Reality Check by Dave Whamond for February 21, 2016

You know, this would explain a lot.

That easy a target isn’t political.It is a mean-spirited cheap shot that also just happens to be funny.You don’t see that very often.Bask in its glory.

Hairpiece.

Come on Dave – you are better than that.

Well, it was a cute idea he and Hillary had, but winning is getting boring and cutting into his naps. Besides, he only promised her he’d keep it up through New Hampshire. And he can hardly do any more damage to the Republicans. He’s run off so many party stalwarts and revealed the candidates as whiny trolls and, dare we say it, losers. His work here is done.

His hair does seem to have a life of it’s own.

Can’t be Him, the disproportional teeny mouth isn’t open.

Sorry, everyone. I REALLY try not to do anything political in my cartoons but Trump is just so irresistible to a cartoonist. Not to mention fun to draw. Thanks for indulging me… back to regularly scheduled programming tomorrow.

Hmm… maybe it is because my sense of humor goes to eleven?

i have no problem with poking fun – i do have a problem with mocking. – comedy, laughter, in our society has become confused with mocking a person and belittling them. somehow we now think that is humor. we use to mock drunks and everyone laughed at them and some still do – but now it is not pc so we turn and mock politicians. authority figures, or people who have succeeded or with whom we don’t agree. mocking has become a very rude, way of adults being mean children again.sorry – but laughing with someone is alright, disagreeing with someone is alright – but to say you are just being ‘funny’ or ‘poking fun’ at someone you disagree with by belittling their looks, their dress, their mannerism, as if that somehow makes their ideas, plans, dreams, concerns of less value than someone elses or your personal ideas, plans, dreams etc. just makes me not care for you. not them.America has become the land of junior high humor, mocking, belittling, and shaming rather than a place of courtesy, respecting differences of opinion, agreeing to disagree, and ‘intelligent’ discussion in and out of the box and become who can ridicule the best or shame the best. i agree that trump leaves himself open to be mocked by those who disagree with him – but mocking doesn’t resolve the issue, nor solve the problem especially when it is done by both sides of an issue. all it does it make things more divisive, harder to find solutions, and causes everyone to hurt more.of course that is just my humble opinion and i am sure the mockers will have their heyday with it.peace – and ask yourself how much you like to be mocked by someone??

I have been reading “Reality Check” daily for MANY years. I cannot recall the author EVER posting a cartoon attacking a political figure. This is extremely revealing. It shows two big things: (1) that Mr. Whamond so desperately fears the possibility of a conservative President that he reveals himself to be a liberal Democrat [despite the possibility of losing readers], and (2) that he is totally lacking in “class,” attacking a candidate for something other than his policies. [I don’t mean to imply that it would have been OK for the author to criticize any candidate in “Reality Check,” which is simply not the place for attempts to influence the voters.] I am neither a Democrat nor a Republican, and I do not like some of Mr. Trump’s positions, but I will not silently tolerate Mr. Whamond’s blunder. It seems to be time for him to retire and bow out of the public scene, unless he issues an abject apology to Mr. Trump and to the American public, promising not to do anything similar again.

treesareusUnfortunately, you are forgetting all those superdelegates a grateful party machinery bestows on their chosen…able to leap a 15% majority in a single bound.

WHATEVER! I JUST LIKE RALPH! :-)

I am the greatest. I am a winner. Everybody else is a loser. I’m better than all these dopes and I don’t need to raise money because I’m already a billionaire. If you don’t vote for me, it is only because you are too stupid to know better.-I think a tiny, mean-spirited jab at a rather obvious narcissistic affectation is well within reason, actually.Imagine the well-deserved mocking if W had sported a soul patch to be more hip and “with it”.
