A week (or so) remaining in the Texas legislative session and after a really abominable performance to date, the worst may still be to come.
Republicans in Congress are once more threatening to compel the nation to perform financial seppuku, and Joe Biden is once again folding like a rusty lawn chair to their austerity demands.
I don't care for Biden and won't be voting for him, but I don't hold animosity for the man in the way that Mike Fluggenock does.
It is with anxiety, chagrin and dread that I present this, my first cartoon of the 2024 Presidential “election” slog ...
…and despite the massive disappointment and lack of enthusiasm of huge swaths of Democratic voters, Gropin’ Joe announced his re-election campaign kickoff with a promise to “finish the job”… at which point yours truly, like millions of others, is cringing and asking themselves: what job would THAT be — immiserating the poor and the working class? Terrorizing immigrants and bullying our next-door neighbors? Fattening up the war profiteers and Wall Street? Beating down anti-war dissent in public media? Dragging us into World War III?
Lotta big jobs to finish there, Joester; guess you’re going to need four more years to thoroughly fuck shit up, huh?
IMHO there are bigger problems in the world that Biden simply has no interest or even the capacity to resolve. He was wrong for the job four years ago and now has the abysmal track record to prove it. Joe Biden is nothing more than the product of a dysfunctional system (OTOH, a system that's working perfectly if you're wealthy). That's why the choices will be presented as 'democracy' or MAGA 2.0. Fascism or plutocracy/oligarchy. I will choose neither.
