OK, this is just as ageist as Kelley’s toon from yesterday,,,, and besides, every President has a host of younger people doing lots of duties for him…. I don’t think those “kids” will be making any of the important decisions tho… In any case, could they do any worse than the three year old we have sitting in the oval office now?
Good! That’s called succession planning. It requires long-range thinking, and a willingness to empower people reporting to you, even if they may be potentially better than you. This is what effective leaders do. (I know – this is my field of expertise.)
In contrast with #45, who refuses to let ANYONE share the spotlight, keeps all power in his family like a mob boss, and is clinging to this job – lying, cheating, and stealing as necessary to do so – strictly because he KNOWS he’s going to jail when he isn’t in office anymore. How do we know that? He told us!

I got a good laugh out of this, but eventually I’ll just recoil in horror that this is what our country is like, where we have a “choice” between a virulent fascist and an autocratic warmongering mouthpiece for the plutocracy.
Gosh, so he’s not running around encouraging crowds to adore him, regardless of health hazards? Sounds like a positive trait to me. By the way, all Presidents have staff. Surprised?
Yes, Ted, the current president is so physically and mentally competent, vital, and virile that of course he makes Biden look feeble in comparison! Can’t believe that anyone would want to vote for Biden! Not when there was a real live fire breathing progressive we could have nominated. Fortunately this is America, and you can still at least write in Bernie Sanders’ name and be satisfied that you did the right thing for America and the world.
What a novel way to present the “Biden as incompetent” theme. Now we all know Ted hates Trump. So his anti-Biden comics are more of a public service. Sure, they indirectly advance Trump’s chances, but Ted knows that the only way to save a burning house is to let it burn to the ground taking as many people with it.
@guyjen2004, have you taken your meds today? You think Kamala Harris, a hard-core prosecuting attorney, is a Communist?
You also think the left is the main haven for lunatics? The GOP just nominated a Qanon candidate! And that’s not even counting the malignant narcissist in the White House…
MSNBC’s Donny Deutsch bluntly explains the only reason Trump still has followers
“First let me answer the question you asked me last time because I’m outraged over this Post Office thing,” Deutsch began. “How do one in three Americans still believe this man about anything — the answer is one thing: one in three Americans are racists.”

You know, this consumption culture is driving us into hell. We have to figure out a way to get off this predatory, capitalist fuelled consumption culture. We must. It’s debilitating for our minds, our souls, our psyche. It destroys us when all we do is think about the next 24 hours of consumption. It’s incredible. It’s ruined even the productivity of this country to the extent that we now make products and products to last two or three years when we used to make them to last 20 because we want to sell eight or nine of them in that 20-year span rather than just one. We have built a system that is poisonous, perverse, and it’s killing our very soul, and not to mention our pocketbook. [emphasis added]
It’s actually PRC Capitalists who started the “make products to sell, not to give satisfaction”, and US Capitalist predators embraced it with open, greedy arms. Don’t do QC, just sell whatever comes off the production line and if it breaks, people have to buy at least one more and that’s good for us (the Capitalists), though not for the suckers (the buyers). But who cares about the suckers? They can either buy, again and again, the crap we sell at full price, or they can go without. Predatory Capitalism in full flower. The only further predation they could do is to require us to buy…and the GOP’s mandatory insurance program embraced by Obama was surely a trial balloon for that next, final predatory law.
This is one of the very best reasons for not supporting anyone -such as the elephants in donkey suits- that think the current system is really fine.

Over the years, Mr. Rall is consistently negative. No one has any redeeming features, ever. For me, he has become a sideshow. A dark sideshow.

Ted is a diehard Sanders fan. He will not accept anyone else. It is the Democrat’s greatest failing – they cannot accept a second choice.
