Cartoon Saturday

It's been quite a week, hasn't it? ... 

The FBI informant on which House Republicans have based their attempts to impeach President Biden for being the head of a "crime family" has been arrested by the FBI for lying in his testimony; Russian news sources have reported that opposition figure Alexey Navalny has - strangely enough - died in prison; the judge in Der Furor's New York trial on fraud charges has levied a fine of more than $350 million on Der Furor and his sons, and has prohibited them from operating in New York City for three years; in an amazing example of GOP diplomatic acumen, Georgia Representative Empty G said that the Foreign Secretary of the United Kingdom could "kiss my ass;" and in the financially challenged Chicago suburb of Dolton, banks have threatened to repossess a large number of town assets - including six police cars. 

Super Tuesday is coming up in a few weeks, The Election is in November, and in between will be an unprecedented and hideously expensive bombardment of fact-challenged balderdash. It's time to start getting ready by taking our first cartoon look of the season at the subject of elections ... 

George Burns once commented that it was too bad all the people who knew how to fix the country were busy driving cabs and cutting hair ...

The ultimate goal of the MAGA movement ...

We have the best government money can buy, thanks to Citizens United ... 

I can sympathize ...

Why you really don't have a choice ...

Yes, that's about how it would work ...

Didn't you ever wonder why none of the down-ballot races seem to be "rigged" if the outcome is what was hoped? ...

This is clearly the GOP playbook ... when you don't have a platform of your own, distort the other guy's ...

Debate by meme ... it's the modern method of campaigning for people who think only in bumper stickers ...

It wouldn't surprise me ...

And that's how it is for our first Cartoon Saturday visit to the wonderful world of elections. You know you needed something to laugh at.

Have a good day and a great weekend, and come back tomorrow for a nostalgic Poetry Sunday. More thoughts then.

Bilbo.
