You can blame this on Johnson you, can blame it on Trump but remember: with the exception of just two every last one of the Republicans voted in the BBB without reading it. Therein lies the tragedy.
The other tragedy is the fact that the traitor called tRump was elected to the White, now Black, House. We must take care of that at the next election-- If, indeed, there is a next election. Remember: "Vote for me and you will never have to vote again."
That quote should be the rallying cry which is hung around Trump's neck like the Albatross in the "Rime of the Ancient Mariner". you will never vote again - attributed to Donald Trump.
Nah, I love the way Ann portrays him: wide-eyed, smiling vacuously, eager to please his betters (masters?) by doing their bidding no matter what. Ann, the one thing you might do with the little ("ugly piece of excrement") is give him a permanently wagging tail.
It’s much more than oligarchs, and it has nothing to do with the eugenics movement.
It’s about 250 years of rich people seeing poor people as riff-raff, disposable, and not deserving of a place at the table.
It’s Ebenezer Scrooge expecting the poor to die and decrease the surplus population. It’s about the privileged, entitled Haves expecting the Have-Nots to be quiet, not cause trouble, and even go away.
Yes, the privileged attitude has always been there, but now the privileged are actively taking away food assistance, medical care, medical research, vaccines, public and worker safety regulations, consumer product safety, weather forecasting, FEMA, public information about disease outbreaks or drug recalls from the CDC and FDA. We are all more likely to die now than we were on January 19th. The oligarchs expect us to die and stop taking up resources they believe they can put to better use.
Trump, Musk and DOGE (which really stands for Demagogs & Oligarchs are Government Employees Bwahahahaha!) have a message for all you libs:
“OK you’ve had your fun, now we’re going to take the reins back and get rid of all these namby pamby, let’s all get warm and fuzzy wuzzy, and help all the Tiny Tim’s of the world, so we can all feel like Ebenezer at the end of the story.
Well we ARE Ebenezer in the first 90% of the book, and a serious BAH HUMBUG to you. Enjoy your lump of coal - sorry it’s a little messy but for some reason it wouldn’t hold its shape after it was burnt.
We don’t care what you say about us when we’re dead, our families will continue to wallow in the money we fleeced from you great big bunch of suckers! And Trump had it SO right! The biggest suckers out there are the ones who gave their lives - you call them ‘selfless heroes’ and we call them ‘the biggest losers’.
Like George HW Bush said about eating broccoli - you’re not gonna make me eat concessions on ANYthing!
When Reagan said “Let the bombing begin” he wasn’t talking about Russia … or the USSR, whatever … he was talking about you! Russia was the cover up. Just like THIS time BWAHAHAHAHA!!!
So just like before, hold yer nose and grab yer toes - and get ready because … we’eeeeerrrrr baaaaaaaaaacccccckkkkkk!!!!!”
Yes, but Ebenezer Scrooge eventually, thanks to the Spirits, saw the light and got back on the right path.
The Haves, like so many others, see poverty as a moral wrong and the Have-nots as morally corrupt. Therefore, the Have-nots should continue not to have and should even have what little they do possess confiscated and taken away.
That waiter looks like Wally Cox, but I realize it's truly MAGA Mike, the Hot Mess, Porno-loving, Faux Christian. That self-satisfied grin was the giveaway.
Maybe the chickens will come home to roost when this starts affecting the poorer MAGAs. Though there are always the ones ready to throw themselves in front of a train for the dear leader….
Denise, you're right. The Senate will cave because Dumpty will barge into chambers and threaten them exactly as he did with the House. What I can NOT grok is why. They can't all really believe what's happening, this shock-and-awe, chaotic catastrophe, can they? Really? Why are they all so terrified? Cannot they see that when he achieves his goal of dictatorship, they'll all be out of a job anyway? He won't need anyone except his cadre of loyalists, the Clown Car Cabinet. And Praetorians; don't forget Praetorians.
They may be scared, - worried about the safety of their loved ones. Caving to the monster won’t really keep them safe for long. What a cowardly bunch of hypocrites.
You could be right, but then, why put him on the throne in the first place? It makes no sense. The apparatchiks surrounding Stalin were terrified of him, but they were born into their situation; they couldn't help it. These cowardly hypocrites (great line) think they are feathering their nests by supporting the Mango Menace. The thing about republicons is, they could not care less for anyone outside their tight little family of evildoers. The problem they have with Woke is, as Jane Fonda recently defined it, "Woke just means you give a damn about other people." "Conservatives" do not give a damn about anybody.
And that’s actually true - everybody in the house: customers, staff, owners, deliverers, caterers, passersby, everybody else living in the city or town … and yet Johnson still smiles! Please may I have another?
Please, Can you also do one of $500million of Medicare going up in smoke because of the rules behind this Huge Bad Bill? Plus hospitals coughing and dying and Doctors unable to cover their expenses.

