The Weekend Laughs

Steven Hayward of Power Line spends the week accumulating funny photo captions, cartoons, and other stuff to make us smile. These he posts on Sat. or Sun., depending I suppose on how busy he is. My favorites from this week's batch:
A collage of six photos of D. Trump with different black notables captioned:
"Donald Trump has been in the public eye for over 30 years ... and he was never once accused of being a racist until he decided to run against the Democrats."

A cartoon of a harbor tour boat passing a revised Statue of Liberty. She now wears a thong bikini, 5" heels, and a ribbon emblazoned "Miss USA" but still has the spiky tiara and carries the lamp. The caption: "President Trump insisted."

Side by side portrait photos of Presidents Kennedy and Obama, captioned:
May 1961, President John F. Kennedy
"We will put men on the moon"
May 2016, President Barack Obama
"We will put men in women's restrooms"

Three identical photos of the truculent-appearing mayor of Baltimore, in the first she says:
"I will not authorize my people to travel from Baltimore to North Carolina or Mississippi."
In the second a reporter asks her:
"Meaning what?"
In the third she replies:
"If those states want rioters and looters, they'll have to get them someplace else."

At a university graduation a line of cap-and-gown clad students being handed diplomas, after which they pass under an arch emblazoned:
"TRIGGER WARNING: Now exiting safe space into the real world."
