Tuesday Cartoons: Carried Away

So, over the weekend NY representative Mike Lawler had a town hall and this happened. Please be sure to watch the videos below:

Well, I had an interesting Sunday night, how 'bout you?

Now, people being dragged out of town halls is not something new. It’s just…what the fuck! People need to get madder about this shit!

This is a shockingly mistaken understanding of due process by Stephen Miller. It is likely this misunderstanding that is informing the President’s misunderstanding.

Respectfully, it’s not a misunderstanding. That dignifies it. It’s sheer will to power. This is what they want the law to be, so they’re saying that’s what the law is, and daring any court to stop them.

Trump: "The courts have all of the sudden, out of nowhere, they said, 'maybe you have to have trials.' Trials. We're gonna have 5 million trials? It doesn't work."

Scanlon: The Gulf of Mexico was so named over 500 years ago. If we want to update that name to reflect our current culture, maybe we should call it the Sea of Emoluments—you know, the place where we can board the Ship of Fools and navigate from a State of Ignorance to the Confederacy of Dunces…

And with that, the cartoons.

    I have to admit, that last image about the Oompa Loompa…when I saw it last night, I laughed so hard…I peed my pants. Y’all know my fondness for little people.

    The horrific actions of Rep. Lawler should cost him his seat. If I were a betting person, I’d put money on it.

    The Orange Man continues to trigger me. He reminds me so much of my abusive father. Once I asked my father for a doll for Christmas. He said I already had a doll. He also told me to grow up. I was 6 years old at the time.

    This shit can’t end soon enough for me. I feel like I am losing my mind.

    Dense but important conversation with federal payments expert @nathantankus.bsky.social on, well, federal payments and how Trump & his co-conspirators have been able to shut them off. Tankus covers a lot of ground with @normative.bsky.social & @noahkunin.bsky.social, relevant to this news today…1/2
