Ted Rall for July 10, 2020

Ah. Now THAT’s the Ted Rall we all know and love. I wondered how the prior ’toon happened.

It’ll be a start.

You have to wonder about a lot of people his age surviving the fall/winter flu season on top of the pandemic … until inauguration day. I actually think the ☠resident’s chances are worse.

Been a long time gone

Lord, I ain’t had a prayer since I don’t know when

Long time gone

And it ain’t comin’ back

Long time gone – cover by The Chicks

Took you bitter pills today didn’t you Ted?

I’d rather have dead Joe in there than the Rampaging Orange Buffoon. He’d do less damage.

Media vita in morte sumus

In the midst of Life, we are in Death

Dead men make no mistakes and speak no lies

So Democrats should have gone for Bernie who is a year older and had a minor heart attack on the campaign tral?

Is Jill Biden prepared to be the new Edith Bolling Wilson?

Ted is off the Ralls.

Robinette? Presumably while Batman slept.

Normal what? Nobody seems to realize that in our democratic-republic, the People [via Congress] are supposed to be running the show, not the president.

We’ve never really been comfortable without a king, have we? We should never submit to these imperial presidencies that rob the People of what little direct representation that is possible. Presidents make no laws, represent a slim majority [if that] of voters, serve as lightning rods for warmongers, and are generally an impediment to progress.

It’s pathetic how we go on kidding ourselves that everything will be OK if a truly good president is elected. How could it be so, when each one starts with about half of the voters permanently pissed that their candidate lost, and with about half of the people not voting at all?

It must be that we are entertainment junkies first, good citizens second. How about a boring president that actually does their job of directing the executive branch to support the rights and needs of the people? A dynamic activist president — be they center, right, or left – is only smoke & mirrors, distracting us from Congress, where the real responsibility should be.

We are entertained enough without a ‘king’ president. Just vote for the one that’s sane.

Taking Rall off of my daily comic list. He’s become a one-trick Biden bashing pony. I don’t love Biden either, but he’s the nominee and considering the alternative, it’s a no-brainer. And if he gets sick or dies in office, who gives a damn. Trump won’t be prez.

The irony that is lost on Rall is that a zombie Biden would be orders of magnitude more competent, more compassionate, more inspirational than the orange traitor.

I do wonder why a liberal seems to base his cartoons on RNC talking points.

Well, after Trump, several late night comedians will have to come up with all new skits instead of rehashing the same old ones they do now. It’s about time.

Seriously? After this, why hold back? Why not draw Biden on a plantation with slaves or molesting a room full of women? I’m not saying that Rall likes or supports Trump. I’m sure he opposes the Republicans; but the enmity he has for Biden is ridiculous.

Ted – pls save for after 1/21/21

Still better than Trump.

I am so damned tired of people like Ted trying to convince everyone that just because he couldn’t get his preferred candidate nominated they should, in protest, either not vote, vote third party or vote for Impeached Murderous Traitor Tя☭mp☠. He, and those like him, are so upset they couldn’t get their preferred candidate that they would sooner see the country, and possibly the world, utterly destroyed rather than vote for someone they don’t favor. Well, I’ve only been able to vote for someone, rather than picking the better of two poor candidates, perhaps a half dozen times, if that, in the over 50 years I’ve been voting. Suck it up, do the best you can with what you have, and stop throwing away what you have since you can’t get what you want.

Goddammit Ted! Why not stomp your feet and pee your pants? You’re not getting the perfect liberal, so let’s destroy our best chance. How could we possibly do any worse than the criminal moron we have now?

Yes, we speak of things that matter

With words that must be said

“Can analysis be worthwhile?”

“Is the theater really dead?”

Still better than what we have now, but then so is a rabid raccoon.

Ooh, lots of touchy commenters. Why not just enjoy the humor for once? Also, no one seems to notice what I think is a smiling Hillary (red pants suit), all eager to take over.

Ted, I support you in your legal struggles, but what are you trying to accomplish with your cartoons lately, please?

I wonder what Ted will draw when Joe picks Senator Duckworth to be VP.

And I can’t contain my anticipation. Can I mail in my hundreds of Xeroxed mail-in ballots yet?

I still think you need to talk to a neurologist. Your cognitive skills seem way off.

What are we after here Ted? Reelect Trump to incite the Jacobins to burn the motherf&*$er down?

ted vote for west and get it over with!

Ah, propagating Republican lies again, Ted?

Another ad absurdum cartoon from Rall. Shouldn’t it be Biden in a casket and his, you know, Vice President getting sworn in. That is normal in our constitutional order.

(Insert Biden ’Biden_Drinking_Water_With_One_Hand.jpg)

Biden is younger & healthier than Bernie. Biden is certainly healthier than Trump. The nonsense about ‘cognitive decline’ only fools people who don’t know Biden has a stutter & that his speech patterns are the same as they were 20 years ago.

Biden’s maybe a little mellower, but that may be the work of his campaign team reminding him that one insult artist in this election is one too many.

We don’t need any more old white guys from either party.

If 2016 is any guide, Rall will spend every moment until the election whining about Biden, and if Trump loses and refuses to leave, spend 6 months whining about Biden.

While I would have preferred Bernie or Elizabeth, Biden is decent and capable which is far more than I can say for the orange blowhard.

Heck, I would vote for a stale donut over the orange blowhard.

Cast in our indifference like shells upon the shore

You can hear the ocean roar…

Ted Rall just doesn’t get it that our next president will be either Joe Biden or Donald Trump. If it is not Joe Biden, it WILL BE Donald Trump. There is no third choice.

Hey, Joe Biden doesn’t have his hand raised! Is that legal? Here’s a thought: what if Biden outlives Roberts and replaces him? Wouldn’t this cartoon look silly?

This is just disgusting. 130,000 Americans dead and this worthless swine goes for an ageist joke.

Swine.

Little late for more comments, but i procrastinate… Ted, if age were an issue, we coulda had Mayor Pete.

Ted, I’ve just gotta know, how much is the Trump campaign paying you?

At this point, a bowl of petunias would be an improvement.
