I liked it under Trump better. Then the biggest worry was being killed by Covid and it killed a half million of us. Mass shooters usually kill only less than a dozen people at a time. /s
America is losing ground on its leadership on Covid deaths, but we still have a firm grip on first place for death by gun.
Peacekeeping is an order of magnitude harder than nurturing hatred and envy, so some ambitious self-centered politicians avoid it and take the path of the least effort.
I don’t argue with the plain language of this cartoon. But the sentiment seems to be that ONLY Biden is concerned with safety and security, to the exclusion of other administrations. I propose that the previous administration put forth a safety and security policy with a focus on securing the border. The arms race was a safety and security policy. “Speak softly and carry a big stick” was a safety and security policy. You can’t say that only the current president is interested in keeping us safe in our homes, schools. restaurants, etc. Other presidents performed that duty, just using a different agenda.
I know, weird isn’t it? And that there should be adequate care for the elderly. How we’re supposed to pay for all that while supporting “around” 5000 military bases around the world (“around” 600 of them overseas) I don’t know.
“We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.”. Joe, Kamala, Secretary Blinken, Speaker Pelosi, et alia, are following their oaths and doing their jobs, too bad the Rs flunked 8th grade civics.
Democrats want a population that is safe, financially secure, fed, educated, and inoculated.
Wow. No wonder the right-wing “Republicans” are freaking out about the “important” stuff, like “Cancel Culture”, “Woke”, masks, non-existent vaccine passports, scary black people, messkin migrants, and Mr. Potato Head.

It is like that. And I appreciate it being like that. Even if it’s not quite exactly that.

Congrats on 200 million shots within 100 days though. Trump couldn’t have done anything like that.

Not to worry.
We have more than enough gun violence advocates and perpetrators to ensure that does not happen.
