Most of the fools won’t even notice this is talking about the orange puppet. But the puppeteers have gotten rather more clever since the ’80s… Both at hiding and at pulling the strings.
The American republic has the stupids real bad. Democracy walking dead.
The zombies in the ‘45 is God’ cult will think this is about them. They always think strips about idiots worshiping false gods is about them… They’re right.
Hope Wiley had or is still having a nice vacation.
It’s been mentioned several times, but once more can’t hurt. This cartoon is from 2005. Going to guess it was from when W. Bush was Cheney’s sock puppet.
However, what’s old is new again with the Repubs, who are always doomed to make the mistakes of the past, over and over again.
I thought they stopped pummeling the Theory of Evolution(ists) in the early 20th Century. Perhaps I’m just being naive .. you’ll find me hiding under a rock.
I’m from corporate home office and I’m here to help. By, gutting your staff, fired those who try to start a union, buy out competition, send jobs over seas.

Joe Biden, the perfect sock puppet. No wonder they want the old man to run again.

Cap’n Eddie has nailed it. Unwanted truths often burst bigots bubbles. It doesn’t, last but it does expose a lot of phony philosophy.

Is the sock puppet meant to be President Biden?

Nice they included ‘sock puppet’ Biden in the strip, although the artwork could use some work.

So many magats think they’re so clever saying the sock puppet is President Biden, but they never say who’s behind him.
Whoever it’s supposed to be, it’s got to be better than Putin operating their guy. Our economy is booming, and his is on life support.

All presidents are puppets, just the side that supports it never sees it.
