I thought Dr Scally was about to admit defeat for Trump not getting impeached and stop posting for a couple weeks in despair

DINOSAUR SNOWBALL
https://claytoonz.com/2019/03/26/dinosaur-snowball/
Conservatives are not good with humor, especially when they try to use it to make a point. Usually, the only point they’ve made is that they’re morons.
In 2015, Republican Senator from Oklahoma, James Inhofe threw a snowball on the Senate floor to prove Climate Change doesn’t exist. What’s even more messed up is that at the time, he was chairman of the Senate Environment and Public Works Committee. Seriously.
Utah’s Senator Mike Lee said, “The solution to climate change is not this unserious resolution…the solution to so many of our problems at all times and in all places is to fall in love, get married, and have some kids.” Was that a joke? I can’t tell.
Mike Lee is a Mormon from Utah and the answer to Climate Change is the Osmond solution. Let’s make more of them.
On Tuesday, Lee went on the Senate floor to take down the Green New Deal and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, one of the bill’s sponsors. He didn’t bring a snowball with him. No. Instead, he brought…wait for it…a post of Ronald Reagan riding a dinosaur. Yeah, I don’t get it either. There were other props, like pictures of Aquaman.
Basically, he used three things that aren’t real. Dinosaurs, Aquaman, and Ronald Reagan.

Attorney General William Barr was supposed to be a voice of reason in the Trump administration. An old Washington hand, he had the stature and the backbone to protect the Justice Department from a White House that often seems to disdain the rule of law.
Turns out it isn’t so.
In a stunning two-sentence letter to a federal appeals court, the Justice Department announced on Monday that it would now seek the invalidation of the entire Affordable Care Act — every last one of its thousands of provisions.
The irresponsibility of this new legal position is hard to overstate. It’s a shocking dereliction of the Justice Department’s duty, embraced by Republican and Democratic administrations alike, to defend acts of Congress if any plausible argument can be made in their defense.
Nor is the Affordable Care Act some minor statute that can be shoved aside without disruption. It is now part of the basic plumbing of the American health care system. It guarantees protections for people with pre-existing medical conditions. It expanded Medicaid to cover 12.6 million more people, and it offers crucial protections to the 156 million Americans who get insurance through employers.
Beyond that, the law forces insurers to cover preventive care and contraception without charge; changed how hospitals and physicians bill for their services; requires fast-food restaurants to post calorie counts; cut hundreds of billions of dollars of Medicare spending; imposed hundreds of billions of dollars in taxes; and much, much more.
Unceremoniously ripping up the law would inflict untold harm on the health care system — and on all Americans who depend on it. Yet the Trump administration has now committed itself to doing just that.
Bump stocks, devices which according to the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives, allow a semiautomatic firearm to shoot more than one shot with a single pull of the trigger, will be banned in the United States starting Tuesday, despite an emergency request by gun owners to temporarily stop the Trump administration's ban while cases challenging the ban are on appeal.
Chief Justice John Roberts denied a request to temporarily delay the ban on bump stocks on Tuesday and another request to delay the ban is still pending with Justice Sonya Sotomayor.
In December 2018, the Justice Department issued a ruling that banned bump stocks after President Donald Trump had earlier issued guidance to former Attorney General Jeff Sessions to "dedicate all available resources to ... propose for notice and comment a rule banning all devices that turn legal weapons into machine guns.”
"We are faithfully following President Trump's leadership by making clear that bump stocks, which turn semiautomatics into machine guns, are illegal, and we will continue to take illegal guns off of our streets," then-acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker said in December.
The ban, which took effect at midnight, makes possession of a bump stock a felony, subject to up to 10 years in prison and a $250,000 fine.
White supremacist ideology and proposals or action against Muslims aren’t just online. Through thinktanks and rightwing politicians they have been made credible in government and media in the US and Europe.
The ideology of neo-Nazi terrorist Anders Behring Breivik has, since his 2011 attack in Norway, percolated quietly not just on the Internet fringes, but through places of power across the US, UK and elsewhere in Europe. The white supremacist movement has certainly internationalised online, but a pivotal mechanism of its transmission and legitimisation has operated via our institutions of democracy. If nothing is done to halt the spread of extremist ideology through political parties with mainstream leverage, the white nationalist attacks of the last year will escalate.
The latest attack, with 50 dead and many more injured at two mosques in Christchurch, New Zealand, was enabled by an extremist ideology that is becoming mainstream and can be traced back to a transatlantic nexus of white nationalist movements wanting to rehabilitate themselves by targeting Muslims. There is evidence that the US, UK and several EU governments have been infiltrated by organisations with ties to hardcore neo-Nazi groups, trying to influence governments using the discourses of national security and counter-extremism (1). They have an insidious agenda with dangerous ideals that threaten the core of democracy.
President Donald Trump condemned the New Zealand shooting but denied any link with a rise in white supremacism (2). His administration’s reluctance to acknowledge the ideology that inspired the attack may be connected with his appointees’ ties to those who promote racist theories.
The Christchurch attacker, Brenton Tarrant, called his manifesto ‘The Great Replacement’, the title of a 2011 book by the rightwing French intellectual Renaud Camus, which claimed that mass immigration from the Muslim world was replacing France’s white population (3). This theory of ‘white genocide’ is rooted in antisemitic writings from the Nazi era and has been repurposed by the far right to focus on a claimed Muslim biological, cultural and political takeover of western civilization. Camus, who supports far-right National Rally leader Marine Le Pen, is widely cited, even among France’s the centre right (4). The attractiveness of this French ideology to the US far right was evident in the Unite the Right riots in Charlottesville, Virginia, on 11-12 August 2017, where white supremacists shouted ‘Jews will not replace us’.
Before becoming Trump’s National Security Advisor, John Bolton was in 2012-18 chairman of the Gatestone Institute, a rightwing thinktank in New York which promoted the same racialised narrative. ...
"I've gotta say, being told you've not been indicted for betraying your country is a pretty low bar for a victory lap. If I don't run anyone over in my car tomorrow, I expect to celebrate with an ice cream cake..."
