['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2025-07-16

All Editorial Cartoons Must Go I know I just posted my weekly diary this past Sunday, with almost 80 editorial cartoons. Given the events of the past week or so, cartoonists have been working overtime to keep up with Trump’s many shenanigans. Hence, the need for a second diary this week. Here’s the link to my earlier diary — MAGA Death Threats Over Editorial Cartoon — The Week in Editorial Cartoons Scroll down a bit for manual updates.

A Confession?

x Before Trump was a politician, when his life was consumed w/being Jeffrey Epstein's wingman in the endless pursuit of having sex w/children — he admitted to being a sexual predator.

Pacifying MAGA

MAGA Mania — The Nativists Are Restless

The uproar over the release of the Epstein Files comes from all corners — Republicans, Democrats, and Independents. Most people sense that the Trump Regime is engaging in a massive coverup.

At its core, this is a story of fabulously rich and powerful men exploiting and sexually abusing young girls for personal pleasure. This abuse of power is what rankles many people; hence, the demand for full disclosure. Whenever the electorate senses that some case reflects a two-tiered justice system — one for the rich, another for the poor — it will frequently demand transparency and openness.

Is Donald Trump one of the abusers? Many people suspect he is. That’s where we are.

x My 7/10 'Toon & column for https://t.co/Jh8bqkPpYb on Pam Bondi/ICE masking and Epstein client list.https://t.co/rNFuZ42ozq pic.twitter.com/avA5LRNfmu — Jeff Darcy (@Darcycartoon) July 10, 2025 "Epstein has been dead and gone for years but his tawdry legacy looms large in a country wanting to know more about who he knew and whether secrets have been buried with him,’ said Quinnipiac University Polling Analyst Tim Malloy.

A Quinnipiac University poll was released just today and showed the following results.

Tot Rep Dem Ind Men Women Approve 17% 40% 2% 11% 20% 14% Disapprove 63 36 83 71 63 64 DK/NA 20 24 14 18 17 22 One can see why the Republican Party is split on this issue. Many current administration officials — including the Director of the FBI, Kash Patel, and his Assistant, Deputy Director Dan Bongino — fanned the flames for years with bizarre conspiracy theories and accusations with no basis on podcasts, rightwing radio shows, and FOX News. The MAGA faithful are calling their bluff and want some closure on this issue. An internal Democratic Party poll reveals the potency of this explosive issue. x Back again!? #trump #TrumpPedoFiles #EpsteinClientList #EpsteinCoverup #EpsteinList pic.twitter.com/fzvAEdKhsJ — Guy Parsons (@ParsonsGuy) July 14, 2025 [S]even-in-10 voters — and six-in-10 Trump voters — believe “law enforcement is withholding information about powerful people connected to” Jeffrey Epstein, Politico reports. Trump is also beginning to lose the so-called Manosphere, which was influential in fueling Trump’s victory in 2024. This includes “podcasts and YouTube shows hosted by a growing universe of male comedians, pranksters, streamers, and other right-leaning influencers who had cultivated large, loyal followings.” One report implies that many Republicans believe that Trump will do his best to distract attention from Epstein. How Do You Like ICE now?
