In case you missed it, Republicans in Congress did something else once they finally agreed to come back to work & open the government. Millions of Americans, especially farmers, may wish Congress had just stayed closed…
paulfell.substack.com/p/holey-cow
Scene is a rural countryside, with a grain silo in the background. On the left side of the image is a cow, with giant holes all over it, like Swiss cheese, and labeled "Farm Bill Extension." On the right side of the image, in the foreground, is a shocked farmer, looking at his cow that was just brought back by a Congressman, also standing on the right side of the image, further back. That's where an arrogant Congressman, who has the lead for the cow im his hand, say indignantly to the farmer, "Aren't you even going to thank me?"

The cause & effect for what Republicans are doing in the U.S. today isn't rocket science - but it's still beyond their abilities to see.

Scene is a rich man, in a tux, wearing a green vest with dollar signs on it. The rich man has just ripped a box out of the hands of a regular man so fast the man is falling on his behind. The box he took is labeled "Jobs." The rich man is putting the box on a stack of boxes he's clearly keeping from the regular man, with labels like "Food," "Education," "Housing," and "Health Care." In the top left corner of this image is a big label that says "How To Get Americans To Embrace Socialism Instead Of Capitalism." At the bottom is another label that says "Rule #1: Take Away Their Stuff."

While Donald Trump may think what's happening with the Epstein Files has landed on him like some kind of fupped duck, it's just the latest sign the only kind of duck Trump & his MAGA cronies should be worried about is the lame one they're all chained to.
paulfell.substack.com/p/the-end-ha...
Scene is Donald Trump, standing in front of a full moon, annoyed at the giant duck that's landed on his head and hunched over shoulders, that has a cast on one foot, and is labeled "Epstein E-Mails."

Scene is the edge of a high mountain cliff, with the anthropomorphic avatars of the Democratic Party & The Republican Party. The Democratic donkey, wearing a blue shirt, is holding a bamboo pole, about to walk out on a tightrope over a canyon. Standing next to him is the Republican elephant, extending his right arm over the canyon, and saying "Go ahead and cross. I promise to have a bridge finished before you get to the other side…" Behind the elephant's back, he's clearly holding a hachet.

If you think Democrats have a problem with their #TraitorDems, you haven't met Nebraska's elected Republicans, who don't give a damn about following the law…

Scene is an open ballot box, and sitting inside the ballot box is a giant rat, holding a clearly labeled "ballot" the rat is clearly been eating. The rat is labeled "Medical Marijuana Foes"

Afternoon reports that some Democratic Senators may yield completely to Republican demands in return for the mere scheduling of a December vote to keep premiums affordable for those relying upon the Affordable Care Act (ACA). This would represent trading something for nothing.

You might say Nebraska's elected Republican leaders are in the middle of cutting off their noses to spit their faces - but the budget situation there is a real bear & cuts far deeper than that.
paulfell.substack.com/p/cutting-of...
Scene has a large tree trunk in the center of the image, as the perspective is aimed down the tree trunk from a high point. On a small branch of the tree hangs a man wearing a red shirt labeled "NEBR." At the base of the tree are two large bears, each with an axe, on each side of the tree. On the left, the bear is labeled "$451M Budget Shortfall" while the bear on the right is labeled "Lower tax revenue." The bear on the left says to the other bear, "After you!" The second bear replies, "Oh no, after you!"

And now, a quick musical break while we're all waiting for election results…

Scene is three anthropomorphic elephants, one playing a piano, one a guitar, and one the drums, and all three saying in unison, "I will now play 'The shutdown is the fault of the Democrats!'"

No, Democrats don't have one single leader for the whole party. Only an alien, clueless to the realities of today's Democratic Party, would even think they should…
paulfell.substack.com/p/democrats-...
Scene is two green aliens, standing in the foreground of the image, with their spaceship in the background. One of them asks two anthropomorphic donkey men, both wearing blue sweaters with a large "D" on their chest, to "Take us to your leader." Both donkey men look at the alien, and at each other with giant question marks above their heads, shrugging.

So the president took a dementia test, and then they administered an MRI. Where’s the media on this?

