i'm not sure why garrison even made a cartoon about obama in the first place. aren't political cartoons supposed to be topical and related to the news?

He's Garrison. He's kind of an idiot.

Trump is re-nominating Kathleen Hartnett White to be head the White House Council on Environmental Quality after she failed to be approved last year.

She once wrote
No matter how many times, [sic] the President, EPA, and press rant about dirty carbon pollution, there is no pollution about carbon itself! As a dictionary will tell you, carbon is the chemical basis of all life. Our flesh, blood, and bones are built of carbon. Carbon dioxide (CO2) is the gas of life on this planet, an essential nutrient for plant growth on which human life depends. How craftily our government has masked these fundamental realities and the environmental benefits of fossil fuels!


We need more CO2 emissions!

Republicans don't care about facts, so of course omitting a few doesn't bother them in the slightest!

Also, if Nunes wants to open Pandora's box...

If this memo comes out, I have a long list of less sensitive, but still classified, information that the American people deserve to see. #secretlaw


Wyden is on the Senate finance committee, so he's implying there are some juicy financial dealings that he may release if Nunes goes public.

DEMOCRATIC LEADER - Pelosi Sends Letter to Speaker Ryan Calling for Removal of Chairman Nunes and End to House Republicans Partisan Charade

[...]

Congressman Nunes deliberately dishonest actions make him unfit to serve as Chairman, and he must be removed immediately from this position.

House Republicans pattern of obstruction and cover-up to hide the truth about the Trump-Russia scandal represents a threat to our intelligence and our national security. The GOP has led a partisan effort to distort intelligence and discredit the U.S. law enforcement and intelligence communities.

It is long overdue that you, as Speaker, put an end to this charade and hold Congressman Nunes and all Congressional Republicans accountable to the oath they have taken to support and defend the Constitution, and protect the American people.

The integrity of the House is at stake. We look forward to your immediate action on this subject.

House Speaker Paul Ryan responded in a news conference Thursday by defending House Intelligence Chairman Devin Nunes and supporting the release of the committee's Republican memo that alleges abuses of the FISA surveillance law. He said the Nunes memo "does not impugn the Mueller investigation or the deputy attorney general," Rod Rosenstein.
"Congress doing its job in conducting legitimate oversight over a very unique law, FISA, and if mistakes were made and if individuals did something wrong then it is our job as the legislative branch of government to conduct oversight over the executive branch if abuses were made," Ryan said. "What this is not is an indictment on our institutions of our justice system. This memo is not an indictment of the FBI, of the Department of Justice."
Ryan dismissed the calls to remove Nunes as chairman, saying Democrats were "playing politics."

And just to vent about this administration a minute, ya'll know I'm summarizing this Presidency one month a year ago at a time. I did my piece on January 2017 on the 13th, and just since then:

Porn star affairs and hush money
Shithole countries
42% of Republicans think accurate negative news is still fake
Government shutdown
Bannon's subpoena
Fake News Awards
Sebastian Gorka has a Hungarian warrant
Wisconsin's Democrat upset
Puerto Rico's told they're too rich so they must take private loans AND also FEMA cuts off aid
Carl Higbie resigned
GOP illegally benefitted from PA gerrymandering
30% tariff on solar panels
CNN was threatened by a caller
Pope warns against fake news
29% of Anerica's don't think Donald is a moral leader
Chinese man arrested for investigating Ivanka's shoe factory
Taylor Weyeneth resigns
News comes out Donald called for Mueller to be fired
Dutch agencies confirm Russia attacked us
Women have nasty snake-filled heads
White House was offered a golden toilet called America
XFL players will stand
Donald discredited potential FBI witnesses
Steve Wynn sexual abuse allegations
Spars with Jay-Z
Donald skips Russia sanctions AGAIN
McCabe steps down with controversy
45% of Americans want impeachment
Assange messaged someone he thought was Sean Hannity
Ryan calls for an FBI cleanse
Donald's talking about prosecuting Mueller
Kathleen Hartnett White was renominated
Trump officials discussed reverse abortions for undocumented minors
Hope Hicks gets targeted for Obstruction of Justice
Nunes altered the memo

All this in like eighteen days I didn't cover last month, and Donald's approval rating went up half a point during this time too.

This world is something wild right now.
