POLITICAL ANIMALS: RINOS & DINOS Tina Toon Cartoon published 03/24/2026 Ah, the majestic creatures of Washington D.C. — where the elephants sprout rhino horns, the donkeys grow dinosaur tails, and the only thing bipartisan is the finger-pointing. The RINOs (Republicans In Name Only) and DINOs (Democrats In Name Only) are circling the Capitol dome like it’s feeding time at the world’s most expensive zoo. In front of the cameras, the big beasts growl and posture. But on main street, the frustrated voters are losing it:“DARN RINOs!” “DARN DINOs!” And you know what? They’ve got a point. On the Republican side, classic RINO specimens like Senators John Cornyn and John Thune have spent years perfecting the art of the velvet-gloved backstab. Cornyn helped Biden judges get confirmed. He also once called Trump’s border wall “naive,” and helped push gun control with Democrats—plus, he publicly slammed Trump’s language after January 6. Thune? He’s been a longtime tariff skeptic, warning that Trump’s trade policies would hurt farmers and the economy. They wear the red jersey, sure… but they keep playing for the “Uni-Party” squad. Name only, folks. Name only. But the real plot twist? The Democrats are finally getting their own exhibit — the DINOs! Enter Senator John Fetterman, the hoodie-wearing, beard-sporting voice of common sense who somehow wandered into the wrong enclosure. While the rest of his party is having a full meltdown over anything Trump-related (they call it “Trump Derangement Syndrome” these days), Fetterman’s out there dropping truth bombs: Blasting the “rot” of anti-Israel extremism in his party, supporting strong action against Iran, pushing bipartisan fixes, and basically admitting the Democrats are governed more by pure TDS than by any coherent agenda. He’s the only one in the blue zoo who seems to remember real people exist outside the Beltway bubble. The rest look at him like he just suggested putting pineapple on pizza at an Italian wedding reception. So next time you see the screaming match on cable news, just picture this cartoon: two fake party animals pointing fingers while actual voters stand there yelling, “DARN RINOs! DARN DINOs!”Welcome to the DC Zoo — where the only thing endangered is common sense, the exhibits are all “in name only,” and the lone sane animal is the guy dressed for a neighborhood barbecue. Grab your popcorn, folks. The show is free… and the hypocrisy is priceless. —The GrrrTeam
