Sure. A cat with a great owner would be nice. Being a human is fraught with choices and none of which are currently Plesant.

Trump admires Putin and the way he runs Russia. He would like to become president so he could emulate him. In other words the U.S. dictator. Presidential powers would overcome any balance of power now now in place. The man/child is a dangerous egomaniac whose true wish is to become a dictator. He is to be feared.

I was thinking of a modified Trumpism this morning: "I alone can f*ck it up."

Surely if he is FINALLY tried and CONVICTED, he would be disqualified as a candidate!

My husband, a civics teacher, says we have never passed such a law. It may have to be treason. But even that is not a law. If enough ppl vote him in, our laws will let him serve.

We don't know!

One never knows these days. He can probably run from behind bars IF he's convicted.

I hesitated pushing the ‘love’ symbol, simply because I find the prospect of Trump being re-elected so frightening. But as always, you portray the truth in such a succinct way in your drawing. Thank you for reminding us how vigilant we must be about the future of democracy as we know it.

The cult of Trump is unmovable and immune to facts. He will draw 40% of the popular vote serving time in federal prison, padding his bank account all the while. The scary thing is, with Cornell West running as Green Party candidate and a likely Joe Manchin No Lables candidacy, the Wannabe President-for-Life could win with a fanatical minority following. F**k Cornell West and Joe Manchin. And Andrew Yang, if he's running.

Jill Stein is Cornell West's campaign manager, and she's a Russian stool. We need Democrats and democracy lovers to come out strong for Joe Biden.

And Kennedy.

The snake oil salesman and secret fascist RFK Jr. could get otherwise Democratic voters to stay home and not vote. He went on a speaking tour with Michael Flynn. He is seriously delusional and utterly unqualified.

The cat in the truck is terminally cute. Looks just like our Teddy Bear (AKA The Criminal) who steals everything that moves. As for the state of politics, the thinkers and historians point out that we've been here before and will overcome provided we remain 'in it together'. I hope they're right.Loved both these drawings. 🙏

Thank you. Oh, I reaally hope so. Reading history by Heather Cox Richardson has helped me understand how what you say is true. But when we are in it, it seems so frightfully real and might happen. I do believe, and I know you agree, we have to be vigilant.
