Regular readers of this blog (thank you all!) know I often like to feature an illustration that I put together myself. Even before I think of a topic to write about I sometimes amuse myself making an illustration to put in a comment to an article on RawStory. Here’s are some of my recent blog…
When a happy clown needs to be a sad serious clown: HuffPost called what Stephen Colbert said “a colorful reminder” of who Trump really is.

Above: Edvard Munch’s iconic screaming man has been interpretated as signifying the anxiety of the human condition. He has his eyes wide open but his hands are firmly pressed against his ears. The so-called Three Wise Monkeys are also trying to shut out reality. At least Munch’s man is screaming. The monkey’s could be said…
I wrote a blog in 2017 titled “Message to Trump – ’24” isn’t real, but then again he admires brutal dictators for whom the torture depicted on the TV show is real, and Trump admires them. Does anybody doubt that if he could he’d relish ordering his enemies to be waterboarded or worse? By Hal Brown, MSW

In 2020 someone made a GIF of Trump morphing into Hitler and it is now even more of a fitting illustration to remind us of what should be a chilling comparison for those who cherish democracy between a wannabe ruthless dictator and a real one. By Hal Brown, MSW

“The Strawberries, the strawberries” – Trump will crash and burn if he goes full-bore Capt. Queeg. He will crash and burn once enough Republicans say what Claire McCaskel said: Trump’s “got mental illness, for gosh sake!” She was mild. Many may say “holly sh*t he really is crazy.” By Hal Brown, MSW

In “The Caine Mutiny” during his court martial Capt. Queeg had a full-on paranoid break. You can watch the video clip here. Whether Trump goes demonstrably clincally paranoid on the witness stand the way Queeg did doesn’t matter as long as it happens in public. Yesterday I considered the question as to whether Trump was…
