Ted Rall for October 11, 2023

NGOs are probably the only hope.

Not to worry. Once Republicans regain power, they will abolish income taxes for all corporations.

That will be of enormous help.

A million candles burning

For the help that never came

You want it darker

(Leonard Cohen)

Actually, this fits the Repub agenda of do nothing in order to cause harm very well.

And they were doing such a good job of getting things done.

Kevin redux? MAGAt wannabees Scalise or Gym? The choices are … breathtaking …. Can’t wait to see all the issues the House will tackle after they elect a new speaker ….

Since it’s the republicons who have for decades prevented or rolled back social welfare programs designed to help the homeless and have, while giving billions in government handouts and tax breaks to oil companies and megacorps, trimmed to the bone programs designed to improved the economic conditions of the middle and lower classes I’m assuming this is a shot at the right wingers…right ted?

I also assume that since jobs under Biden have grown at an unprecedented rate outpacing even the most optimistic projections that you will acknowledge that Biden has been successful in helping the economy after the devastation of trump…right ted?

Is that Spock driving by?

This looks more like a local Democrat run city problem.

I want to find the people responsible for holding down and forcing illegal drugs into homeless folks.

Who’s going to protect us from drag queens and transgenders now? OMG! What about Hunter Biden?

Even with a speaker the house seemed in chaos, is there much of a difference now?

I have seen many of those people at stop lights. Most of them are young white men. Hispanics at those same lights are selling flowers and other things to earn what they are given, not beg. Also the farm workers are doing the jobs that Americans just won’t do. I support a hand UP for a living wage to people willing to work not a hand OUT.

Corrupt republican confederates don’t give a crap about Americans.

Repubs not being able to advance their agenda might be a good thing. Though not being able to keep the nation fueled up is a bad thing.

Ha Ha That’s been the republican “Contract On America” ever since they ran Gingrich out of his speakership.

Rethuglican Speaker or none, there’s no help on the horizon — I keep looking for the /s in this ’toon …

Yep, they cannot even get bulldozers into the budget to wipe out your homeless camps

The right shot themselves in the face, and the left helped.

Yes, the House is slightly more useless now that it can’t vote on anything.
