From what I get in this cartoon, the choice should be obvious. And in a way to me, all this ruckus and hoopla is good because this should give America a huge wake up call. First, on how politics can be ugly and vicious in the hands of the wrong people. Second, on what a true poison racism really is. To me that’s the TRUE and the REAL Coronavirus! And it should also be a wake up call for White people to finally see how Black people have been treated in this country for centuries. But I do believe that this there are so many White protestors in these BLM protests because they’re trying to prove that they are not part of the racism and prejudice that many of their ancestors were.
If hoses carrying water to put out the fires, Hair Groppingfuror’s would be all chopped up, leaking and unable to function. More realistically, a Trump hose would be pumping gasoline or such onto the flames.
Firefighters (and police) will be endangered species once there are no more pesky taxes to pay their salaries. How much do you think a “private sector” fire department will charge to work on a burning mansion? What will be the bill to find the culprits when your loved ones are raped or murdered?
While I’m pleased that Clay portrays Biden as the one who will put out the fires of our nation’s problems, I pray that Joe will add to that the economic advantage. He needs to show how his administration will bring jobs and a growing national economy for all through innovations in energy production and environmental improvements. We should be leading the world in these areas, not lagging behind.
Consensus, compromise, cooperation, deliberation, and intelligent, critical, objective, measured, reviews of prioritized, properly proposed legislation is beyond the capabilities of the current Congress, and until people who truly love our CONSTITUTIONAL DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC are voted into office [in sufficient numbers], the perpetual malaise and dysfunction will persist. The “Republican” party has been taken over by an extremist faction of quasi-theocratic, nationalist white supremacists who would be more comfortable as a tiny member nation of the Russian Federation [with their own dictator/dynasty] THAN striving for EQUAL JUSTICE FOR ALL that the US founders had instilled/installed in our Constitution when they liberated America from the Britsh monarchy to become the UNITED States of America.
“The cosmic joke was that Trump convinced a vast swathe of working-class white folks in the Midwest that he cared about their well-being,” Cohen writes. “The truth was that he couldn’t care less.”

I’ve seen this done in a variety of ways over the last several days. I totally agree with the fireman’s frown while he looks at the accelerant hose.

Our Firemen know which one to use to put out a fire. They don’t need to be labeled.

Gasoline? Trump deals with napalm.

That gasoline pipe is What caused the fire. Remove it permanently from our political scene.

Trump starts fires, then sells himself as a fireman. The dumbest 30% believe him.

From the color of the Fireman’s skin, he’ll feel obliged to use the Trump hose, or risk appearing “un-American”.

Such baloney…dude, nobody believes that anymore. Biden, the unifier? Puh-leeze. Trump’s going to win in a 50-state landslide inshalla.

This should be on billboards for Biden. It’s that accurate, thought provoking, and emotionally provocative.
