Another political stunt from the GOP. You do know there are republicans sitting on the committee’s right? Back in 2015 your guy Boehner and the GOP congress made the rules. Quit whining, you look like Trump more and more.
….The ’toon is nicely done. The sketchy detail on the right, giving the vague feeling of busy city, the guy walking the dog, all while not distracting attention from the focus. And crazy, film at eleven, guy is always funny.
“Republicans storm closed door impeachment hearings!!”…. hummm…. so close…
“Republicans storm closed door impeachment investigations”…. there… fixed that one…
…also, “Democracy dies in darkness”… that is going to prove to be profoundly prophetic…. The current AG has pulled a curtain of darkness over this presidency, and embolden further obstruction to bringing evidence to the light of day.
The interruption of testimony in a secure disposition, is in fact suppression of democracy, in not allowing the committees to gather evidence to be used in determining if a trial in the senate is appropriate. The Senate will hold public hearings , where every thing will be brought out of the darkness. So just who is trying to expose criminal behavior, and who is trying to cover-up and deceive….
47 Republicans are on those committees that are conducting an inquiry to see if and what Trump should be tried on. Once Articles of Impeachment have been passed, Trump will be tried in the Senate.
Again, D-list Lester gets the talking points several days after the meme has been debunked, and he’s desperate for a paycheck, so shove crap out the door and hope for the best.
The Frat Boys of Congress violated security and picked party above country when they took their phones into a SCIF. If I had tried something like that, I would have my security clearance yanked in a heartbeat, and I expect nothing less for these yahoos.
Hey, Mr. Lester, would you rally to the support a gang of individuals who invaded your office in an attempt to “find what you’re hiding” with regard to how you get your cartoon ideas?
Or would you claim that they don’t have a legal right (do you understand the concept?) to do so?
Mike, do you truly not understand how wrong these Republican yahoos were? Breaking into a secure location, completely destroying basic security protocols, interrupting an “inquiry” that was being held under all appropriate rules and that was completely transparent to both parties involved?
This is what he’s talking about….He didn’t get any thing wrong…These are the headlines!… he did not make them up or twist then… Now, our opinion of what those headlines contain is a different matter….

Storm! Trying to make it sound heroic? How about invade? You know, as in an illegal incursion?

Mr. Lester, you do know the hearings haven’t started yet, right?

This would be the stupidest cartoon today, except that Steve Kelley’s was even worse.

A more accurate headline would be, “Mob of republicans threatens witnesses of illegal Trump actions.”

Hi just here for my daily Punch in the Face of Logic.
and as usual Lester never disappoints.
All of us that Read and Think know that 47 republicans were on the committees that are involved in impeachment.
We also know that the Dems are following out the process that the Republicans put in place.We also know that the investigation steps are required to be done by committee because Barr will not appoint a special prosecutor
And just to be a divisive as possible we Know that Mike Lester was arrested for Felony assault on a Female.
I plan on being a better steward of the Truth than Facebook So here is the Newspaper account of one of those stories.

Do you not have ANY principles left?

Is Lester advocating for ‘sunshine’, or celebrating Democracy dying?
.
I know. Let’s look at who Lester’s Messiah looks up to as heros: Putin, Kim, Erdogan.
