Clay Jones for January 18, 2021

Considering the political trends, that seems quite possible. Though i hope we’ve learned a little something about who is good at being a President… Not someone with a number of bankruptcies. Not a person who has no political experience (and more to the point: a track record in politics that we can all examine). Not someone who has been caught lying on many (MANY) occasions. And not someone who owes serious money outside the USA.

Well…maybe he likes the idea that he has done something more than anyone else..ever…bigly.

Not to worry, he lives in his own reality. The truth hasn’t a chance against him.

Yeah, probably not. Unless, we can keep impeaching Trump for the many crimes he hasn’t been impeached for after he’s out of office. After all, this one was started before he was out, but Moscow Mitch had to use the last days of his power to obstruct justice, in order to keep a dangerous President in power for a few more days.

Oh Jared, you’re such a card. Everyone knows Trump is the best worst President.

Clay, I love the imaginative words that you add to his sippy cups! I wish they were real. so I could collect them!

Yesterday, I was stopped at a light…the car in front of me had a license plate…." NO MO 45" …….hysterical!

Well tRump IS the best at being the worst.

Reality has NEVER been Agolf Twitler’s closest companion, has it??

I love the sippy cup – 45th best!

And it will get better over time, 46th best after 1/20, then 47th best, etc.

Will political cartoons ever be funny again without Trump?

Presidents should only allow themselves two strikes. After that they risk being introduced by the mob to Monsieur La Guillotin. Let us pray that any future president this inept and unfit for office is smart enough to know when to resign.

t$$$p, he’s a guy who could fall into a manure pile and come up with a mouthful of manure.

(Betcha thought I was gonna say; A Rose, right?)

I’ve got all my Panda toes crossed, just hoping we get thru the next few days.

Since he considers the presidency as a hobby, little more than a game of golf, I’m sure he’s wondering what is the big deal? After all, it’s just a double-bogey, two over par.

Now it’s like the scene from Blazing Saddles. Scoundrels, treasonous weasels convicted of espionage, Klanners, Nazis, et. al. are lining up for pardons like their ilk did for the attack on the town of Rock Ridge. Trump is expected to pardon at least 100 more by noon on Wednesday.

Once, twice, three times a traitor.

Are we still at peace?

“I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” – Martin Luther King Jr.

Jared: On the bright side, just think how many more times you would have been impeached if the election wasn’t stolen from you.

Sure, maybe another Trump or former Trump official will get elected… doubt it will happen in Donald’s lifetime, though…

Worst case scenario, if the Repugnantklan senators don’t vote to convict, maybe tanTrump can try again to beat his personal best in his 2024 term…

Trump lives by the saying “I don’t care what you say about me, just so you spell my name right.”

I expected to see flames coming out of The Capitol Building in the background . . . .

It’s possible. Aren’t Ivanka and Don Jr. thinking of runninig?

He’s number one AND number two.

right-wing populists?:

Conservative pundit George F. Will: "The three repulsive architects of Wednesday’s heartbreaking spectacle — mobs desecrating the Republic’s noblest building and preventing the completion of a constitutional process — must be named and forevermore shunned. They are Donald Trump, and Sens. Josh Hawley and Ted Cruz.Trump lit the fuse for the riot in the weeks before the election, with his successful effort to delegitimize the election in the eyes of his supporters. But Wednesday’s explosion required the help of Hawley (R-Mo.) and Cruz (R-Tex.).Hawley announced his intention to object to the certification of some states’ electoral votes, for no better reason than that there has been an avalanche of “allegations” of election irregularities, allegations fomented by the loser of the election. By doing so, Hawley turned what should have been a perfunctory episode in our civic liturgy of post-election civility into a synthetic drama. He turned this moment into the focus of the hitherto unfocused fury that Trump had been stoking for many weeks. And Cruz, by organizing support for Hawley among other Republican senators and senators-elect gave Hawley’s grotesque self-promotion an ersatz cloak of larger purpose. Shortly before the mob breached the Senate chamber, Cruz stood on the Senate floor. With his characteristic unctuousness, he regretted the existence of what he and kindred spirits have not only done nothing to refute but have themselves nurtured — a pandemic of suspicions that the election was “rigged.”“I want to take a moment to speak to my Democratic colleagues,” said Cruz. “I understand your guy is winning right now.” Read those weasely words again. He was not speaking to his “colleagues.” He was speaking to the kind people who were at that instant assaulting the Capitol. He was nurturing the very delusions that soon would cause louts to be roaming the Senate chamber — the fantasy that Joe Biden has not won the election but is only winning “right now.”

And the grand finale: The Trump-Hawley-Cruz insurrection against constitutional government will be an indelible stain on the nation. They, however, will not be so permanent. In 14 days, [obviously, the column was written on the day the traitors attacked the Capitol] one of them will be removed from office by the constitutional processes he neither fathoms nor favors. It will take longer to scrub the other two from public life. Until that hygienic outcome is accomplished, from this day forward, everything they say or do or advocate should be disregarded as patent attempts to distract attention from the lurid fact of what they have become. Each will wear a scarlet “S” as a seditionist.
