Saturday Snickers

Saturday has rolled around again, meaning it is time to identify a few favorites from Steven Hayward's weekly collection of cartoons, posters, captioned photos and generalized snark, posted at Power Line.

Photo of Lone Starr and Princess Vespa from the Mel Brooks' film Spaceballs, captioned:
Star Wars Episode 8 Spoiler
Rey's Parents
Cartoon of a glum Garrison Keillor, wearing a tee shirt labeled "MEBEGON."

Poster with the following warning:
Breaking News:
Santa Claus Accused
Of Sexual 
Harassment For
Having Girls Sit On
His Lap And Asking
Them If They Are
Naughty.

Cartoon of a fierce biblical Moses, holding the Ten Commandments. His voice balloon says:
Of course, none of
these apply to the
DEMOCRATS

A Branco cartoon in which Obama and the Democrat donkey point at Trump and Netanyahu who hold an Israeli flag in Jerusalem. The guys pointing yell "HITLER!" Branco's Trump looks like Christopher Walken with red hair.

Cartoon headed "Tax Cuts Explained." On left we see the GOP elephant saying, "You get to keep more of your money." On the right we see a more-than-normally-deranged Nancy Pelosi wearing a sandwich board labeled "The End Is Near" while she screams "This is Armageddon!"

Photo of a restaurant parking lot, where a sign proclaims:
NO NFL HERE
Make America Great Again!
Photo of the NYC would-be suicide bomber from Bangladesh lying on the sidewalk where he ended up, captioned:
Help, I've fallen
And I can't blow up!
Finally, in lieu of the usual concluding photo of a swimsuit model holding an assault rifle, we have a cartoon of a very slinky lady wearing Princess Leia's costume and hairstyle from the first ever Star Wars film. She brandishes a broomhandle Mauser and leans against R2-D2.
