You will need a whole lot more than facts if you are going to sway the Republican fixers in the senate. Perhaps poll numbers for how America will remember their dereliction of duty next election may help.
There was a time when there were Republican presidents that the MAJORITY of the electorate approved of, that united We the People, and were trusted to do the right things. Does Gary think that only the 4 people he has depicted want the resident held accountable for his un-American actions?
I usually like to see both sides to any argument. With the destruction of America on the line, I won’t visit this site ever again. Shame on your inability to see what is right i front of you.
Republicans really don’t believe in reality, they are out there in right wing extremist land where crimes by a republican president don’t count because only he is above the law.
Varvel is an astonishment. This cartoon is not only stupid, it is stupid about its stupidity. It points to it own stupidity and celebrates it. It advertises its own refutation.
But I like the drawing. He really didn’t need to add the labels, we can identify the figures easily. At least Varvel has talent, even if he has no intelligence or integrity.
The republicans are trying their best to use their criteria for facts.. One can only hope that the light of day shining on many of these “facts” will open their eyes..
But.. The most deluded people are those who choose to ignore what they already know. The proverb There are none so blind as those who will not see has been traced back in English to 1546 (John Heywood), and resembles the Biblical verse(s) Matt 13:13,Jer 5:21 and Isa 6:9-10
Christ. $34M and 18 months of democracy lawmakers announcing new "Aha! and Gotcha now! " and people like you cling to the hope that magical new “facts” will soon be revealed. Pathetic
I once again must give kudos to Mr. Varvel. I love “Blazing Saddles”! But let’s be honest Mr. V, the Democrats are better represented by the pie fight scene. There is SO much ammunition it’s hard to miss the target. Plus the score at that point is pretty inspirational!
Hey Varvel, in case you didn’t see my reply to one of the commentators, here are some facts for you:
The record of the phone call with President Zelenskyy that the White House sent over to Congress confirms the accuracy of the whistleblower’s report. If you’d read it, you’d know that. The mere fact of his asking a foreign government for help in his re-election campaign is a crime, and enough to impeach him.
I copied and pasted this from a different strip. I just needed to change the name:
.
It’s something to see that certain cartoonists are fine with the Rump destroying innocent peoples’ careers, putting peoples’ lives at risk, losing the confidence of allied countries, and using the power of his office for personal gain at the expense of his country. I could go on, but those examples alone should have your condemnation. You, Mr. Varvel, and all the other cartoonists and the whole GOP who still back the beast in the WH are now complicit in his behavior by not calling it out.
I’m beginning to think these right wing cartoonists are being paid a bundle by the Nitwit-in-Chief and the Republicans. Nobody can be this stupid or flat out lie all the time. (Unless you’re part of the Nitwit’s clan.)
Varvel, I suppose you don’t remember the Benghazi hearings. Trey Gowdy and the Rough Riders tilting at windmills.
22 hearings on the 9/11 attack on the WTC.So far, various panels have held 20 hearings on Benghazi, with the 21st to come on Oct. 22 when Hillary Clinton testifies.22 to 21 suggests equal significance, doesn’t it?James Fallows5:09 PM / October 13, 2015
I love the fact that Varvel including AOC in the cartoon, even though she isn’t playing any important role in the process. She’s got the conservatives so spooked or maybe Gary is just crushing on her.

Read the transcript, Varvel.

The transcript Trump released says : “I need you to do us a favor though….”.
Or in Varvel’s mind…not a fact.

Well, trump’s entire strategy is to keep any possible facts from seeing the light of day. Just like any normal person innocent of a crime would. /s

The function of an impeachment inquiry is to discovery to see if some facts would justify an impeachment. Why is that so difficult to understand?

They do need facts, and they know it, Varvel. And they have a lot of them. Trump has already committed multiple crimes IN OFFICE. ON TV.
