Saturday Snickers

Again, Steven Hayward has posted the week's gleanings of political cartoons, captioned photos, posters, and general snark. Power Line is where they appear. Herewith my favorites described:

Cartoon of flooded home in Houston, family perched on roof ridge in rain. Approached by small boat with rescuers labeled "MSM News." Rescuer says:
Quick! Grab onto this poll of how you think the hurricane will hurt Trump's re-election chances!
Poster showing Sheriff Joe Arpaio and below it the five mug shots of bearded terrorists once held in Guantanamo prison. The caption:
Trump was called a
traitor this weekend
for a pardon of
Sheriff Joe Arpaio.
You'd think he had
released the top five
Taliban commanders
or something.
Photo of Rachel Madow smiling at the camera with voice balloon in which she says:
And remember, folks.
It doesn't matter what
Trump actually said.
All that matters is what
we tell you he meant.
Photo of white man carrying a black woman through knee-high flood water, captioned:
MSM Reports:
"White Supremicists"
are stealing black people.
Photoshopped© poster for the film Rogue One, a Star Wars Story. Photos of stars replaced with photos of Trump, Hannity, Ann Coulter, Julian Assange, Steve Bannon, Milo Yiannopolis, etc. The new title:
Rogue Won, a Culture Wars Story
Photo of a guy wearing a ghost costume sheet with guitar hanging across front. He holds a glass of whiskey in one hand and a laurel wreath in the other. Captioned by a conservative Catholiic:
This year's most terrifying Halloween costume:
The Spirit of Vatican II. 
Photo of Al Sharpton in a drugstore aisle holding up a bottle of aspirin. He speaks:
There's cotton in my aspirin.
This is racist.
Photo of a presenter at an academic meeting with Power Point© onscreeen which says:
The amount of energy needed to refute bullshit
is an order of magnitude greater than that
required to produce it.
