On yesterday’s toon, I responded to the vaping meme and not the elephant sucking up Trump propaganda. The republicans don’t vape that junk, it’s not fast, or deep, enough. They main line it.
This one must be about the Little Don and his enforcers. Trump must have toy cops and mobsters, to match his toy soldiers. He has absolutely no idea what real ones do. Or feel. Or think. Or…
Nailed it! #45 is just a wannabe Mafioso, whose ONLY criteria for hiring is personal loyalty – and God help you if you think he’ll be loyal to you. No such thing. He’ll throw his family under the bus if that’s what it takes to save himself.
Calm down, Hair Furor. Your boss, Mr. Putin, “joked” yesterday that Russia would likely meddle in the 2020 election. But he was only joking, of course. Just kidding, he said.
If the Nitwit-in-Chief was actually in charge of the Mafia and ran it like he does the RepubliCONS, the criminals would have a sudden meltdown into extinction. (It kind of reminds one of the administration’s approach to the environment, doesn’t it? EXTINCTION that is.)
Do you realize that Pompeo, Barr, Trump, White House Counsel Cipollone and Guiliani have formed a criminal enterprise? That’s RICO. 18 U.S. Code § 1962
Trump is looking very strongly to paint Pence with the same brush, but I suspect that Pence actually wants the presidential office so will be trying to keep his nose as clean as possible currently.
The Constitution has the House obligated to investigate and then the Senate obligated to judge if the House advances the impeachment inquiry results to the Senate.
If Trump convinces people that Pence is the same as he is then a conviction by the current Senate becomes much more remote because the Republicans will not want the office to go temporarily to Pelosi until the election is held.
On the other hand, if Pence is telling the truth and Trump is trying to set Pence up and if the Senate hears sufficient evidence on that score, too, then Pence becomes the one who temporarily would replace Trump. That would free up more Republicans to judge Trump unfit for his office due to violations alleged in the finalized impeachment investigation.
Pence, carrying the bus-weight may make him less likely to ‘pardon’ the PERPident, or add charges to the impeachment, should 45* try to ‘influence’ his decision ! But, NY State (and Va ?) will be waiting for his departure, pardoned or not…THEY do RICO, too !
Barr was selected ass AG because of his history as “the fixer”. When Caspar Weinberger was supposed to testify to Congress about lying about Iran-Contra, Bush 41 pardoned him and several others to protect himself (and probably Reagan too).
The only one of the Repub presidents that wasn’t criminal starting with Nixon is Ford, and he wasn’t even elected. He should not have pardoned Nixon, but he didn’t do that to protect himself. Watergate, Iran-Contra, wars based on lies (look at the history of Iraq War ONE too), torture of POWs and the long list from Trump are appalling.

Second (probable) Mafia metaphor today. Maybe the not-so-rightwing cartoonists also tap into the same zeitgeist?

Corey Lewandowski showed up drunk for a FOX news interview. And they called him on it. Life getting a little stressful, Corey?
