Saturday Snickers

Time for our recitation of favorites among Steven Hayward's weekly collection of cartoons, captioned photos, and generalized snark for Power Line.

A photo of Tom Hanks, portraying the perpetually puzzled Forrest Gump, captioned:
And just like that
They stopped talking about Russia
A photo of the statue of a seated Franklin Delano Roosevelt, captioned:
Threw over 100 thousand 
Asians in internment camps
Are we taking
this one down too?
A photo of the pyramids at Giza, captioned:
When will we tear down
These monuments of slavery? 
Cartoon of a Google search for the term "diversity of thought." It has come back with the question:
Did you mean: thought crime? 
A photo of Hillary Clinton campaigning, captioned with obvious reference to her many associates who have died in mysterious circumstances:
Fasten your seat belts folks
Hillary wants to be a preacher.
It kinda makes sense. She's been
sending people to meet Jesus
for the past 40 years! 
Cartoon of a Trump-like emoticon, captioned with a snide reference to the Dune saga:
I identify as 
TrumpGender.
My pronoun is
god emperor. 
The famous cartoon once captioned "Keep on truckin'", now captioned:
Keep on Trumpin' 
And finally, a Photoshopped © mashup of an A-10 Warthog firing its cannon at a pair of Star Wars © battle walkers, while a voice balloon from the lead walker says:
Oh, shi...
