1. JD the bellhop...

[TygrBright]

6. Organ Grinder's Monkey. n/t

[ShazamIam]

14. I was thinking JD is being depicted as a Russian. nt

[ShazzieB]

24. I thought that for a moment or two.

But that outfit is much more organ grinder's monkey than Russian, imo.

It also calls to mind a quote frequently attributed to Winston Churchill: "Never hold discussions with the monkey when the organ grinder is in the room." I can't help wondering if TT may have had that in mind when he drew the cartoon depicting Vance in that outfit and also referencing Churchill.

25. The organ grinder monkey comparison works. nt

19. Sums up the Trump Vice Residuncee.

Bellhop to the stars. And they have couches!

[Paladin]

2. Nice slam of the trump pimps at the NY Times. So well-deserved.

And I will never get tired of J.D. Vance in the bellhop outfit! Too perfect.

[Kid Berwyn]

21. Absolutely pegs both.

The New York Times are missing the coming stormfront in the NAZI sense of the word.

[PatSeg]

9. Like nobody's ever seen before!

[BOSSHOG]

11. According to putin

I am toast. Can you believe it? Vlad and his buddies over there are plotting against me so I don’t get the Pulitzer Peace Prize that only I deserve. Millions of people are saying that.

16. Pulitzer Peace Prize

[Be Leave On]

26. to borrow a phrase

To borrow a phrase from the 1980's movie Jekyl And Hyde Together Again, call it the Putz Puller Prize.

[Kid Berwyn]

22. Before me, people just ate soggy bread.

DU for Big Picture Context missing from NYT:

For reference: Trump spent more than four years undermining Ukraine and promoting Russian interests

[LetMyPeopleVote]

5. Great cartoon

[Kid Berwyn]

27. TT pegged the Situation

1990



2002



One of these is just like the other one.

[muriel_volestrangler]

7. And yet, none of that is quite a weird as "Biden was killed in 2020 and replaced by a robot"

which I suspect came out after TT's deadline.

[Kid Berwyn]

28. Goes back to Reagan.

[Midnight Writer]

8. So spot-on that it's not even funny.

[chouchou]

10. In a fair and sane reality, Donnie Boy would be making License Plates and Babbling nonsense.

Opps..Sorry, he's already babbling nonsense.

[0rganism]

17. Yep, halfway there already

[Diamond_Dog]

12. K and R
