I’m always astounded at the number people who actually believe this sort of crap. And actually, thinking about it, I’m astounded at the people themselves.
I am, as a European, not only angry with this weird image. I’m saddened and feel hopeless: If even this horrifying attack on the Capitol cannot convince people of who really is the problem here, then I fear for the future. For yours and ours.
Yeah, because after the Republican’s attempted insurrection, it’s up to the Democrats to not be divisive?
At risk of repeating myself, that ship has sailed. Frankly, nothing the Democrats can do to make things more divisive than the Republicans have already done.
Oh, now THAT’s rich! The other guy lies 24/7 about everyone and everything, makes false claims about a free and fair election he lost because he is a horrible president, makes threats against other elected officials, whips up his minion mobs into a seditious attack on the Capitol … and when others suggest he should be held accountable, that’s pouring gas on the fire. Ha!
MAGA terrorists attack the heart of our Democracy murdering a police officer. But now it’s up to Democrats to defuse things? Not the arsonist in the White House or the Republicans in Congress who created this sedition. But the Democrats who have been warning for years this is where the GOP was heading.
Yes, the way he encouraged those at the rally to march on the Capitol and to be strong, and his stooge told them to take up combat. No, wait a minute. That was Trump. I don’t know how you can come to this contortion of the truth unless you are completely delusional.
The limited intelligence of the cartoonist is on full display in the latest scribble disgorged for public ridicule.
However, I have no doubt that the quisling insurrectionists that call themselves a trump-supporters will dance around this drawing like a primitive mob would for any spurious god image.
Varvel, you are out of sequence: You post the cartoon then you run it through your horse. You do not run it through your horse until after it’s posted! FYI…
Yes.. for heavens sake, it’s time for healing. look the other way like the republicans do. Mind.. only when it involves republicans, word is they are still looking for Hillary’s emails. But still, leave trump be, surely he has seen the error in his ways and will be.. nice.. from now on. /s
Mr. Varvel are you pissed that Mr. Biden won’t stop the latest impeachment effort and are now dragging him into this, trying to pin it on him too?
If that is the case, you’ve forgotten your Civics lessons. Have you considered that perhaps Mr. Biden is simply, and lawfully, allowing the separate branches of government to do their Constitutionally granted tasks? Per the Constitution, you know, the thing right-wingers quote all the time but have no idea what it actually means (see also: “The Bible”…) Congress does not report to the President. The Constitution is written such that Congress, and the Supreme Court, are in fact, checks on Presidential power. Alas, impeachment is Congress’s call, regardless* of what the President wants, EXACTLY BECAUSE the President, at some point, may do something impeachable and not want to be impeached, but has to be…
Now, to be fair to me, if President Joe Biden were to say, oh, I dunno, incite a little insurrection, I am sure you would want Congress to impeach him, irrespective* of the make up of their political party mix, no?
translation: “irregardless”, if you are reading this and are Senator Josh Hawley…
And so it begins. Now, comes the attacks on Biden and the stupid reasoning behind it. I guess Gary is referring to the inflamed anger we’re experiencing after the election. It’s true another impeachment will likely cause more anger within the protrumpers, but Biden isn’t stoking those fires. His focus is on the pandemic brought to us by Gary’s WH hero, Dump. The second main item on the Biden agenda is getting his heads of his cabinets approved of in the Senate. The second impeachment is way, way down on his list. So, Gary needs to refine his art pencil and brain to get it right, unless being considered an ordinary Repub ’toonist is OK by him.
I’ve been very impressed by Biden’s conduct during this crisis. He wasn’t my first pick for the presidency, but I’m beginning to think he’s the right person fro the job right now. Oh, Varvel??? Just his usual inflammatory idiocy.
Looks like Gary has moved from the strong mixed drinks on Fox to gulping straight grain alcohol on NewsMax and OANN and is totally soused on their misinformation.
Gary, life moves pretty fast so I’m not always up to speed on what inspires your ’toons. Please help me out….
1) Did Biden yell “YOU LIE!” during a joint session of congress and that’s what you mean by pouring gas on the fire?
2) Did Biden say the virus that has killed more than 370000 Americans is a Hoax and one day it will just magically disappear? Is that what you mean by pouring gasoline on the fire?
3) Did Biden push a supreme court justice into place that offends you? Is that what you mean by pouring gasoline on the fire?
4) Did Biden suggest launching nukes at hurricanes? Is that what you mean by pouring gasoline on the fire?
5) Did Biden say “Take the guns first. Go through due process second, I like taking the guns early”? I can certainly see where YOU would see that as pouring gasoline on the fire.
6) Is Biden making Hillary Clinton the Attorney General with instructions to be his personal attorney to go after his enemies? Is that what you mean by pouring gasoline on the fire?
This is beyond delusional. With other cartoonists, I roll my eyes and think “this person is being deceptive”… but THIS? I genuinely question Varvel’s mental health.
Right… it’s not the Hate Cheeto encouraging losers to march on the Capitol who’s burning democracy, it’s the democratically elected Biden. What colour is the sky in your world anyway, Gary?
The Trojan horse for the most divisive group in American history says he wants to unify the country? Now, that is irony at its best. Identity politics has ripped communities apart and fueled discontent throughout the nation. Years of demonizing conservatives has created deep resentments. Adding Joe’s ineptitudes to the mix along with the progressives manipulation of his presidency and you have the recipe for a real stink show.
Small progress for the small brain of Varvel: At least he recognizes that Trump has set the country on fire. Unfortunately, he can’t get his mind around the fact that it’s Cruz and his cronies who continue to keep it ablaze.
I have held my nose and looked at all cartoons on this site if only to see what “conservatives” were thinking, but Varvel is going to be an exception for a while.
Trump causes a riot at Congress and THIS is Varvel’s cartoon? What next? Jesus raping children? It would make as much sense. Varvel, you’re a psychopath.
After four years of the GOP refusing to dampen the inflammatory lies of the ‘beloved leader’? Impeachment is only the Democrats showing how the fire starters refused to uphold the Constitution. Twice. History will record this.
No! Really!? Months putting up with incendiary remarks of election fraud, actual incitement to violence and all it occurred to Mr Varvel is that democrats should quietly shake their heads in disapproval and go about their business of promoting unity and across the aisle politics… Talk about alternate facts – Mr Varvel lives in an alternate universe…
Reminds me of the Dems who praised the rioters and looters this summer who were burning down the cities…now they have set their sights on the WHOLE DAMN COUNTRY!!
His website sez Varvel considers himself a Christian.You know, I believe if Jesus met some today’s “Christians”, and “Christian Leaders” who’ve promulgated this madness in his name, he would be more severe than with the scribes and Pharisees and money changers, so keep it up, Gary, and above all, keep it dishonest.
Incredible. First time I’ve checked out this guy’s work. We get an attack on the US Capitol building by a violent mob of thousands of fanatic Trump supporters, and a week later we get the grinning Democratic President-Elect pouring gasoline on a burning car labeled USA? This guy must be taking logic lessons from Ben Garrison.
