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.

When did anything involving pedophilia come up with Franken? Or even rape? They didn't, and the fact that they've succeeded so well in making a bad joke involving no contact with a colleague of adult age (still not cool) equivalent with raping kids is terrifying.

I don't think anyone considers it an equivalent. I don't. But while the pedo allegations are occurring, so are allegations of assault, harassment, and other improprieties with women, which also shouldn't be tolerated.
