Rall’s uncredited paraphrasing of Martin Niemöller’s classic comment following World War II is helpful in pointing out the irresponsibility of so many people when it came to and continues to come to holding politicians and bureaucrats to account. Rall’s use of “impeach” in other contexts also helpful in that it is meant to remind citizens that we each have a citizen’s duty to see that politicians and bureaucrats do not cheapen and vitiate our citizenship. Not only is each and every citizen’s apathy a betrayal of their duty as a citizen, but our collective apathy in ignoring individual apathy is doubly shameful and shameless. When it comes to the betrayal of our duty as Americans, we are all guilty.
Frederick Theodore Rall, III keeping it real in 2021. Seriously Ted, see an optometrist. They craft clear lenses. You shouldn’t have to rely Coke bottle bottoms, they’re distortive.
Sorry, I don’t get this one. I get the reference, but I don’t see how it makes any sense to use it on impeachment. Add to that the noise Republicans are making about impeaching Harris & Biden & Pelosi, which is not part of this cartoon, and I’m left simply befuddled.

Panel 3 is BS, no one is getting impeached because they are spineless tools.

What senator was impeached?

Senators cannot be impeached. They can only be expelled by a 2/3rd vote.

Somehow I think Niemoller would have found this funny.

Theodore, I just re-signed as a paying member, so that you can afford to do better than this. Now, start bettering!

Ted never says anything unless it is to complain that Biden is not Bernie. He is that far above it all!

Senators aren’t subject to impeachment, either.

Don’t overwork your brain, it knows no panacea. Just turn on the tv or read the sports section.

Not sure that I got the exact point here, but it made me laugh out loud. Whatever.
