"Let 'Em Eat Dick"

I tried to conceive the ultimate editorial cartoon metaphor to adequately describe our current political situation here in the U.S.

So imagine, if you will, Trump playing the violin while standing atop an exploding Hindenburg, as it crashes into the Titanic, while a towering tsunami bears down on the two crafts, as hundreds of mushroom clouds blossom on the horizon, while a city-sized meteor enters the atmosphere, transforming a former dark and sullen sky into a blinding and fiery incandescent Hell from which nothing survives.

Oh, and there's this guy on a tiny desert island lying on a couch, complaining to his psychiatrist that egg prices are too high.

Got it?

Good.

Now I don't have to draw it.

(The following was broadcast before a live audience of about twelve people on C-SPAN)

Game Show Host: "Hello and welcome to 'Why Am I Here?', the question-and-answer show that asks the question 'Yes. Why ARE you here?' Our first contestant is Kristi Noem, Director of Homeland Security and first runner-up in the 2007 Miss Pneumatic Pie-Hole contest. Are you excited to be here, Kristi?"

Noem: "Huh? Oh, yeah. Whatever."

Host: "Okay! Your first question today is: What is 'habeas corpus'?"

"Is it:

(A) A species of amphibian?
(B) A new K-pop boy band?
(C) A psychiatric disorder?
(D) Or the fundamental right of U.S. citizens to demand their day on court?

Noem: "Oh, this is easy. I know everything about penguins so the answer is definitely 'amphibian'."

(SFX: klaxon)

Host: "No, I'm sorry. The correct answer is D. But you have one more chance. Your second question is: What is 'habeas corpus'?"

"Is it:

(A) The original name of the Gulf of Mexico?
(B) Element 223 in the Periodic Table?
(C) The number just after 7?
(D) Or the fundamental right of U.S. citizens to demand their day on court?"

Noem: "What are you, a moron? You know as well as I do it's the Gulf of America, so I'm going with answer A. Did I win anything?"

Host: "No, but everyone else lost."
