The big news … almost the only news this past week was the search warrant executed by the FBI for classified documents Trump stole from the people when he left the White House in disgrace. No doubt other news happened, but there was little reported on it, so naturally, the weekly political cartoons reflect that. As she does every week, TokyoSand over at Political Charge has culled some of the best ones from the week. Sometimes it’s hard to find the humour, but the political cartoonists are pretty damn good at it! Thank you, TS, for your hard work!
The week started off with a big win for Joe Biden (the passing of the Inflation Reduction Act) and ended with the bombshell that the FBI seized a trove of extremely sensitive documents from Trump’s residence at Mar-a-Lago. Here’s how editorial cartoonists covered that story.
the cartoonists had a lot to work with this past week!

Yep … those two groups of people will probably be sad when Trump finally departs once and for all! Ahhh … but wait … there are so many others, too, like Cruz/Boebert/Greene … the list is endless and I have no doubt that new ones are waiting in the wings! Idiots abound!

we do seem to produce a lot of politicians who provide fodder for such groups!

We do, but we are not alone. Look across the pond at Boris and the two vying to replace him!

Thanks, Kiki! Glad you enjoyed them. I suspect there will never come a day when there is no need for such cartoons … but anyway, you wouldn’t want the poor cartoonists to starve to death from lack of work, would you? 😉

I’m always amazed that one simple cartoon can say as much as a thousand-word essay! I did enjoy the weekend, although I’ve been a bit weak and shaky, so I stayed home, spending my time writing, reading, and snoozing! xx
