Today marks the first of our Ass Clown awards for the month of June, halfway through the year 2025 and five months into the socially and politically apocalyptic reign of Der Furor. When I write these awards, I usually start out with a whine about how difficult it is to separate the chaff from the chaff, how hard it is to skim the largest chunk from the cesspool of current events, or some other such complaint about the difficulty in selecting a winner.
Not this time.
This time, we revisit a previously-cited Ass Clown who has, sadly, has resolutely striven for new heights of ass clownery in the service of the embarrassing buffoon who has made the once-proud United States a laughingstock around the world.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, today we present the tinfoil and toilet paper crown of
The Right-Cheek Ass Clown for June, 2025

to
Attorney General Pam Bondi
It was just a month ago that the sitting Attorney General won the Right-Cheek Ass Clown Award for May, 2025, and yet here we are again as she reaches for new horizons of dishonor in the service of what we once called "justice" in this country.
Last week, after months of insisting that there was no way for the United States to return Kilmar Abrego Garcia, a man mistakenly deported to a notorious megaprison in El Salvador, Ms Bondi announced with great fanfare that Mr Garcia had finally been returned to the United States ... to face charges spelled out in a ten-page indictment accusing him of human trafficking, belonging to a terrorist organization (the Salvadoran criminal gang "MS-13"), and interstate transportation and sale of firearms. Ms Bondi, evidently in an attempt to sway public opinion in expectation of pushback, made numerous public statements which went well beyond the offenses spelled out in the indictment as she pounded the drum that Mr Garcia had engaged in major criminal conduct. This, of course, violates DOJ policy and the traditional standard of "innocent until proven guilty." Of course, the chances that she will face any consequences under this administration are vanishingly small.
Ladies and Gentlemen, Dear Readers, the Right-Cheek Ass Clown for June, 2025, is Attorney General Pam Bondi, the person who has turned the Department of Justice into the vehicle for Der Furor's retribution campaign against his enemies ... the woman who singlehandedly defines the "weaponization of government" so decried by MAGAts unless they are in power.
Have a good day and come back tomorrow for Cartoon Saturday, when we'll feature cartoons about wine. After all, we need plenty of it to help cope with the likes of Pam Bondi.
More thoughts coming.
