Cartoon Saturday


Can we just skip forward to 2022? 

History was made on Wednesday, when Der Furor became the only American president to be impeached twice ... this time with limited GOP support; in the wake of last week's murderous riot and vandalism of the Capitol, metal detectors were installed outside the Senate chambers ... and numerous Republicans refused to pass through them, whining about limitations on their personal freedoms; Siegfried Fischbacher, one half of magic team of Siegfried & Roy, died at 81; an estimated 20,000 National Guard personnel will be assigned to Washington, DC to protect the inauguration of President Biden - more troops than are currently deployed in Afghanistan, Iraq, and Syria; and in New Zealand, hundreds of migrating geese are heavily polluting a lake with hundreds of pounds of ... poop ... leading for calls to have the birds culled and distributed to feed the poor.

This week, in response to the prevailing national mood and the rank stupidity of those who will believe just about anything, a collection of cartoons about conspiracy theories ... 

I'll never look at autumn the same way again ...


It's true ...


Conspiracy theories aren't new ...


Some people need it to make sense of the world ...


That'll teach him ...


It's a common worldview ...


Perhaps you shouldn't go ...


Some of them start early ...


Aha!! ...


That must be why my wine keeps running out ...


And that's it for this week's Cartoon Saturday ... perhaps, though, it's really Cartoon Sunday ... did you ever think about that?

Have a good day and a great weekend. Stay safe, and come back tomorrow for Poetry Sunday, if they let you. More thoughts then.

Is this a conspiracy to debunk conspiracies?

Great collection and a timely topic. I have no proof but many people are saying that tRUMP is one of those aliens but is just really bad at appearing like a human, hence the orange skin, and is just really bad at talking like a human, hence the idiotic things he says. If you think about it, it makes a lot of sense!
