Cartoon Saturday

 

And we move on from the euphoria of the huge Democratic wins in the midterm election ...

House Republicans closed ranks to protect Secretary of Defense (not War) Pete Hegseth from impeachment and on the same day elected far-right shouting firebrand Jim Jordan as their Minority Leader for the upcoming session; a U.S. soldier was arrested by British police on suspicion of spying for Russia; Invidia CEO Jensen Huang was ousted from his position after assuming compromising positions with at least two women, neither of whom was his wife and one of whom was apparently a Chinese spy; a tanker carrying asphalt crashed into a sightseeing riverboat in New Orleans harbor, miraculously, all 200 people aboard the riverboat were rescued; the Federal Aviation Administration grounded all flights nationwide for several hours on Friday, citing "extraordinary circumstances" caused by communications problems; and in Florida, the state's comprehensive anti-DEI law backfired spectacularly when the town of Delray Beach announced it will cancel it's annual St Patrick's Day parade next year because it would violate the dictates of Governor DeSantis's law.

This week, a random collection of recently-found cartoons ... 

It might be nice to get some variety in Der Furor's hysterical social media posts - perhaps the Library of Congress can loan a thesaurus to the Gilded House ...

Speaking of using different words to convey the meaning ...

AI meets the Internet of Things meets The Terminator ...

As a card-carrying old guy, I can understand the diagnosis ...

Yes ... yes, it is ...

Har, de har-har-har!! ...

Well, that makes sense, doesn't it? ...

At least he got the position in which he doesn't have to get sawn in half ...

That's how it's working, at least in this regime ...

Unrequited love ...

And that's it for another week - I hope you enjoyed my little collection of distractions from the social and political chaos. 

Have a good day and enjoy the rest of your weekend. Come back tomorrow for Musical Sunday as we let Cindy know we're coming home. More thoughts then.
