Kiss My Red Herring Fishtail

Kiss My Red Herring Fishtail is a comic strip about non-partisan opinions in conjunction with addressing political topics reminding us that humanity is first.

I'm suing Kari Lake.

I'd hoped the defamation would stop after the election. I waited.

I'd hoped it would stop after the first election trial. I waited.

I'd hoped it would stop after the appeal. I waited.

I'd hoped it would stop after the second trial. I waited.

I'd hoped it would stop after she got a new job. I waited.

But then I realized I AM the job. Defaming me is her path to campaign donations, speaking opportunities, and national trips.

I live a very lucky, wonderful life.

But these defamatory statements have altered my life. For the worse. Materially.

And just because I live a great life doesn't mean I have to sit back while somebody says false things about me and says I did truly horrible things -- things that multiple courts found to be false.

I wish it would have stopped on its own.

But it didn't.

So today I'm suing Kari Lake to hopefully put an end to the false statements.

Thanks to @yvonnewingett and @marianaa_alfaro of the @washingtonpost for this write up.

It is the first interview I've given on this. And it is the only one I will give today.

It strikes me as extremely sad for our country that this isn't a bipartisan statement being made by leaders from both parties

[Jack Hopkins @thejackhopkins]

I said this a while back, and I’m going to say it again. It’s that important. You can argue it, if you like, but, it won’t change the truth of what I say.

Whether Fani Willis or Jack Smith indict, prosecute and convict Donald Trump before, or after the election…it doesn’t matter. Not in the grand scheme of things.

If Donald Trump fell over dead today, do you actually think the GOP is going to snap back into a 1980 republican party? If so, you are delusional.

The structure is now in place, and, in Trump’s absence, there are others who would quickly move to fill the vacuum created by Trump’s departure. They have decided on the path they are going to take, and they are going to stay on that path, with….or without Donald Trump.

We have to grasp this. The failure to do so comes with the potential for serious consequences.

Donald Trump is no longer THE problem. That window closed quickly. Now, he is merely a part of the problem. Collectively, though, the radicalized GOP is a BIG problem.

Look, my deep desire to see Trump prosecuted and convicted is driven by a simple fact: like many of you, I just fucking hate this guy. I want to see his orange punk ass brought to justice.

However, I don’t, for one second….think that Trump is THE problem we must tackle. The problem to overcome…is the GOP and the fascism that is now woven through it. The GOP supports Trump. They defend Trump. Trump is NOTHING without them. The GOP….is the problem.

We must vote. We must donate. We must break records with everything we do. More money than ever before. More people casting their votes than ever before. Overkill. Do it all on a level of ethical and moral extremism. It has to be.

So, while we all want to see Trump’s ass in an orange jump suit, his conviction doesn’t end the threat to democracy. We’re way beyond that. The GOP is the threat to democracy, now, and for the foreseeable future.

The GOP….is what we have to dismantle. Dismantle, as in take it DOWN with our votes, support and donations. Over, and over…and over again.

[Anna M. Kaplan @AnnaMKaplan]

George Santos has defrauded the people of New York’s 3rd Congressional district. We deserve new representation.

I know what it takes to win because I’ve won before.

That’s why, tomorrow morning, I will be making a big announcement. Follow me to be the first to know.

[The Forward @jdforward]

Anna Kaplan, a former Democratic state senator from Nassau County, announced her candidacy against Rep. George Santos on Thursday.

[Anna M. Kaplan @AnnaMKaplan]

New York's 3rd Congressional district will decide the House majority. I am the Democrat running to defeat George Santos, flip this district, and restore integrity back to our district.

Join me and chip in to help me win this race: https://t.co/VntG6dgp6y

[Anna M. Kaplan @AnnaMKaplan]

When I ran for state senate, I defeated a Republican incumbent, flipping control of the New York Senate to Democrats for the first time in decades.

Now, I am running for Congress to defeat George Santos, flip New York's 3rd, and restore a Democratic majority in the House.

[Anna M. Kaplan @AnnaMKaplan]

I'm not afraid of a tough fight. I flipped a red to blue seat in the New York state senate, and I will flip another seat to restore a Democratic majority in the House of Representatives.

[Anna M. Kaplan @AnnaMKaplan]

🚨 My name is Anna Kaplan, and I am proud to announce my campaign to defeat George Santos.

As a mother, former child refugee, and proud Democrat, I am ready to restore honest leadership in Congress.

Join me and let's defeat Santos.

[Liz Cheney @Liz_Cheney]

On Jan 6, Donald Trump refused for over three hours to tell the violent mob to leave the Capitol, despite pleas from his White House staff, members of his family and many others. No matter how many times he lies about this, the facts won’t change. He is unfit for any office.

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

BREAKING: In a SHOCKING move, two Texas Republicans just joined the Democrats to PASS the “Raise The Age” gun control bill out of committee in the Texas Legislature!

That's right – TEXAS!

Don't ever let anyone tell you we can't win. Because we WILL.

The NRA is freaking out, because they know this opens up a huge door for the rest of the country. I know from personal experience that sane local laws can lead to national exposure — and national CHANGE.

We're doing it!!!

More details below shortly on the next steps. 👇🧵

[Jon Cooper 🇺🇸 @joncoopertweets]

BREAKING: Four members of the Proud Boys, including their former leader Enrique Tarrio, were convicted today of seditious conspiracy for plotting to keep Trump in power after his election defeat by leading a violent mob in attacking the Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021.

The verdicts, coming after seven days of deliberations in Federal District Court in Washington, were a major blow against one of the country’s most notorious far-right groups and another milestone in the Justice Department’s vast investigation of the Capitol insurrection.

Female Republicans. When will you FINALLY understand that you've been conned??? You've been duped into voting against yourselves and all other women in America. How do you live with yourselves? Your daughters suffer from your actions. Shame!

@FacePalm_Lord @Michell33650674 The far right wing is attempting to remove all rights that we as women should have such as the right to choose, taking away the funding for healthy births, & saving our lives during pregnancy complications!!!!! #womenempowerment
