   This is a bit late in arriving, but the character Hector and Carlos drew here is taken directly from the cover of Martin’s “The Completely Mad Don Martin” (dog on the cover version) published in 1974. (No, my memory may be that slow, but it ain’t that good. I saw the cover are while revisiting the two volume anthology of Martin’s cartoons. I would like to see what he would do with today’s political follies — BOTH sides of the divide.)

   Don’t know. The cartoon simply brought the lyric, or something like the lyric to mind. Originally I typed “the lemon flower is very pretty,” but I pondered about two seconds and deleted it with mirth on account of the repartee in the House between MT Greene, Crockett, and OAC. I do wish, however, that Crockett hadn’t taken the bait that MT Greene proffered. I’m quite sure that the bait dangling on MT’s part was not a reasoned action. It was something less that an instinct and more than a reflex; which is about the top intellectual speed of any member of the so-called Freedom Caucus, or any other of the MAGA folks who suck up to them.

   re: “The “in for life” thing is what causes it.”

   That provision in the Constitution is not so much causation as it it an enabler. The presumption of the framers was probably that such overtly corrupt examples of judges, such as Thomas, Alito, and the like, would not have been confirmed. Similarly, the framers presumed that such a corrupt, felonious parasite like Trump would never have been elected by the EC. Therefore they put the Presidential immunity language into the Constitution. We now see how naive the framers were in their presumptions.

   Trash does as trash is.

   That’s a pretty accurate description of Trump’s M.O. And a good recommendation for what Trump should do for the rest of his life — especially after his Carroll and Daniels GTFO adventures.

   Upside down. And backwards.

   Likewise. Some GC commenters have accused me of hating Trump. While I don’t hate Trump, I do acknowledge that he disgusts me.

    I submit that corrupting the truth with alternative “facts” is one of the things, perhaps the main thing, that makes right-wing trolls right-wing trolls.

    I think that ari stated a fact a few days ago. I don’t know if he (or she) saw a glimmer or light, or merely goofed. But then even a blind hog finds an acorn once in a while.
