Cartoon Saturday

We're down to the Christmas wire, and the gifts have already been distributed to corporations and the wealthy.

The Trump administration struck a mighty blow for America this week, angering almost the entire world by threatening any country in the UN who voted in favor of a resolution condemning Mr Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the capitol of Israel - the threat was ignored by a vote of 128 to 9*, with 35 abstentions; three people were killed and at least 24 injured when an Amtrak train derailed in Washington state; Congress passed a huge overhaul of the nation's tax system on a party-line vote; the UN Security Council voted unanimously to impose tougher sanctions on North Korea in response to its recent ballistic missile tests; and in Mexico, the bodies of six men were found hanging from bridges near the popular resort of Cabo San Lucas - the state's attorney general's office said the cases were being investigated as homicides**.

With only two more days until Christmas, what could be more festive than a collection of Christmas season-oriented cartoons? ...

Well, it had to come out eventually ...

Good advice for reindeer, too ...

And step on it! ...

Santa's new approach ...

I feel a lawsuit coming on ...

Gives new meaning to the expression, Rocky Mountain High, doesn't it? ...

Sadly, it's even needed at the North Pole ...

Well, Santa ... interested? ...

They later ran for Congress ...

It's coming ...

There's just one more Cartoon Saturday to go in this year - don't miss it one week from today.

Have a good day and a peaceful, joyous holiday weekend, no matter which holiday you choose to observe. And get those votes in for the Ass Clown of the Year! Come back tomorrow for our updated annual Christmas Eve post.

* Those who voted in favor of Mr Trump's recognition were the powerhouse nations of Guatemala, Honduras, Togo and the Pacific island states of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands, Nauru and Palau. Every traditional American ally voted against the US except for Australia and Canada, which abstained.
