Editorial Cartoonists Ted Rall and Scott Stantis discuss and dissect the issues of the day. First up, the U.S. House of Representatives has begun an impeachment inquiry of President Joe Biden.

Bipartisanship is dead. But job-killing trade agreements like NAFTA were promoted by politicians of both major parties alike—until Donald Trump. “Our politicians have aggressively pursued a policy of globalization, moving our jobs, our wealth and our factories to Mexico and overseas. Globalization has made the financial elite, who donate to politicians, very, very wealthy. I used to be one of them,” he told an audience in Pennsylvania in 2016. “Many of these areas have never recovered and never will unless I become president.
