The Wild Wild West — USA!

I had the idea for this cartoon on Monday 4th Jan. and eventually asked Josh to draw it yesterday, Wednesday 6th Jan. I had no idea what would happen in Washington during the vote counting on that day. This event will possibly be the most remembered shootout since 1881.

Let me describe the image. Obviously it’s Joe Biden and Donald Trump pictured at the historic US Wild West event, ‘Gunfight at the O.K. Corral’.

The Gunfight at the O.K. Corral was a 30-second shootout between lawmen led by Virgil Earp and members of a loosely organized group of outlaws called the Cowboys including Ike Clanton that occurred at about 3:00 p.m. on Wednesday, October 26, 1881, in Tombstone, Arizona Territory, United States. It is generally regarded as the most famous shootout in the history of the American Wild West.

Thanks to Trump’s tweets and the inciting of violence as well as the lies about election fraud, Twitter finally has taken a stand against him. I’m hopeful that once he’s no longer President, they will ban him altogether. Using his way of phrasing; never in the history of Twitter has anyone been as awful and disgusting as Trump.

The tweet above confirm that the police are also in the republican hands, even though some of them had to run for their lives!

Facebook banned him indefinitely or so they say?

I just searched on Facebook and his profile is still very much there. If you can’t see anything below it will have gone.

A brilliant summary of what happened.

At last Twitter reacted on 4+ years too late.

Hillary Clinton tweeted this.

A tweet from 2016 with a black check (tick) mark.

And the award for best journalistic photo goes to Twitter.

Michael out!
