Donald Trump Compares Pete Buttigieg to Mad Magazine Cartoon Alfred E. Neuman
Sabo strikes again
By: Charlie Spiering
President Donald Trump ridiculed Mayor Pete Buttigieg on Friday, describing him as Alfred E. Neuman, the cartoon icon from Mad Magazine.“Alfred E. Neuman cannot become president of the United States,” he said when asked by Politico reporters about his thoughts on Buttigieg, the mayor of South Bend, Indiana who is now running for president.
Newman was first published in the magazine in 1956 and famously appeared as a write-in candidate for president on the cover.
Newman is entirely fictional, but still gets some of the protest vote in recent presidential elections.
Buttigieg responded to the president, admitting that he had to Google the fictional character to figure out what the president was talking about.
“I’ll be honest, I had to Google that, I guess it’s a generational thing, I didn’t get the reference,” he told reporters on Friday night.
The comparison only goes so far; one is a vacuous, empty headed idiot, and the other is a cartoon. Read the rest here: Breitbart
Tip of the hat to Poetrooper for the link.

(What, me worry). I,m sorry I threw out a silk screen Alfred E Newman tee shirt I bought from Harriet Carter mail order catalogue a few years ago.
Now all wee need is some hack political cartoonist to do a rip off of a Mad Magazine fold in about this. ORANGE MAN BAD!
If you don’t know what a Mad fold in is, well I guess I’m old seeing as I grew up before the internet.
Loved those, “Spy vs. Spy,” and all the margin cartoons by Sergio Aragones.
Bought my first MAD Magazine in 1964 when dad was at DLI.
“…one is a vacuous, empty headed idiot, and the other is a cartoon.”
So we have a choice between pictures, right? Which description fits which image – that sort of thing. Fine by me.
I’d damn sure vote for Alfred E. Neuman long before I’d cast a vote for “put a peter in my butt.”….and his “sexual orientation” has nothing to do with that. His being a flaming idiot does.
Bwahahaha.. I knew I recognized him from somewhere!
An interesting fella name of Sabo created the art work at the top of the post. Go here:
Sabo, Street Artist
and check him out.
“His name derives from sabot, a device most commonly used in firearm or cannon ammunition”
Now that was worth the click.
He’s done a ton of artwork that has upset the left… and posts it all over the place in LA for the public to see.
Here’s his website… SJW’s are gonna get triggered when they visit it:

Thanks, Senior Chief. Bookmarked.
“…Then the wars started. I remember wondering if I should reenlist in the Marines only to find out I was too old for them to take back….”

Former Marine!
Sabo does great work!
I checked that. Sabot is the French word for a wooden shoe. So a sabot for ammunition is a “shoe” that it fits into to make it work properly.
Disgruntled workers threw their shoes into the looms, or other machinery, causing work stoppages.
Thus “sabotage”.
(Cue up Beastie Boys “Sabotage”)
Someone’s been watching Star Trek movies again.
I had to look up that reference. I was surprised to see that used tune used in the pseudo-Trek reboot.
Wooden shoe. I shoed look that up.
The Japanese have borrowed “sabot” from sabotage and call it “Saboru”; to them it means skipping school / playing hookey.
Dunno why. Maybe because they are sabotaging their futures?

“South Bend”
The jokes write themselves with this guy.
He backed into his political career the same way he backed into his sex life.
Political sodomy. He wants to pitch his ideas to us.
That sucks.
Once again the Orange Man masterfully caricatures his opponent. Brilliant.
Trump can do more with 140 characters than most people can with a whole dissertation.
Well played, Senior Chief! Damn well played indeed.
Apologies up front Chaplain and to those easily offended. Does anyone in their right mind believe the American people are going to elect a queer who engages in sexual acts with another man and admits to doing so in public? Read where Buttigieg and his “husband” attended former president Jimmy Carter’s church, at his invitation, and was invited to read from the Bible. Do you think Carter was trying to send him a message?
After Clinton getting a BJ in the Oval Office and the public not giving a shit, I would say Buttplug is a feature rich candidate for the left.
The far woke* left will showcase his orientation as the new normal, and if you don’t embrace it you’re a homophobe Nazi fascist hater who deserves nothing but contempt. Certainly you have no right to speak, and if they have their way no right to vote, either. So shut up and like it.
This of course is driving a wedge in the Dem party, especially where Reagan Democrats are now working in industries re-introduced by the Orange Man. The Independents are watching their 401K’s grow after years of little movement. America is now energy independent, and has an economy that is the envy of the world.
What do the Dems have to offer, besides “Orange Man Bad?”
*crickets*
*”woke” triggers the grammar nazi instilled in me by Mom the journalist, and her sister the librarian; I never had a chance.
Off my soap box.
Remember when the news was all aflutter a few months ago because people were reporting that Trump, while giving Oval Office tours, would point out where Bill and Monica would get it on?
Only thing I could think is that I’m really going to miss voting for Trump.
That inspired a much needed hearty laugh. Too, too funny. Not sure if it was the original remark or the reaction to it that was funniest, though. Great twofer.
B. Hussein 0bama got himself elected as a novelty candidate due to his race and IMHO Buttplug (*OOPS*, Buttgieg) is flashing his Gay Card®™ thinking he’ll be the next big novelty candidate.
Peter Bootiegig.
take out the letters IGIEG and you have the BUTT of all of the jokes.
