U.S. Electile Dysfunction 2016

[kladner]

Please forgive the link to dkos. The cartoon is four large, separate panels. It also does not appear on the Blogspot site for the comic itself.

I post it here because it involves a domestic political issue, if not quite 'electile disfunction' related. It does relate to the distortion of our political processes by pressure groups such as AIPAC.

I got pretty close to The Donald at the Iowa St. Fair over the weekend. Could have grabbed the silly red hat kind of close. But my pork chop on a stick was more interesting.

Did he do the signature mouth-tube thing? I've heard it's rather awe-inspiring to see it live.

Compared to mere buffoonish blowhards like Trump, true believers like Jeb (who is also massively corrupted by money) scare me.

We assume (?) that she didn't really say that. It is still funny!

It certainly replicates her style. In looking for background I decided that this probably is a fake. On the bright side, I picked up an MB animated gif. Crude, but it gets the idea across. I remember a similar photo of Rick Perry stuffing a corn dog in his festering gob.

Unfortunately, or maybe fortunate for other readers, the animation is over a megabyte, so here's the link.

It is amusing that they seem to be saying that the spoof was riffing on something Trump did say, and on her praise of the Donald. "Pants on Fire" is high praise for satire.
