Doonesbury by Garry Trudeau for December 27, 2020

This is why you should keep the shotgun by the door for events like this.

I just recently re-subscribed. Had forgotten all about good ol’ Jimmy Crow.

Illustrates the paradox of firearms for home protection:

If they are safe and secure, they’re fairly useless (if you need it in a big hurry.)

If they are out in the open and easily available, they are dangerous (and not just to home invaders.)

I looked up the story. The Republicans have a party member, a mechanic with no previous political experience, run as an independent since he has the same last name, Rodriguez, to split and confuse with the Democrat candidate.

Admirably clever in an evil sense. No respect or props for having done it, just for having thought of it. Worthy of a heel wrestling manager.

And now a tweet from a big Jimmy Crow fan, the delusional orange turd of your nightmares and one term nightmare, donnie douche bag says, “If a Democrat Presidential Candidate had an Election Rigged & Stolen, with proof of such acts at a level never seen before, the Democrat Senators would consider it an act of war, and fight to the death. Mitch & the Republicans do NOTHING, just want to let it pass. NO FIGHT!”

The preceding quote has no basis in reality.

2020! The year that the GOP proved there was no movie plot too stupid or crazy or evil for real life!

[In case you didn’t know, they did ‘Weekend At Bernie’s ’ with a dead pimp]

Republicans* HATE democracy.

They are currently attempting to overthrow it, while Their Messiah tries to damage America as much as He can.

Garry needs to quit being so damn cute.

Zonker owns a shotgun? That seems kind of inconsistent with nearly fifty years of characterization as a laid-back no-worries non-violent sort. Maybe it was a gift from B.D.

Trump’s the one who’s gonna eat crow, now.

In reference to the upcoming runoff, the Lincoln Project reminds us that not all GOOPers are dirty tricks right wingnuts.

Zipper may be clueless, but is not stupid.

Here in Broward, we have our problems, but Miami-Dade still seems like our neer-do-well sibling.

And after you use the shotgun, crank up the wood chipper.

Tonight, they will eat Crow!

Shotgun in the basement? Crazy bugger, way too damp.

It has been said that we were fortunate this attempted coup was perpetrated by incompetents. Next time we might not be so lucky.

If only the solution was as quick and simple as a single blast from a shotgun!

Yea for Zonker!!

Actions speak louder than words. Shotguns speak even louder.

I’m surprised the Republicans haven’t been in negotiations with Mr. Trudeau to license Jimmy as their new mascot reflecting their current values.

How many individuals named Mike Pence or Nikki Haley (or Nicki Hailey) can we find to run in sundry GOP primaries in 2024?

Wait, isn’t Jimmy Crow a hallucination like Mr. Butts? Is Zipper high at this very moment and that’s why Zipper can see him? Well, who really cares. ;-)

The net that drops on the porch.

Open carry not looking so bad now, is it?

So far, we haven’t actually seen the shotgun. Is Zonker just talking B.S.? This being a Sunday one-off, I guess we don’t get to know the answer.

Republican-turned Democrat and senior advisor to the Lincoln Project, Kurt Bardella: "When you work in politics, your party is your team and your career. No one goes into politics without loving that life. If anyone thinks it is easy to casually discard all that because it is “the right thing to do,” you honestly have no idea what doing so really means.That’s why when Trump took office, many in Republican circles clung to the belief that he could be steered or managed. That despite the inflammatory words and actions that littered the campaign, the adults in the room would be able to contain Trump and preserve the political goals of the Republican Party.I went through that very cycle when I made the decision in 2017 to leave the GOP. In doing so, I had to accept that I might not work in professional politics ever again. Back then, there was no Lincoln Project and nowhere for a former Republican-turned-Democrat to land.Three years later, the situation in our country is even more dire. Republican leaders refuse to stand up to Trump even now, and by staying silent, are actively aiding and abetting his deranged plot to steal the election and undermine the will of the people.[…] In the American two-party system, it means joining the other side — the Democrats. Steve Schmidt, Lincoln Project co-founder and John McCain’s campaign manager in 2008, explained why in a recent interview. “At the end of the day, there’s now one pro-democracy political party in the United States of America and that’s the Democratic Party,” he said. “And I am a member of that party because of that. I’m a single-issue voter. I believe in American democracy.”At the start of the Trump presidency, anti-Trumpers who identified as Republicans stayed with the team hoping that their policy positions would still form the basis of a Republican agenda. That experiment is over.

Is it too much to ask that election officials obey and enforce election law? As written and intended?

Tipper Harris?

Wow never seen Zonker do something violent not that I blame him.

Who the heck is Tipper Harris?

Zonker…Firearms?

Totally unrealistic — a liberal Democrat owning a gun?

I’m anti gun except for Jimmy, Donny, Mikey, Mitchy, Rand-y, Stevie Mnuchy… Hold my beer.

I see Andy Illiterate is at it again. There’s no point replying to the “substance” of his post. Last week, after all, he didn’t even know that the fictional Seattle of the fictional Doonesbury world (in which live such interesting fictional characters as Mr. Butts, Mr. Jay, Brewski, and Mike Doonesbury) is NOT the same as our real-life Seattle. Which is nearly as pathetic as his average post!

“And THAT, dear children, is why you should keep a loaded shotgun throughout the house, not just the likely locations.”

Republican Party motto, “Win at all costs.” Gerrymandering, check! Voter suppression, check! Literacy test, check! Lawsuit, check! Cheating, damn right check! Intimidation, check! Voter purge, check!

kill that bird right now !
