Cartoon Saturday

It's time for the first Cartoon Saturday of a new month. Believe me, you're going to need the laughs ...

The second Trump-Kim summit ended in Hanoi with no substantive agreements on denuclearlization or sanctions relief; former Trump fixer and personal lawyer Michael Cohen testified before three different House committees, dodging the bullets he once said he'd take for his boss; nuclear-armed antagonists India and Pakistan squared off again, with India launching air strikes against alleged terrorist sites in Pakistan and Pakistan claiming to have downed two Indian jets; a federal judge in Texas ordered election officials to stop a planned purge of electoral rolls, calling their effort “ham-handed” and “threatening,” and saying there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud in the state; and in Alabama, two people were arrested on assault and disorderly conduct charges after engaging in a brawl over helpings of crab legs at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

This week, we lament the woeful circus that is playing where Congress used to be with a series of cartoons about politics, politicians, and their games ...

Why you have to carefully read between the lines ...

He's probably a Republican, scared to death of Mr Trump ...

It seems like a good match ...

This is pretty much how Congressional hearings work ...

Bull's-Eye!! ...

Obviously ...

Well-played ...

Does it remind you of anyone? ...

Yep ...

For those of you who believe you'll never be able to get a job with a degree in Linguistics ...

And that's it for our first Cartoon Saturday for the new month. Helping you laugh when you can't cry ... it's how I roll.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Poetry Sunday returns for another month.
