I wonder what would happen if I posted a cartoon of myself killing MY congresscritter, who is a Republican. Probably get a visit from the FBI and have to start looking for a new job.
Mike’s dream is to one day publish a comic where all Congressional Democrats are beheaded in front of the Capital. His many fans will then dream of making his toon a reality. There will be cheers of “Great ’toon, Mike!”
So, let the market decide without governmental interference applies only when Republicans are in charge? This cheap shot of a turkey contradicts that thought. What is Congress to do when we have private supply chains especially when the opposition continues to block action?
Pretty simple here. You shouldn’t post videos of yourself violently attacking a coworker. Pretty sure 99.9% of the business community would apply some sort of penalty or just fire you outright. You can try to deflect and point fingers at the other side, but if you strip away your political leaning here I find it hard to believe that any caring person would think otherwise.
Hey Michael, I love how your character appears to have a huge hole in the side of her head and is talking out of the side of her mouth, very appropriate. Can’t wait to see your cartoon over the debt ceiling hostage crisis.
I know I’m going to get a lot of criticism for this. But this is much ado about nothing. Now we’ve given the guy the attention he was seeking. I would rather congress focus their time and efforts on achieving something of tangible worth (who am I kidding)
remember how your panties got in a bunch when there was a picture of trumpies head cut off. It was the end of the world.Hypocrite thy name is every republican traitor.
hey mikie…. i thought of a kool video of you riding in the back of a convertible presidential limo in Dallas on a sunny November day.. and just as you got to Deally Plaza and made the turn……….
…DISCLAIMER …. the above was for comparative purposes only….but just think how a video like that would make you feel…NO ONE deserves that….not AOC not anyone..the video was just plain TERRIBLE… not that any RepublicanS will say so…COWARDS
Even more idiotic is that he doubled down on it. I’m sure the conservatives will admire him for standing up for his rights. I still think we’re giving him way too much attention.
It isn’t the cartoon, it’s the fact that a United States Congressman has the mentality and maturity of a five year old. It’s that the right thinks killing his opponent is easier than debate. It’s the fact that the GOP is a fascist organization fully owned and operated by the Uber-wealthy. We’re in deep shit here and there is no cavalry coming over the hill to save us.
Kathy Griffin had a (I thought tasteless) picture holding a pumpkin carved with Trump’s head with red paint on the bottom like it had been severed. Trump had her charged with a death threat to the president and sent Homeland Security after her. As a result she spent months and had to hire (and pay) for attorneys. She also lost all her bookings and had to start her career back up from nothing. So it is illegal for a Democrat who is a COMMEDIAN to lampoon a president in bad taste, but perfectly acceptable by a Republican U.S. CONGRESSMAN and being censored is just Democrats being prima-donnas. Got it.

You got that right! “There is no shortage of turkeys in our senate!!!”

Maybe we should use Swans instead of Turkeys? Just like Comrade Kim Jong Un is going to do?

In any other workplace, Gosar would have been fired. Congress SHOULD be a normal workplace.

How about gocomics? Isn’t there plenty of violence on the site? Oh man, I am so banned from the site!

I would be fired from my job if I posted a video like that with my coworkers. Human Resources 101…this fosters a hostile work environment.

Gosar posts hus tweet, hoping and praying that it will inspire someone to carry it out. He learned much from Trump.

Ramirez proves once again that he is completely out of touch with reality.

I’d like to see Gosar chop Ramirez’s head in his next video, maybe that won’t be so “idiotic.”
NeedaChuckle Premium Member over 2 years ago
Hey, I’ll bet Ramirez supports Kyle Rittenhouse executing people for protesting too.
Alberta Oil Premium Member over 2 years ago
One can hardly blame Michael for defending Gosar right to incite violence/rebellion.. after all it’s how he makes his living as well.

Mike, when an actual cartoonist works it comes out looking like this:

If they’re going to bust a member for posting tasteless cartoons, should they also bust a member for sleeping with enemy spies?

I’ll go with Ramirez that it is an idiotic tweet. And he should be penalized for it.
