"Cakes and Coups"

Quote

As we approach the first anniversary of the Trump insurrection that occurred on January 6, 2021, let’s reflect on the wisdom of Courtney Love who wrote the lyrics, “I want to be the girl with the most cake.”

Those words are in the song “Doll Parts” which is on the 1994 Hole album “Live Through This.” Someone who feels inadequate is a person who wants the largest slice of cake at their birthday party. Even though it’s their party, they need the largest slice, not because they’re hungry for cake, but to show everyone else how special they are. Donald Trump has been known to get the most cake at his parties. It’s well documented that at dinners and other events with Donald Trump, everyone is served one scoop of ice cream while Trump is served two. Keep in mind that Donald Trump is a grown man in his 70s and not an insecure child…he just behaves that way. He needs everyone to notice he has more scoops than they do because he’s the biggest baby.

And on January 6, 2021, failing to get all the cake for himself, Donald Trump tried to throw it out. All right-wing white fundamentalist Christians are babies, but Trump is the biggest baby. As he celebrates January 6, there will probably be a Nazi jumping out of it.

A lot of Republicans are still claiming the attack on the United States Capitol that day was a false flag operation committed by Democrats and the FBI. Some say it was Trump supporters who were goaded by Democrats, the FBI, and Antifa. On the day of the attack, Trump supporters on social media were claiming it was all Antifa while simultaneously celebrating it. I’ve had some Trump turds tell me they’ll celebrate January 6 like it’s their own Fourth of July.

Make no mistake about it, the attack on the United States capitol was an attempt to overturn an election they lost and install Donald Trump as a fascist unelected dictator.

The attack on January 6 was a coup attempt by supporters of Donald Trump.

The attack on January 6 was an insurrection by supporters of Donald Trump.

The attack on January 6 by Trump supporters was a terrorist attack.

The attack on January 6 by Trump supporters was conducted by white nationalists.

The attack on January 6 was sedition and an attack on our nation by supporters of Donald Trump.

The attack on January 6 was an attempt to destroy democracy by supporters of Donald Trump.

The attack on January 6 by Donald Trump supporters was initiated by Donald Trump.

The attack on January 6 by Trump supporters was created from the election lies spread by Donald Trump.

You would think an attack on our nation would warrant an investigation by Congress. The attack in Benghazi did. But Republicans have done everything from voting against investigating it to voting against awarding medals to Capitol Police to trying to put co-conspirators on the committee investigating it.

If Donald Trump and his goons were innocent, they wouldn’t be dragging their feet with these investigations and refusing to cooperate. The hope is that the GOP takes Congress in the midterms and will kill the investigation into their sedition. Are we really on the verge of giving our entire government over to the people who tried to destroy it? Apparently, we are. The network that lies for Trump and gaslights an attack on our nation is number one with viewers.

After Hitler’s Germany declared war on us in 1941, we didn’t turn around and use the next midterms to hand Congress over to Nazis.

The Capitol riot was over the lie that Donald Trump won the election and it was stolen from him. As I just said, that is a lie. Joe Biden won the election. Donald Trump and his supporters scream it’s impossible that he lost because he received 74 million votes, which is the second-largest vote total ever. The problem for them is that Joe Biden won with the largest vote total in history with over 81 million votes. In case you’re a Republican, 81 is more than 74.

Republicans talk like 74 is an amazing accomplishment and that 81 is impossible. They’re also confused as to how Donald Trump could have lost to a non-lunatic like Joe Biden when their candidate is an insane narcissistic racist porn-star humping used car salesman who trashed the economy and ignored a pandemic that killed nearly 400,000 during his watch (MAGAts claim all the deaths under Trump are fabricated but those under Biden are real). C’mon, America. How could you forget all Donald Trump did for you by giving himself a tax cut and grifting off the taxpayers? You ingrates. He played golf for you!

Now, Donald Trump is going to celebrate January 6 by holding a press conference to lie about January 6. He will claim it was a harmless unarmed protest of the election being stolen from him. This is the arsonist celebrating the anniversary of the fire he set.

Trump and his supporters will forever commemorate January 6 as though it’s their Fourth of July, but that’s not fair to the Fourth of July.

The Fourth of July is for patriotism. January 6 is for traitors.

For those who have not heard, we had a snowstorm in Northern Virginia that closed 50 miles of I-95 for over 24 hours, trapping hundreds in temperatures that went down to the teens. Senator Tim Kaine was one of those people stuck.

 

"MAGA Snow"

Quote

We got a little snow yesterday here in Northern Virginia. We got between 12 and 14 inches which shuts everything down in this state. Hell, half an inch closes schools, makes everyone run to the stores, and drive like idiots. It makes Virginians post photos of their lawn furniture covered in snow which makes multiple unoriginal Canadians say, “We call that a ‘light dusting’. Har har har.”

I knew the storm was coming so I prepared. I ordered groceries on Sunday and I completed Monday morning’s cartoon that night just in case my power went out. I also had to go somewhere Monday morning but thought it might get canceled…and it was. In fact, everything is still shut down.

I did not expect us to get as much snow as we did. I thought I’d stay home with my heat on while making chili. But, you can’t make chili with an electric stove when the power goes out. I mentioned that on social media and everyone advised I get a propane grill for next time…but I wasn’t looking for advice. I’d just eat something else. I wasn’t in a food crisis.

I gave the power company until 7 P.M. before I was going to go to a hotel…and it came back on around 6 P.M. I made my chili.

But a lot of people don’t pay attention as thousands of people were stranded overnight on Interstate 95 in the Fredericksburg, VA area. Some people were stuck on the interstate for over 19 hours. One of them was Virginia Senator Tim Kaine. The snow was deep and large trucks got stuck and blocked traffic.

My apartment overlooks Rt.1, which was just changed in Fredericksburg from “Jefferson Davis HWY” to “Emancipation HWY.” Yeah, yeah, yeah. There were a lot of jokes about being stuck on Emancipation HWY, but that got old quicker than the light-dusting jokes.

One person tried to make a U-turn in front of my apartment, which is illegal, and got stuck. I watched the guy abandon his car. I also watched it get towed several hours later.

So, why did so many people just not listen? Were they all unvaccinated? Are they skeptics? Did they think the government weather service was lying about the impending storm? Did Joe Rogan tell them it’d be light and balmy (I thought of that line after I had already sent my cartoon to my clients. Dammit)?

Anyway, I kinda like the snow. I did not like my power going out. But, I hope things are cleared enough that I can take a walk later today or tomorrow just so I can soak some of it in. But I’m not going to go walking down icy sidewalks as I’m too old and brittle now. I’m already clumsy and the last thing I need is a broken butt bone.

Everyone in the region, stay safe, and the best way to stay safe is…staying home.

FYI: VDOT, which is referenced in the cartoon, is the Virginia Department of Transportation.

They're also more human-like.
