Saturday Snickers

It is Saturday and Steven Hayward has posted at Power Line his weekly collection of cartoons, captioned photos, posters, and general snark. Some favorites described:

Cartoon of a frantic, apparently rabid dog staccato barking his head off in the night, his water dish labeled “Press.” Each of his uncounted barks is the word “Trump.”

A poster with this simple news flash:
Breaking: 9th circuit orders
Kim Jong-un to continue
developing nuclear weapons
Two photos, uncaptioned. In the first Trump shakes hands with Kim Jong-un, in the second Hillary shakes the hand of a purchaser of her book at Costco.

Two side-by-side cartoons. In the first, a mainstream news anchor says:
The good news is, there’s a chance North Korea might give up their nukes.
In the second, the same anchor says:
The bad news is, it’s because of Donald Trump!
Photo of former SecState John Kerry looking tired, defeated, captioned:
When you realize
Dennis Rodman is a
better diplomat than you.
Cartoon of a wasted-looking Robert DeNiro wearing a Never Trump button, popping a pacifier out of his mouth while saying:
You talkin’ to me?! 
Uncaptioned photo of Robert DeNiro and Harvey Weinstein, both in tuxes on a sofa, deep in conversaton.

Photo of laughing Ted Kennedy apparently talking to a laughing Bill Clinton. Kennedy says “I drowned a girl.” Clinton says “I raped several.” Both say, “Thank God we didn’t talk dirty.”

Photo of Japan’s PM Abe looking askance at Germany’s Chancellor Merkel at the G-7, captioned:
The last time we listened to you we got nuked.
CNN Headline:
Trump wants GOP to court black voters — then slams voting rights for felons.
Followed by a Simpsons-style cartoon character who says:
So CNN is saying black people and felons are the same thing?
