Trump.

Not just for me seeing New Mexico, for all the misery going on in the world. Thousands of children are going to need artificial limbs, all those homes re-built.  Huge amounts of people in the US without food and health care, those god-awful ICE for-profit detention camps. It is going to take a lot for America to get to a good place.

Heading for Roswell, Diane?
Regarding Trump, it's way past time that his advisers steered him away from social media.

Yesterday he started with our water, went on to Cuba. Wonder what stress he will put the world under today.

It was that 1994 movie Speechless that it seems wasn't very popular that has always made me think of New Mexico. It was the dessert, the stars and the hot air balloons and two of my favourite actors.

Thanks, Diane.

I'm just hoping that you have far more years left in you than Trump, and/or that the half of USA that voted him in (twice now!) finally hear the pennies (cents?) drop and the scales falling from their eyes before they get the chance to go and screw the world over at the ballot box again. And hopefully the Democrats will get their act together by then also, because I'm not seeing that from across the Pond yet. 

One more (these are what I've come to call Cathartic Cartooning)...

The stuff of nightmares. Yesterday he was picking on bison in Montana.

A person should have just jotted down briefly what trouble each day he has stirred up in a school exercise book just for the record. Nothing gets addressed because there is always new distractions.

You could sell the cartoon in line drawing and let people colour it in with a fist around a crayon and work in big angry zig zag motions.

I imagine being May 5th he will insult Mexicans today.

We got some good news in Alberta yesterday, the petition to separate Alberta was squished before it was put on the ballot due to Treat Rights violations. We have a large segment of our population derogatively called "Maple MAGA" right wing christian fascists who are trying to privatize as much as they can and keep health care and education underfunded and all that stuff.

This was a huge win for country and normal people.

I can't remember the last time I heard some political good news!

[Diane CBPFC]

Never mind. Our dingbat premier is going to use the "notwithstanding" clause to put the question on the ballot in October anyway.

AND they just legislated that Pride and Treaty flags can no longer be displayed in classrooms this fall. They reduced payments to disabled people by $200 a month because they thought the benefits were "too generous" (did they give themselves a raise? you bet they did) and took snacks such as ice lollies away from child cancer patients.

So many bad things :-(

I feel like Canada on the whole is doing well in the good news department, Carney is getting so much done with kindness and positivity. There is just a shadow over Alberta, a lot of it cultural.
