Cartoon Saturday

Oh, what a week ...

Secretary of Defense James Mattis resigned his position over a policy dispute with Donald Trump; stung by criticism from Faux News and other conservative pundits, Donald Trump reversed his earlier position and refused to sign a government funding bill, leading to a partial shutdown of the government ... including his beloved Department of Homeland Security; the beautiful, iconic rings around the planet Saturn are decaying, and will be gone entirely in about 100 million years; Donald Trump, ignoring the advice of his advisors, announced (on Twitter, of course) the precipitous withdrawal of 2000 US troops from Syria and directed planning for the withdrawal of half of the US forces in Afghanistan (leading to the resignation of James Mattis); and acting Attorney General Matt Whitaker has reportedly disregarded the advice of a Justice Department ethics official to step aside from overseeing special counsel Robert Mueller's Russia investigation.

Christmas is just three days away, and we really need something worth laughing at ... so what could be better for Cartoon Saturday than a second collection of Christmas-related cartoons?

Me, too ...

Merry Christmas from the gun lobby ...

Donkey miles? ...

Busted! ...

At least the workshop wasn't partially shut down ...

Well, why not? ...

We wish you a merry GOP Christmas ...

Sad, but true ...

It's all in how you look at it ...

Oops ...

I hope you enjoyed this collection ... heaven knows we all need a good laugh at this chaotic time.

Have a good day and a great weekend, come back tomorrow for the Christmas edition of Poetry Sunday, and don't forget to vote for your preferred Ass Clown of the Year. More thoughts coming soon.
