Dems should be more concerned with the dems who are trying to keep Biden out of the race than a conservative toon that makes fun of some odd behaviour by Biden.
GOP Rep. mocks transgender rights, says Trump could call himself the ‘first female president’
The latest transphobic comment to come out of a Republican’s mouth? Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida made a mockery of H.R. 5 (known as the Equality Act) at a House Judiciary Committee hearing on Tuesday night by hypothesizing about whether or not the measure would allow Trump to call himself the “first female president.”
President Obama’s been out of office for 3 years and makes few public pronouncements. Hillary Clinton lost the election 3 years ago and has been fairly quiet politically. Can any of the conservative cartoonists have some originality and show different cover art for their comic strips already besides pushing the agenda of Mr. Obama being in bed with terrorists and Ms. Clinton being a liar? Mr. Obama’s administration was responsible for ending Bin Laden’s career after the failure of the previous ’Con administration. Prez. Trump has made lying so prevalent that people are making their livings fact checking anything he says (made that up but it sounded good).
To have Trump and his supporters denigrate Biden for smelling a woman’s hair while Trump has this LONG list of far more horrifying actions is ridiculous.
Note that this link includes quotes from Trump about him barging into women’s dressing rooms (denied this later) plus other links that refute denials from Trump and the Trumpettes.
Not an excuse, but Biden comes from a time when actions like his were considered “affectionate” – they really are too invasive, but they pale in comparison to Trump.
IMO, Biden should not run for president because he is too old. Same for Bernie Sanders.
Biden grasped a Cabinet official’s wife, and the photo went viral. Now, she says everyone had it wrong.
…
Stephanie Carter, the wife of the former secretary of defense, Ashton B. Carter[,]… was troubled, too. But not by her interaction with the vice president, as she affirmed in a Medium essay published on Sunday. Instead, she resented how a tender moment between friends was reduced to a single misleading image, caught in the maw of online punditry. In the essay, titled “The #MeToo Story That Wasn’t Me," she recounted how the vice president had whispered his thanks into her ear and “kept his hands on my shoulders as a means of offering his support.”
…
Instead of criticizing Biden, Stephanie Carter indicted the ecosystem of online outrage fed by Twitter, political punditry and late-night television.

BE CAREFUL, TOO, OF FALSE EQUIVALENCIES!
A kiss on the back of the head, or a nose rub can be intrusive and awkward. With some people they can even feel like power plays. BUT THEY ARE NOT SEXUAL ASSAULT. Pretending that those are the same causes real problems for people who are working to reduce the ever-present problem of sexual assault. Now, grabbing women’s genitalia when that is not requested IS sexual assault, and bragging about it afterward and saying that celebrity makes it okay is way beyond tacky.

I guess he should have grabbed her by the pu**y. Then the Rethugs would be okay with it.

Yeah I remember how outraged you were Chip, when YOUR GUY was bragging about grabbing women’s private parts.

For Trump Disciples like Chip, It’s OKAY If A Republican Does It.

If it was trump, he would be grabbing her by the kitty and groping the flag with his other hand.

This shouldn’t be the mane attraction, it’s just innocent affection.

And where was the outrage when the Mango Mussolini bragged about molesting women on tape? Hello, Chip? We’re waiting…

I despise everything that Bok represents, but this is at least mildly funny.
