Not as clever as the “Big Tent” image yesterday that was about the size of half a cat carrier.

…as long as you’re a rich white guy…

Kevin McCarthy lives in California. We have lots of hot air balloons.

And he lives in one of the biggest hot air balloons in this state.

If you live inside of it you think it is a really big tent. Just keep deep inhales inside the tent Kevin, like you have been doing.

That clown car stops by Ringleader Trumpie and more and more GQP Congress folk pour out.

Brilliant cartoon craft.

It’s hard to believe that this man still has the REPULSIVECANS in his grip like a python! What the hell are they scared of?? I understand that they’re mostly for big business but again, why would they want to admire a business failure??

Another hot air balloon.

How are they going to fit that into a jail cell?

Their clown car is parked in the back.

Cheney says some GOP members voted against impeachment out of fear for their lives

“If you look at the vote to impeach, for example, there were members who told me that they were afraid for their own security — afraid, in some instances, for their lives,” she said. “And that tells you something about where we are as a country, that members of Congress aren’t able to cast votes, or feel that they can’t, because of their own security.”

GOP Rep. Doug Lamborn let his son live in a storage unit in the US Capitol basement for weeks, lawsuit claims

Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado at the Capitol in 2019. House Television via APA lawsuit claims a GOP congressman’s son lived in a basement storage space in the Capitol.

An ex-staffer is suing Rep. Doug Lamborn’s office, alleging retaliation over his December firing.

The lawsuit also accuses the Colorado lawmaker of dangerously flouting COVID-19 safety protocols.

A lawsuit from a former staffer says GOP Rep. Doug Lamborn of Colorado allowed his son to live in a storage unit in the basement of the US Capitol for a few weeks.

The former staffer, Brandon Pope, made the claim in a lawsuit first reported by NBC Washington, but it remains unclear when the alleged incident occurred.

The lawsuit says Lamborn “gave his son the necessary access to live in a storage area in the basement of the U.S. Capitol for a period of weeks when Lamborn’s son relocated to Washington, D.C. for work.”

FOX News (And Trump) Whines that Trump Didn’t Get Credit for the Vaccine that They Say Kills People

But only cult followers are allowed in, or to remain…

My neck hurts from shaking my head so much about this issue.

The tent includes sleazeballs like Gaetz and unhinged crazies like MTG. Those are some scary clowns.

Trump and his sycophants have started to adhere to the policy of Zaphod Beeblebrox; (paraphrasing)“if there’s anything bigger than my ego in this party I want it hunted down and eliminated”.

A suspected white supremacist is facing charges after allegedly ditching a bullet-riddled car containing three dead men in the parking lot of an Albuquerque hospital this week," The Daily Beast reported Saturday. "Richard Kuykendall, a 41-year-old with an “apparent association” with the Aryan Brotherhood prison gang, was charged Friday with being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm and ammunition for his role in the Wednesday triple homicide, according to a criminal complaint filed Friday in the U.S. District Court for New Mexico."

It has to be big to contain all the BS left over from the previous administration.

The Republican Party may be “a tent”, but they’re not attentive.

Like any tent, it is intended to be temporary, its anchors are temporary, it cannot stand up to rough weather, and it can’t be trusted as a shelter. In other words, its integrity is highly questionable.
