Ready to be repeeled and replaced?

That is one ugly turtle (in every way)!!

I would never do that to a turtle, unless it’s Mitch.

Just waiting for the first kid in a pickup with a .22.

Should have whittled one end of the fence post down and put in Mitch’s appropriate end.

Right where he belongs.

The best, AND most accurate portrait of Yertle the Turtle McConshell I’ve seen in YEARS!!

I hope he’s not waiting for any help from Orange health care expert.

Bitterness and retaliation seem to be the admired traits in American politics. Too bad if the public is hurt in the process.

There isn’t any humanity left now in either of the aging, withering party policies, is there?

Working with each other to serve the public is now seen as a sign of weakness?

Ironic how he has preached “No” for so long and now its bit him back.

Are you trying to tell me that not every single Republican is willing to do whatever it takes every time to put more money in the pockets of the already wealthy at the expense of average Americans? Mitch say it ain’t so! GOP controls both houses of Congress and the Whitehouse and still can’t pass a law. My goodness!

How nice of the republicans to break the system for us radicals.

So nobody got the Joke?

There’s an old Tennessee saying: “If you see a turtle on the top of a fence post, you can be darn sure it didn’t get there on its own.”

The King of Id to the Wizard: “I saw a turtle up in a tree, is that a good omen?”

“Oh, no, it means there will be a flood!”

“How much water will there be?”

“How high UP was he?”

By the way, Mitch is both a Mock Turtle and a Mock Senator…….

McConnell is on the fence, does he give the rich more? Or take more from the poor?

And it was three Republican women who did it to Mitch! Shoulda had some of those gals on the secret committee, shouldn’t you, Mitch?

He probably thinks its retaliation, not dislike of awful policies.

Aaahhh…..yup.

And now he knows how it feels!

Soup, anyone?

“Post turtle” explained by Wikipedia as the final sentence in a joke: “When you’re driving down a country road and you see a fence post with a turtle balanced on top, that’s a post turtle. You know he didn’t get up there by himself. He doesn’t belong there; you wonder who put him there; he can’t get anything done while he’s up there; and you just want to help the poor, dumb thing down.”
