Transcript:
Goat: How goes your campaign for president? Rat: Good. I have a new campaign: 'Get up and go.' Goat: As in. If you win, we should all work together energetically to energetically to get stuff done? Rat: As in, if I lose, we should all get up and go to Canada. Goat; If you win, I will go to Canada. Rat: My drones will track down.

“My first act as President will be to start a war with our closest ally and neighbor.”

By drones he means voters, or something else?

Rat might be on to something — whenever a so-called “debate” comes on tv these days, I get up and go do something else.

It’s better to get up and go than to get up and find you have already gone.

Goat couldn’t go to Canada…if Rat wins, last week he said he was going to build a wall around the US border

It is not any better in Canada Goat. They just installed a government headed by a photogenic moron.

Actually Canada has higher standards than could be met by those most vocally threatening to move there.

Government “getting things done” is never good. Look what got Done under Bush, look what got Done under Obama…best if none of that got done. Government doing nothing is the best of all. The ACA shows that it is best to not have government do anything, they ruined so much by helping so few.
The wars in the middle east show what happens when the government gets things done too…nothing is accomplished, we lose all kinds of freedoms. Warrantless searches at airports and seizures of items. Warrantless wiretabs and other things (see patriot act that Republicans put in and Democrats under Obama renewed) all for a feel good nothing security.
Government only has a limited scope of what it should be doing, and it isn’t even doing that. It can’t even protect our borders as is.

We do need a wall.
Of course, that wall shouldn’t go on the boarder between the US and Mexico.
It be built in a circle around Donald Trump.

This is the way to do it. Generic political humor. Not hittiing any specific candidate. Those cartoons belong in the editorial section.

goat you don’t have to leave – as a ‘friend’ of rats, he will give you a cushy job in some federal position where you can get a salary for life and free healthcare and body guards and don’t have to explain or justify anything you do even breaking the laws. simply do what you want and get paid for it. so you can sit around all day and drink coffee or go golfing or take a month off to have some exotic vacation that you always dreamed of.so whatever you do don’t move to canada if rat wins – simply let the tax payers gofund you for the rest of your life.everybody else who gets ‘elected’ does it that way in this ‘so called’ republic where the leaders do the will of the people of special interest who pay them the most kickback money for their campaigns.oh my yes ‘we the people’

If Rat goes to Canada, the civility index of life here (in the USA) will be substantially improved! If Goat goes to Canada, he may not be officially accepted, due to speciesism….

Too many relatives in Canada. I think I’ll go to Mexico.

Goat feels about Rat as I do about Donald Trump being President. Are Stephen and I thinking the same message?
tazz555 over 8 years ago
my sister has the same attitude. If Trump wins, she will move to Cananda. Me..its the same if Hillary wins

Last year at this time I would have said no one is stupid enough to vote for Rat.
Number Three over 8 years ago
My slogan for Rat would be “Get up and go away”

MUCH better political humor, Pastis. Remember: will the gag make people laugh regardless of what affiliation they are? If the answer is yes, go for it!

If he becomes president, it wouldn’t surprise me at all.
