Prickly City by Scott Stantis for December 27, 2019

Poor depiction of Speaker Pelosi.

See, you’re supposed work with the other party to get legislation that considers everyone’s interest, Winslow. Not just bottle them up in the Senate like the Murder Turtle.

Bored, just pretend I commented something that fake enraged you, and list all the times you believed that the liberals tried to work with anybody. Oh, and don’t forget some juvenile attempt at insulting me. Just roll the old chariot along.

Haven’t been enraged, and no need to insult. Just remember hundreds of bills have been passed by the House, many bi-partisan believe it or not, but the hang up is and has been for quite a while Mitch McConnel in the Senate who won’t even bring the bills up for any consideration at all.

John Dingell, the longest-serving congressman in U.S. history, died in February.

Trump’s jibe — that the late congressman could be “looking up” rather than “looking down” — drew condemnation even from Republicans.

Rep. Fred Upton (R-Mich.) called on Trump to apologize. Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-Ga.) said he would not have used similar words but that the president was probably “stressed at the moment.”

Barbara Res, a former vice president at the Trump Organization who worked with the future president for more than a decade, expressed her disgust with the remark but said that her former boss was unlikely to feel any contrition for it.

“I think it’s outrageous,” Res told The Hill. “But does he think that he is being classless? It’s more a matter of him thinking he can do whatever he wants.”

Uh, Madam Skeletor, I mean Madam Speaker-in-name-only, if that was sausage you were making, they wouldn’t be handing out shovels to deal with it.

you should look that good when you’re 87

Ha! she sure knows how to yank Trump’s Chain! #whosthesnowflakenow :-D

Falling into the Republican Swamp of Stupidity. Way to become a delusional puppet n Putin’s Republican muck.

One: I actually thought this was a decent cartoon from Scott or Eric today. I think kaffeekup was objecting to the drawing, though I confess, drawing Nancy is probably no easy task.

As for the dialog, I thought it was rather spot-on. Making laws is a lot like making sausage (as Darsan54 pointed out, above). And despite knowing Scott’s (Eric’s) biases regarding Democrats, it appeared to me that he was placing blame on both sides of the aisle.

Perhaps one of the best cartoons from Prickly City in a while now.

Two: For all those who remain convinced that Pelosi’s one and only purpose since 2016 has been the impeachment of Donald Trump, how quickly we have forgotten that she, and almost she alone, made a point of holding off on impeachment – her quote, “he’s not worth it.”

But just as appeasing Hitler didn’t do any good, neither has appeasing Trump. As far as “giddy” goes, I can’t think of any Democrats who are. But I can think of many Republicans who are – thinking that, as successfully as Trump has played the “victim” card up to now, that impeachment – and the 105% chance of acquittal in the Senate – will only increase Donald’s chances come November 2020.

No, Virginia, Democrats are anything but “giddy.”

If anything, impeachment appears to be the embodiment of one of Murphy’s Laws: “No good deed goes unpunished!”

Stantis has either mis-understood Bismark’s quote or he has stretched beyond it’s meaning to turn it in to a partisan dig.I don’t mind the dig, but to do it by essentially misquoting Bismark is both intellectually lazy and dishonest. But then, we are not on the side of the angels here, are we?

Isn’t Speaker Pelosi suppose to be in animal form? If you are taking suggestions how about a crazed squirrel?
