9. BOOM SHA-KA-LAKA-LAKA...

The Man Without a Soul.

Oops - make that “Men”.

Ooopsie again ... NOT “Men”. “Lice” would be more accurate.

21. Seinfeld: "...not that there's anything wrong with that."

22. That's interesting...nt

[Ohiogal]

2. Wow!

I guess some things never change!

[Hortensis]

10. Oh, it changed! Republicans are now a HUGE threat to the constitution.

We thought their realization that their white male supremacy party would have to change to survive meant they'd become less extreme and far more representative. They've clearly chosen a very different, and final, solution to their ballot problems.

[gratuitous]

15. Oh there's a BIG change

Trump doesn't have to ask where his supporters' loyalties lie, and it isn't with that quaint old document.

Herblock was an Editorial cartoonist for the WASHINGTON POST.

11. K and R

Fuck Nixon.

Fuck Trump.

[Karadeniz]

12. Has time stood still?

[dmr]

13. Sadly, GOP disloyalty to our Constitution is far more serious and dangerous today.

[Hekate]

14. Herb Block appeared in a lot of papers, so I remember him well. This is spot on, then and now.

[Azathoth]

16. At least back then the GOP was conflicted

Today the figure would be enthusiastically under Trump's desk.

[volstork]

17. Everything old is new again.

Will we ever learn?

[question everything]

19. ding ding ding ding

my late mum said that they are still taking revenge for nixon.

[CaptYossarian]

20. Instead of being true to the Oath of Office,

they're loyal to the OAF of Office.

The GOP now stands for Government Of Putin. Joe McCarthy thought the Commies infiltrated the Army, quite a few media figures, and some of our elected officials in the 1950s. Now they own the NRA, Fox News, Sinclair, right wing hate radio, and the entire Republican Party.

That's a lot of useful idiots.
