So it is now November 4, 2020 and as expected neither President Trump nor Vice President Biden has locked in the Presidency for the next four years. So we wait, and argue, and wait and point fingers. Sigh.

GOP in the Hot Seat
Ahhh, the GOP is in the hot seat. Whether you think Republicans are responsible for the election of Donald Trump or the DNC and the Clinton campaign are (or the Russians, or Bernie Sanders), clearly the Republican Party is the only one that can and should make sure there is checks and balances with our new President. -
The GOP Hatches a Plan
The GOP hatches a plan. Yet it seems to continually backfire. (With apologies to Dr Suess and Horton Hatches an Egg). Last summer when Donald Trump was first running, the GOP figured he was a flash in the pan candidate who would fizzle out. But they figured they could use his celebrity to their advantage and made him pledge that he would support whomever became the Republican nominee and wouldn’t seek a third party run. Six months later, Trump is commanding the lead in the run to the nomination and Republicans are backtracking in droves.
One time candidate Marco Rubio stated “I still at this moment continue to intend to support the Republican nominee, but it’s getting harder every day.”
So will we end up with a brokered convention that could spell the end of the Republican Party as one entity? Will two sub parties emerge? So as the cartoon says, the GOP is holding to the pledge
“I meant what I said,
I said what I meant.
I’ll support Trump’s nomination
one hundred percent….
unless I destroy both of us in the process.” -
Preparation Hillary T-shirt
Preparation Hillary T-Shirt. I thought this parody of the Preparation H box would make my readers who are fans of Hillary Clinton (any of you out there?) happy. Clinton’s biggest threat in the Democrat nomination for President is Bernie Sanders.
Bernie supporters are very mobile and vocal on social media tagging many of their posts with “Feel the Bern” So what better way to take care of the “Bern” than some Preparation H.

Election Bumper Stickers
It is election season in the United States. Your choices (not including 3rd party candidates) are either President Obama or Mitt Romney. You can decide in the comments or decide with your wallet and show your support to the world because I have put these images on Bumper Stickers for a limited time only.
If you are for President Barack Obama and Joe Biden, you might want to show the world that Mitt Romney is a notorious flip-flopper (where is John Kerry to attempt to keep his crown)
Or maybe you are for Mitt Romney. In 2008 many people joined now President Obama in his quest for “HOPE”, a slogan of his campaign. Now I am hearing many who voted for him in 2008 have simply “LOST HOPE”
What say you? Of course politics can get heated so if you prefer to just say “nice bumper stickers” in the comments, I’ll understand. And if you choose to vote with your wallet, I won’t give up your vote.

Bill Clinton Speaks at DNC
Seems former President Bill Clinton is needed to rile the troops at the Democratic National Convention where he has been invited as a keynote speaker. Hope he can make it through all his lines with a straight face. Not a secret the history between him and President Obama. -
Editorial Cartoon: Mitt Romney turns 65
Former Governor and current GOP Presidential Candidate Mitt Romney turned 65 this week proclaiming that he would not enroll for Social Security payments or Medicare.
For those unfamiliar, AARP is an organization in the States that has huge interest group focusing on those above 50 on age related issues. It was formerly known as the American Association of Retired Persons. Historically in the U.S. the retirement age has been 65 though you can get your AARP card which offers discounts on travel, restaurants etc long before that age. In fact I knew a 30 year old once who had her card. I guess all you need to do is send in your money and boom, there it is.
Oh and Denny’s is a national chain of restaurants that specializes in breakfast food.

Editorial Cartoon: Osama Dead
Can anyone tell me what joke was repeated over and over on Sunday night? If you said “Donald Trump is demanding to see Bin Laden’s Death Certificate” you would be right. Go see for yourself.
In fact, the first time I saw the joke, I thought it would make a cute editorial cartoon. By the 20th time I saw it, I thought it was a little overdone. I guess that didn’t stop these editorial cartoonists.
The basis of the joke (for the uninformed) is that Donald Trump is toying with running for President. So his first public act of late has been to join the birthers in their efforts to say that President Barack Obama wasn’t actually born in Hawaii so he shouldn’t have been eligible to be President. Trump had been calling for Obama’s Birth Certificate. Of course when Obama did share it, Trump just took credit for being able to put that rumor to rest and allow the country to move on. Ever the opportunist.
So I thought I would take the joke (which you see in panel one) and go a slightly different route for the punchline. Did I use an outdated reference with the title “Weekend at Donalds”???

She has my Vote!!
Over the last year, I have found many webcomic comrades via twitter and others blog rolls. It is rare though that I find someone else who does editorial cartoons and blogs as well. Alex Raffi is a Nevada illustrator and editorial cartoonist. Check out his site for some great stuff.
The post that really caught my attention as of late was this video he posted of his daughter Elli describing the things she would do to fix the world if she were President.
Only 29 more years Elli and you’ll get my vote.

Bearman Cartoon: Obama wins Peace Prize?
My friends on the right at Big Hollywood and also on the left at the Cincinnati Beacon are a flutter about President Barack Obama winning the Nobel Peace Prize. Seems the President himself was a little confused as he is only the third US President to win while in office. Maybe he just misunderstood the call.
