I love that the narrative they're going for with the Trump protestors is that clearly they only had the time to protest him because they don't work real grownup jobs, unlike the people who had the time to show up and support him.

A cartoon:

The story behind it, Turkish President Erdogan straight-up took over a newspaper because he didn't like what the newspaper was saying:
http://www.businessinsider.com/todays-zaman-turkey-police-2016-3

quote:

Police dressed in riot gear seized the headquarters of Turkey's highest-circulation newspaper in a midnight raid Saturday, in arguably the biggest blow yet to press freedom in President Recep Erdogan's Turkey.

The government takeover of Today's Zaman was evidently in response to Erdogan's perception of the paper as a front for the Gülen movement — a social movement led by the Turkish scholar and preacher Fethullah Gülen that is openly critical of Erdogan's government.

Reporters Without Borders' secretary general Christophe Deloire released a scathing statement about the takeover, calling the operation "ideological and unlawful."

"Erdoğan is now moving from authoritarianism to all-out despotism," Deloire wrote. "Not content with throwing journalists in prison for ‘supporting terrorism’ or having them sentenced to pay heavy fines for ‘insulting the ‘head of state,’ he is now going further by taking control of Turkey’s biggest opposition newspaper.”

Matt Golding is one of those cartoonists whose bulk of work is about a zillion little cartoons to illustrate whatever stories are in the paper that day. The vaping one appears to be from some special about e-cigs, nothing particularly political. I can't find the buoy one specifically, my guess is it's got to do with the shark detection at Bondi Beach.

And here we are back in...


This is a slow week due to a man by the name of Spitzer and his dabbling with expensive prostitutes. As we all know, sex scandals are like catnip to political cartoonists, so the amount of relevant cartoons were less the normal. poo poo, some cartoonists like Ramirez didn't cover the primary at ALL.

1
A thought that occurred to some during the democratic primary was the possibility of X being a VP pick for Y, maybe even as a sort of deal in exchange for dropping out in order to end the primary earlier.

2
This idea, however, apparently caught on with the Clinton camp. While not saying for Obama to directly drop out, she nonetheless made hints that Obama would totally be a great VP nod.

3
Obama responded with a simple, "Uh that's cute, but I'm in the lead, chucklefuck." and that was that.

4
I want to say March was the most heated the primary ever got, and of course Republicans absolutely loved it.

5
Some states were penalized for loving around with dates. The most notable was Florida, which has a ton of delegates up for grabs, but was forbidden from sending any to the convention due to moving up their primary. This hurt Clinton, the winner of Florida, and of course her camp argued that this penalty was an affront to democracy and should be repealed. The Obama camp, unsurprisingly, disagreed, stating that they campaigned based on the knowledge that Florida held no value, and that it would be unfair to change this after the fact. Michigan was a similar situation, except several candidates such as Obama were urged by the DNC to remove themselves from the ballot. Clinton stayed on and naturally won, creating another situation.

The "Florida/Michigan Question" hung over the campaign for the whole primary, as the delegate numbers would provide a huge swing for Clinton. In fact, you can argue that these Schrodinger's States are what allowed Clinton to justify staying in the primary for so long. Ultimately, a compromise was reached, with both states only getting half their normal votes. Basically, the public didn't like their states having no say in the primary, and this pressured the DNC to do something or else it could discourage democrats from voting in 2008. I imagine Florida's status as a battleground state in the general election helped with this decision.

6
Conservatives would give Obama grief for daring to try diplomacy over perpetual war. I have no idea why Hillary is in the cartoon.

7
McCain took a serious backseat to the Demcoratic Primary. I mean, it makes sense given the GOP primary wrapped up a month prior and McCain wasn't exactly doing anything.

8
Yeah, this was something of a dead news week for the primary.

BONUS

A
I found this Rall cute in general, but also funny because the very cartoon in which he states that cartoonists rely on metaphors over words has a loving word-stuffed caption in every panel.

Okay, this was a slow week, but it gave me a chance to show more cartoonists than normal. That all changes next week, when everyone's favorite pastor comes home to roost.
