The global economy is in better shape than it was at the start of the year, thanks largely to the performance of the United States, the World Bank said in its latest forecast Tuesday.” – WAPO
Obama even said this setup is what he wanted. A fool in the office where he calls the shots through his bureaucratic minions. In Obama’s own words to Colbert:
" I said this before. People would ask me, “Knowing what you know now, do you wish you had a third term?” And I used to say, “You know what? If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff, and then I could sort of deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, I’d be fine with that.”
It must be the Drumpfian propaganda of the day, the same false narrative. They must think we can believe them, not our “lying” eyes. (Oops, now the Eagles song from 1975 is playing in my head!) SNARK!
OBAMA: I said this before. People would ask me, “Knowing what you know now, do you wish you had a third term?” And I used to say, "You know what? If I could make an arrangement where I had a stand-in, a front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff, and then I could sort of deliver the lines, but somebody else was doing all the talking and ceremony, I’d be fine with that.
Even if Biden were diminished to the level the doctored videos try to portray him, I’d rather have a diminished President led by competent people than a diminished raving lunatic who will not be controlled by anyone; if he gets back in, with the state he is clearly in, he could order just about ANYTHING and no one would be able to do anything about it.
I’ve watched the video in question quite a few times. The “standing and staring” lasted what, 3-5 seconds? A hand on the shoulder? Proving that there’s friendship between two humans? (Does the criticism stem from MAGA inability to show empathy in any context?) THAT’S what you got? Oh and name calling too. Quite the convincing arguments.
If you still don’t believe Obama had to lead O’Biden off the stage at the Hollywood gala (and the man pulling the strings) then watch the “deep fake” video over and over again. What guest of honor leaves the stage and not smile, wave, mouth “thank you” to his admirers. Nope, just the usual a walking statue.
In a sense, Varvel and other conservative messengers can’t be blamed for their lying and deceiving. They perceive their job is to pander to their customers rather to be truthful and be true Americans.
That so many support these lies and liars is what’s such a disheartening development in twenty-first century America. We need to return to being a respectable and righteous Country .. the “shining city on the hill,” to quote a former Republican President who would be so disappointed with how present-day Republicans have become, were he still alive.
Joseph Goebbels, Propaganda Minister for the Third Reich, would be proud of this cartoon. Varvel sure uses a lot of Nazi propaganda techniques in his cartoons. Coincidence?
I understand that the video showing Biden going off into the blue, conveniently left out the part where he was going over to talk to some skydivers. But what are details?? They just get in the way of a good story!
This toon is total bs, obviously, but it contains some truth.
So the question is, which of two points it wants to make is most significant to RWNJ MAGA American citizenry:
1) Biden, due to age issues, is essentially just a robot dependent upon its programming [not in any way accurate, but pretty much exactly what Trump voters — and around half of all self-identified “independent” voters — really truly sincerely and deeply believe is the truth; or
2) a non-conservative man with black skin who already is a two term POTUS is currently serving a 3rd (and unconstitutional) term while also running for his 4th (also a ridiculous claim, but currently believed by many who are joined by more same-type credulous every day)
President Biden has never ever raged that he’d carry out retribution and revenge on those who don’t agree with him. If he has, please place the quote & source in a comment. I’ve never heard President Biden suggest he’d be a dictator… not even for a day. If he has, please place the quote & source in a comment. As far as I know, he has never been tried and found guilty of defaming a woman he sexually abused. If he has, please place the quote & source in a comment. I’ve never read that President Biden committed fraud on a charity. If you have, please place the quote & source in a comment. I’d list more “I never” but I’m running out of space and I’m sure everyone gets my point.
I wonder when the debates between Biden and Trump happen, and they dispel the rumor that Biden is incompetent and loosing it and find out it is Trump instead with his incoherent blabberng, will all the political cartionists start drawing Trump then the same way they are drawing Biden now!!!
I should hope President Biden is getting advice from Obama since he pulled America from the last republican recession/depression from Bush jr and with a republican congress fighting him all the way. Trump gave us this current one and it will take two term’s to fix this republican disaster.
