Al Goodwyn Editorial Cartoons by Al Goodwyn for May 19, 2024

When cornered, people in the Alternate Universe try and resort to the “both sides” fallacy in order to excuse the bad behavior of their own people.

Stuck between hack politcal cartoonist above and stupid braindead Maga commentors below

Yet you persist in supporting that party.

What is usually referred to as third grade of 8–9-year-old logic, but Billie and Sally did this and they did not get punished, da NarcissistsYou’re selfish because you don’t want to do what I am asking you to do. You only think about yourself. Meanwhile they are the ones who constantly make up excuses, break promises, are unreliable, think only about themselves, or compete with you. Not only that, but they will also forget all the things that you have already done for them. In their eyes, they are entitled to your resources (time, money, energy), and you are aggressing against them when you won’t, can’t, or don’t give them what they want.They think that they are super-ultra-turbo-mega special, that they deserve exceptional treatment, or that they are justified in hurting others. They have grandiose goals and exaggerate their achievements to appear more impressive and more superior.Whenever a narcissistic person feels threatened, they will call you the things that they themselves are as or are afraid that others will see them as. And then they will try to stalk you, slander you, or discredit you. They will try to sabotage and destroy you. They will start a smear campaign and attempt character assassination. In their mind, frighteningly, you have become their mortal enemy.A common narcissistic strategy is to play the victim. You hurt me, poor, poor me; instead of working through the issue, they have no problem dragging others into it by lying and painting you as the perpetrator and themselves as the victim.

It just life in the swamp. Only a fool thinks this is a one party problem.

It looks like you left off the rest of the GOP clowns. Where’s Lauren Boebert? Is she off-screen given out handies? How about Gaetz? Is he scouting some pre-age-of-consent talent? If you’re going to criticize, make sure you include the whole clown car that the MAGA-driven GOP brings to the table.

Are we sure Stephen King isn’t writing this?

With both parties being to the right of the public’s median opinions, all that remains — it seems — are uncivil ad hominem attacks. Don’t expect meaningful legislation from this rabid [dis]organization.

The clown scale weighs heavily & decisively to the right. That’s clown as in Stephen King clown, foolish yet malevolent, stupid but deadly.

The real clowns always fall on the right side. G-reen bopping her trainer, B-oebert stroking in a theatre, N-oem and her lies about meeting dictators and her tales of killing animals, T-rump buring a wife on a golf couse while lining up more p-rostitutes to jump on, and the right-wing media cheering on the immorality of it all. What happened to “personal responibility and family values”? They all popped like a clown’s balloon.

Although the dems have their extremes too, how can anyone hate them so much that they would choose to vote republican? Can one imagine what kind of situations will arise if the “republicans” capture the WH and both houses? They have made no secret of what they want to do, and it will be a frightening dismantling of our system of governance, and these very people will regret they did so within only a year or two.

Nobody likes Maga MTG.

The bad built, butch body on the right is the problem.

Goodwyn is right about there being clowns but they are all in MAGA makeup

The only part of this cartoon that is accurate is the drawn depiction of Jewish Space Laser person MTG.

My compliments. This is a vast improvement over the typical Goodwyn totally inaccurate RWNJ offering.

Senator John Fetterman compared that House catfight to the Jerry Springer Show, and then had to apologize to the show. That drove AOC over the edge (again), and she called Fetterman every name in the book. She must’ve forgotten Chapter 4 of the book Seven Mistakes Successful People Never Make, titled “Punishing Friends”.

Crockett then tried to make money off of what she said about MTG, but it’s not working. It might work better if she could spell her own last name, which showed up as “Crockrtt” on the T-shirt she tried to hawk to capitalize on the moment.

If you’d rather have Congresspeople who pay attention to detail, vote elsewhere.

“Beware of entrance to a quarrel but, being in, bear’t that the opposed may beware of thee!” – Polonius

Greene started it, Crockett gave fair warning, then Crockett finished it.

The clowns and the jokers, and worse, are only on the right in that comic.

Nobody likes AOC.

this is no laughing matter – we are even more of a joke to those overseas: A country not to be taken seriously. I received a video from China and they are having great sport at the idiocy of these people.

Perjury Taylor Greene is another MAGAt hero.

She was given important committee assignments so that she would do exactly what she is doing.

.

It’s not AS IF Republicans have ANY intention of passing meaningful legislation of any kind. They do not.

‘A hit dog hollers’: Jasmine Crockett brutally doubles down on MTG’s House floor tantrum

Now, the MAGA party insists on further cheating its way to permanent minority rule by denigrating the idea that voting can be fair — if the other side wins.

If the idea that Joe Biden stole the 2020 election — which he won by more than 7 million votes, with a 306-232 electoral vote victory — is Trump’s big lie, then Republican efforts to ensure “election integrity” around the country are lies metastasizing from the malignant tumor Trump introduced into our democracy. Trump’s con about election fraud is intended to succeed where his multifaceted effort to overturn the 2020 election failed.

Thankfully our Congress does not behave as they do in South Korea or Taiwan where fist fights are the order of the day. Of three I think MTG was the most tame and AOC was the worst. But then my partisanship may be showing. The final solution: if their constituents don’t like their behavior, they don’t have to re-elect them.

All 3 could and should voted out of Congress. I felt bad for James Comer and Jamie Raskin.

MTG antagonizes a member of Congress with personal physical insults. The victims respond and they’re clowns? Al, you’re a despicable apologist for the Republican clowns.

Hey, you forgot Rashida Tlaib.

great song

I will take 20 MTG’s over all the AOC and her squad members in the world. MArjorie defends liberty, works for small government. She is under constant assault from the daily clown show of the leftist mob. She makes a stupid comment and is pilloried while AOC and her leftist squad make several stupid spontaneous comments every day!

⇧ why is the above comment not a surprise…? ☺

While I appreciate the gem that Representative Crockett gave us - “Bleach Blonde Bad Built Butch Body” - they have to remember that Greene is a troll and a troll’s only goal is to bring you down to their level… get you in the mud where they are more comfortable… where they can now try to say “both sides”… Seems that is basically the whole strategy/platform for this new GOP.

Almost a cat fight in the House………….
