Trump just said e he’s glad that Kim Jong Un seems to be OK. It’s utterly disgraceful that an American political leader is sympathetic to a sadistic, psychopathic mass murderer. It’s a sign ,f his own moral depravity that Henry Payne equates temporary limits on commercial activity with mass murder, sexual slavery, and deliberate starvation of one’s own countrymen. This cartoon is sick.
I clicked on this because of the yellow “UPDATED” strip. . .I studied the comic and wondered what idiot could have come up with something so absurd, at which I went back to see who was the creator – - need I say more?
Well Payne. What’s the death count today, 60,000, 70,000? What’s it going to top out at? You do know that the government’s main responsibility is to protect the public?
Sure, let’s just ignore the fact that the actions she took actually worked. The Johns Hopkins data shows that Michigan succeeded in flattening the curve which is impressive considering the early models predicted that Detroit would be as bad as New York.
I don’t approve of all the name-calling that often goes on in the comments section. Whatever your perspective on any issue, cartooning and propaganda is art. However, I will point out that, as a result of the stay-at-home orders in Michigan, they had ‘only’ 196 new cases today, as opposed to 1,953 on April 3, at the height of the pandemic, or at least the first wave. So her methods are working for their intended purpose. Like Cuomo, Whitmer is regularly informing her constituents on the progress that is being made, so it does at least seem that she cares about defeating the “invisible enemy”. The real sign of just how much of an authoritarian she is will come when Michigan has had zero cases for two weeks. Or when the vaccine is deployed. At that point, it will be safe to completely reopen the economy, and if she really only cares about social distancing, she’ll do it then.
A year from now, when the US has more deaths due to COVID than the rest of the world combined… and people are wondering what happened, Gov Whitmer will be looked at as one of the heroes that tried to stem the tide.
You can always tell what the Trumpers are doing that they’re trying to hide, or what they’re planning, because they can’t resist loudly projecting it upon their opponents…
That is no way for a president to act, presidents are supposed to bring Americans together, not divide them and kill them out of perverseness to reality.
Does Payne even read his own newspaper (detroitnews.com) – https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/local/michigan/2020/05/05/michigans-covid-19-death-toll-nears-4-200-44-300-cases/3085980001/
Here in California we have 4 times Michigan’s population and 1/2 the number of Covid-19 deaths. Wonder if it’s because our governor and citizens are respecting what’s needed to tamp down on pandemics? Michigan’s governor seems to be doing the right thing. If only Payne and his ilk would help…

If she becomes a despot, the Rump would write love letters to her.
Payne is just a cartoonist for a blithering idiot of a president.

Payne knows that the whole self isolation thing is both unconstitutional and stupid. Because that’s what Faux is telling him.
PS: If Biden doesn’t choose a woman of color, he’d better have a damn fine reason (and damn fine reasoning isn’t his most obvious skill).

Maybe these cartoons are from Payne’s therapy sessions. If he draws enough lies here, he can be somewhat “normal” in public.

Trump Disciples like Henry are required to believe that quarantining is exactly the same as living in a North Korean dictatorship.
