Mike Luckovich for February 04, 2021

Looney Tunes have always made a certain amount of sense: Internally consistent, at least. And they’re amusing. The GOP: Not so much.

“You’re……dith-PICK-able!”

With the G.O.P., people with courage and moral codes are traitors and should be cast out of the party!

Bugs and Daffy decided that showing up for the GOP was beneath them.

At least the cartoons made sense and had a purpose, unlike republicans.

They look a heckuva lot saner than those idiots in D.C. who think they are the GOP which could stand for Go Away Please.

GOP is now the party of anti-democratic right wing extremists like Mittens and totally batcrap crazies like Green. Obama was the last moderate republican.

That’s all, Folks!

Uh-oh….. Fflashbang ain’t gonna like THIS!

Frankly, I’m surprised they included the Road Runner — usually innocent, minds its own business, and lets the coyote destroy himself.

Mint Money tries to come across as another “I’m just like you” rich guy. Don’t we all have multiple houses? Don’t we all have a stylish wife who campaigned in a great looking t-shirt that a lot of women ran out to buy after seeing her in it? – right up until they found out her t-shirt cost over… $900! Jest like us!

Each passing day has the Republican Party more and more indistinguishable from violent extremist religious cults like Al-Qaeda, ISIS and the Taliban. They are the means by which unstable governments — like ours — are toppled and their people terrorized by a minority of raving lunatics.

Thanks Mike, i smiled. Sarcasm doesn’t help.

Waiting for “That’s All Folks” and a return to sanity.

I like the subtle imagery of Yosemite Sam being the one to call him a weirdo.

The GOP is the political equivalent of the frog who got cooked in a pot of hot water. Somewhere along the line they became oblivious to the warning signs, and now it’s too late.

Tweety is as mad as Marvin.

Which one, ah say, Which one is Foghorn?

QOP.

Ain’t that the truth.

Where’s MJT in there?

Oops. Meant Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Sorry. I loved these characters when growing up. Cannot agree they resemble in any way those crackpots in the GOP.

I resent, I say I resent the implications of this cartoon!

Sorry, but the Looney Toons were ALWAYS much saner then the Republican Party.

Although I will admit that the later incarnation of Daffy Duck was getting close to the level of pure malicious evil that the GOP is now exhibiting… he was greedy, cheap, manipulating, and without a shred of empathy.

Oh Mitt, we hardly knew ye. Who knew that 8 years later you would be the paradigm of Republican virtue?

Just a reminder who’s TRULY responsible for today’s …

 New World Record in Ball Dropping

2020-01-07 • Presidential Daily Brief: “Analysts concluded [coronavirus] could be a cataclysmic event.” • Trump did nothing.

2020-03-11 • WHO declared a global pandemic.

2020-04-15 • Trump suspended US funding of WHO.

2021-02-04 • US coronavirus deaths: 462,022 (56 weeks after PDB; 8250/week)

 For comparison …

1941-12-07 • Pearl Harbor attack: 2,403

2001-09-11 • terrorist attacks: 2,977 (5 weeks after PDB warned Bush about it)

Korean War (33,686) + Vietnam War (58,220) + Afghan War (7,970): 99,876

WW1: 116,516 (83 weeks for US; 1403/week)

WW2: 418,500 (195 weeks for US; 2146/week)

Civil War: ~620,000 (213 weeks; 2911/week)

Spanish flu: ~675,000 (~117 weeks; 5769/week)

Rather a shame the Capital Rioters didn’t have Marvin the Martian’s Illudium Q-36 Explosive Space Modulator, isn’t it? That “Democracy in action” taking place in the Capital was blocking their view of autocracy. /s

I think he is one of the few sane people in government

Kind of interesting (in a scary way) watching American values on display. Not sure the rest of the world can look up to America after all this.

Where’s the wabbit?

I keep reading that the former GOP is in a war to find it’s soul. It had a soul? It was bunch of rich white guys only now being invaded by a bunch of trumper Q nuts over $$$, power and the desire of many for a do-over of 1865-77 reconstruction.

This is beyond the imagination of Bob Clampett and the others. Well, it’s kind of like a fusion of Yosemite Sam, Wiley Coyote, and the baby hawk. Only several orders of magnitude worse.

Great imagery! Love it!

Past time for the GOP to purge itself of its lunatic fringe, if it wants to survive…

Cartoons are funny, republicans are a horror show.

(Apologies to Warner Bros. Animation)

No, he’s the only sane one…

“Send in the Clowns…Never mind…”

Glad to see Bugs Bunny omitted from this group. He was always on the left, for the little guy.

Unfair…since anyone of those Tunes would be a better choice than 90% of the Republican caucus.

In the great toilet which is the GOP, Mitt’s virtue is to be merely liquid waste in a sea of solids.

You’ve slandered those poor Loony Tunes characters. Including Repulsican Crime Cult members in their circle is malicious and degrading. WE’ll SUE! It’s the only tool Repulsicans seem to understand.

…and with Marjorie Taylor Greene as “Daffy Duck”…

Poor Mitt… His cult-like religion no longer makes him odd-man-out. (Forgive me, all my cousins who a members of the LDS Church, and my aunt and uncle.)

Notice the witch is a blond. I wonder who she’s supposed to be? /s.

Except for the fact that Looney Tunes were funny. Where the GOP is just slightly South of ridiculous.

Then: It’s not easy being green! Now: It’s not easy being Mitt!

Watch out Mitch — Jewish banker lasers will be soon raining upon you.

I thought I saw Carlson and Hannity in there.

None of those characters was ever stupid enough to be a MAGAt.

Kevin McCarthy evidently fell for every single lie Marjorie Taylor Greene told him about her true opinions, her conduct, and their timing, which raises the question about him: dupe or dope?

Hey Mike where’s Bugs?

Mike you got this so right on!!!! Perfect. Most of our us Senate are useless big mouth fools. They donot represent a majority of “We The People”. They are all about themselves!

Some suggested names for the Republican party are ReTrumplicans and QTrumplicans… Any other suggestions?

This is a major insult to Looney Tunes characters and to all of us who love them…

What, no Daffy? I was hoping to see the Egyptian god of frustration. ;-)
