Jack Ohman for January 12, 2023

We can send him to Brazil to stand trial, along with Bolsonaro.

Nothing illegal about running on a false resume; just ask Trump.

Still, the degree of “embellishment” still strongly suggests he’s in Witness Protection, but is stooopid about it.

You can be whoever you want to be. (Tiny Buddha)

If he was a democrat, he never would have been seated in the House no matter what the majority party was. But with a republican majority of course they will seat him since he is just a typical republican like they are.

Ha! Love the weathervane!

The GOP really doesn’t need him, there are plenty nut job party members available.

Props for the spot-on drawings of McCarthy and all. And an extra shout out for McCarthy’s weather vane. Very apropos.

It took McCarthy 15 tries to read the way the wind was blowing. The American public saw it after the first vote.

Whichever way the wind blows, this is Ohman at his best.

He seems to be checking all the boxes, including war hero, big game hunter, and multiple Nobel nominations. What newspapers does he read? All of them!

The depictions of the Alt-Reichers are some of the best I’ve seen. Mr. Ohman’s McClown with the weathervane is now the defacto depiction, I can’t imagine a better one.

Santos looks just fine to me. Just another republikan. What do you want? St. Francis?

If we trashed everyone in D.C. who was a bald faced liar, we’ve free up a lot of parking.

It’s being reported he is also the Prince of the Atlantic Ocean.

Another reason why Jack has that Pulitzer thing.

Just think‼️ rumple and his side kick stubby! Two peas in a pod!

The GOP are SO desperate for votes, they allow just anyone to become one of them! Notice most of them are silent…which is deafening‼️

Haven’t you heard.. he was the number one advisor on trumps team that got him elected the first time.

Great caricatures. I would like to see Kerry’s vs. McCarthy’s face, chin profiles in a faceoff, so to speak.

What fool put these ignoramuses in power?

Whata buncha jackazzez . . .

Republican-controlled US House pushes for new abortion restrictions

Republican US lawmakers passed legislation Wednesday shoring up their anti-abortion credentials — despite accusations from within their own ranks that they were out of step with more moderate public opinion on the deeply-sensitive issue. Republicans reclaimed a majority in the House of Representatives this month, giving them a handle on power in Washington for the first time since last year’s Supreme Court decision gutting federal protections for the right to abortion.

Dictator Republicans want to FORCE women to have children they don’t want.

A prominent right winger (Diamond of Diamond and Silk) has died and the inevitable cycle begins:

Posts appear, many are “less than sad” about her death.A backlash ensues and the right uses No. 1 to show how terrible “the libs” areThey are joined by “moderate” concern trolls who pounce on those who posted No. 1.

In this case, we have the added question of whether she died of COVID, because of the irony of a COVID and vaccine skeptic dying of the disease. (The “Herman Cain Awards” genre.) Well, I don’t give a s&*t if she did or didn’t.

Here’s how I feel:

I don’t celebrate her death.

I don’t care what she died of.

But her death provides an opportunity

to mourn those who died because of her lies and

show how damaging those lies are.

When Rush Limbaugh died in 2021, the usual hand-wringers like Frank Bruni asked Must We Dance on Rush Limbaugh’s Grave? My response was “I’m not dancing on his grave. I’m mourning those who died from his lies,” like claiming “staged overrunning of hospitals” and invective like calling us “mask-wearing freaks.”

Rush killed a lot of people.

Diamond is no different.

In April 2020, when tens of thousands of my neighbors in New York were dying, Diamond and Silk “questioned the death toll. They’ve questioned whether the virus is being “deliberately spread.” They’ve suggested the “Deep State” is working “behind the scenes” and that it is “engineered.”

Many who believed them infected many who never heard of them.

Those lies were stricken from Twitter (though not today, amirite Elmo!) and even got them kicked off Fox

Diamond was a committed anti-vaxxer, using her public persona to discourage people from getting vaccinated.She was on the same side as those who spread vaccine hate.

Mysterious document that may not even exist is causing ‘a trust problem’ for House GOP

On Thursday, POLITICO reported that House Republicans are in conflict with each other over a 3-page document supposedly outlining the back-room deal cut between House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) and an insurgent group who tried to block him, mostly from the ultra-right Freedom Caucus — and that furthermore, the document might not even exist at all. “Speaker Kevin McCarthy and his GOP allies insist that no back-room promises were made to land his gavel after 15 frenetic ballots, that no plum committee spots, precise spending cuts, or debt limit strategy were guaranteed in a quid pro quo,” reported Sarah Ferris and Olivia Beavers. “Agreements and goals were reached with conservatives who initially withheld their votes from the speaker, GOP leaders say, but nothing was formalized in writing.”

Wait, wait. BooBert and MTG are on the outs. remember?

The House GOP will protect and keep him. They can’t afford to lose anyone.

Aside from the excellence of the content, I appreciate the fact that Mr. Ohman is such a good artist that all the loonies on the (panel) right are identifiable without labels. Especially like the weathervane.

The GQP should proudly keep Santos – he’s their poster child.

Matt Gaetz covers for Steve Bannon’s fraud trial by calling it an ‘assignment’

Rep. Matt Gaetz (R-FL) took time out of his congressional responsibilities to host Steve Bannon’s War Room program. Gaetz hosted the show while Bannon was sitting in court over fraud charges related to his “We Build The Wall” charity scam.

It took Kevin 15 votes to get elected like it took Trump 15 flushes to destroy documents.

The Republican Party of Wackadoo’s.

McCarthy backs Santos as new reports raise alarm about campaign funds and link to ‘Ponzi scheme’

Newly seated Rep. George Santos, R-N.Y., worked for finance company Harbor City Capital which — before it shut down amid scandal — the Securities Exchange Commission described as a “classic Ponzi scheme.” And, according to court-appointed lawyers now investigating the former company’s assets, Santos received income from that company in April 2021 — at least a month longer than he claimed in his campaign filings and disclosures. Meanwhile, large-sum donors to a Santos-linked fundraising group are raising alarms over missing records. But House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., still backs the embattled congressman amid mounting formal inquiries and calls for Santos’ resignation.

Proud Boy expressed pride in being perceived as a terrorist like ‘our founding fathers’: prosecutors

During opening arguments at the Proud Boys seditious conspiracy trial, prosecutors zeroed in on messages that members of the gang sent to one another in the wake of the deadly riots at the United States Capitol building on January 6th, 2021.As reported by Politico’s Kyle Cheney, prosecutors showed that the Proud Boys were energized after the riots, which they hoped would be

Republicans Mocked Over Outraged Claims Government ‘Coming for’ Gas Stoves

Why is it, no one checked Santos story until the election was done?
