Clay Jones for August 22, 2022

GQPists create conspiracy theories out of ANY (and NO) thing. The inflation reduction act probably does get a little more attention because you know, DA‍M‍NED DEMOCRATS, but they come up with plenty all by themselves.

Did you know that you can’t spell DemoCRaT without CRT?

Ban cowfart? Poor cows

More conspiracy theories please.

No republican conspiracy theory will be as rational as any of these.

Sexy M&M already a dude. Oh wait, you mean the green one. Never mind.

A partial list of the LIEs the Republican Party of Trump will allege about this legislation.

The Base continues to fight like hell to prevent billionaires from being taxed.

Not Train!!!!!

This is really LOL funny Mr. Jones. It really makes the GOP look totally silly.

“Crudités”? That’s our specialty in Pennsylvania, thanks to the Wizard of Oz. It’ll be a pleasure sending him back to New Jersey.

Like any republican would ever say that Deshaun Watson is a bad person.

Loads of steaming man-re, I mean, conspiracies! And the MAGA enablers have hardly plumbed the depths of Numerology for interesting bunkum. They need to find an unethical, creative Numerologist, as in the fictional character, Dr. Joshua Matrix, created by Martin Gardner in “Scientific American.” Matrix is dead, but surely there are comparable charlatans to replace him.

The Conspiracy Theories shown here are FAR too sane as compared to what the Reich-Wingnuts have been spewing in “real” life…

Clay drew his RW colleagues!

“Raises taxes on the middle class”—Varvel

“It turns the sexy M&M into a dude”- Payne

“Armed IRS agents will audit Lemonade stands”- All of them but Bok stands out

“Schools will force children to memorize Its Raining Men”- Benson

“Trans Lacrosse players teaching CRT” – Lester

At what shade does the test!cle tanning tax take effect? No test!cle tanning tax without representation! Remember the Boston Tea Party? Well, now we can do some REAL Tea-Bagging!

If a Democrat takes a breath it kicks off a dozen conspiracy theories. Distraction, delusion, and denial are some of the main tools in the repugs toolbox.

GOP will think of anything to deflect, investigate, lie, and whine…it’s because they never have anything else worth while and relevant….

I love this cartoon. Altho’ I have never heard of It’s Raining Men nor Train, I wish I’d never heard of either. :-(

A theory is a proposition made to be tested by evidence, experimentation, and facts. If the proposition is borne out by evidence, experimentation, and facts it can be presumed true. If the proposition is not borne out by evidence, experimentation, and facts it can be presumed false, and is, therefore, immediately elevated to a plank in the Republican platform. /s

The Republicans will either have to move left or lose the middle ground of their party. They can’t win with nothing but the MAGAts, and even the MAGAts will have to wake up and smell the coffee once they no longer have Trump to blind them. Faux news is demonstrating that. They have realized that keeping up the hoax is no longer a viable option. Republicans in congress will gradually realize that they are fighting a losing battle and they will need to jump ship to get reelected. At the present time, they only stay in power by lying and cheating in any way they can. When people are given a choice of two statements on issues that actually affect their everyday life, one that describes the Republican position and the other the Democrat’s, the Democratic position is chosen by about 85% of Democrats and Independents. No surprise there. The weird part is that just under half of Republicans also choose Democrat positions, unless they are told which position is supported by each party. Then they fall into line and choose the Republican option- 78% of the time. So, it is entirely reasonable for Republicans to lie a lot. The people running the Republican party are in that half of the Republicans who actually believe in Republican positions. They are roughly 25% of the voting public. They have no chance of ever winning a national election unless they keep as many people as possible from voting and keep the rest of them confused enough to vote against their own best interests.

Ele Fink lies about everything all of the time.

This comic is brillian. Thanks for the monday moanin’ chuckle.

I also got a good laugh out loud moment with this one. Thanks!!

The people who threw mask tantrums at Target stores now want to have a civil war to defend a reality TV host star who stole classified nuclear documents.

A great comic!!! Thanks, Clay.

People, I know I’m probably preaching to the choir here, but it is very, very important that everyone vote in the midterms. Otherwise these Trumpublican cynical opportunist kleptocratic nut jobs will take over the legislature and will remain in office forever. May be too late already, but we’ve got to try.

“Republicans were far more likely to believe fake news and make judgments based on intuition rather than facts” [http://journal.sjdm.org/16/16305/jdm16305.html].

Fully intentional consequences from the folks that bring you lunacy at the expense of doing the peoples’ business.

Wait…you mean all those things ain’t true?

“I wish they’d turn up at my home, ‘cause they’d have gone home in a body bag.”— FL GOP congressional candidate Martin Hyde, on the FBI

Trump hired cronies to search top-secret docs he believed would erase ‘stain’ of his impeachment: former NYT reporter

“I think in the last chaotic days of the Trump administration, Donald Trump was desperate for documents that he thought would somehow absolve him of the offenses for which he was impeached and criminally investigated,” Weiner told the host. “I think that he believes that there is some smoking gun in the classified archives of the government that will somehow cleanse him and allow him to run again, that will provide him with political leverage.”

“Whether these documents are, in fact, helpful to the president or not is immaterial! He has no right to have them, they are the property of the American people, not a twice-impeached former president,” he added.

“You talk about what he did prior to leaving office and who he put in certain places. Why is that important here?” host Berman pressed.

“That’s right,” the journalist replied. “In the last year of his administration, President Trump put unqualified loyalists at the top of the intelligence community and the Pentagon, and he wanted them to rifle through the classified files in search of documents, which he believed would somehow cleanse him of the stain of his impeachments and of the counterintelligence investigation, the FBI launched six full years ago against Donald Trump and his inner circle.”

“These documents may or may not be what he was looking for,” he added. “In other words, he wanted his own set of secret files that he thought would be political ammunition and I believe that’s what’s in those boxes.”
