Tuesday Cartoons and Memes: Ugh

Seriously, I can’t take Trump’s shit anymore…

There are hard questions we need to ask ourselves right now. But no matter what this administration is planning, we know who we are—we love democracy & plan to fight (peacefully) for it. In a moment where knowledge is power, here is what you need to know. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan…

Special education isn't a "nice thing to have." It isn't "charity" or doing something to make us feel better. It is a right. The right to a Free Appropriate Public Education is codified in the Individuals with Disabilities Education Act, signed by a Republican president.

There is a lot of jerking going on:

And finally some thoughts on CBS News:

Auspicious start for the new CBS News, laundering unattributed cop shit-talking through the incoming editor-in-chief’s blog and failing to correct a misspelling of the story subject’s name in the web headline for three days.

Promoting the editor-in-chief's personal side project. Zero named sources in a story that promotes the editor-in-chief's personal political position. Misspelling the subject's name. It took one day for CBS News to become a conservative blog.www.cbsnews.com/video/some-n…

    I wonder what horrors the orange turd will inflict on us today?

      This one has me a bit confused:

      Marjorie Taylor Greene, tearing into her own party, says GOP men in Congress are ‘weak’

      “There’s a lot of weak Republican men and they’re more afraid of strong Republican women,” Greene said.

      Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Georgia) spent part of last week fielding angry texts from House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-Louisiana).

      She posted on social media that the Senate should abolish the 60-vote filibuster threshold so senators can end the government shutdown with just Republican votes. “He told me they can’t do it and it’s math,” Greene said.

      As with many things Johnson says these days, Greene disagreed.

      “I sent him the article about them doing it yesterday,” she said, referring to the Senate changing its own rules to confirm a large group of nominees on a single vote. “I said, ‘They just did it.’” (Johnson told reporters on Friday that he called her and they had a “good discussion” as “colleagues and friends.”)

      Greene, an antiestablishment outsider who became a close ally to the president, is used to conflict with leaders of her own party. She unsuccessfully tried to force a vote to remove Johnson from his leadership post in 2024,and she was openly critical of former speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-California) before she and McCarthy forged an alliance.

      Now, she’s on what some Republicans see as a media blitz from hell.

      She’s torching the speaker’s shutdown strategy in cable news interviews, siding with Democrats to call for extensions to health care subsidies, and supporting an effort both Johnson and President Donald Trump oppose to force a vote on releasing files related to convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein.

      “My district knows I ran for Congress trashing Republicans,” Greene said in an interview focused on her recent clashes. “They voted for me because they agreed with that. My district’s not surprised.”

      Greene’s sharpest attacks also reflect some disillusionment with how she and other conservative women in Congresshave been treated in recent months. She said she sees a pattern of unfair treatment in which competent and tough women such as herself and Rep. Elise Stefanik (New York) have been punished or ignored while “weak” Republican men are rewarded.

      Trump has stocked his Cabinet with women, including the third woman to lead the Justice Department andthe first toserve as chief of staff, she noted. But in the GOP-controlled House, just one woman chairs a committee, and just three serve in leadership.”

      Do you suppose her poll numbers actually look bad or has she gone woke or what?

    Speaker Mike Johnson just said he's completely fine with ICE agents shooting priests in the head with pepper balls and roughing up journalists.I'm sure he'll tell us soon about how it's the Democrats who are waging a war on religion and free speech though.

    Letting their true colors shine.

    ‘I love Hitler’: Leaked messages expose Young Republicans’ racist chat

    Thousands of private messages reveal young GOP leaders joking about gas chambers, slavery and rape.

    ” Leaders of Young Republican groups throughout the country worried what would happen if their Telegram chat ever got leaked, but they kept typing anyway.

    They referred to Black people as monkeys and “the watermelon people” and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies and driving them to suicide and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.”
