All presidents have faced multiple problems at the same time. Especially when the previous occupant of the oval office left US in such a huge mess of his own making.
Aside from the fact that those fires were started and had gasoline poured onto them by the last guy, we can remove Israel right from it. Regardless of what any of us think of the Israel/Palestinian conflict, it is not our war. We give Israel lots of money each year, true, but there is nothing in our law that requires us to do anything. With Israelis themselves divided on the right course of action, it is not for us to intervene yet again in another country’s internal wars. We rarely make things better when we do.
As for gas shortage — a temporary blip that is essentially over and pointed to the willful wrecking of — or at the very least disinterest in — our cyber security by the previous administration.
As for the border “crisis” — we made that ourselves long ago. We continue to exacerbate it daily. One reason those people are fleeing their homes in fear for their lives is the abominable violence. And almost without exception all those high-powered weapons which gangs like MS-13 use are coming from the US. They find it ridiculously easy to buy weapons here and transport them back. So we are responsible for taking care of the people we ourselves have helped drive from their homes.
There are issues—always, not all of which are ‘crises.’ However one defines the problems, how is Biden handling them? The only indicator we have is polling and by that measure he’s doing well—a helluva lot better than the Blotch (whose current polls show that his base remains a stubbornly loyal minority).
Dumpster fire? Ho, hum. You’ll have to do more than THAT to scare us, Gary my boi. We’ve already been through the Trump “presidency”. A dumpster fire is hardly noteworthy after that. Yawn.
This ‘toon seems so desperate and a little stupid. There is no gas shortage other than a delivery issue, the Hamas-Israel thing has been going on since 1948, inflation is normal in an economic recovery and housing boom, the labor “shortage” isn’t backed up by data, and expecting the border issues to be fixed in 100 days after they’ve been made exponential worse for the previous 1460 is beyond absurd.
Varvel is just as clueless as the other Fox watchers. If you actually watched some real news outlets, you’d see things are being addressed and handled.
Bad idea from the Biden administration. This assumes that those not vaccinated will voluntarily wear masks. But many of those who aren’t vaccinated choose not to be and have chosen never to wear a mask in the first place. All those establishments who will allow vaccinated people to go without a mask are basically saying what Florida and Texas have already said: no masks for anyone.
Paraphrasing Neil deGrass Tyson: Declaring a mask-free area in the middle of a pandemic is the same as designating a “pee” area in the pool.

OOOHH! Gary is Jealous!
Biden isn’t saying to take people’s guns first and let due process occur 2nd.
He isn’t sending a mob to attack the Rs
He isn’t saying to nuke hurricanes.
He isn’t pushing hydroxychloroquine
He isn’t a malignant narcissist
and Gary is struggling with how bad his guy looks in comparison.

There will never be a shortage of conservative cartoons with a dumpster fire . . . . just a shortage of the truth.

It’s almost funny to watch how conservative cartoonists have to bend themselves into pretzels in an effort to find something to criticize Biden about.
