Tuesday Cartoons: In Bed For Good

Hello, if it was up to me, I would stay in bed…under the covers. At least it is safe under there.

From last night:

Concerns are growing that Trump, who promised to keep the U.S. out of foreign wars, is about to get us into a war with Iran. Trump is leaving the G7 early to return home and meet with the National Security Council. Could Trump be preparing to drop a 30,000-pound bunker-busting bomb?

The First Amendment coalition is suing the LAPD to get them to stop attacking journalists. Given what we are likely to see in the coming weeks and months, this case will resonate far beyond California. firstamendmentcoalition.org/news/post/jo…

The American Bar Association is suing Trump — challenging an "intimidation policy" it says the White House is using to try to sideline the country's top law firms.

    COLLINS: Have you called Tim Walz yet?TRUMP: I don't really call him. He appointed this guy to a position. I think the governor of Minnesota is so whacked out. I'm not calling him … he's a mess.

    Alaska's historic heat advisory is a serious warning for a state where most people don’t have the coping mechanisms taken for granted elsewhere—shaded porches, central air, even knowing the signs of heatstroke.

    Dear Lord … I think we’re at war with Iran. He’s announcing “we know where the ayatollah is” and ” we have control of the skies”

    This is horrifying…

    Stephen Miller is the one who really controls the Department of Homeland Security, according to former Trump administration Homeland Security staffer Miles Taylor.DHS Secretary Kristi Noem has been demoted to nothing more than a mouthpiece for his agenda, he said.

    Trump raged at Hegseth over birthday parade where military had too much fun: ‘He’s p***ed off at the soldiers’

    Soldiers ‘were enjoying themselves and showing a convivial face rather than a military face,’ writer Michael Wolff says

    https://www.the-independent.com/news/world/americas/us-politics/trump-hegseth-military-parade-birthday-b2771585.html

    President Donald Trump raged at Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth over Saturday’s military parade, arguing that the soldiers were “hamming it up,” biographer Michael Wolff has said.

    Wolff appeared on The Daily Beast Podcast, saying that the president wanted a “menacing” show of force in honor of the Army’s 250th, and his 79th, birthday on June 14. Instead, Trump got a “festive” parade, said the author.

    “He’s p***ed off at the soldiers,” he said. “He’s accusing them of hamming it up, and by that, he seems to mean that they were having a good time, that they were waving, that they were enjoying themselves and showing a convivial face rather than a military face.”

    Social media users noted that the soldiers weren’t marching in lockstep during the parade as they made their way down Constitution Avenue in downtown Washington, D.C. Wolff claimed that Trump blamed Hegseth for the lacklustre performance.

    “He kind of reamed out Hegseth for this,” Wolff said of the president. “Apparently, there was a phone call, and he said to Hegseth, the tone was all wrong. Why was the tone wrong? Who staged this? There was the tone problem. Trump, he keeps repeating himself.”

    “It didn’t send the message that he apparently wanted, which is that he was the commander-in-chief of this menacing enterprise,” the biographer added.

    The White House called Wolff a “lying sack of s***” and a “proven … fraud.”

    “He routinely fabricates stories originating from his sick and warped imagination, only possible because he has a severe and debilitating case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted his peanut-sized brain,” Steven Cheung, the White House communications director, told The Daily Beast.
