Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "Man Overboard! (to coin a phrase)"
Man Overboard! (to coin a phrase)
https://sinkers.org/stage/?p=4310
Kevin Reed reports at the World Socialist Web Site:
"The President’s response encapsulates the contempt of the entire
ruling elite for the conditions of sailors and other military men and women in
the war against Iran. For personnel who have spent more than 250 consecutive days at sea—and amid multiple reported suicide attempts—Trump makes clear that the health and lives of American soldiers are expendable..."
...and the Donster also actually said this:
https://www.sinkers.org/posters/manoverboard/trumpquotescrnshotAug1826.jpg
– out loud – to an event at a police academy in New Jersey. And if
you've seen the same war I've been watching since March, y'all know
fersure that Trump really has jumped off the deck.

Bob Eckstein's The New Press Secretary, a timely D.C. cartoon nobdy has seen yet
Bob Eckstein still wants you:
First, a special thanks to my paying subscribers—Substack has started a new program which will subsidize newsletters that are bestsellers. So I’m running a promotion of a free book for any new paid subscriptions as The Bob is just a handful of readers away.
Bob just posted this excellent "An Interview with Nick Downes and Robert Leighton" at https://thebob.substack.com/p/chatting-cartoons-with-two-of-the and you can subscribe right there with the button on the top left. Bob emailed me the interview (altho I'm already a subscriber [courtesy of some favor I don't recall doing, but he did one back]), but it didn't have a DC-tie to feature it here, so instead, "I can’t think of a D.C. [link] but I can give you a timely D.C. cartoon you are welcome to have, if you wish—nobody has seen it yet."
