Sunday Cartoons: CLAWS

Posted: August 2, 2026 | Author: | Filed under: just because | 13 Comments

And so, I have an interesting long read for you this Sunday:

‘I felt sick that he was near my mum’: a top amputation surgeon had his own legs removed due to a fetish. Were his patients safe?

— The Guardian (@theguardian.com) 2026-08-01T09:02:54.741Z

This story is beyond strange, after every paragraph I was saying, “What the fuck?!”

And what was truly crazy, all the advertising on that article was dealing with chopping boards:

But before you read the article above…you may want to catch up on the case:

NHS surgeon who had his legs removed to satisfy sexual interest is jailed for fraudThis article is more than 10 months oldNeil Hopper took nearly £500,000 from insurers after falsely claiming he needed amputation because of sepsiswww.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025…

A surgeon who froze his legs so they would require amputation to satisfy a sexual obsession before making nearly £500,000 in insurance claims has been jailed.

Neil Hopper, a 49-year-old vascular surgeon, was given 32 months after he pleaded guilty to two charges of fraud by false representation. This related to claims made to insurance companies that his legs had been amputated because of sepsis rather than self-inflicted injury.

He also admitted three charges of possessing extreme pornographic images relating to videos from a website called the EunuchMaker.

Be sure to check out that first article…I can’t wait for the true crime documentary that I’m sure has to come one day.

That is so sad, I follow Vincent on social media and he just posted about his dog a few days ago. He will be missed.

Trump is tweeting again:

Now cartoons via Cagle:

That last photo is a picture of Brasstown Bald, the tallest mountain in Georgia. It is in the same county as Banjoville. I just thought that it was a pretty picture of the Milky Way.

You all stay safe, and take care. This is an open thread.

This satirical image above really does make a statement.

Watch this video, I posted it yesterday in the comments…but it is very informative:

This staffer apparently thinks the fact that “fascism” doesn’t have a clear cut definition makes its BETTER that our government is labeling anyone who is “anti-fascists” as terrorists in the 2026 US Counterterrorism Strategy that was published this week. I’d argue it’s much worse.

I’ve got some more videos from instagram, so if there is a problem with the embeds…just reload the page.

I’m going to start with some commentary on this shitshow on Fauci:

The Fauci hearing perfectly illustrated how living through a once in a century pandemic somehow made Republicans far worse on public health. God forbid we face anything like covid again during Trump 2.0. There will be no Dr Fauci around to try to talk sense to Trump.

If those are accurate numbers… Holy shit. That’s bad.

So that arrest is just crazy…now this is just so heartbreakingly sad:

And this situation is beyond maddening:

Is it just me? Or does the guy getting choked look like Lindsey Graham?

Ok, I have several links below that are from instagram…so if they are not imbedding properly, just reload the page.

I don’t know if you are aware of the drama going on with the famous eagle pair in Big Valley?

Jackie (the female) went missing for a couple weeks, and it turned out she was in a fight with another sub-adult eagle. Jackie is very sick. Things have been critical. This is the latest:

The rest of these are some observations and news stories:

Hat tip to Boston Boomer for that picture. I seriously believe McConnell is dead. The Republicans are just keeping it quiet until it is too late…

Elias: They’re not going to persuade voters, and they’re not really going to turn out their own voters. Elections are a game of inches. Their way of gaining those inches is not to increase Donald Trump’s popularity but rather to decrease the number of Democrats who are able to vote.

Trump: "The Democrats are gonna terminate the filibuster as soon as they have a chance and then they're gonna approve DC and Puerto Rico as states. They get 4 more senators, 12 more congressmen, like 40 electoral votes … you don't want to see me cry."

These Trump supporters are nuts.

And that one is a nurse.

This next video clip was posted by a comedian…so I’m not sure the guy he is making fun of is actually real. But after watching those Trump fan videos…I gotta say…it is truly possible.

The stupidity.
