance fades out across the panels until he has completely vanished in Panel 4. Panel 1 Press speaking: "Mr. Vice President, you are among the most public, outspoken vice presidents in history... ...yet since the U.S. started the war with Iran you've been noticeably silent..." Panel 2 Press 1: "Last summer you said you're not looking for regime change, their nuclear program was pushed back by "many years", and that you are not interested in boots on the ground... Why are we doing this?" Press 2: "Are you at odds with the President over this decision?" Panel 3 Press 1: "Do you have any comment about the schoolchildren the U.S. murdered?" Press 2: "Is your silence a hedge against the growing unpopularity of the war?" Press 3: "Any comment on the rumors the President is going to throw Hegseth or Rubio under the bus for this mess?" Press 4: (partially hidden and incomplete) "If you were to become president and inherit this conflict, how quickly would you..." Press 5: "What are your thoughts about the President playing golf while this crisis is unfolding?" Press 6: "How do you justify $1B per day for the war to Americans struggling to make ends meet?" Panel 4 No speaking, the panel is silent and Vance has vanished completely.
