Just another of Putin's useful idiots .. Musk, like Trump, now seems to be actively taking Russia's side against Ukraine .. (cartoon Michael de Adder) #politics

Elon Musk has so far this election cycle spent over $450 million to help the GOP cling onto power. And the worst part is it's legal. This shameful system, where the rich buy political influence, is massively corrupt and anti-democratic. Where is the outrage ? How is it allowed to continue ?

Between Trump's attempts to rig the mid-terms and the certainty of more Russian election interference on his behalf, US Democracy will have a big hill to climb in November.. (cartoon Bruce Plante)

Fun fact: In 1994, the US, UK, Russia, and Ukraine signed the Budapest Memorandum, in which Ukraine gave up its nuclear capability in return for the other signatories respecting Ukraine's "independence and existing borders." Russia and the US are currently breaking that agreement. Ukraine isn't.

In a grovelling display of weakness today Trump's 'special envoy', Steve Witkoff, told Putin, "You are a humanitarian, sir, and I salute that." Really Steve ? Pity you couldn't ask the hundreds of thousands of men, women, and children Putin has slaughtered so far in his illegal war if they agree.

Putin is losing the war he started with Ukraine so now he's activating his secret weapon .. Donald Trump .. (cartoon Dave Whamond)

Is Trump knowingly working for Putin or just a 'useful idiot' being manipulated ? Is he being bribed or blackmailed ? Hard to say, really, but what we can say with confidence is that if America's President were indeed a Russian asset he would behave just like Trump has.

Note to Donald Trump: If Russia stops fighting there will be no war; if Ukraine stops fighting there will be no Ukraine. (cartoon Rob Rogers)

Netanyahu and Putin are genocidal war-criminals, yet Trump is desperate to be their ally. He interferes in Israeli elections by endorsing Netanyahu. He intervenes in the Russia/Ukraine conflict to support Putin's war-effort. Trump, Netanyahu, and Putin are the real 'Axis of Evil' in today's world.

Elon Musk, trying hard again to make sure America gets the best government (for him) that money can buy .. (cartoon David Horsey)

Trump and Putin, soul-mates and BFF's, working together against America, Ukraine, and Western democracies ..(cartoon Steve Sack)

The mask is off. Trump is now openly intervening to aid Russia in its illegal war. Trump is betraying America, Ukraine and the USA's European allies .. (cartoon Jeff Koterba)

Trump's net approval rating at -38 today is the lowest ever recorded for any US president prior to mid-terms 😳 .. (cartoon Rob Rogers)

A catastrophic week for Ukraine. Trump has abandoned his pretense of neutrality and come down firmly on the side of Russia. Even worse, Elon Musk, is throttling delivery of the Starlink service so vital to Ukraine's war effort. Trump and Musk are enemies of America, Ukraine, and western democracy.

I know the practicalities of life matter, but seriously .. it's not the constant lies, cruelty, incompetence, killing, abuses of power, coup attempt, treason, or massive corruption that's finally driving followers away from Trump .. its the price of gas ?

MAGA USA, the Reform Party UK, the far-right everywhere .. they all blame illegal migration for everything, and claim that dealing with it will fix everything. But it's just the same tired old scam Hitler and Mussolini were selling to the gullible nearly 100 years ago. And look what happened then !

If America really is so desperate for diesel because Trump started a war with Iran, he could have bought some from US ally, Canada, but instead he bought from US enemy, Russia. This breaks US sanctions, betrays Ukraine and US allies, and funds Russia's war machine. Can anyone explain the logic ? 🤔

Russia's online war against the west,waged with bots and misinformation, has been a success. It's interfered with elections, helped Trump polarize America, weakened NATO, damaged the EU, and aided the far-right. Our leaders must be more honest about the harm caused and more robust in fighting back.

According to Trump, the responsibility for surging world oil prices definitely lies with Iran .. or possibly Joe Biden .. or maybe Ukraine. Of course the one person who bears no blame whatsoever is Donald J Trump, the man who started the Iran war. Glad we got that cleared up ..🙄

In one single act of spectacular stupidity and treachery, Trump's sanction-breaking oil deal with Russia stabs Ukraine in the back, betrays America's european allies, and gifts Putin money to support his war-machine. (cartoon Dave Granlund)

Is Trump knowingly working for Putin or just a 'useful idiot' being manipulated ? Is he being bribed or blackmailed ? Who knows. What matters is what he does, which in all things is exactly what Putin would want from a Russian asset. So is that what Trump is ? His actions are the answer.

The ICE murders; the terrorizing of American cities; the ripping families apart; the persecution of minorities; the live-streaming of a public execution—does everyone see now ? The cruelty is not accidental. The cruelty is the point. It always has been for Trump and MAGA.
