Mike Luckovich for February 03, 2023

Shirley they jest…

Just how much Russian money is manipulating them?

I always dislike seeing clowns insulted. Jesters that are fine.

They are morons.

I have an even better name for them but I don’t think I can get it by the censor.

A jester, court jester, fool or joker was a member of the household of a nobleman or a monarch employed to entertain guests during the medieval and Renaissance eras.

Clowns. But clowns with flame throwers.

GOP is just entertaining.

Where are the clowns?Send in the clowns.

Now I’ve got an earworm.

I jest think they are clowns.

In History how many jesters heads ended up on a spike ?

That would definitely be the kindest thing I’ve ever thought of them

Crack jesters…

Jesters, the J stands for jerks.

Jesters were actually usually intelligent performers who used satire and mockery to make points that were often political in nature. They could say things to the king that regular people couldn’t because they cloaked it in comedy. The repugs in congress are just morons.

Jesters are funny.

This is no joke.

Jesters were used to make people laugh… NO ONE should be laughing at these fools who are trying to dismantle ANY AND ALL progress America has made since about 1840!

I think they are all clowns and the government they created is the joke on us. Maybe that does make them jesters.

It might be nice if everytime we see one we would offer the GQP jesters a gesture. Raise your digit if you agree

On the upside in times of gridlock they are just braying animals no matter who is in the WH. If Pelosi were the Lord Executioner if would have been ‘Off with his head!’ during the last two years of Trump.

Southern ends of northbound horses.

Of course in the old days if a jester said something the king didn’t like then he would take their head so…precedent?

I thought jesters made people happy and created laughter. Can’t find much to even get a grin. We will need to wait two years for a new congress to be formed.

Not feeding the troll today… nope, not gonna.

But JFC!

Anyone watch the clown show led by AOC yesterday? What a pathetic pity party.

Republicans violate community standards everyday.

You might enjoy MTG claiming an elementary school got $5.1BILLION of Covid Funds to promote CRT..

I dare say they are clowns like “It” is a clown. Mean, dangerous, self-satisfying magas. Many of these magas in Congress know nothing about civics, serving the people, or, by their words and deeds, have never taken an economics course…

“They all go down eventually; these guys ain’t smart. They’re just mean.” – Wiseguy

Fools, for sure: whether natural or artificial is sometimes questionable.

Kevin’s House of Insurrection

insulting jesters and clowns? Just how low will you go Mr. Luckovich?

… yet we’re not laughing.

I have a gesture for the jesters…

I’d rather they were tightrope walkers……….with NO safety net!

By the way, more than a few members of the Godawful Obsolete Party in Congress are TRAITORS to the United States of America. Just saying.

It’s a three ring %^$# show alright.

Spot the loony . . .

Not jesters: Liars and crooks!

Greene asked the comtroller to investigate why an elementary school received $4.1 billion dollars for some Qanon thing or other. I have to admire the guy for not laughing in her face.

How are the police pension funds?Anyone check out David Sirota article in the Guardian? Private equity and pension funds?“… the unholy alliance between some unions and Wall Street firms flew under the radar, even as pension funds were ravaged by fees. But with warnings of write-downs and losses getting louder, the dynamic could change.”

Jester-day, I wish our troubles were more far away.

According to some traditions court jesters were able to speak truth to power without loosing their heads. The congressional republicans seem more intent on lying to everyone and otherwise loosing their minds

Surely you jest.

House GOP just wants to ‘watch things burn’ in debt ceiling fight: economist

“This time, Republicans aren’t making coherent demands,” Krugman argues. “It’s completely unclear what, if anything, they want in exchange for not blowing up the economy. At this point, they’re blackmailers without a cause.”

Krugman adds, “Some of the reporting I’ve seen on the debt standoff describes Republicans as unable to agree on which spending should be cut. This might give the impression that there are factions within the GOP that have different priorities. But as far as I can tell, no influential players within the party are advocating anything that might make a significant dent in the budget deficit, let alone achieve the balanced budget Kevin McCarthy promised as part of the deal that made him speaker.”

A rift has opened between Kevin McCarthy and MTG over her claim Capitol rioter Ashli Babbitt was murdered by police

Kevin is going against MTG and Trump, guess he won’t be speaker for long.

No they’re fools.

Now there is the pot calling the kettle black, or is that racist too?

They’re jokers [a la Batman], they’re smokers [they voted to allow smoking in Congress]…
