Cartoon Saturday

We've almost survived June. Almost ...

Yet another woman has come forth with a credible allegation of sexual misconduct (actual rape, this time) against Donald Trump; a pregnant woman in Alabama has been charged with manslaughter in the death of her unborn child after being shot in the stomach ... the woman who shot her has gone free, and the woman was indicted because police say she was at fault for initiating the shooting; during a meeting with Russian president Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the G-20 summit in Japan, Donald Trump joked about Russian interference in the upcoming presidential election, wagging a finger at Putin and saying "don't meddle in the election, please;" in a convoluted non-decision, the Supreme Court declined to get involved in solving the problem of politically-motivated gerrymandering, allowing existing gerrymanders to stand and effectively killing future lawsuits on the topic; and the first candidate debates of the 2020 election season took place on Wednesday and Thursday as 20 Democratic hopefuls took to the stage in Miami in an attempt to separate themselves from the herd.

There hasn't been a White House press briefing in months, which makes one wonder why the Executive Branch is funding a public information function at all. How about some cartoons about the media?

The sign-off I'd like to see ...

 When the occupant of the Oval Office threatens to jail journalists, it's a good talk to have ...

I agree ...

It's not true that nobody's buying fairy tales any more - Donald Trump still enjoys strong support among part of the population ...

 Me, too ...

Sigh ...

It's quite the stress test!

You could get whiplash listening to explanations coming out of the White House and its apologists ...

Fox is probably hiring ...

Yes, fairy tales can be useful preparation for later life ...

We just need to survive one more day to put the sad month of June behind us ... I'm crossing my fingers.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Musical Sunday returns.
