Two Oval sociopaths share additional malignant, dark-hearted trait — a palpably odd, arrested development. Each is stuck inside their respective deep wells of self-concern, delusion and victimhood and read as deceptive, noxious, unfulfilled children. This, paired with each freak-boy’s deep-seated pathology for chronic lie spew, we’re treated hourly to a kind of wincing disbelief and held as stunned hostages. A toxic verdict on the American people. Embarrassed to be here for the world is aghast at us. We did this.
And then there’s Karoline Leavitt. Like maggots generating from matter decaying, they multiply and the rot emanates outward.
I like your use of the term “whiney little assholes” because it is egalitarian and can apply to all of us. We all have assholes. We'd die if we didn't, or we'd have to use some other hole to get rid of all the shit. Or drill a hole somewhere...oh no now I've opened up a whole new can of shitty worms.
I tend to avoid pejoratives that have an element of racism or sexism (anyone can be an asshole) but in this case thought the story cried out for the B-word because both Trump and Musk like to see themselves as apex predators but then get on social media and whine about everything under the sun.
My middle son "Motorboat" once said Donald Trump's true calling was to be a gossip columnist in New York talking about whose parties were "hot" and who wore what to the Oscars and I think Motorboat makes a good point.
I got my dad's name, (not shown) which would be fine if I was living out on a cattle ranch somewhere, but going to public schools made me tough, fast, and/or funny. Depends on who you ask.
I still feel better about my name than than that of Tyrod Taylor (sorry, I'm a car guy, he will forever be tie-rod)or Penn Jillette's daughter, "Moxie Crimefighter Jillette".
However you got there "Bud Simpson" is a good, solid name and I'd be willing to buy a used car from "Bud Simpson Motors" but "Motorboat Simpson" sound like the fastest guy in the Negro Leagues who would have run around with Satchel Paige and I just think "Motorboat" makes any last name sound better.
Totally agree about Tie-Rod and I always thinks the same thing and now that you mention it, Moxie Crimefighter probably ought to sue her father.
We took pains to unburden our children with “normal” names, with even “normal” reasons (after, or similar to, grandmothers’ names). About 50% success in the complaint department there. “Moxie Crimefighter,” however, seems above criticism.)
Terry, thanks a million. Some people complain when I write about baseball and others complain when I don't, but now that they're starting up again the odds that I'll write about the Royals go way up and I've already got something in the works.

As Slim Pickens said in "Blazing Saddles"...Ditto!
Excellent

I agree!

With kids, 50% should probably be considered a win.
Yeah, names aren’t the half of it.
Excellent it’s sad for the rest of us that king ilikemeohsomuch 45-47& thinks big balls 🏀 (the hacker) is working for him
If they haven't reached the bottom of the barrel, they're getting close.
Thank you for this editorial cartoon
I'll keep drawing them as long as people want to see them.
