Laying Eggs

Laying Eggs

I thought I’d just do a quick cartoon on laying eggs but as soon as I sat down and thought about it I realized that a little bit more would be required.  The situation has grown too dire for quick quips and quick sips.  We’re in danger.

Building a wall and making Mexico pay for it started out as a joke.  But now no one’s laughing.  No one’s talking about this president in a rhetorical sense, not anymore.  Babies are being separated from their parents who they will never see again.  The president says not to come here illegally and you won’t have problems losing your kids.  And so eggs are being laid, bad ones.

We don’t even talk about the egg laid with Puerto Rico!  There’s still no reason provided as to why the hospital ship was delayed in going to Puerto Rico.  Puerto Ricans being U.S. citizens didn’t help.  Puerto Ricans being human didn’t help.  I guess Puerto Ricans being dark skinned is what doomed them from the help they needed from the greatest economic power in the world.  I guess the president couldn’t afford empathy.  I guess the president couldn’t afford sympathy.  What he could afford was to lay another egg.

The G7 Summit served as a warm up to Helsinki.  I guess it was an effort to get those omelets heated up just right.  The president seasoned our breakfast eggs with disparaging remarks against our allies.  He slow cooked the bonds that once strongly held our allies together.  Then the president turned the eye of the stove all the way up!  It was hell in Helsinki.  The eggs used were rotten.  The president knew this but used them any way.  The smell has gripped the whole world to where everyone is sick.  Democracy vomits profusely as it withers to die.  The president is anxious for another serving.

Oh, did I mention the Muslim ban?  When that egg was laid the crocodiles came out!  They didn’t come out all soft and cuddly.  They came out as mean as their creator.  The president owns this recipe.  He’s proudly the father of the wickedness he birthed.  What we’ve come to find out is that he’s not the only one laying such eggs.  His authoritarian dictator friends are also in the egg laying business.  Soon the world will be populated with such hate.  In reality this has already happened.  So the next time you go to eat some eggs, think about who laid them.  Bon appétit!
