Creatively, I had fun with this cartoon. I really enjoy drawing Biden and Trump, but I rarely get Reagan-drawing opportunities. I like drawing Ronald Reagan. I don’t know if he needed the label but since he hasn’t been president in over three decades and Republicans seem to have forgotten him in favor of their Trump cult, I figured the label wouldn’t hurt.

Music Note: I rocked out to Them Crooked Vultures while drawing this cartoon.

In 2017, Matt Gaetz was the only member of Congress to vote against a law boosting the government’s human trafficking investigatory powers, saying he was sent to Congress to reduce the reach of government. Matt Gaetz voted against the government coming after him for reaching for teenage girls. Matt Gaetz is all about protecting terrorists and pedophiles.

There’s a year-long federal investigation into whether Matt Gaetz paid to have sex with a minor he took across state lines. This would be sex trafficking.

Gaetz’s former party buddy, Joel Greenberg, is a convicted sex trafficker. Greenberg is now cooperating with federal investigators and now a grand jury has been convened looking into the allegations against Gaetz. Those testifying include Matt Gaetz’s ex-girlfriends. I’m as shocked as you. Matt Gaetz had girlfriends, plural?

Joseph Elliccot, another friend of Matt Gaetz, just pleaded guilty this week to drug and fraud charges. Like Donald…

Republicans are having racist conniption fits over President Joe Biden’s pledge to nominate a black woman to fill the vacancy left on the Supreme Court by Justice Stephen Breyer’s retirement. They’re trying to mask their opposition to Biden’s promise by claiming it’s about choosing the most qualified person to sit on the highest court in the land, no matter what their race or sex may be.

Really? No.

Before Ronald Reagan was elected in 1980, he promised during his campaign that if he got a nomination to the Supreme Court, his first would be a woman. When a vacancy did come up in his first year, he kept his promise and nominated Sandra Day O’Connor. Reagan got three justices on the court, but he made four nominations. The three that made it, O’Connor, Antonin Scalia, and Anthony Kennedy, each got over 97 votes. Trump’s three steals barely got 50 each.

Maus is a graphic novel by Art Spiegelman about the Holocaust. It’s very dark and disturbing, you know because it’s about the Holocaust. A proxy for the author is a mouse who interviews his mouse father about his experience in the Holocaust. The Nazis are depicted as cats. The McMinn County School board in Tennessee has pulled the book from the eighth-grade curriculum because they believe either eighth-graders are too young to learn about the Holocaust, they want to protect Nazis because 60 percent of the country are Trumpers, or they’re all cat people.

Trip advisors advise that the National Holocaust Museum in Washington, D.C. is fine for 12-year-olds, though there are parts of the museum that has been determined safe for ages as young as eight. I think kids in the eighth grade would be fine with learning about the Holocaust from Maus. In fact, I think that’s an…

President Joe Biden gets a Supreme Court pick and there’s very little Republicans can do to stop it. Justice Stephen Breyer is retiring and he’s picked the right time to do it because by this time next year, Republicans may control the Senate again, and despite there being two years left in President Biden’s term, yeah.

Even though it would be unprecedented for a Senate majority to refuse to hold hearings and a vote for a SCOTUS nomination for two years, Mitch McConnell and his ilk of sleazy Republicans have established a precedent of being lying thieving snakes. My apologies to snakes.

Donald Trump got three Supreme Court picks. He shouldn’t have gotten one. This is a man who shouldn’t be allowed to make his own choices from Shoney’s Big Boy menu, but he gets three picks for lifetime Supreme Court appointments. That’s just not right. Why should Vladimir Putin…

DJ Ferguson is an anti-vaxxer. His father says his son “doesn’t believe in it.” According to his GoFundMe page, DJ has been in a Boston hospital since November suffering from a hereditary heart issue that causes his lungs to fill with blood and fluid. DJ needs a heart transplant. DJ does not believe in vaccines. What he does believe in are heart transplants and GoFundMe pages.

Ferguson has been removed from a transplant list, partly over his status as being unvaccinated from the coronavirus.

His father said, “My boy is fighting pretty damn courageously and he has integrity and principles he really believes in and that makes me respect him all the more. It’s his body. It’s his choice.” Yeah, but DJ is trying to make a choice with an organ that’s not from his body.

The person who donated the heart also made a choice with their body, except…
