Michael Ramirez for April 26, 2020

He should just duck.

The new old normal.

Close everything is the only reasonable choice. The other option is death. Literally.

Well, I don’t know why you suck up the right

I got the feeling that you’re way too uptight

I’m so scared in case I kill off my love

And I’m wondering what I’ll do when I’m shoved

Marx to the left of me, Hitler to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Yes, I’m stuck in the middle with you

And I know what it is I should do

It’s so hard to keep my hands from my face

Losing control, yeah, I’m all over the place

Marx to the left of me, Hitler to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Well, you opened up with nothing

And you’re proud that you’re a Trump-made man

And your voters all come a coughin’

Slap you on the back and say, “Please, please”

Trying to make some sense of it all

But I can see it makes no sense at all

Is it cool to step out the door?

Well, I don’t think I can kiss anymore

Marx to the left of me, Hitler to the right

Here I am, stuck in the middle with you

Somebody should tell them that “right” is not the same thing as “correct”.

If we had a competent administration, we would’ve had fewer deaths and wouldn’t have needed to be shut down as long.

Politic$ over Live$= GOP creed

I imagine when the open up protesters start dying they well scream that they were NOT warned that THEY could die from it too.

Ignore Republican lies, go with science.

So Ramirez, if you think both sides are wrong (and equally crazy), could you suggest a solution that is to your liking? You could draw a cartoon with your carefully researched and analyzed solution that would be ideal for the health of the people as well as the economy. Or at the very least suggest someone rational that you think we should be listening to? It is so easy to criticize, than to come up with good solutions.

How did this become a left-right issue? Keep things closed more people live, open them way more people die. This is not about any political ideology, it’s about not being stupid.

One way or another.. we die. And with trump in charge a lot of us sooner than necessary.

National Socialism [German: Nationalsozialismus], commonly known as Nazism, is the ideology and practices associated with the Nazi Party [or NSDAP] in Nazi Germany, and of other far-right groups with similar ideas and aims.

Karl Marx was a German philosopher, political economist, and revolutionary author of The Communist Manifesto. Marx is the godfather of the far-left.

They have in common the police state, the miss-use of the term social, — and something you can obviously relate to — they always spread ignorant lies everywhere they can.

Die for the Dow! … no thanks, you first!

Excellent commentary. Love it.

“STUCK IN THE MIDDLE WITH YOU!”

I don’t think very many leftists are saying that everything should be shut down. Clearly hospitals, for instance, need to keep functioning. Also food production and distribution. The form of these and other essential services may have to change for a while. I do wonder if tattoo parlors count as an essential service. What about the fate of small business? (Including, presumably, tattoo parlors)? We need some form of bridge financing, perhaps long-term low or zero interest loans, for small businesses. If we can prop up the big businesses, we can support small businesses.

Vote for Biden, he won’t inject you with bleach.

Ramirez draws another brilliant cartoon.

He eloquently expresses the Trump Disciple outlook of oversimplification, false equivalence, false choices, and lying all in one cartoon.

Time for your bleach infusion, Ramirez. Gotta save the stock market for YOUR GUY!

What Mr. Ramirez calls “Close Everything” is actually a medical judgement by pandemic experts, and then nibbled at by state and federal functionaries and politicians. Then there is the Trump factor. Mr. Ramirez sees both sides as a political duel. If Mr. Ramirez would have his way (“Open Everything”), it will take a lot longer for the corid19 to infect enough people (something like 80%) to develop some substantial resistance. And, epidemic conditions will continue for ? years while the 65 + generation is on the way to eradication. This is an interesting opinion on the part of Mr. Ramirez.

Well, since I’m stuck in the middle with all of you, how about we decide that the correct  response is to get more testing! … so that we can look at more (enough) data so that we can make an INFORMED decision?

Thank you, Mike Ramirez for demonstrating what is wrong with conservatives in America.

The politicize EVERYTHING!!!

Guess what, Mike…science is just science! It’s just the facts as best we can tell, based on all available evidence. Science isn’t on the left or the right, it’s just the truth according to the data.

But like Newt Gingrich said, when the Democrats believe something, it must all be lies.

Even a broken clock gets it right every now and then

Obviously the left wants everything shut down in the hopes that a failing eonomy will win the election for them. All they care about is power. Period.

Only the right wing protesters have the guns and want to grab power.

You keep forgetting these people are protesting the Trump Admin guidelines.

Right wingers are going down the drain of self inflicted insanity.

America used to have a team of scientists and medical personnel whose job was to monitor the news for any hint of an outbreak anywhere on the planet and dispatch a team to isolate it at its’ source. The Obama administration set it up after the Ebola scare, and it dealt with several other minor outbreaks after that. Trump cut the agency in his first budget. If we had functional leadership, we wouldn’t have to be worrying about when to reopen anything, because it would never have gotten here. We would be shipping supplies to China to control it over there
