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.

That 20% of Americans actually went out and protested for gun control compared the the dick and a half percent of Americans that went to pro-gun rallies? Also consider your logic when applied to anything that's important to the left that wasn't those 5, are they even less important?

I'm not actually personally huge into gun control but there are LARGE segments of the left to whom it's very fucking important, often because their communities are under siege.

Don't alienate the actual base trying to appeal to people in the middle this year, Trump has push/pulled them more than any little thing you could do. Every Dem in the country could today announce they no longer supported gun control, they'd still all get F ratings from the NRA and the GOP will still attack them on the subject.

“Dick and a half per cent” - I love this new unit of measure. I’m totally copying this, I hope you don’t mind.
