Hey, if you scroll down a bit so that the heading doesn’t show this cartoon looks like a self portrait of Gary himself…. So, Gary is this your Freudian way to say sorry for everything? ;)
Didn’t Trump start the pull out of Afghanistan plan and want it to end in May ? Didn’t he say COVID will disappear magically by April (2020) ? Didn’t he build the great Trump wall (which Mexico paid for ) that stopped all illegal immigration ? Didn’t Trump”s Quixotic charge on windmills solve all energy problems ? Didn’t he inherit a thriving economy from Obama and leave it in decline ?
What offends me most isn’t the oversimplifications and straight up lying in this cartoon, It’s the cut and paste job on Joe Biden…at least try to make it look like you drew the whole thing. Change up the motion lines or the wrinkles or SOMETHING.
President Biden: “Soon I will let China invade Taiwan. Don’t worry that the world sees me as a laughing stock because in the end I will get my 10% of the deal anyway”.
So, let me understand, Biden endorses vaccinating which people refuse equals a Biden failure? Texas would rather freeze than join the network and this again equals a Biden failure? Oh my, we need to budget more for education.
Varvie, I guess, would have carpet-bombed Afghanistan with nuclear bombs and machine-gunned women and small children at the Rio Grande.
OTOH, imagine PHS officers showing up at each house and apartment complex in the nation with vaccines and clipboards, … oh, wait, that was his August 16th ’toon.
Biden sucks but I hope he holds on. Yes, it could be worse with Hyena Headboard Harris in the Oval Office. Which makes me wonder what the DNC is thinking for 2024. Biden can’t possibly run again. Harris is unelectable and I think they know it. They will have to primary their own VP and act like they’re not pulling for some other candidate? Dems may lose the House and Senate in 2022 and the White House in 2024 because they couldn’t find better candidates than Biden/Harris for 2020.
The one thing I’ve noticed about these right wing cartoonists is that they are so happy to have a Democrat in the White House. It’s much more fun to play offence than defence.
I think the word surrender and a white flag have different meanings for the cartoonist than the actual accepted meaning. I agree that success can’t be claimed in some of those areas…but Biden has not surrendered by any stretch of the imagination (or ideology). Maybe Varvel is projecting what he does when faced with difficult problems to solve?
Nicolle Wallace: Trump’s own defense secretary admits he laid the groundwork for chaos in Afghanistan
The chaos in Afghanistan as the United States leaves was expected by President Joe Biden, according to an interview with ABC News. But others military experts claim that it wasn’t and that the steps taken ahead of this week laid the groundwork for chaos. MSNBC’s Nicolle Wallace showed a clip of CNN International from Tuesday evening in which President Donald Trump’s former Secretary of Defense, Mark Esper, explained that it was clear this was all going to happen.
These are all wrong. Trump surrendered Afghanistan, without consulting its government. The “crisis” at the border is humanitarian, and the Biden Administration is trying to rectify it. The rise of the Delta variant is happening because of Americans’ refusal to mask up and get vaccinated, which is due to the GOP. Biden is committing more resources to this fight, while GOP governors whine on about freedom.
The economy is recovering and growing quickly each month, and recovered its losses since the start of the pandemic, in terms of monthly GDP. Not to mention the infrastructure package. Biden is surrendering on energy either, I don’t know where Varvel got that from anyway.
Except for the more recent Delta variant (which Biden is making great efforts to mitigate), all of these same crises were present when Tr*mp was president. At least Biden owns up to mistakes and responsibility; Tr*mp never did that (he is incapable of admitting a mistake, despite having made many).

Yes, well, all these CRISES Biden has now were inherited from the previous Dumpian administration. And, gradually, steadily, Joe is fixing them.

Looks like Gary Varvel is having a “let’s blame Biden” crisis. I wonder if Gary had one of those during Trump’s term in office?
