Jack Ohman for December 20, 2021

For Manchin, more and more obviously, the most important thing is to support the GOP agenda.

The question is … is it more important to protect an oft-amended senate tradition of the filibuster that is not in the Constitution at the expense of the voting rights that ARE in the Constitution and the foundation of our democracy on which everything else, or is it acceptable to let voting rights die to protect an outdated tradition that was invented to protect Jim Crow and which has been repeatedly been amended?

Because you know that if the party power alignment were reversed, Mitch McMoscow would not hesitate to carve out an exception for any pet preference he had in mind, as he has already done several times.

They say democracy dies in darkness, but on this eve of the winter solstice, the darkest day of the year, democracy is being MURDERED IN BROAD DAYLIGHT.

Looks like some Sinemanchinanigans to me!

The absolutely ONLY way to get congress to do anything is to get rid of that dam filibuster!!!

Trump would never do that. He’d have someone else do that for him, it’s his bone spurs ya’ know.

At least bring back the “real” filibuster. Just like the one that Jefferson Smith did.

Vote the Democrats a filibuster proof majority and make the two of them irrelevant.

that’s almost as bad as when Trump was hugging the American flag. Lascivious was he. One felt like retching for America its honor debased.

That tornado that hit Kentucky might’ve done more good in D. C.

That’s right! The first, and most important rule of the senate is: Trump Rules!

Great ‘toon! Let’s go Adolph!

Senate rules worked for Robert Byrd. The current master parliamentarian is Mitch McConnell.

Sadly accurate AGAIN, Jack!!

You are dealing with terrorists.. stop.

It’s true. If we don’t preserve the Senate rules, then we can’t refuse to use them when we’re the minority party again.

What Sinema and Manchin don’t seem to realize is that if the repubs are allowed to count the votes, they could be out of a job.

Moscow Mitch has some competition in Moscow Manchin.

Montana Swill is laughably stupid and contemptibly dishonest, yet he is not insane. Whereas KE is laughably stupid, contemptibly dishonest, AND insane. So we wonder which of the two is trying harder…..

Faithless Right wingers are a real terror.
