Al Goodwyn Editorial Cartoons by Al Goodwyn for January 02, 2023

Some haven’t been sworn in yet and they want to impeach Biden already they just don’t know what for.

It’s a real shame there’s no adult to knock their heads together and make some hard and fast rules about ethics and civil service.

I miss the old days where certain concepts were practiced by the majority of congress – one being ‘debate and compromise’. Things had a tendency to work out.

The idiots need to be reminded that they were hired to run the country and we need to remind idiots that ‘run’ does not have an ʻiʻ in it.

What could symbolize ‘getting along’ better than running on a platform of investigating Hunter’s laptop?

The repubs are acting like petulant children who want to get back at those who made the Rump look bad by exposing his criminal behaviour. They have no other platform. How does anyone expect any cooperation from them?

Uncle Al practices the “Both Sides” trope when history shows that it’s mainly one side that practices obstructionism as its main platform founded by Newt “Gingrinch” and his “Contract on America”.

I’m enjoying the popcorn I get to eat while the GOP eats itself from within or just implodes outright.

As if Goodwyn cares.

IMPEACH HUNTER BIDEN’S LAPTOP!

Vengeful idiots‼️

SOME of WE THE PEOPLE are electing incompetent, non qualifying loons, nuts, LIARS, and wack jobs!

OH MY‼️

Our congress is so dysfunctional, it’s no wonder Lady Liberty is in dire need of GOOD COMPETENT, LOYAL members!

The fact that the Republican’s majority is razor thin usually would require a strong Speaker to keep them in line and moving forward.

McCarthy will be the antithesis of a strong speaker. The result will be nothing will get done for the American people.

‘Old news’: Conservative explains why ‘people have finally gotten bored’ with Trump

“It was a horrible year for Trump in 2022,” Lewis added. “Maybe he rebounds, but for the first time, I think he’s starting to look old and not just old in age, but old news.”

Trump proudly touts hit list of Republicans he drove out of office

First on the list, Trump named several outgoing or already out-of-office Republican senators who spoke critically of him to varying degrees throughout his presidency — Sens. Bob Corker (R-TN), Jeff Flake (R-AZ), Ben Sasse (R-NE), Pat Toomey (R-PA), and Richard Burr (R-NC). Republicans no longer even control all of these seats as a result; Flake was ultimately replaced by now-independent Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, while Toomey will be succeeded by Democrat John Fetterman.

Trump then listed off a number of members of Congress he takes credit for defeating or forcing into retirement, including several who voted to impeach him after the January 6 attack.

On that list were Reps. Liz Cheney (R-WY), Adam Kinzinger (R-IL), Tom Rice (R-SC), Peter Meijer (R-MI), Jaime Hererra Beutler (R-WA), Fred Upton (R-MI), Anthony Gonzalez (R-OH), John Katko (R-NY), Justin Amash (I-MI), and Mark Sanford (R-SC). Some of these lawmakers didn’t leave entirely due to Trump — Kinzinger and Upton’s seats were redrawn in unfavorable ways, for instance — and several, like Meijer and Hererra Beutler, will now be replaced by Democrats.

Finally, the former president named two anti-Trump Republican governors he claimed to have defeated, but his claim in both cases is questionable.

He listed Gov. John Kasich (R-OH), a Republican who crossed the aisle to back Biden for president in 2020, who wasn’t defeated at all but simply reached his term limit in 2018; and Gov. Charlie Baker (R-MA), who retired from office extremely popular and will be succeeded by Democrat Maura Healey.

And then there was all of those republicans Trump killed with covid disinformation.

Republicans Are Still Trying To Rewrite the Constitution, Even if Trump Can’t Get It Terminated

Emails reveal it was well-known Trump would call for a march on the Capitol by Jan. 2

Republicans are usually the provocateurs. It’s unfortunate that they have to, but I’m glad that Democrats are starting to fight back (a little) instead of just standing there waiting to be slammed with misinformation and straight-up lies.

Panel #5 looks like Andy Capp in the pub.
