Cartoon Saturday


Oh, well, another week of craziness has gone by, and that means it's time once again for Cartoon Saturday. But first, this news ...

In what's been described as a "stunning setback" to Der Furor's radical agenda, hard-right GOP conservatives on the House Budget Committee voted with all Democrats to defeat the "One, Big, Beautiful Bill*;" US officials welcomed 59 white South Africans at Washington Dulles International Airport, greeting them as refugees supposedly fleeing discrimination and racially based violence in their home country; India's foreign minister has denied Der Furor's claim that India has offered to drop all tariffs on goods imported from the United States; MAGA loyalists have joined Democrats in objecting to Der Furor's willingness to accept a Boeing 747 "flying palace" offered by Qatar to replace Air Force One; and in Cambridgeshire, England, the district planning council has ordered a local homeowner to demolish his house after the council learned that the man and his wife were actually living in the building, which had been approved for use as a collection laboratory for stallion semen.

This week, we're back to random cartoons, in honor of the random nature of decision making in Der Furor's administration. At least you can laugh at the cartoons. 

My wife was a little disappointed with the outcome ...


It's a very old cartoon, but it still works. With the way this administration approaches the concept of "justice," I could be in real trouble ...


Lots of wealthy Americans have already figured this out ...


I thought I heard something frightening ...


Only fourteen? ...


It's evidently a problem with the Mar-a-Lago set ...


I wish joining the Foreign Legion was all it took ...


If it works ...


I am SOOO trying this out ...


Uh, oh ...


And that's it for this week's random selection Cartoon Saturday ... I hope you enjoyed it.

Have a good day and a great weekend. More thoughts tomorrow, when Musical Sunday returns to help you make the best of a bad situation. See you then.

* The "One, Big, Beautiful Bill" is an example of what Congressional Republicans used to condemn as an "omnibus bill," which combined large numbers of spending bills into one opaque package with unknown and undebated contents.
