Violent Protests Ignored at Mostly Peaceful DNC
Violent protests burned Milwaukee and other major cities. But they were the unmentioned elephant in the room at last week’s DNC.
The Democrats bend their reality toward a referendum on President Donald Trump’s handling of the coronavirus, but they bend it away from any mention of growing violence in American big cities run by liberal Democratic administrations.

Postal Service Dismantled to Sabotage our Democracy
‘President Trump is attempting to dismantle our Postal Service, out of a selfish desire to sabotage our democracy and maintain a grip on power.”
At least that’s how Rep. Alexandria Ocasio Cortez sees it.
But no worries. Joe Biden promises, if elected, to order the military to evict the Orange Man from the White House.
Besides, we’ll always have email.
Inauguration Day January 20, 2021
Inauguration day January 20, 2021 was my theme for this week’s Counterpoint cartoon. And here’s what I had to say about that…
One of the benefits of the cartoon collusion we practice here at Counterpoint is the opportunity to learn new things. For instance I learned today from Nick Anderson what WAP means. This is good to know because the Virtual Democratic National Convention began last night with Woke Joe bunkered in his basement as usual. Except for one thing. He kicked things off with an interview. Was it Jake Tapper? No. Was it Chris Wallace? No. Was it Cardi B? Hell Yes!
The Name’s Joe
And Cardi B is no GloZell Green Fruit Loop interviewer. She actually asked him a non-softball question, “People want to know, can you provide college education, this [health care] plan, without a big chunk of taxes coming out of our checks?” Sure, Biden explained, “Practical things, like making sure that everybody has to pay their fair share.” Whatever.
Inauguration Day
The basement thing seems to be working for him. So I projected my cartoon out 6 months. Hope Woke Joe doesn’t oversleep.
Sleepy Joe Under the Little Girl’s Bus
Sleepy Joe got woke and made that little girl on the school bus his running mate.
Delaying the Election Trial Baloon
President Trump launched a trial balloon about delaying the election. That would require acts of Congress and state legislatures which are unlikely.
And even if it did happen the 20th Amendment to the Constitution evicts the the president at high noon January 20th. So you’d need somebody to fill the vacancy by then.
And hope the mail-in ballots get delivered in time.
Speaking of mail-in-ballots:
Six weeks after New York’s primary election on June 23, the final vote tally in the 12th Congressional District remains a mystery. On Monday a federal judge ordered the counting of certain mail ballots that arrived after Election Day but without a postmark to prove when they were sent. Imagine this kind of mess 45 days following Nov. 3.
