Non Sequitur by Wiley Miller for November 05, 2018

Well, you’ll need a better wardrobe, some fancier booze, and… um… can’t think of anything else right now…

Looks like he has the necessary qualifications.

An honest criminal might find it hard to adjust to politics.

it needs a qualifier like “GOP” senator to fully understand the depravity of same.

If you look at the last x presidents, there is one common factor (except that you are a rich male criminal of course). Lying. But, the game he plays is an excellent training for that, so go for it. (Okay, this message is a bit serious, but I think it’s also funny. )

Looking to replace McConnell. Go for it. You can’t be any worse than him.

Babyface Beto!

Must be considering running on the RED Ticket !!!

All politicians are scum. Some are scummier than others.

Expect the mud-slinging and lies in the ads. But then ask yourself, which party relies on paranoia, ignorance, fear and hate as its platform.

That’s not a career change. You just let someone else carry the guns.

Then the stealing is legal.

The Spiro Agnew path to government.

twincaman: yes the 14th amendment and also the 2nd amendment which in case you have forgotten reads: a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed.

According to lore, politicians do their deals in similar rooms, so he has all the experience he needs.

twincaman: you must not have read "a well regulated militia being necessary to the security of a free state. do you cherry pick from your bible also?

Be sure he’s a registered Chicago Democrat…

twincaman: MOM

twincaman: gotta go. i have a life…

Not as much as a career change as a promotion.

He would be a junior partner in the Trump crime family.

Well, it appears that at least two of them are left handed – Significance?

All this hate is just sad. I fear for the Republic.

There could be more money in it…

“Keep your friends close, but keep your enemies closer”…. He has a good start on his political career.

While we are on the subject of evildoers, be sure to vote!

Little late to be thinking about running for the Senate, isn’t it? Election’s tomorrow.

Good call, I’d say.

Laundering the money through the campaign, eh

He wants to go for the big money…

This is almost a re-cycle of a previous cartoon. The punchline in that one was something like: “No I did’nt say I was going to go straight. I said I was thinking of running for Congress.” Besides a waaay better wardrobe, the characters in both ’toons really, reaaaallly need a shave. (Except for the guy with his feet in a tub of concrete in the earlier ’toon!)

I kinda, sorta, almost suspect that the date of the earlier cartoon also had a single digit date in November…..

“[S]ome of the most terrible things in the world are done by people who think, who genuinely think, that they’re doing it for the best, especially if there’s some god involved.” Terry Pratchett.

A pretty good summation of the Right’s interpretation of Machiavelli’s “the ends justify the means.” The problem arises from the “ends” not always being what was intended.

or President.

I’m hiding in the bottom drawer of the filing cabinet.

Trying to make the leap to the big leagues? Good luck.

Well, I’d say you’re about half way there.

I seem to remember Wiley doing a similar comic a few years ago.

The two largest differences are that a Senator will need a Wardrobe upgrade and will have a Staff to help count the Loot.

You’ll fit right in!

Is that Chris Christie? Mob boss Governor of NJ?

Since Trump didn’t want him in his administration, and he’s used up his term limits for Governor, I guess he has to run for Senate now. No term limits there! He can peddle his influence for the rest of his life.