A judge decided to allow the temporary injunction to lapse, which allows Gov. Pillen & his toadies to hand the now-former Nebraska Work Ethic Camp over to Trump’s DHS as a new facility to hold people Trump’s DHS captures

Whatever game Nebraska's Republican governor thinks he's playing with the #CornhuskerClink, he's certainly not on the side of Nebraskans…
paulfell.substack.com/p/flim-flam-...
Scene is a man playing a version of the shell game with a clearly confused person. The man is a caricature of Nebraska Gov. Jim Pillen, in a red coat, wearing an old dog-ear leather football "helmet," trying to con the confused person, a man in a suit labeled "taxpayers." As Pillen holds one of the three sheels in his hand, above a "table" that's clearly an upside down box, he says to the Taxpayer, "Congratulations! You just won the brand new Kornhusker Koncentration Camp!"

Given that secondary education institutions are full of very intelligent people, many of the decisions being made around them are very dumb…
paulfell.substack.com/p/get-smarter
Scene is on a railroad track. On the left side of the image, at the back of a railroad push cart, a professor, wearing a mortar board is on the ground, pushing that cart, while visibly sweating. Riding the cart, and looking ahead, is a gigantic fat person, clearly dressed as a school administrator. A text billboard says: "*News Item* New studies reveal U.S. Universities (Including UNL) sped more on administrators and managers than they do professors."

Republicans don't seem to understand that "No" means NO - from the orange monster in the White House (that he's partially knocking down), all the way down to Nebraska Republicans. But when the people say "NO!" they should listen…
paulfell.substack.com/p/republican...
Scene is in a restaurant. At the center of the image is an angry patron, looking down at burnt pile of something on a plate being set in front of him by a head waiter, who is an anthropomorphic elephant. That elephant says to the man, "Compliments of the Nebr. Republicans! Bon Appetit!" Behind the disgruntled diner are two more chef elephant men carrying food platters labeled "hand count ballots" and "Winner take all vote."

Even though Donald Trump & his regime have been protesting loudly about him not winning the Nobel Peace Prize, don't think they're suddenly in favor of protest. They might want to check the facts though, regarding their supposed submission for the award…

Scene is Donald Trump, unhappy, wearing a sandwich board, viewed from the front. His sandwich board reads "I got screwed" and has an image of a giant screw on it.

It'll be a real relief if farmers & other rural Americans finally learn from the second kick of the mule…
paulfell.substack.com/p/remember-i...
Scene has a farmer sitting on the ground in the center of the image, as two dogs try to chew off his arm & leg. A con man dressed in his flim-flam "finery" is holding a check out to the farmer, saying "Greetings, Mr. Farmer. The president sent this generous check to bail you out from your current situation." The con man continues, "He asks that you not forget him come election time…" The farmer replies to the con man, "Don't you worry. I'll remember."

Republicans have put themselves in a pickle over the shutdown - and most Americans know it…
paulfell.substack.com/p/unnecessar...
Scene has a giant jar of pickles taking up the left 2/3 of the image. The jar is filled with green "juice", and an anthropomorphic elephant wearing a red sweatshirt floating inside the jar, which is labeled "shutdown." The elephant-man is looking outside the jar to an anthropomorphic donkey who is wearing a blue sweatshirt. The donkey-man is pointing at the jar and saying to the elephant-man, "Look like you've got yourself in a bit of a pickle!"

When it comes to the U.S. govt. shutdown, Republicans have sawed off the only political branch they were standing on…
paulfell.substack.com/p/the-truth-...
Scene is a close-up of a pink elephant falling from the sky, holding a saw in its hand. A large tree branch is also falling with the elephant, as the elephant grits its teeth, and a thought bubble comes up that says "*#%?! Democrats."

If Republicans don’t want to be accused of being against democracy, they'd be wise to stop acting like rats;
paulfell.substack.com/p/runaway-re...
Scene is two rats with crazy looks on their faces running from the right side of the image to the left. On the right half of the image is a brown rat carrying a cupcake labeled "Medical Marijuana." On the left half on the image is a gray rat carrying a cupcake labeled "School Vouchers."
