Mr. Rogers did testify before the United States Senate. In 1969, President Richard Nixon was being tricky and tried to cut funding to the Public Broadcasting Network (in case you're a Republican, PBS) from $20 million to $10 million. Fred Rogers only spoke for six minutes. He used that time tell the Senate Subcommittee on... Continue Reading →
Some Things Are Impeachable
Here’s your cartoon for CNN’s weekly newsletter, Provoke/Persuade. Please sign up to get these in your inbox every Sunday for the rest of your life. On one of his phone calls with Ukraine's president, Donald Trump said then-Ambassador to that nation, Marie Yovanovitch, was going to "go through some things." The man does project. No real blog for this... Continue Reading →
Juicy Intel
One revelation from last week's impeachment hearings is that the ambassador to the European Union, Gordon Sondland, was talking to Donald Trump on a cell phone from a restaurant in Kyiv, Ukraine. This is potentially dangerous. Donald Trump has never taken security seriously. He overruled the FBI in giving his idiot son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a... Continue Reading →
Sinking Like A Stone
Yesterday was historic. We got to witness a public hearing in only the third impeachment inquiry in our nation's history. We got to watch a president intimidate a witness while she was testifying. We may have seen a new article of impeachment created in real-time. And finally, a federal court found Trump confidant and partner-in-crime... Continue Reading →
Poo-Flinging Republicans
Jim Jordan has a law degree but he never took the bar examination. It's a good thing, too, because, there are some legal details he doesn't understand, like corroborating witnesses. Jordan pointed out that neither William B. Taylor Jr., the top U.S. diplomat in Ukraine, nor George Kent, a deputy assistant secretary of State specializing... Continue Reading →

Imagine you're sitting on a jury and you really want the defendant to be innocent. So, when a witness gives a damaging testimony, you just decide you're not going to listen to him. That's Lindsey Graham. Lindsey Graham said if there was evidence or testimony spelling out there was a quid pro quo, then it... Continue Reading →
Cross Hairs For Whistleblower
It's Taco and Bonus Toon Tuesday here at Claytoonz Central. But since I ate all the tacos Amanda made for me, you get the cartoon. I sketched this idea out a few weeks ago and even shared it in one of my posts showing you rough sketches. Sometimes I wonder if I shouldn't reveal a... Continue Reading →
Fireside Chat
I find it amusing that after the impeachment inquiry vote, Republicans accused Democrats of being partisan...after every. single. Republican. voted against it. That just went right over their heads. Republican Steve Scalise said it was a "Soviet-style" investigation, never mind that these "Soviet-style" rules were written by Republicans. Despite all Republicans checking their consciences at...

Lesbian Bong Blow
Revenge porn is despicable, ugly, and unethical. So naturally, Republicans are all over it. California representative Katie Hill has resigned after revelations were made that while she was a candidate, she and her husband were mutually involved in an extramarital relationship with a female campaign staffer. Hill has acknowledged this. Her estranged husband has claimed... Continue Reading →
