🧵One has to love your Susan Collins as the grand marshal of the parade, leading in her “sensible shoes,” 😉👋🏽‼️

Well.... at least he learned a lesson, right?

🧵SHE, I think, but I take your point.

Darn spellcheck, 🙄!

Marc Panaye's avatar

No, I really meant drump.

🧵Got it. Sorry!

Oh course Collins is letting her attack dogs try to dismember Platner as she demurely smiles (recent pictures on line ) She's busy making sure her hubby can milk more cash out of those Drug company stocks he owns . Maybe he was in such a hurry to divorce his previous wife ( as she was dying of cancer ) just to not miss out a moment more on some insider trading as Collins always makes sure the Drug companies can increase their prices without Government interference . She has become one of those multi multi millionaires while in the Senate . From being worth a couple of hundred K to low (6mil) to as high as 10 Mil . That's not even official as there could be millions more tucked away in secret corners of investment opportunities . She's not saying - she doesn't have to

I know you had limited room, but you could have also included DEMENTED and OLD

Even Trump isn't bloated enough to have space for all the pejoratives he deserves.

Linda Bergstrom's avatar

Old is not a crime -Bernie is 84 and Elizabeth Warren is 77. They have been mentoring young activists into how to fight the Oligarchy at a blinding speed .

When Trump surrounded himself with the most inexperienced and incompetent yes sir, yes sir people, the feces was bound and determined to rise like the cream of the crap.

Platner is far from flawless -- as are we all. (I remember meeting a few people who thought they were perfect; I don't remember liking any of them.) I'd like to have a better candidate, but in my opinion, Platner is head and shoulders above any candidate who would be endorsed by Trump.

Excellent!! You’ve captured so much in this one cartoon!

Thanks for this! It is utterly absurd that at this point in American history a Democratic candidate's personal weaknesses should be grounds for rejection. The Republicans seem to value any kind of degeneracy in their candidates. It looks like Trump backed Paxton because he IS blatantly corrupt. Not to mention almost everyone in his cabinet appears to be crooked and/or mentally ill. But, sure, Platner is unfit because he had some problems in his marriage and is working through them.

What flaws?! The irony is deservedly thick!

It will be interesting to see if the voters can look beyond Platner's scandals.

Well, it didn't seem to bother them when they elected a con man as POTUS X 2...

I just saw this quote, which cracked me up:

"I would vote for a doorknob over Susan Collins."

Linda Bergstrom's avatar

The "scandals "definitely have received the over sized luggage rejection stamp for Platner from all the Political operatives - Republican and Democrat- who rely on billionaire sugar Daddy's both foreign and domestic . the DO NOT PUT IN OVER HEAD COMPARTMENT sign has been flashing on MSM for weeks

We all have flaws, but the one with the most is President--talk about the pot calling the kettle black!!!!!

TRUTH is power! Platner's mishaps pale in comparison to the leader of our nation at present.

Love the diaper, nice touch!

Great political cartoon! It reminds me of the style used for political cartoons in the 17 and 18 hundreds.

Carol's avatar

So true it hurts.

Tracy Loftsgaarden, BA, MM's avatar

Perfect. Go Platner. I love the Obamas, but their reaction to criticism was to go "high when they go low." Now we know that being nice - Minnesota nice where I'm from does not work. FIGHT FIRE WITH FIRE.

Once again the pot calls the kettle black. The Orange Buffiin has no bottom!
