"Weenies", of course that's what they are, Kathryn. Thank you. I have been trying to figure out how sausages fit in. Can you tell I'm not American born?? (But I am legal.)
Trump will let you know whether you’re legal or not! Trump, and his crack team on immigration law, that is! Wait, wait … or was that “Trump, and his immigration law team on crack”? I get that mixed up …
In the USA we usually differentiate between “weenies” and sausages. We know they are highly related, but weenies are usually quite bland. We expect sausages to have more flavor and character.
Fair point...are you suggesting that the Republicans in Congress are weenies? That's still giving them too much credit, as weenies still have some use.
Nice cartoon as usual. The GOP congress is cowed and fearful. There seem to be no heros or heroines, like Liz Cheney. They have sacrificed their country.
Liz Cheney was one of the Trump acolytes until she fell out of favor. She voted for him twice and did nothing to curb his worst impulses. She finally saw the light, but she is still a Nixon/Reagan/Bush Republican.
I expect that there are few issues she and I would agree on- however, I respect her courage in standing up to not only trump but her colleagues and other Rs. History will treat her well. IMHO.
The GOP congress is full of cowardly, spineless individuals who relish being in power (so far) and greedy. One has to have courage, stamina, maturity, and balls to forge ahead (among other things) in areas that may not be popular. Liz Cheney has balls.
You must not be able to see the Heros! Check out BERNIE SANDERS, AOC, MAZIE HIRONO, ELIZABETH WARREN, TINA SMITH, TAMMY DUCKWORTH, AND CHRIS MURPHY. You are probably hoping KELLY, KLOBUCHAR, KAINE AND BOOKER will become a hero. They won't. They are MAGA Democrats.
Really? Clark Kent was a good guy. Superman’s alter ego … now while there are good people on both sides of the SCOTUS bench … why does that ring a bell?? … the basic constitution of this SCOTUS is more like Jimmy Olsen at best, and Lex Luthor at worst!
As I scrolled down through the pictures, I wasn’t surprised by how your drawings described the executive and judicial branches, but I had to laugh out loud at the description of the legislative branch! A bunch of weenies! Exactly!
It always amazes me how you are able to say more with three pictures than most people do with thousands of words. Another bullseye! Thank you.
Ditto!
Those weenies are made of chicken, yes?

“Laws, like sausages, cease to inspire respect in proportion as we know how they are made.”

Could that be the inspiration behind the third panel?
Chicken “parts and pieces”
or puffed up with hot air
Ya think?
Parts is parts.
As a German citizen, I must complain about the insult to SAUSAGES everywhere! :-)

I accept your criticism, but I believe it was Ms. Telnaes who suggested they were weenies. And I don’t think she
restricted herself to Republicans, even though it is their majority in the House that sways the House as a whole.
Aha! I am not alone. Thanks, Jeff.
You are always spot on.
!

Liz Cheney took all the balls and spines with her when she left DC!

But she finally DID see the light, which she now shines brightly for other Repubs with brains & souls. A very brave woman, imho…
I’ll take her to McTurtle any day.

I'm pretty sure she's got ovaries.
Ovaries are balls, just like testicles.
those too.
Liz has more balls than any republican in office right now. More spine too.

Imagine Ann trying to get this run in the coward Bezos' rag today?
So happy to be a subscriber here!
Wouldn't happen.
ahahahahahaha....specially the legislative branch. Yeah, dat's dem. ahahahahaha
Super!! You say it best when you draw….
Ann,
You've really put a very fine point on where it's at, dysfunction and all!
What we have all been thinking. Keep at it!
I specially love the weenies!
Welp, y'know what they say about laws and sausages...
I haven’t heard that one … laws and sausages : Otto von Bismarck
“ What he said was, "laws, like sausages, cease to inspire respect in proportion as we know how they are made." cute.
A cute aphorism but probably misattributed. See https://quoteinvestigator.com/2010/07/08/laws-sausages/
Well, you did a deeper dive than I, for certain! Good find!
Not my aphorism of choice & a bit dated?
I suppose sausages are a more polite way of saying dicks.
Many lower court judges are Superman.
SCOTUS is more like Clark Kent.

I meant more in terms of timidity, but I agree that there is definitely a Lex Luthor faction on the Court.
Lower court judges are like Superman, interested in protecting what is right. DOJ lawyers are more like Sargent "I know nothing" Schultz LOL
LOL!! Very well done!! One of my favs.......for now.
