Too bad HEnry Payne likes lying more than the truth. So Hank, wanta paint something about all of the rapproacment activities of the GOP? I thought not.
It’s not a battle, you dope, it’s a process of holding a president accountable when he commits crimes against the Constitution he took an oath to protect.
Sheesh! Payne neither knows how to draw an elephant nor how to spell “Trump”, though it doesn’t surprise me that he wants to run roughshod over the “Democrats”.
Democrats riding impeachment on the back of RINOs is the point of this cartoon, I think… problem is there are really 197 RINOs not 10…The 10 are what one would call, er, I dunno, maybe, “sane”?
I see no contradiction in healing and uniting the nation while at the same time prosecuting those suspected of wrongdoing. And removing from political life those convicted of the higher offences.
In fact, I find the latter (prosecuting) as a necessary condition for the former (uniting and healing), since there is no possibility of finding a common ground for those who incited and carried out the attack on the Capitol building.
The thing is, you often can’t tell if someone is really stupid, or just intentionally obtuse for the sake of his followers. I’ve had the same question about some of the pro-Trump media types, like O’Reilly or Hannity…although in the latter case I suspect it’s a choice between obtuse and evil.
Mr. Payne insists on behaving like a frolicking idiot: It is not a “battle of impeachment”, it is a DUTY TO IMPEACH. The legislative branch has a DUTY to be a control on the executive branch. If a member or members of the executive branch break the law (high crimes and misdemeanors) it is the responsibility of the legislative branch to maintain the rule of law.
If Pelosi ignored the multiple, massive infractions, you would then be quite correct in bringing it to public attention. She is in the legislative branch. Joe Biden is in the executive branch; he has no part in impeaching or convicting White House mice, much less Trump. I suspect you are just pissing in the soup in the hopes that nobody will go near enough to examine it.
Face it. Anyone dumb enough to vote for Agent Orange is way too stupid to understand why Trump needed to be impeached even though he’s leaving office. They think he deserves the Nobel peace prize.
No healing without accountability and punishment for the crimes committed. Including the reconnaissance tours given by the GOP congress critters and their staffs. Those congressional traitors should be expelled, tried and incarcerated. The others tried and incarcerated as well. Maybe an execution or three.
Sure, Trump should not be punished because he is leaving anyway… and the Trumpers who have been so focused upon division suddenly think they deserve to be coddled?
Note that as soon as Republicans are caught dead to rights and pinned to the mat, they start whining about healing and avoiding further divisiveness. Let them up and let them off and they’ll be back breaking laws ASAP. I hope that Democrats have finally learned this lesson and don’t stop until miscreants are brought before the law.
Tsk! Henry, Henry. Why not a cartoon about how the GOP is losing its donors? You see, they’re on the nose with lots of people. Healing from cancer involves removal of the tumor and ongoing treatment to ensure it doesn’t come back.
Let’s not prosecute former Nazis (end of WW2) & risk alienating “good” Germans. Let’s not push racial equality too hard for fear of alienating racists.

Republicans need a 12 Step program. First step is to admit they have a problem. Haven’t seen that yet.

For Payne, healing is letting Trump off the hook for his many crimes.
Ignatz Premium Member over 3 years ago
How come nobody demands that REPUBLICANS compromise for the sake of “unity”?
Unity requires that both sides agree that crimes are crimes.

“Now is the time… to heal.”
And the first step in healing is removing the infection.
Impeachment is a start, but conviction is needed.

Hey, Hank. The executive branch, for obvious reasons, has nothing to do with the impeachment process. Leave good ole Joe out of this, you scribbler.

I’m not the first, and I won’t be the last, but you heal a malignancy with surgery, chemotherapy, and radiation.
The impeachment is merely a biopsy, done to define the extent of future work.

Sorry Henry the time for Unity was BEFORE the GOP lead Traitors killed people and ransacked the Capitol.

First we must get rid of the disease, cut out the infection, remove the tumor of conservatism which is the enemy of the U.S. Then we can heal.
