Posted on August 31, 2023

1-panel cartoon — a blindfolded Lady Justice is holding her sword and the scales of justice; in the scale's right pan is ex-Pres Trump, holding a coffee mug reading"Tiny". A thought balloon reading "215 pounds my A**…" is coming from the head of Lady Justice.   1-panel cartoon — Florida governor Ron DeSantis is standing at a podium under a banner reading "Jacksonville Strong" in a room with mainly black people. He says "Sadly, avoiding mass shootings wasn't one of the personal benefits black people were taught by slavery". The people in the room look at him either side-eyed or puzzled.

2-panel cartoon — In panel#1 a Republican elephant on one side of a moat is yelling to a woman on the other side of the moat "To save Ohio abortion rights, you'll have to swim across this moat, filled with water from Camp Lejeune and infested with sharks, crocodiles, Matt Gaetz, piranhas, sea snakes, jellyfish, moray eels, pirates, hypodermic needles, dead car batteries, cocaine bear, and ill-tempered mutated Seabass all while strapped with Trump stakes and wearing ankle weights. Good luck, sweet...". In panel#2 the elephant finishes his last word, "sweetheart?" as the woman is now standing on his side of the moat, in his face, with her hands in fists giving him a very angry look.2-panel cartoon — In panel#1 a MAGA co-defendant says "Hail Trump!" and is puckering his lips, appearing to be preparing to kiss a big orange ass. In panel#2 what looked like an orange ass is actually a big Georgia peach labeled "Georgia Indictment", and this panel is headlined in huge letters "SPLAT!".

 

A man wearing a red MAGA hat is wearing a trump mug shot T-shirt with the caption "Never surrender". A cigar-smoking fat cat has a white T-shirt with a photo of Joe Biden with the words "Big Pharma" written inside a gold star next to Biden's picture, and the whole picture has a caption "Never Arrested". The fat cat says "For the crime of targeting drugs, for Medicare price, negotiations"1-panel cartoon — Justice Clarence Thomas is driving a luxury RV with two bumper stickers saying "For Sale... Not the RV" and "I Brake for White People" and 2 banner flags reading "Stop the Steal" and "MAGA". Behind him are his wife, Ginni, who's yelling into a cell phone, Milburn "Rich Uncle" Pennybags the Monopoly mascot character, and a dozen or so wealthy white fat cat men in suits and ties smoking cigars. Justice Thomas says to the driver of a smaller RV that has pulled up next to him "I'm a common man of the people too. How many billionaire sugar daddies can your RV hold?"

Good luck, sweet..." In panel #2 the angry woman, first clenched, stands successfully on the other side as the shocked Republican elephant sputters out the dangling word "Heart". 1-panel cartoon showing a young black man walking down the street carrying a black folding chair.

Clay Jones Cartoons from the Past Week — Enjoy!

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!"

Spread the Word about the Republican’s Disastrous Proposed Debt Ceiling Spending Cuts (Action Item)

Posted on May 11, 2023

Speaker Kevin McCarthy has a sign mounted on a tripod titled "Debt Ceiling Cuts" listing Student Loan Forgiveness, Veteran Healthcare, Child Healthcare, Daycare, Housing Assistance, Train Safety Inspections, Head Start, Pell Grants, Covid Relief, TANF, Environment Protection Plus Medicaid and Welfare Work Requirements. McCarthy also has 4 dogs standing between him and a non-plussed Pres. Biden and says to Biden "And you have to kick these puppies."

As America comes dangerously close to defaulting on our debt obligations, which would have catastrophic economic consequences, Speaker Kevin McCarthy continues to demand an incredible 22% domestic spending cut.
You can help pressure Republicans to back down from tanking the economy by (1) retweeting some of the latest posts from the White House Twitter feed and (2) making sure your friends and family know just how much harm such massive cuts would cause, especially to the most vulnerable Americans.

Some specific effects:

  • “Thirty million fewer healthcare visits. Fewer staff, increased claims backlog, longer wait times for benefits. Almost a $30 billion shortfall for veterans funding.” Military Times, 4/24/23
  • “…kick 300,000 children out of child care and Head Start, slash nutrition services for more than 1 million seniors and turn off the heat in 5 million low-income homes.” MSNBC, 4/23/23
  • “…make healthcare more expensive and less accessible for 2 million vulnerable people who rely on community health centers.” MSNBC, 4/23/23
  • Education Secretary Miguel Cardona “said the budget cuts would hurt students and student loan borrowers in part by eliminating loan forgiveness, ‘pulling 60,000 educators and support staff from schools’ and ‘derail(ing) the response to the youth mental health crisis in this country.'” USA Today, 4/25/23
  • “…make college more expensive by reducing the maximum Pell Grant award by nearly $1,000 for the 6.6 million recipients, as well as 80,000 who will no longer receive those grants.” MSNBC, 4/23/23

Political Cartoons from Clay Jones (late April)

Posted on April 28, 2023

We run these in our Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram feeds (very occasionally on Mastodon)… if you don’t already, please follow us on these platforms!

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.   Republican donor Harlan Crow stands on the steps of the marbled Supreme Court building in his bathrobe and bunny slippers, holding a coffee mug in one hand reading "World's Best Sugar Daddy" and in the other hand a rolled up newspaper headlined "Billionaire buys SCOTUS Justice...Yells at Statue". He yells at the statue of Lady Justice "Get off my lawn!" The whole cartoon is labeled "Clarence Sells a House"  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!"
