Beware: Cartel party balloons!
🎈Who hasn't always wanted to fire a laser at a balloon?
The Trump administration is once again demonstrating it’s superior patriotic know-how…
…apparently by firing powerful lasers at party balloons.
This story is still somewhat murky, but it was too ridiculous for me to pass up. Especially since the Department of Defense (or “Department of War” if you like renaming things to harken back to a time when the fascists were in Europe, not 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue) shared an image that looks like it was created by a 16-year-old with limited Photoshop skills.
What they are trying to convey is that America, represented by a mighty bald eagle (with eyes blurred out from loving patriotism so much) will blast tiny evil drones from the sky by using some powerful laser beam that also loves patriots, apple pie and Trump.
And since I am a smart-ass who could not resist going for the visual catnip that is 1.) laser beams, 2.) bald eagles 3.) drones and 4.) balloons, I just had to create a cartoon version of the “Department of War CTO” post.
Compared to the numerous Trump administration social media posts that are shout-outs to the good ol’ Nazi days, this image is fairly mild — yet doesn’t accurately portray blasting harmless balloons out of the sky.
Which is why I had to create this simple cartoon/Trump-ready social media image:
As details continue to emerge, one thing seems pretty certain: this administration is filled with trigger-happy idiots who should not be allowed anywhere near the levers of power.
Too late for that, I guess.
And if you’re an escaped/illegal party balloon floating anywhere near our Southern Border, just know that there is nowhere for you to hide.
We will find you and blast you from the sky!
Reporting from an undisclosed location on the Westernmost Edge of Land nearest the Eastern Pacific Theater, I will be back with more cartoons shortly.

Two comments First the eagle's eyes aren't blurred, they are masked as is required for all federal balloon agents. Second I think they just renamed it to the Trump department of peace prize.
