Trump Dumped on His Way out the Door
The U.S. House of Representatives voted to dump Trump on his way out the door. Ten Republicans joined all the Democrats in a 232 – 197 vote to impeach the president for “inciting insurrection.”
Trump will Leave White House One Way or Another
President Trump will leave the White House within 7 days one way or another. Passions run high about his remaining options.
The WSJ editorial page wants him to resign. Nancy Pelosi demanded that Mike Pence invoke the 25th amendment. But Pence said no – the same answer he gave when Trump pressured him to overturn the election. Now Pelosi wants a second Trump impeachment.
A Monday Quinnipiac survey found that 89% of Democrats want Trump frogmarched now. But 87% of Republicans are opposed. And 73% of Republican still believe there was “widespread voter fraud in the 2020 election.”
If a big chunk of the population thinks the election was illegitimate what will they think of impeachment?

Georgia’s on Everybody’s Mind This Week
Georgia’s on everybody’s mind this week. Biden beat Trump by a nose and they’re doing a recount by hand. There’s also the runoff for two U.S. Senate Seats, with Mitch McConnell’s leadership hanging in the balance.

Oh, and the Masters is being played in November. Must be 2020.
Fight Speech You Don’t Like with More Speech
What ever happened to the idea that you fight speech you don’t like with more speech?
In 2013 Hunter Biden flew to China on business with his father on Air Force 2. But Joe claims to know nothing about Hunter’s business dealings there. Navy vet and investor Tony Bobulinski says otherwise. And he has evidence to back it up, including his two personal meetings with Joe Biden.
Sounds like a news story to me. But Adam Schiff called it Russian disinformation. Twitter shut down the NY Post’s account when it published the story. And now Fox News is carrying the story.
Pelosi’s Threat Comes and Goe
Nancy Pelosi’s threat of a Tuesday deadline to accept her stimulus terms has come and gone. They’re still negotiating.
I liked my original sketch better with Pelosi holding a gun to her head. But editors might not run it. So, if a cartoon falls in the forest and nobody sees it… what good is it?
I thought it was pretty funny when Cleavon Little did it in Blazing Saddles. (Trigger word warning for humor impaired)
