Cartoon Saturday

You just can't make this stuff up ... 

Many companies in China are setting up their own private militias, officially known as "Peoples Armed Forces Departments," which could both significantly increase the wartime size of the Peoples Liberation Army and serve as another means of social control; Der Furor wasted no time in comparing his self-inflicted legal woes with the imprisonment and death of Russian activist Alexei Navalny; a U.S. company more or less successfully conducted the first landing of an American-made vehicle on the Moon in more than 50 years ... the vehicle seems to be lying on its side, although many of its onboard experiments are still functioning;  extreme pro-life conservatives punched themselves in the face when IVF clinics across Alabama began ceasing operation in the wake of a state supreme court decision which declared - in language full of unconstitutionally religious imagery - that frozen embryos awaiting implantation are legally considered to be children*; and in Akron, Ohio, a man who tried to rob a grocery store fled with less money than he started with when he panicked at the sound of an alarm and ran away without the change from his original purchase. 

This week, inspired by the relentless attacks by Der Furor and his enablers on law enforcement, the judicial system, and the rule of law, a collection of cartoons on the topic of law and justice ... 

There's a shortage of oil for the sheen because of the needs of Der Furor's large army of lawyers ...

It depends on where he was and what he did on January 6th, 2021 ...

If lawyers spoke the truth to the media ...

Time to sell that kidney and your firstborn child ...

It seems to work for a lot of people ...

It would make trials more interesting ...

The best legal representation you can afford, right up to the moment you can't afford it any more ...

It's all part of the GOP's economic plan, which is based on full employment for lawyers, bail bondsmen, and flag-waving apologists ...

I got this from a fly on the wall of Rep Jim Comer's House Committee on Ludicrous and Unsubstantiated Buffoonery ... uh ... I mean ... House "Oversight and Accountability" Committee ... 

If some people could plead stupidity, it would probably speed things up considerably ...

And that's it for this week. I hope you never need a lawyer ... and if you do, I hope you can afford it.

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