In a boat at sea one of the men began to bore a hole in the bottom of the boat. On being remonstrating with, he answered, "I am only boring under my own seat." "Yes," said his companions, "but when the sea rushes in we shall all be drowned with you."

^^^ That is a lazy and stupid cartoon.

Well that certainly matches your lazy and stupid review of it...  :)

Cool. Didn't realize you drew the cartoon and would take such offense, or apparently thought its brilliance was so overwhelming that you'd take offense to someone calling it what it is.  But since you find my review lazy, allow me to expound: 1) the characterization of what Warren did/said, is completely wrong; 2) Trump's continued use of the term"Pocahontas" is indefensible, and just more immature, stupid, junk food bloviating from this sissy, gossip-obsessed, smooth-brained, lump of racist gelatinous orange fat.

Lol... Oh I took no offense and my reply to you achieved the desired affect. A much better critique of the cartoon.  So to your points...  Exaggeration and simplification are common themes in political cartoons.  This one is hardly any different.  The cartoonist DID label Trumps use of the term Pocahantas as racist which is probably more effective than "Indefensible, immature, stupid and racist" in the caption.

It is certainly is a poor effort to minimize or rationalize the President's racial slur.

Ok I've got to hear this rationalization. In what way did Warren use a racial slur?

I don't think Warren used a racial slur - but I also don't think Trump did. That's not to say his choice of words weren't inappropriate, given the venue, the occasion and the guests - but I don't think he's guilty of using a racial slur.
