This is intended as a insult, but it’s actually spot on. Boots are healing tools used to help mend broken bones, pulled muscles and strained ligaments. Only thing wrong with this cartoon is Sam needs a body-sized version after the last four years.
Once again, Ramirez hits the ground limping. Rather than spotlight a Biden policy with which he disagrees and then lay it out, piece by piece, showing what’s misguided about a particular policy, Ramirez simply hobbles Uncle Sam with a walking boot à la a man who’s NOT afraid of dogs. Ramirez’s ploy is to denigrate whatever policy a reader might conjure up in his/her own mind rather than have the guts to say THIS policy is WRONG or THAT policy is WRONG. Ramirez uses the Trumpesque BUGABOO argument: Ramirez can’t actually criticize a specific policy, but he doesn’t like the fact that the few barely outlined policies Biden has intimated so far don’t fall immediately flat on their face as have so many of the Trump/GOP Leadershit policies. That’s unforgivable and Ramirez is DETERMINED to denounce the ASSUMED BIDEN POLICIES, WHATEVER they are. He condemns the very idea of a non-Trump/non-GOP Leadershit policy and lets readers substitute THEIR OWN baseless, imaginary fears and concerns and, since those gullible, dim-witted, ignorant readers DON’T KNOW what’s troubling them, they MAGNIFY their collective FEARS. The evidence and the facts seem to support the conclusion that Ramirez IS UTTERLY CLUELESS when it comes to an objective evaluation of the real world; a world in which more than 200,000 people EVERY DAY fall victim to the Covid-19 Pandemic. Many of them will die, yet Ramirez devotes his time and attention to sandbag the public with frivolous fears. Shame on Ramirez and shame on those who buy into his fearmongering.
I’ve been waiting four years for Ramirez to draw a toon showing Trump in a positive light. All Mike draws are negative toons about the Dems, as if that will make Trump look good by comparison. Come on, Mike, I dare you to draw a positive toon featuring Trump.
What rock have you been under for the last four years, Michael. Trump rode the 2008 to 2016 economic wave, nearly destroyed out standing with the other democracies, appointed inept or corrupt people to key positions in our own government, and in general, left chaos and mismanagement across the board. He’s nothing but a tin pot wannabe dictator/con man/ lifetime loser. Of course he had help, but that’s another subject. If Biden is nothing more than the anti-Trump and the Senate, at least 3 of the Republicans, can grow a spine, then we’re immeasurably better off. Go back under your rock.
Uncle Sam’s boot is there because of Dump’s policies, not Biden’s. Remember it was Dump’s bonespurs that kept us from achieving real greatness as a total nation. Those who were already doing well got their taxes lowered, the rest saw a raise. Those who were very wealthy got more wealthy. The rest of us got screwed. No, I’ll take a temporary ankle boot any day over bone spurs that are forever.
Since the boot Biden is wearing is a device to protect an injury (the Trump era) from further damage (2nd term?) while the body (America) heals, it seems appropriate.
Guessing that Ramirez won’t tell us whether Sheldon Adelson is still trying to get a refund of the $75 million he donated to the COVID-19 Denier-in Chief’s reelection bid….
Biden’s not even in office yet, but Trumpers like Ramirez have already conceded total power to him (even will refusing to concede the election results)…
Unfortunately, after the Trump injury, and multiple hairline fractures in our democracy, the Biden boot will be necessary in order to recover for the next four years.
Hmmm, I assume that “Biden’s policies” is actually shorthand for “All the lunatic things that Publicans claim Biden wants, not what he himself has said”. That is, a weird compound of recycled Bernie Sanders, misunderstood AOC, Gospel teaching, and “conservative” fever dreams stoked by the editorials in the Wall Street Journal and the ravings of Fox Noise.
We just had the largest budget deficit of any government in world history, thanks to the GOP Tax Scam but Biden is the problem? Mikey is a little crazy.
He can say this because DJT’s foreign policy, like all his policies, is just so $%^&* wonderful. How ’bout their latest (exposed) stunt: DJT et al had contact info for parents of separated migrant children & just now released it [to ACLU.]
So Biden has a moon boot. Big deal! He is ambulatory and able to walk down ramps unaided. Still rides a pushbike, while the Orange one could not even get on one. While we’re at it, suggesting he is recycling policies from the past while the Orangeotan recycles fake news about ‘election tampering’ is, I think, a little rich.

Murderous Moscow Mitch will be that boot if he gets the senate again.

Ramirez shows his Trump Disciple analysis skills yet again.
A boot is applied so that the injury can heal.
Healing of the country is the last thing any Trump Disciple wants. They celebrate every act of sabotage and damage to America that Trump commits.

We can only hope Biden’s policies can help heal America, like a medical support boot can help heal an ankle.

Beats whatever served as Trump’s policies the last 4 years. It’s the reason Uncle Sam needs a boot in the first place.

Well, this should be infinitely easier than being shackled by Trump’s idiocy, bigotry, hatred, racism, and narcissism.

Yes! What a great metaphore! A medical device used to heal and correct an injury!
Wear that as long as necessary and walk proud once again Uncle Sam! Recover from the injuries caused by the previous administration.
Well done, Mike!
NeedaChuckle Premium Member over 3 years ago
Yes, wearing a mask for 100 days will ruin us being NUMBER ONE in the world with 279,000 Deaths and 14,000,000 cases of Covid. Ramirez hates that.

After Trump, a boot won’t do; Uncle Sam is going to need a full body cast.

A boot will help it heal and grow stronger. As opposed, of course, to Il Douche’s noose around our necks.

Meanwhile, the GOP has been systematically amputating limbs and harvesting organs from Uncle Sam. They prefer cannibalism to socialism.
