Mike Luckovich for April 26, 2024

Mike the Democrats will save him from MTG!!!

Too late.

Johnson believes the world is only 6000 years old, so we know he is a lunatic. He is an election denier, so we know he is dishonest to the rotten core of his rotten being.

I’ll bet he made up the answers to that crossword. I wonder how long he’ll last.

If enough of us VOTES BLUE in November we can save our country

I read that Speaker Johnson changed his mind about aid to Ukraine after some closed-door briefings with the Administration. I have to wonder if any of those briefings mentioned skeletons in his closet that he might not want known.

Cartoonists are giving Johnson, Greene, Tuberville, Boebert etc all the individual pokes, but it is the Republican senators and representatives as a whole who are a semi-organized gang of thieves and thugs. Ever-willing to do the bidding of the Billionaie-Investor class, and some of Putin’s as well, they take their share of the national wealth and care not a rat’s patouti what damage they do to this country, and society. The Democrats are not that far behind, as they pander to a seeming unending wave of people crashing across the border (NY & New England included), borrowing yet even more money to put out the welcome mat, while millions of our own displaced homeless and Military Veterans go on wanting. This is the result of George Washington’s warnings about the “Party” system.

Meanwhile, 11.6% of Americans — roughly 38 million people — lived at or below the poverty level. That folks, IS Bidenomics.

I got gas today for $2.39. Unfortunately, it was at Taco Bell.

That assumes Ukraine could have been saved by acting earlier. Probably the best we can do is greatly diminish Russia in their ultimate victory.

Mike had to “consort with the enemy” to do this, according to the more “Conservative elements” in the House. I’m very sure that “Comrade” Trump is furious!

Another $75 billion that we don’t have, on foreign wars.

Too busy checking his son’s porn feed.

Trump’s first impeachment was because he was holding aid to Ukraine hostage until Zelensky provided some dirt on Biden.Zelensky still has not provided any of the imaginary dirt on Biden that the MAGATs, so Republicans are still doing Trump’s bidding, doing their best to hold aid to Ukraine hostage, just as Trump demanded.

Of course, they will try to hem and haw and spin and obfuscate and make up all kinds of other excuses for stabbing an ally in the back, but we all know it is all about doing the bidding of Trump and Trump is following his besty Putin.

The once-respected Republican Party of the 1950’s all the way up until 2015 — when they were merely greedy in their aggressive efforts to REDISTRIBUTE wealth from the working people who produce it to the few richest elites who own and control the productive resources but were not traitors aiding and abetting our adversaries — was deeply opposed to Russian aggression.

Today’s Republican Party, which has become nothing more than the MAGAT cult hates Zelensky because, unlike the Republicans, Zelensky has enough character and fortitude to refuse to surrender to Russian domination the way they did.Chamberlain will go down in history as a traitor, or at least a weak kneed moron. But we haven’t learned from his mistakes.

If you think standing with our allies is expensive, wait until you see the cost of abandoning them.

The Daily Show pointed out the idiocy of calling Mike a “hero” for waiting 6 months to do the right thing. That praise shows how very little we expect from the GOP these days.

What a hero!!!

Back from vacation, Mike’s tanned, rested and ready to do the right thing, as long as he doesn’t lose his position as Moses!

Did Mike the lap dog get the ok from his orange Mar-A-Lardo hero?

Glad l’il Mikey came aboard!

Slava Ukraini!

Johnson learned there are evangelicals in Ukraine

Man oh man, I sure hope the FBI and Secret Service are exercising whatever influence they can muster over Joe Biden and Kamala Harris to not come within 5 miles of each other until after the November elections, lest some whacko RWNJ take them both out simultaneously and we end up with Holy Mike as president.

In 2018, Mike Johnson received campaign contributions from “American Ethane” company, 88% of which was owned by three Russian nationals: Konstantin Nikolaev, Mikhail Yuriev, and Andrey Kunatbaev.

Johnson received at least three checks from the company. Why does that matter?

At least one of the Russian partners, oligarch Nikolaev, had deep ties to Putin.

The sordid tale about the group of Russian nationals who circumvented U.S. political fundraising laws in order to deliver campaign contributions to a slate of MAGA-entrenched Congressmen somehow failed to attract the attention of the corporate media.

Johnson’s campaign claims the money was returned after the facts were first revealed. But why did he take it in the first place?

In 2018, while Donald was still in the White House, his FCC fined American Ethane for donating to GOP candidates — a grand total of $9,500 in civil penalties… That’ll show ‘em.

Nikolaev funded Russian national Maria Butina, who was deported back to Russia after spending 15 months in U.S. penitentiaries for acting as a Russian foreign agent, cozying up to Republicans in order to shape U.S. policy.

In addition to being part owner of Globaltrans, which according to Newsweek is Russia’s largest private rail operation, Nikolaev is also part owner of the Tula Cartridge Plant, a company “which has been supplying ammunition to Russian forces during its invasion of Ukraine.”

The Greatest Con man ever dj trump, has been planning his greatest con job ever, for years, persuade the Supreme Court to grant him presidential immunity so that he can rid himself and others of bothersome opponents.

Did you listen to the few members of the not so Supreme Court give their opinion on what Nut Case trump wanted them to grant him presidential immunity to do as he saw fit to get rid of the proble! The only member that had a very intelligent answer to the Con man, was Ketanji Onyika Brown Jackson too trumps request! The rest of them just made ignorant remarks!

Did This repub idiot actually say he believes our planet or the universe is 6000 years old!! He’s dumber then I believed.

Well now the so-called speaker of the house has another reason for not getting anything done. He has to go to New York and stir things up where he has no authority or business butting in. The least productive congress in history, and looking at its members, we can see why.
