Kids dream of getting a puppy for Christmas and Putin is certainly no different. This year, Putin’s dreams come true with puppy Trump and puppy Secretary of State nominee Rex Tillerson.

Puppies for Putin
Last week’s news was filled with Mitt Romney meeting and having dinner with Donald Trump, after their history of badmouthing each other during the campaign. Romney certainly wants the Secretary of State job, and we may find out if he get the position next week. Trump’s former campaign manager, Kellyanne Conway said today that the job search is expanding, after warning of a popular revolt among Republicans if Romney is the choice.
To be evenhanded (a word seldom applied to editorial cartoonists) I should point out that it isn’t unusual for me to draw butt kissing. Here’s Obama kissing the butt of the King of Saudi Arabia.
There’s a lot of butt-kissing to go around these days.
It is interesting to see the Democratic primary race heating up after Hillary Clinton has clinched the nomination. Hillary doesn’t seem to inspire passion among her supporters as both Bernie and Trump do.
This was a tricky one to draw, since I wanted Hillary’s and Bernie’s heads to be big enough to work in a simple layout. Bernie the heart threatens to be more of a digestive tract. Hillary should be right behind the donkey eyeballs … so … compromise – isn’t that what politics is all about? Watch me draw this one in real time in the video below.
The math just doesn’t work for Bernie Sanders who has essentially been eliminated from contention for the Democratic nomination – but Bernie will not go softly into that good night.
I draw my cartoons live online now – want to watch? It is nicer to watch on YouTube, in the video below, than watching live because you can watch at double speed. I really look like a genius when I draw at double speed. Catch me live on twitch.tv/darylcagle and you can chat, if you can stand to watch me draw slowly, in real time.
Here’s Commander-in-Chief Hillary! Back in 2008 there was a lot of chatter about whether Hillary was up to the job of commanding the troops. Hillary told a story about how she was “dodging bullets” as she flew into Bosnia – a story that would have shamed even Brian Williams.
We also heard a lot about how Hillary thought America would rather she got an emergency call at 3:00 in the morning, instead of Barack Obama. I drew a cartoon similar to this one in 2008, with Hillary’s medals, and I realized that in only seven years, many of the medals have changed, but Hillary is basically the same. Here’s a new, updated version of my military, Hillary golden oldie. Come see our big collection of Bill ‘n Hillary cartoons.

Hillary’s E-mail Scandal
I don’t quite understand the Hillary e-mail scandal. There was no law against her using her own e-mail at the time she did it. She had her own e-mail server and 50,000+ emails, but I also have my own e-mail server and 50,000+emails, so it doesn’t seem so strange to me. And if she hadn’t had her own server, all of her emails would Surely have been stolen and revealed by Edward Snowden, so in retrospect, it seems prudent. Much ado about nothing, I think.
E-mail is always a great topic for cartoons.
I’ve been thinking of updating the Hillary-general cartoon below to add an e-mail medal, and take out the stale medals about 2008 election news that everyone has forgotten (like “Michigan” and “Florida”). I drew this one when the daily pundit babble was about Hillary claiming she would make a much better commander in chief, compared to Obama.
I suspect Hillary would have been much more of a hawk than Obama, and would have gotten us much more mixed-up into the middle East muddle. If I had to choose between Hillary and goofy Rand Paul, I think I would vote for Rand Paul, just because I trust that he really don’t want our military meddling around the globe.
I remember back in 2007 there was a scandal about Karl Rove deleting his emails while he worked at the White House. Pundit hacks like Rove benefit from our short memories, as they attack Hillary now.
