Der Furor II has been on stage for a bit less than a week ... how's that workin' out for you?
As part of its ongoing effort to whitewash the deadly Capitol Riots of January 6th, 2021, House Republicans announced that they will charter a new select committee to “expos[e] the false narratives peddled by” the previous select committee ... however, the chair of that committee has been advised not to subpoena former White House aide Cassidy Hutchinson, for fear that she might expose sexually suggestive messages sent to her by members of Congress; Der Furor has commanded Russian president Vladimir Putin to end the "ridiculous war" in Ukraine or else - wait for it - face tariffs on Russian imports to the US (which are all but negligible, anyway); a federal judge has temporarily blocked implementation of Der Furor's royal decree Executive Order terminating birthright citizenship, describing it as “blatantly unconstitutional” and that it “boggled” his mind that a member of the bar would claim such an order was constitutional; Tennessee GOP Representative Andy Ogles has introduced a proposed change to the Constitution that would allow Der Furor a third term as president; and in Wake Forest, NC, a 38-year-old woman was charged with DWI, misdemeanor child abuse, failure to register a vehicle, and careless and reckless driving after she rolled an unregistered golf cart in a roundabout, injuring herself and five children riding in the cart with her, one of them in her lap. She is probably expecting Der Furor to pardon her.
This week, more random cartoons, because why not ...
I feel the same way ...
I feel this way, too ..
It's an easy diagnosis ...
A good approach to calendar management ...
The Young Lady from Norway couldn't make it ...
I've seen his work all over ...
How we came by the expression ...
When snakes have bachelor parties ...
Uh, oh ...
When everyone thinks god is on their side ...
And that's it for this week's Cartoon Saturday - I hope it helped you get over the shock of the first week of Der Furor's new reign.
Have a good day and a great (and warm) weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Musical Sunday tips the hat to the billionaire class. See you then.

Oh, no exactly.
I might be wrong, coming from another country and all, but isn't Trump basically making himself King of the U. S. and if so why aren't all the Republicans horrified? Wasn't the whole point of forming the republic to get away from having a king?
Enjoyed the cartoons, especially the last one :D
Mike - yup.
Jenny - you are absolutely correct. The "old," "traditional" Republican party would have been utterly horrified. That the new Republican party is not is a clear indication of how much money and the lust for power have pushed traditional values aside. Unless Congress unexpectedly grows a spine, we're screwed for a long, long time.
