Cartoon showing a row of chairs in which a very uncomfortable-looking Don Lemon is flanked by 4 hooded Klu Klux Klan members, 2 on each side of him. Inside Rupert Murchoch is interviewing another hooded Klan member holding a lighted tiki torch. One Klansman asks Lemon "Are you here to interview for Tucker's old time slot too?" Cartoon of an angry-looking Tucker Carlson on Fox News saying "Breaking News! Deep state black trans election-stealing socialist Drag queen Antifa gromers have canceled Tucker Carlson!" Carlson is wearing his Russian flag lapel pin. 7 seated customers and a standing bartender are watching Fox News. A customer says "I can't wait to see how Fox News covers is $787.50 Million settlement with Dominion". At that point Tucker Carlson on the screen says "Trump Won!"

Mickey Mouse is reading a newspaper headlined "DeSantis Signs Abortion Ban" when Minnie Mouse walks in patting her belly, visibly pregnant and looking non-plussed. Mary Poppins, Dumbo, Tinker Bell, and other Disney characters are drawn in the background. A 2 panel cartoon shows Florida Republican Gov. Ron DeSantis and a Texan talking. DeSantis says "I;m banning gender-affirming care, men in women's sports, drag shows, and the word 'gay' -- beat that." The Texan says "Hold my beer"and hands it, a Bud Light can with a rainbow on it, to DeSantis. In the second panel DeSantis has run away (right out of his white boots) yelling "Eeeek! Trans beer!"
