It’s a neat trick. You have to be self effacing enough to not put their hackles up. And you have to be able to convince rabid self promoters to go along with a group of (un)like-minded individuals. Fortunately (he might think), a lot of them have fallen under the spell of the same grifter. But I think he’s in trouble.

It’s easy! Just grab them by the pu$$y, Kevin!

The Sicknick family ignored McCarthey and McConnell at a medal ceremony for the late policeman who was killed due to the Jan 6 insurrection. Another death on Trump and the republicans.

What that man needs is a border collie. You know the shepherds direct the dogs through loud, high-pitched whistling. How is Steve Scalise’s hearing?

Lunch !

Some cats are just feral.

A pit of snakes would be a better analogy.

That crook looks like it would fit around the neck of Mouse McCarthy. I wonder if he knows they were told they were getting mouseburgers?

mccarthy is just another trump disciple!

LOL!

Cats aren’t mangy enough.

Excellent!

A passel of polecats.

An insult to cats. I’d go with worms.

Sorry, Mike, but that depiction of McCarthy is too cute and friendly. The Rat in this case should be drawn to portray the dirty, rabid, pestilence Kevin McCarthy actually brings to the Republican Party.

I deeply resent the use of cats to portray the fascist, insurrectionist slimeballs of the right. Cats are wonderful animals who serve a purpose in their sphere of life and bring great comfort to those who care for them. In no way does that description resemble the filthy scum who have spent the last years trying to destroy democracy, harm anyone vulnerable and enrich themselves at the expense of decent people.

Considering his traitorous behavior regarding 1/6 and the committee it is no wonder that the Sicknick family and the Capitol Police who were at the Capitol on 1/6 refused to shake his hand. Try to just picture McCarty rolled in catnip before trying to woo those GQP cats

It will be a surprise if the Republicans actually propose and pass any meaningful legislation before the 2024 elections.

No, No, no. It’s the Democrats that are like herding cats. Republicans fall in line like obedient little Nazis. With only a few exceptions for most of them there is literally nothing a repug won’t support if his dear leader tells him to.

Did the little feller say “lunch”?

This is a vile slur against cats. Come to think of it, against rats as well.

Be a shoe-in if trump demands it.

Yeah, but McCarthy’s cats are all rabid.

Rats have more integrity.

Slander on cats.

If the image of the cats offends cat lovers just consider it like their depiction in Maus. I like cats but find that acceptable to say the very least

The Republicans are actually more organized than the Democrats. The Democrats have an established party platform, which at least two, usually more, of them ignore on several issues. The Republicans have no established platform because they can’t afford to let the general public know what they actually stand for. They would lose a lot of their voters if they actually understood what they were voting for. But, the ones elected to congress understand, or at least ( Hershal Walker is the best example, even unelected) are willing to very reliably vote as they are told in exchange for — well, I’m not sure of their motivation, but they do it.

He’s a vile human being trying to hold power over other vile human beings that want power over him. Its his choice to pursue that position and he deserves what he’s going to get.

Thanks for this laugh!

Unfortunately, Americans are now going to get what’s coming to them.

Good and hard.

I heard someone make the analogy that given the slim margins and the fact that both the freedom caucus and moderate Republicans will be trying to influence policy Kevin McCarthey’s job is like trying to herd cat on fire.

What great artwork!! LOLOL

Good luck with that!
