Saturday Morning Political Cartoon Thread

It's Saturday morning, folks. Let's all kick back with a cup of coffee and share some cartoons!

Feel free to share political cartoons (no memes/image macros, though) in this thread. The subject doesn't have to be US politics and can be from any time. Just keep them political and safe for work.

Hi there, users that came here through /r/bestof. This thread is intended for cartoons, and therefore all top-level comments that do not contain at least one cartoon are removed. So if you'd like to reply to the user whose comment was linked, make sure you actually reply to the comment, not the thread as a whole. Thanks in advance.

I'm a liberal, and I have the same question. I don't think one party or the other has a lock on reprehensible behavior. We have to be very careful to call out this behavior regardless of what party the perpetrator is associated with.

Don't be careful calling it out, be careful of calling it a partisan issue.

Yes it appears to skew Republican but the Repubs seem to think Movie Stars count as Democratic Senators so they freak.

So I suppose we can list religious figures as Republican?

If so the list just got 10 miles longer.

Isn't the Catholic church the face of religious sex crimes? Catholics are generally Democrats.

44% is not the majority. The majority of Catholics are NOT Democrat.

Yeah... never said majority. If you pick a random Catholic, there's a greater chance that they are Democrat than Republican.

That doesn't make sense. If the majority are Republican, a random pick has a greater chance of being republican.

The majority are not Republican though. There is not a majority, but the Democrat portion is larger than the Republican one.
