The Daily Cartoon and Live Briefing: Friday, November 15, 2024

November 15, 2024 | FlaglerLive | 1 Comment

matt gaetz clay jones
From Clay Jones: Scott Jennings, CNN’s conservative analyst argued last night that Donald Trump has approval from voters to form a government that’s not business as usual. I think we can all agree that appointing a possible pedophile as Attorney General is NOT business as usual. Jennings also argued that every one of Trump’s cabinet picks deserves a hearing. Jennings, like half the Republican Party, is treating the appointment of Matt Gaetz as Attorney General seriously, like it’s not a corrupt joke. Scott Jennings ignores that despite winning (gag) the election, Trump’s approval ratings are seven points underwater and with picks like Matt Gaetz as Attorney General, they’ll only sink deeper. Even among Trump sycophants, this is a hard one to swallow. Scott, learn to spit.  Congressman, former Congressman now, Matt Gaetz is the gooniest of the goons. It doesn’t get much worse than Matt Gaetz. Gaetz is probably the slimiest of all the MAGAts, and not just because of the six quarts of motor oil he puts on his head every morning. Matt Gaetz is such a slimy unethical rotten vile-to-the-core piece of rancid dog shit that other Republicans don’t like him…except for Lauren Boebert, Marjorie Taylor Greene, and Donald Trump. Was Lionel Hutz not available (I Can’t Believe It’s A Law Firm)?” Read the rest at Substack.

Notably: One of the funniest and raunchiest (the two words are redundant when referring to Roth) in Philip Roth’s Sabbath’s Theater are Mickey Sabbath’s scenes at the graveside of his beloved Drenka, the only Roth character who manages to outdo his male protagonists’ depravities. If you remember what Portnoy did with that piece of liver, you can imagine what Mickey does at graveside. Roth must’ve been thinking at deskside: how can I top that? He did, but by 1995, when Sabbath’s Theater was published–during that unbelievable splurge of late-career novels that included Operation Schylock, American Pastoral and The Human Stain, plus those Nemesis books–there was no one left in American to shock. We were on the eve of the blue dress, black sites and, not much later, the pussy-grabber, so looking back, Mickey’s touching moments at graveside look a bit more like the sort of fairy tales you might find in middle school books. Still: when I saw that cartoon you see above by Chris Britt, whose work until then I did not know, I had to think of Mickey Sabbath, and had to wonder: what, exactly, was Chris Britt meaning Trump to be doing there? Propriety may have kept him from being more explicit. But his reserve may also be the hint. Now what will the new Infowars make of that? See below.

“Prisons are simply pimples on a corrupt world,” Hawkins said. “The great criminals, I mean the real enemies of man’s welfare and peace and happiness, never go near a prison and the dead ones, out in these cemeteries, have the highest tombstones over their heads. Normal men with abnormal tendencies. Abnormal men with normal tendencies. My God. It is a wonder people do not smell, their minds are so rotten. Excuse I me, young lady.”

–From Edward Anderson’s Thieves Like Us (1937).
