CARTOON: “Obama’s Nominee”

From cartoonist Clay Jones on “Obama’s Nominee,” Kanye West, and Mark Zuckerberg

The Republicans have truly lost their minds.

They’re screaming against Obama’s nomination for the Supreme Court before he’s even made one. With all the vitriol, you would think Obama had already submitted his choice and it was a black Puerto Rican lesbian atheist abortion provider with a cold sore … or Kanye West.

The GOP says the people need to have a vote in this. They do and they made that vote in 2008 and again in 2012. Maybe only white presidents get a full eight years out of two terms. Black guys only get seven. What’s next? Are they going to demand that he not use Air Force One, the White House, the White House china, and the plumbing for the rest of the year?

It’s a dumb argument to have, and yet we have to have it. Why? Because the Republican party is full of people who are not rational and lack the ability to comprehend.

I know the GOP doesn’t respect the president, but with this tactic they’re disrespecting the presidency and the Constitution. Shame on all of them.

“What’s the deal with Kanye West?” my older, unhip, white readers might be asking. Hey, I’m not that hip either. But I know who Kanye is and that he’s a grade A ass. He’s the guy that makes black people say, “We won’t blame all white people for Donald Trump if you don’t blame us for Kanye.”

Kanye is making the news for saying he wouldn’t attend the Grammys if he didn’t win the award for best album, even though he wasn’t nominated. He also talked about how he made Taylor Swift and stands a good chance of shagging her. Then (yes, there’s a then) he went on Twitter and asked Mark Zuckerberg for a billion dollars. Yeah, Twitter is the social media tool you want to use to connect to Mark Zuckerberg. Kanye probably goes to McDonald’s and asks for free Whoppers.
