Prickly City by Scott Stantis for December 23, 2020

Hey Winslow, you can come visit me. Just as long as you can show negative test results from a PCR test (not a rapid test) and quarantine for 14 days.

Hey, it can happen.

Not to worry, Winslow, it’s snowing pardons, especially for war criminals.

And for crooked Republican* Congressmen.

.

Your basic compassionate conservatism.

Those civilians that Blackwater contractors slaughtered were Iraqis, so they weren’t actually humans.

i’ll send you some of ours…

You do live in the desert after all……..But considering climate change, umm maybe?

Eric Prince and Betsy Devos probably bought the pardons, they’ve certainly been very upfront in the past about buying influence with the whitehouse:

In a 1997 op-ed for Roll Call, DeVos wrote that she expects results from her political contributions. “My family is the largest single contributor of soft money to the national Republican Party. I have decided to stop taking offense at the suggestion that we are buying influence,” she wrote. “Now I simply concede the point. They are right.”

Criteria for a Trump pardon:

War criminals

Corrupt Republicans

Convicted in the Russia probe

Trump co-conspirator

Spent money at a trump Org. property.

He pardoned people who were convicted of (1) money laundering, fraud, and other white collar financial crimes, (2) lying to law enforcement, and (3) killing or causing harm to brown people. Gee, what precedent could tRump be trying to set here?

Schiff: "If you lie to cover up for the President, you get a pardon. If you are a corrupt politician who endorsed Trump, you get a pardon. If you murder civilians while at war, you get a pardon.

“…if you elect a corrupt man as President of the U.S., you get corruption.”

Maybe he’s really saying “Le Tits Now, Le Tits Now, Le Tits Now”.

Don’t know about anyone else, but to me, Winslow has always been the real optimist of this strip.

My area will go into 2021 without having had a measurable snowfall. (a slight dusting about 6 weeks ago doesn’t count.)

This is not normal.

Back in Indiana there was a pizza place that had on it’s sign after a big storm, “Let it snow. Let it snow. Let it snow.” Then underneath it read, “Someplace else. Someplace else. Someplace else.”

When it’s a little warmer, I often let it rain.
