FINALLY!!! We have a real leader again. It feels really good to hear the truth, even when it’s bad. A leader knows how to communicate and put it in perspective and inspire. Trust is earned, and Biden is earning it in spades.
With virtually no rollout plan at all, and after throwing out the Pandemic Response Plan and team set up by Obama, #45 still wants to claim credit for the vaccines.
Even if he were responsible for the vaccines (which he is not – the Pfizer vaccine took no money for development – it’s more attributable to the collaboration among scientists all over the world, including the Chinese scientists who first cracked the DNA on the virus but were demonized by #45), vaccines don’t mean anything if people can’t get them!
Furthermore, #45’s refusal to encourage aggressive efforts to mask and socially distance meant that there are still people who think that masks are some kind of evil plot, rather than a simple and practical way to reduce chances of infection. His refusal to take responsibility means he gets the blame for the effort being pushed down onto the states, some of whom had politicians who decided loyalty to #45 was more important than the survival of their constituents.
And let’s not forget that #45 knew this virus was deadly and airborne in JANUARY, but only admitted it in MARCH.
Estimates suggest that we might have saved at least 200,000 lives had #45 merely done his job instead of posturing. And the more people who have COVID-19, the more mutant strains are possible as it breeds, which undercut the effectiveness of the vaccines we have.
Even ignoring all that, had #45 had a plan to acquire and distribute vaccines instead of giving the plan to his idiot son-in-law, we might be that much closer to ending lockdown. But no.
He refused the responsibility; he gets the blame.
Biden, by contrast, had a 200-page plan on Inauguration Day. He’s negotiated to acquire 200 million more doses, which means we will get the critical mass necessary for herd immunity.
I watched President Biden’s talk in regards to 500,000 dead and the sunset tribute last evening. It is so tremendously wonderful to have a President with empathy and the capability to actually do something. 4 years of trump is enough for a lifetime.
Half a million deaths… Half a million, that is the population of my city, Virginia Beach. How many would be alive if not for the lies, denial, useless blame on China, and wasted arguing with “his” medical team? That is the classic definition of “tragedy”; letting pride/hubris get in the way, leading to such horrendous outcomes. The blame can be laid at the feet of one “man”.
MAGAts, white supremacists, and other extremists will dispute the last panel. They are sure COVID is on the decline because of the efforts of THE ORANGE PLAGUE (in between his golf outings.) DELUSION runs deep among members of THE FAMILY.
Only another couple hundred thousand dead and Covid will have killed More Americans than ALL the wars America has ever been involved in. Including the revolution.
A bit late, but I just realized this cartoon is missing a panel. One that should have had 400,000 deaths and an empty panel. That’s about when Trump just stopped paying attention at all, because he had lost the election and didn’t really care anymore.
Oh, sure he has his never concede game going on to keep his rubes riled up and sending money, but even he knows he lost and thus, why he stopped even giving lip service to the Covid19 deaths.
Joe Biden and Kamala Harris and are valid politicans, too bad, we don’t anyone like them in Poland. (Our current president, prime minister and the party chairman are Donald Trump 3 in 1)

The MAGAts know who to blame, if they don’t, Tiny will tell them in his sermon this coming Sunday at CPAC.

When you are on a runaway horse with the bitt in it’s teeth, it’s going to take quite a while to slow it down and turn it around.
