I love this cartoon, especially for how accurately it portrays the way the GOP treats its voters, but I’d be shocked if Auth doesn’t catch hell for this from conservatives - nothing a wife-beater hates more than being told he is one.
I love how Toles has accurately portrayed Netanyahu as the one with the ‘male’ puzzle piece: In order for the two pieces to fit, his piece must take up more space from the other. The symbolism is brilliant, especially when you consider that both used to belong to the Palestinians.
Maybe I’m just deluded, but doesn’t VP Biden actually have the 101st vote? Cheney used it plenty of times in order to cast the tie-breaking vote for tax cuts and other nefarious schemes.
I’m stunned that a long-time political cartoonist like the excellent Toles wouldn’t know this, or even the fact that Biden would also be the one who could undo this, just like he’s the one that could actually allow a vote to remove the filibuster.
