And why are we not abiding by our own Constitution for our own protection?

AMENDMENT XIV

Section 3.

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

It's that last sentence - there's no way to get 2/3 of each house when more than 1/3 are guilty.

But it should at least be brought to the vote so we have it on record.

Instead of the Ten Commandments, this cartoon should be displayed in classrooms.

Clay, I hope you keep drawing cartoons that cause people to yell at you. Those are the good ones! You rabble-rouser you! :)

It's fair. I can't understand how anyone that watched the riot on January 6th could possibly even consider voting for Trump, much less how they can continue believing he's some kind of chosen by Gawd!

Tell you what, if this toon gets pulled off gocomics, you might want to ask why Beckom's toon for today is still up. It's a blatant call for murder/genocide, along with being racist, as he refers to human beings as "pests".

Funny how they don't mind things like that from the right, eh?

I haven't even thought about it being pulled from GoComics because I've never had an issue with them. It won't be pulled. And yeah, I saw that Beckom cartoon and he is calling for genocide. His syndicate should drop him.

Just saw it on GoComics! Congrats. PS - liked your debate chat, hope you and everyone enjoyed it too. Helpful to get other perspectives of what was happening and some fact checking in real time.

I cannot believe the hair-on-fire an the how-dare-you reaction to your cartoon. Too close to home I think. Or seeing it front and center compared to what happened before is just too much reality for people prepared to vote for a convicted felon who called for people to mob the Capitol, hang a vice president, and obstruct the peaceful transition of power - name a few facts. I ams so looking forward to the debate because the pundits have the vice president choking while the convicted felon “weaves” his lies. They may be in for a big surprise!! I wonder if he will do his little two-fisted “jerk-off” jiggle again? He started it again at his rallies - I wonder if he is thinking of JD hitler or Elon Musk when he is doing the “jerk-off” jiggle because it definitely can’t be his current legal wife.

Tough & on target. One of my fave AAEC workshops summarized memorializing, "If your name isn't Mark Streeter, don't do it."

If there's a button to share, yes. It's OK. It's already on my FB page.
