Cartoons: for many the doctor is out

After 7 years of trying to repeal Obamacare, the House Republicans have come up with its replacement-- the  American Health Care Act (AHCA).  The Atlantic reports in The People Helped by the Republican Health-Care Bill stating:

Though most old and sick people will be worse off under the GOP bill, it might be a boon—real or perceived—for people earning just above the Obamacare subsidy cutoff.

If it doesn't help sick people, what's it for? They could have spent the time working to make Obamacare better. Wikipedia gives a history of the GOP's efforts to repeal Obamacare (ACA).

Here are some of the editorial cartoonists' comments.

Cartoons: the truth is out there -- somewhere

During this week--Wikileaks news just keeps comin'; it's beginning to look like conspiracy theorists rule the day; an informal poll recognizes that we all, that's 100%, want this election to be over; and MetLife fired Charlie Brown.

Between Russians trying to hack our confidence in the election process, Wikileaks trying to discredit Clinton; and undercover video stings (see The hacking, leaking, undercover election), what's a voter to do?

A-a-nd I've been wondering: if Trump doesn't accept that he lost the election, what 's he gonna do? Show up at the White House with a moving van? Take the podium at the Inaugural? Crash a Joint Chiefs of Staff national security meeting? Just sayin'.

Cartoons: Taming Trump

Looks to me like we're trapped as a nation between Trump and the NRA. Then there are the conspiracy wackos. Is there peace in Canada?

Republicans may think they can tame Trump once he's been nominated, but it looks like he's already lost his voter base. Take a look at the video in Favorability of Trump’s GOP Lowest in Bloomberg Poll’s History.
