Political cartoonists and analysts Ted Rall (of the Left) and Scott Stantis (of the Right) discuss the week’s current events and politics. First, the political classes try to determine whether Joe Biden’s reelection bid can be salvaged after the special counsel’s devastating assessment that he’s too senile to be charged with a felony over mishandling classified documents and, if not, will Democrats force him out and how exactly will that work?
Next, Democrats take disgraced Congressman George Santos’ former seat in New York by a comfortable margin. What, if anything, does this portend for the GOP’s chances overall this fall?
Finally, Republicans take a second stab at impeaching Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas over the border crisis, and succeed. Everyone gets an impeachment! But does it matter?

AtT: First principles, Ted. Simplicity. Read Marcus Aurelius. Of each particular thing ask: what is it in itself? What is its nature? What does he do, this man you seek to critique?
Ted: He kills the chance of Trump not getting into office because Joe’s too old …
AtT: No. That is incidental. What is the first and principal thing he does that kills the democrats’ chances?
Ted: Ego gratification, and, uh, social acceptance …
AtT : No! … It’s because he’s losing his grasp on reality, not because he’s old. Ah, Dr. Chilton, I believe you know each other.
