Mike Ramirez and Argus Hamilton on the impeachment project for Maxine Waters

Mike Ramirez  "Ramirez, who studied premed at the University of California, Irvine, originally considered journalism a hobby. But he was hooked when his first cartoon for the college newspaper, lampooning candidates for student office, had the student assembly demanding an apology.
" 'Editorial cartoons should be smart and substantive, provocative and informative. They should stir passions and deep emotions. Editorial cartoons should be the catalyst for thought, and frankly speaking, if you can make politicians think, that is an accomplishment in itself. If I don't get at least one death threat every few months, then I'm not doing my job," Ramirez says of his penchant for sparking controversy.
"In addition to the 1994 and 2008 Pulitzer Prizes, Ramirez was the 2008 winner of the prestigious Fischetti Award. He is a three-time Sigma Delta Chi, Society of Professional Journalism Award winner, a Lincoln Fellow and a recipient of the UCI Medal.
"He is a senior editor and the editorial cartoonist for Investor's Business Daily. He is formerly the editorial cartoonist for the Los Angeles Times, The Memphis Commercial Appeal and a contributing cartoonist for USA Today. His work is syndicated by Creators Syndicate.
"Don't leave without checking out his editorial cartoons and Ramirez Caricatures."

"Comedy Store reran the impeachment hearings on a back-bar TV before comics who know the facts of the case better than House Members from our own experience. You play the cover charge, we tell the jokes, and that’s the quid pro quo. How hard or how little you laugh is the trial that follows.

"The White House Counsel wrote House Democrats Tuesday saying an impeachment inquiry without a House vote to impeach is invalid. The comedy continues. Joe Biden demanded that Trump be impeached for questioning the honesty of the Eastern European billionaire Hunter Biden."
"Chairman Adam Schiff's impeachment inquiry yielded no eyewitnesses to Trump wrongdoing and ended in Schiff having to deny multiple times he met with the whistleblower. I have just one question for Adam Schiff. How much is Donald Trump paying you to stage this inquiry?"