Perfectly drawn. The epitome of waiterly servitude. What a smug little sh*t he is.
Mikey Johnson, a fresh-scrubbed, duplicitous, Sunday School boy!
Well drawn, Ann!
Oh, A, couldn’t you have made Mike Johnson look more like the ugly piece of excrement he is?
Nah, I love the way Ann portrays him: wide-eyed, smiling vacuously, eager to please his betters (masters?) by doing their bidding no matter what. Ann, the one thing you might do with the little ("ugly piece of excrement") is give him a permanently wagging tail.
Eager to serve up theocracy!
The same look as he and his son eagerly talk about the porn (not) on their phones
Au contraire, Charles, I think hooves and a tail would be more appropriate for this hellscape 🥸
That works, but the tail still has to be wagging.
Snort
No wonder Johnson was in favor of abolishing taxes on tips.
LOL.
Best comment of the day!
The next bill before the House is one that mandates putting the poor and elderly on ice floes and sending them out to sea.
Yes, you understand that the oligarchs have brought back the eugenics movement.
We the people are the inefficiency.
It’s much more than oligarchs, and it has nothing to do with the eugenics movement.
It’s about 250 years of rich people seeing poor people as riff-raff, disposable, and not deserving of a place at the table.

Outstanding. This is a new version of the classic rich man feasting on the taxpayer’s dime.
That waiter looks like Wally Cox, but I realize it's truly MAGA Mike, the Hot Mess, Porno-loving, Faux Christian. That self-satisfied grin was the giveaway.
Maybe even Big Beautiful Bull?
Bull something . . .
Or Big Beautiful Bull____?
We call it the Big Bad Bill.
Maybe the chickens will come home to roost when this starts affecting the poorer MAGAs. Though there are always the ones ready to throw themselves in front of a train for the dear leader….
I did think that but I bet the GOP convinces the MAGAt world that it is somehow the Dems doing. And they eat it up.
Again Ann, TRUTH,
Thank you 🙏
What a great cartoon to show the world what happened when the Big Beautiful Bill passed by one vote. I am not holding out hope for the Senate.
Denise, you're right. The Senate will cave because Dumpty will barge into chambers and threaten them exactly as he did with the House. What I can NOT grok is why.

And Praetorians; don't forget Praetorians.
Yes, they have abdicated their power along with their responsibilities, just like John Roberts and the SCOTUS partisan, political hack majority.
They may be scared, - worried about the safety of their loved ones. Caving to the monster won’t really keep them safe for long. What a cowardly bunch of hypocrites.

. . . unless they have a use for you.
Them that's got are them that gets.
Get ‘em Ann.
I trust the restaurant has a sign on the door:
“If you have $Trump, dinner is on the house!”
And that’s actually true - everybody in the house: customers, staff, owners, deliverers, caterers, passersby, everybody else living in the city or town … and yet Johnson still smiles! Please may I have another?
"Everywhere there's lots of piggies
living piggy lives.
You can see them out for dinner
with their piggy wives."
- George Harrison
Big man, pig man
Ha ha, charade you are
You well heeled big wheel
Ha ha, charade you are
And when your hand is on your heart
You're nearly a good laugh
Almost a joker
With your head down in the pig bin
Saying, "Keep on digging."
Pig stain on your fat chin
What do you hope to find?
When you're down in the pig mine
You're nearly a laugh
You're nearly a laugh
But you're really a cry
Please, Can you also do one of $500million of Medicare going up in smoke because of the rules behind this Huge Bad Bill? Plus hospitals coughing and dying and Doctors unable to cover their expenses.
True and nauseating.
