De-Obamafication
I'm burning the candle at both ends this week, a little more than usual anyway. Trying to keep up with news events and cranking out the cartoons. (And teaching a political cartooning seminar to high school kids for a few days.)
The script for this animation had a few last-minute changes thanks to the House Republicans trying to gut the ethics office. Thanks to Stephanie Riggio for putting up with some after-the-fact voice changes! Enjoy the cartoon, and depending on your reward level, keep your eyes peeled for some new and updated posters and prints!
While everyone has been focusing on President-elect Trump’s tweets, Republicans in Congress are beginning to implement their extremist vision. Sure, an upstart group of House Republicans backed down on gutting the ethics office, but there is plenty more to come.

The Congressional Republican agenda (and the party as a whole) has been getting more extreme every year. Now that they’ve got someone in the White House who will sign their right wing plans into law, a lot is about to change.
In some ways, Donald Trump is looking less like a strongman and more like a nutty guy who will rubber stamp a far right policy prescription that has been waiting for him all along.
Republican Congress poised to roll back Obama era
The new breed of Republicans has finally found their president “with enough working digits to handle a pen.”

Enjoy the cartoon, and keep your eyes peeled for the actual policies, not just the latest Trump dustup.
Thanks, as always, for your support it helps make these cartoons possible!
