So, I know it's bad behavior to come into this thread and announce bad news and then bitch and moan about what the cartoons are going to look like because you know they'll be terrible.

But is it okay to do the opposite?

Because Sarah Palin just endorsed Donald Trump, and I literally, un-ironically cannot wait to see how every cartoonist, from Bagely to Lester, responds to this.

Meanwhile, Palin's son has been arrested for domestic violence and having a gun while intoxicated. I'm praying Bagley finds a way to work both of those incidents into a cartoon.

Branco's use of the MLK statue also shows that he's copied the art at least three times, including this most recent one, so it's lazy too. (Check the shadows behind MLK, they are all the same.)

It's one of those horrible "they TECHNICALLY didn't..." because there's some white people in there too but yeah they pretty much just poisoned a poor black neighborhood and lied to their faces about it.

Well, Palin probably regards NYC as the anti-America anyway because it has people of all different backgrounds interacting with each other, but Trump is from Queens, right?

This cartoon is a repeat from several years ago. Still an unironic good cartoon, even with the incorrect date/calendar format.

The week starting on Saturday was a hot topic the first time it was posted.

A lucky bird.
Texas Governor Greg Abbott recently called for a constitutional convention, proposing nine new amendments that would allow a two-thirds majority of the states to override a federal law or overrule a Supreme Court decision, weaken federal agencies, make it easier for state officials to sue the federal government, prohibit Congress from regulating activity that occurs entirely in one state, require a seven-justice supermajority for Supreme Court decisions that invalidate a law passed by Congress, and require Congress to balance the budget. He also has one in there that can be summed up as "the tenth amendment again, but more emphatically and the way I want it".

(I mean, about seven of them can be summed up that way, but this one is so vague that you can't put it into more specific terms.)



One of the accompanying editorials argued that Abbott's proposals would represent a return to the failures of the Articles of Confederation and allow him to enact some frankly terrible policies he's supported such as eliminating the minimum wage and undermining environmental protections, health care programs, workplace safety requirements, and minority protections.



The other, well, you can pretty much guess it from the cartoon.
