I seriously don’t understand this one - I mean I don’t understand most of them but I “really” don’t understand this one. I thought it was Trump that was trying to change the constitution to get a third term?

You know what pisses me off about these stupid cartoons about Biden throwing away oil jobs and the Keystone Pipeline? It was placed on Native American land, breaking the treaty the government made with their tribes. It's illegal and should never have been built in the first place.

Also, creating/expanding new manufacturing plants for electric cars and other green businesses would create a buttload of new jobs rather than trying to revive dead industries like "clean coal". Those jobs ain't coming back. All those jobs that Trump promised would return... didn't.

There's something satisfactorily pleasing about the notion that tude's annoyed by American politics though. There's no conceivable administration that would make him happy. I suspect any party that could please him is long dead and buried, and probably included Joe McCarthy. Or maybe that B-movie actor who played George Gipp. Just Say No, that was his catch phrase.

I have no idea who, out of everyone alive, he would like to have as President. Me, I'd like Trump, but that's not what tude wants at all.

I believe that's called a "chronic malcontent". He's probably a Bernie supporter.

Four years ago I voted for neither Trump nor Clinton cause I considered bpth qualified for the job.

This time I cast my vote against Biden. Though personally, I consider Trump to be a loathsome individual as President he got a passing grade from me.

Biden and the whole Demonic Party had just gone bonkers to the point that it begins to make Donald look good.

We appear to be in entire agreement then.

I am not a fan of Biden, but I cannot fathom the mind that can see Trump as anything but a repulsive dirtbag that has no place anywhere near the White House.

Were I an American I'd be right there with you but from a world view Trumpolini is the only man prepared to focus on America and ignore the rest of the planet. If only he'd got the Covid trains to run on time he might even have won a second term. President Trump was the definitive isolationist. If asked I'd suggest tude doesn't have an open mind on American politics but then, neither do I.

This might be what you're looking for, tude?

The thread is not so long that I couldn't easily go through from the start and count the ratio of positive to negative messages in all of tude's copy/pasted cartoons. I believe I would find very few positive ones. Can we assume that to be true, or would we prefer a hard number? Does the negativity reflect tude's mindset in relation to American politics?

And - on the subject of "misspoke" from the most recent example - what's the current total of demonstrably non-factual lies from the White House since President Biden took office seventeen days ago? Have any been observed so far? The Washington Post's Fact Checker database of the false or misleading claims made by President Trump while in office ended up with 30,573 entries, I'm anxious to see the equivalent details from the Biden administration but the nearest I can find so far is https://www.nytimes.com/2021/01/30/us/p ... -week.html

Go on, I have to ask - why is "small business" included? The rest is uncontroversial but I reckon some small businesses can be legitimate.

I'm wondering why Sputnik 5 is a Trojan Horse. Anyone any guesses? Is nobody going to applaud Russia's technical achievement?

Actually, he is NOT a private citizen, now.
The point of the impeachment is to change that.

I'll try again, tude. You appear to have missed seeing it first time.

Maybe the bit about not drinking alcohol for several days after getting it make the folks think twice about it?
I dunno,...
