Cartoon Saturday

Please, just make it stop ...

Donald Trump continued to badger and undermine his Attorney General, Jeff Sessions, leading Sessions to push back and Trump to whine that Sessions should be investigating Democrats and other Trump critics; respected senator and war hero John McCain has decided to stop medical treatments for his aggressive form of brain cancer; the Chief Financial Officer of the Trump Organization has been granted immunity from prosecution in exchange for his testimony in the investigation of Trump fixer Michael Cohen; CNN shouting head Chris Cuomo and White House shouting head Kellyanne Conway engaged in a shameful shouting match in which they shouted over each other, traded accusations of "how dare you!", and generally accomplished nothing beyond embarrassing each other and their professions*; and California Representative Duncan Hunter, accused of spending a quarter of a million dollars of campaign contributions on personal luxuries and travel, tried to shift the blame to his wife, saying that she handled the family finances.

Oy. Just, oy.

This week, in "honor" of the continuing abomination of Donald Trump's relentless attacks on law and the judicial system, I thought a collection of cartoons about lawyers would be appropriate ...

Trial planning in the 21st century ...

If the shoe fits ...

It's not easy finding enough jurors with all these witch hunts going on ...

Yes, remember ...

Positive ID ...

There's bias, and there's bias ...

I feel this way every time I see a Rudy Giuliani or a Michael Avenatti fulminating on television ...

This is from my Trump-to-English dictionary ...

"Thanks" to Kellyanne Conway for this sad addition to our legal lexicon ...

And that's the truth ...

Perhaps Shakespeare was right.

Have a good day and a great weekend. Come back tomorrow for Musical Sunday, this week featuring Lady Gaga ... because why the hell not?

More thoughts later.
