SUPPORT WTFA ON PATREON

Cat: I want you to realize the dog that hasn't barked is Trump. Dog: Now Trump says he wants the Republicans to vote to release the Epstein Files...because they were going to do that regardless. Poster: H.R.4405 - Epstein Files Transparency Act Cat: Of course Trump knew about the girls as he asked Ghislaine to stop. Dog: Are these emails hearsay? Does anyone know? Is there still enough rule of law in the U.S. for it to matter? Poster: "An inmate who trains puppies to become service dogs was instructed to provide one to Maxwell for a time so she could play with the puppy, even though neither inmates nor staff are ordinarily allowed to pet the service dogs in training." Cat: If Trump says he hasn't been on the plane or to the house, then that gives Epstein valuable P.R. and political currency. Dog: Enigmas never age but blackmailers spoil quickly. Poster: "The Democrats were Epstein's friends, all of them, and it's a hoax."-- Trump

NEW COMIC TWO OR THREE TIMES A WEEK, OR WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

This doesn't fit with today's cartoon but I'm irrationally angry about this photo showing Trump walking by an American flag -- on one of his brand new White House flagpoles -- dragging on the ground. It's just so wildly hypocritical that the leader of the party that claims to love America and its flag would treat it so poorly (and in violation of the United States Flag Code).

I obviously don't place the flag over people; clearly anyone who would treat human beings the way Trump has would also mistreat the flag. Which brings us to the latest wrinkle in the seemingly bottomless Trump/Epstein Saga: Much to my surprise, Mike Johnson swore in Rep. Adelita Grijalva and thus opened the House so it could pass the discharge petition, which means H.R.4405, the Epstein Files Transparency Act must be brought to a vote, demanding the release of all the evidence and whatnot gathered by the Department of Justice in its investigation of noted ephebophile Jeffrey Epstein. At the same time the House Oversight Committee released a metric buttload of Epstein emails showing, first, that the so-called elite of this country are a bunch of semi-literate morons, and, second, they're also all evil goddam perverts working very hard to cover up their crimes while continuing to commit them. Well, if nothing else, at least they're industrious. Anyway, there's a lot of gross stuff in there which would be damning, in a legal sense, I guess, if it weren't all hearsay -- maybe? I'm not a lawyer, I don't know. It certainly looks bad, but then Trump and the Republicans have looked bad for literally decades at this point. So I don't know.
