Mike Luckovich for January 03, 2021

“We didn’t start the fire” say the brazen arsonists …

Sadly, even convicted criminals have been elected in the US.

C is for crony, that’s good enough for me!

Ever wonder what the country would be like if we had a Senate that was working for all of us and not just the 1%… one way to find out Georgia, “a nation turns its lonely eyes to you”

What cookie jars? These? No, they’re mittens. Trump mittens.

I find it amazing that, almost invariably, everything the GOP accuses the Democrats of perpetrating is actually something they’ve already done, many times over, unashamedly.

K-K-Kelly!

right out of the Fascist playbook…accuse the opponent of being what you are guilty of

Cookie Monster protests this attack on his reputation.

It will be interesting to see just how many vote against their own best interest. If history is any guide, it will be a lot but with some luck not enough.

The two are just slinging what they think will be the scariest insults: “Save America from Socialism!!!” Why doesn’t anyone worry about saving America from Fascism? Authoritarianism? Demagoguery?

The tax shelter for the 1%, that Kelly Loeffler runs in the Cayman Islands, will be under new scrutiny…..

Oh, you give the Muppets a bad name by comparing THEM to Perdue and Loeffler!

Damn shame that political parties are not actually run by the people that they’re supposed to represent.

@Durak :

From that anti-capitalist rag (/sarc), The Economist:

In approximately three weeks’ time, Republicans are likely to become overwhelmingly concerned with the federal deficit and the national debt (which ballooned during the Trump administration). This will be the main cudgel used to clobber Mr Biden’s policy ambitions. Indeed, this is likely to be the final round of stimulus if Democrats fail to flip two Senate seats in Georgia, which will be decided by a run-off election on January 5th.

In the ideal version of American politics, economic-recovery legislation would be proportionate to crisis indicators, not the partisan affiliations of elected officeholders. [emphasis added] Hunger and housing insecurity need to start subsiding before the need for additional support to households is ruled out. As the year of lost learning for many American pupils starts to register in standardised-test results, a programme of tutoring to make up lost ground may be necessary. In reality, the rapidly constructed European-style safety-net is time-limited. Covid-19 has highlighted, again, how desirable it would be to for stimulus measures to kick in automatically when the economy is weak. The seven months of will-they-won’t-they brinkmanship make the current approach suboptimal. But Congress has managed to pass a stimulus, while also showing how poverty might be reduced in future. That is something to cheer.

Even the cookie jars aren’t the REAL McCOYS . . . .they’re reproductions.

Socialism won’t let capitalism steal all of the cookies.

I get the hand in the cookie jar thread but how did this discussion turn into electing criminals?

And hopefully trump will be another one of them!

Just about average for REPUBLICANS!

Everyone knows the Democrats are shape-shifting, green-skinned lizard-like pedophiles from a distant planet who wish to subdue you and take away your guns and freedoms so let’s all vote Republican and bring sanity back to America.

It’s not too late to help:
