Cartoons: American politics as seen today

If the constant barrage of Trumpisms and Trump-tropes is getting you down, take a look at Paste Magazine's "How to Survive Trump: A 7-step Guide for Those Who Can't Move to Canada." You could also try taping the cartoon below to your wall. However, it would work better as an affirmation when stated, "This circus closes soon."

According to the Washington Post "Trump’s media coverage has been 4-to-1 negative — but that isn’t really the point (May 19)." Comedian John Oliver on Last Week Tonight talked about Trump vs. Truth, available on YouTube. I say Trump is a provocateur and he will say whatever gets him the biggest bang for his buck. Sad.

During the ascension of Trump we've learned a number of things. Such as anyone, including the Democrats, can have a white whale in her/his life.

Cartoons: no cartoons this week

Current governmental and social affairs are just too overwhelming. Don't want to do this anymore.
