A bright yellow car, with lots of brightly-colord polka dots, labeled "GOP" is jammed with presidential candidates: Vivek Ramaswamy, Tim Scott, Nikki Haley, Larry Elder, Asa Hutchinson, Chris Christie, and Asa Hutchinson... and Trump is on top standing through the sunroof holding a cheeseburger and a coffee mug labeled "Scary Clown 2024". A businesswoman says to a businessman "Oh look... the first clown car cliché of the 2024 Republican Presidentiail Primary has arrived."     1-panel cartoon — Office answering machine greeting: "You've reached the office of Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton. I have been temporarily removed by an illegal impeachment over baseless accusations of corruption... but will return your call after I'm exonerated by the State Senate. Press 1 for fury and political retribution. Press 2 to leave a bribe." Things on Paxton's desk include a greeting card labeled "To Uvalde Elementary, Thoughts and Prayers", two post-it notes saying "Call girlfriend" and "Call wife", a framed photo from Ted Cruz inscribed "To Ken with Love", 3 checks from Nate Paul, and a to do list "1. assemble abortion posse" "2. Help Trump steal election", "3. Sue Joe Biden 50 times", "4. Criminalize LGBTQ and Woke", and "5. Villainize Immigrants"     1-panel cartoon — A person wearing a rainbow striped shirt sitting down at a Target lunch counter is surrounded by a crowd of menacing-looking MAGA men. The counterperson, wearing a white uniform shirt labeled "Target" with the Target logo on it, says to the man "Get out. I can't afford to lose business from knuckle-dragging bigoted homophobic troglodytes."  1-panel cartoon showing a Republican elephant labeled "Freedom Caucus" about to push an elderly woman in a wheel chair down a flight of steps. Before he can push her, the other Republican elephant, who is reading a document labeled "Debt Ceiling Deal", says "SonOfA... Kevin let Biden take this one out too".      1-panel cartoon showing Speaker Kevin McCarthy tied to a stake in the middle of a bonfire. Two Republican elephants labeled "Freedom Caucus" stand to the right holding flaming torches. Two Democratic donkeys to the left are holding skewers with marshmallows over the flames, and one says "Maybe the debt ceiling deal isn't all bad.".     A Republican elephant points a gadget at Joe Biden and says "This monitor points at corruption while beeping loudly." But the device bends back to point to the Republican and starts beeping nonstop. A second Republican elephant holding a list (Ken Paxton, Tump, Giuliani, Santos, Thomas) says "My gaydar has that same malfunction!"
