President Donald Trump Fires Impeachment Witnesses

Posted: 07 Feb 2020 05:07 PM PST

EU Ambassador Gordon Sondland, a stand-out witness in the impeachment trial of President Trump, was fired on Friday, hours after LTC Alexander Vindman, a key national security official who testified that Trump's July 25 call with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky was "improper," was "escorted" from the White House. President Trump also fired Vindman's brother, LTC Yevgeny Vindman, from his position on the National Security Council.

Saturday Morning Political Cartoon Thread

Posted: 08 Feb 2020 08:00 AM PST

It's Saturday, folks. Let's all kick back with a cup of coffee and share some cartoons!

Feel free to share political cartoons in this thread. Besides our usual civility policy, there are three rules to follow:

  1. Every top-level comment must contain a political cartoon. This means no text-only top-level comments.
  2. It must be an original cartoon. This means no photographs, no edited cartoons, no memes and no image macros. OC is allowed, as is animation.
  3. Each top-level comment should only have a maximum of 3 cartoons.

That's all. Enjoy your weekend!
