Mike Lester for December 19, 2023

Stealing ’toon ideas from Goodwyn & Payne, Mo?

Exhausting Russia at negligible cost to us? So he can’t, or will not threaten the rest of our European allies? Yeah we don’t want that.

Just let him have it. /s

Lester shows himself to be a fan of Putin, just like His Messiah.

Because he’s such an independent thinker, he’s now working in support of Putin’s intended conquest of Ukraine.

Now that’s one funny toon!

Good one!

“Blow Putin…” Isn’t that Donnie’s job?

Lester: Are you equating trying to get Putin and his military forces out of the Ukraine with “blowing them off the face of the earth?”

[ If so, that might be how Payne & Goodwyn think… ]

More Prorussian Propaganda, just appalling and anti-American. Seriously sickening as a Patriot in the USA

Everybody gets a set of cluster bombs!

@Lester – great toon!

I wonder who is waiting “in the wings” for when Putin shuffles off this mortal coil?

The democratic party is the world’s most successful hate group. It attracts poor people that hate rich people, black people that hate white people, gay people who hate straight people, feminists’ that hate men, environmentalists who hate the internal combustion engine, and a lot of bratty college kids who hate their parents. However, the real secret of the party’s success is that it attracts the support of journalists who hate Republicans, and who therefore work tirelessly to convince the rest of us that we should vote for Democrats.

Great cartoon! Only morons think we can adjust the planet’s thermostat by sending more money to the government.

This is such BS. We all know that if President Biden did nothing about Russia’s invasion of Ukraine you’d be roasting him for being a weakling and demanding action.

Changing gears here, regarding the Boston counselors’ Christmas party:“Irish need NOT apply (attend)” Have a NON-WHITE Christmas !

Everybody gets a traunch of money for cluster bombs to be used for the big cluster funk.

Here’s another gear change, this time into the realm of facts:

Republicans Withhold Release of Key Witness Testimony in Impeachment Inquiry

- Stephen Neukam, The Messenger -

“The GOP decision to hold back on the release of a recent witness interview in the probe has the parties trading familiar accusations. House Republican impeachment investigators are holding back release of the transcript of an interview with a key witness in the inquiry, furthering a dispute over transparency in the investigation between Democrats and the GOP.

“Democrats took issue with the delay of the release of the interview this week with Carol Fox, who led a company that sued President Joe Biden’s brother, James Biden. Fox told the committee privately that she had no evidence that Joe Biden benefitted from his brother James’ financial dealings. The fuss over transcripts represents more partisan sniping in the highly-controversial impeachment investigation. The interview of Fox, the head of Americore, was part of the Republican questioning of the president’s potential involvement and profiting from his family’s business deals. The investigation has yet to unearth criminal wrongdoing by Joe Biden.

“The GOP has homed in on James Biden’s repayment of a $200,000 loan from his brother, the former vice president. James Biden repaid the loan, in full, on the same day that he received $200,000 from Americore. The payment came when Joe Biden was not in public office [and therefore was legally entitled to receive it]. Fox told investigators that she had no evidence of Joe Biden being involved in his brother’s business dealings. But she also said she could not identify any services provided by James Biden to Americore.”

""However, the interview of Fox wasn’t meant to establish a connection between Joe Biden and his brother’s business activities, [say] Republicans. Instead, the Fox deposition was to show ‘the Bidens contribute nothing but fraud’. A spokesperson for House Oversight Committee Republicans said Fox ‘testified to just that’. [He also said] ‘’… the transcript of the [Carol] Fox deposition will be released when other interviews connected to the probing of Americore are complete. The committee will release the transcript … once all interviews explaining how James and Joe Biden received money from Americore are complete’." [Don’t hold your breath.]

“A spokesman for House Oversight Committee Democrats said the GOP was keeping the Fox transcript under wraps ‘because it undercuts their narrative’. A spokesperson for Republicans on the Oversight Committee [said] the panel will release transcripts “at the appropriate time when it does not compromise the integrity of the investigation. [Excuse me? ‘Integrity’? This entire investigation’ has NO ‘integrity’.] But Democrats don’t buy the security argument. A senior House Democratic aide argued that the interviews have not contained classified information. ‘It should also be noted that it took Jamie Raskin’s January 6th Committee over a year to release any transcripts to the public,’ the aide said.”

Small wonder. Raskin’s Committee found immediate confirmation that an insurrection had occurred, and that then-President Trump was in the middle of its planning. Their withholding of the transcripts occurred while the key players were being identified, so as not to allow them time to dispose of factual evidence. Difference? So far in three years, the House Investigation into Joe Biden has produced buttkiss. Nothing.

Comer can’t find anything that warrants impeachment of Biden, and he’s running scared. Mr. Lester, let’s see you do an ‘editorial’ cartoon about this reality. If you dare.

Changing gears again, here’s another factual article:

Trump team ‘frustrated’ Jack Smith has been handed another gift: CNN

- Tom Boggioni, Raw Story

“A newly unearthed phone call that Donald Trump made to Michigan officials in an attempt to get them to refuse to certify the 2020 presidential election is causing no small amount of grief within the former president’s inner circle because they have a new fire to put out.

“Late Thursday the Detroit News reported it had obtained a recording of the call where Trump and RNC head Ronna McDaniel proposed undermining the election results with McDaniel suggesting they would supply lawyers if needed.

“According to CNN’s Alayna Treene, the recording of the phone call could end up in special counsel Jack Smith’s hands and could lead to new charges. ‘I spoke with the Trump team last night shortly after this story was published and they’re clearly frustrated, This is definitely just another piece of critical evidence that special counsel Jack Smith can use potentially in the federal election subversion trial against Donald Trump, which is currently slated to take place during the height of primary season in March. It’s unclear if that timeline will hold,’ she added.”

Here is a factual article that contains material of considerable importance to the electorate. This recording is NOT ‘ginned up’ by the Democrats, and it can not in any honesty be ascribed to a ‘witch hunt’. It is just facts.

Again, Mr. Lester, I challenge you to do an ‘editorial’ cartoon that presents this in its proper perspective – that Trump is a lying, cheating, conniving megalomaniac who must NEVER be allowe to sit in the President’s chair again. If you dare.

GOP: Let Ukraine fall and Russia will stop its aggression. Further proof of the ignorance of the GOP. I am still recovering from the GOP House member who claimed Brazil is in our hemisphere.

Not that I’m complaining, but no new toons in 10 days? What happened Mikey, forget to take your stupid pills?

I hope Mike Lester is okay… Not heard from him in a while.

But let’s support armaggedon in Israel.
