One of Ann Telnaes' toughest cartoons, and one of her very best.

1. "McConnell slithers back to supporting Trump." A classic for sure.

[speak easy]

3. McConnell is a poisonous snake, a viper.

He is a reptile all right, but not a plodding, snapping turtle. He does his 'best' work deep in the weeds.

[Hortensis]

5. +1000. A snake who "does his 'best' work deep in the weeds."

[speak easy]

8. McConnell is one of the most effective standover men in Senate history.

He bares his fangs behind locked doors.

2. McConnell is a traitor and an evil snake.

[speak easy]

4. Turtles and vipers are reptiles, both

[Baitball Blogger]

6. Yup. This is where we are today.

[young_at_heart]

7. Brutal but excellent

His eyes are scary!!

[Paladin]

9. That one ought to be framed and hung on a Capitol wall.

Somewhere above the insurrectionists' shit-smear level.

[llashram]

10. yep

quite the statement on GOP of racists and their hypocrisy. MM, twisting and squirming like the snake he is.

[Oldem]

11. McConnell is the worst kind of politician in existence.

He calculates every move based on how it will profit him. He intends to be majority leader, again, and he will lie and degrade himself to regain that power. By this time, I think he's so deep in deceit that he doesn't even recognize deceit. Kentucky needs a Democratic candidate of heroic proportions, probably more than any other state. I thought Amy McGrath might have the goods, but the snake has his coils around too many levers of power in his state.

Or maybe Mitch could get caught in a major scandal.

[LaMouffette]

12. And he is absolutely gleeful in his hypocrisy. I'll never forget the look on his face when

someone asked him if he would fill a Supreme Court seat if there were an opening in the last year of the Trump administration, given that he had blocked Merrick Garland from even getting a hearing:

"Oh, we'd fill it!"

And so he did.

[Grokenstein]

13. Hopefully both McConnell and Dim-Don

will be room temperature before 2024.

[niyad]

15. I am hoping for before this summer.

[LittleGirl]

17. We cannot move forward with those two.

Period end of story.

[niyad]

14. Excellent.

[Hekate]

16. Kicktoons

[Joinfortmill]

18. That's him.

[BobTheSubgenius]

19. A wordless cartoon could hardly be pithier.

[GoCubsGo]

20. You knew he was a snake when you let him in.

That applies to everyone in the current GOP.

[HUAJIAO]

25. I see what you did there.. :)))

21. Ann Telnaes won a Pulitzer Prize for editoral cartoons..K and R

First time I have heard the name...but I am sure I have seen the editorial cartoons before. This one in the Original Post is outstanding. Thank You for posting.
And I didn't know until today, a little while ago, when I looked it up, that she won the Pulitzer Prize..

22. I find this offensive.

Snakes are beautiful, graceful, surprisingly sophisticated creatures. Their ‘sneakiness’ is akin to the stealthiness of a cat, not the duplicitousness of a scam artist.

Snakes are very far above McConnell.

24. McConnell is a poisonous viper who bares his fangs behind locked doors.

[cab67]

26. actually....

...snakes aren't poisonous. Some of them are venomous. (Poisonous = having poison in or on the tissues, e.g. poisonous frogs, toadstools, etc; venomous = being able to deliver venom to a victim, e.g. venomous snake, spider, stingray, etc.)

And I still strongly dislike the comparison.

23. K & R

Great toon
