Disney vs DeSantis | Filosofa's Word

I have just one little tidbit of news, and some of the better political cartoons I’ve saved over the past week or so for your viewing pleasure!

Has the law finally caught up with Georgie-boy?

Yep, Representative George Santos, the Republican’s head liar, is in federal custody as I write this! Couldn’t have happened to a more deserving guy. He has been charged by federal prosecutors with 13 counts of financial crimes including wire fraud (7 counts), money laundering (3 counts), stealing public funds (1 count) and lying in federal disclosure forms (2 counts).

But lest you think this is the end of his career in Congress … guess again! Ol’ Kevin McCarthy says he can continue to hold his seat in the U.S. House of Representatives! He says he obviously cannot serve on any committees but will still have a vote and retain his seat. Stay tuned, for I’m sure this will get interesting.

And now for the ‘toons …

HELP!!! My box of political cartoons is full to overflowing! This must mean it’s time to share the work of the multi-talented political cartoonists, yes? I say multi-talented, for they are not only able to draw a great ‘toon, often in a matter of minutes, but they are also well-versed in socio-political matters and share a voice of reason that is expressed through their art. Today’s offering is rather a hodgepodge of everything from Tucker Carlson to Ron DeSantis, the debt ceiling, Donald Trump and even Harry Belafonte! Most have a darkness to them, for that is the world we’re living in today, but they make their point ever so well.
