Michael Ramirez Is A Fabulously-Talented (If Hard Right) Political Cartoonist…

But I won’t begrudge him the ability to make a very comfortable living pandering to the hard right outlets, which in general, have long-lacked any really serious cartooning talent (since the 1980s, at least).

[Why that is true is a topic for an entire book, or at least a long post of another day. To sum up, hard-right wing fantasies are mostly… unfunny. Prime example of that, at immediate right.]

But Doonesbury — and my friend Rick Laurent (at left), and all the hundreds of other true geniuses… offer a reality based, or generally left to middle perspective. In any event, this Sunday morning, Powerline highlighted a Ramirez ‘toon, that purports to criticize Mr. Biden for NOT speaking up more forcefully, in support of the “blank paper” protests now coursing through China — related to lockdowns for COVID.

Maybe Mr. Biden could say more — but Mr. Ramirez misses the fact that overnight, right here at home… Tangerine went full-on “Ye”. [So I’ve helpfully improved his cartoon, as satire and commentary, at top-right. It goes with my critique of Mr. Hinderaker’s sophistry, of last night, late. Cheers.]

Donald Trump just called, in a clearly-prepared writing, for the repeal (or at least suspension) of all election laws, state and federal — and the US Constitution’s similar provisions… to declare him the 2020 winner… due to (wait for it!) some Tweets.

Wow.

Ahh… okay.

Y’all better come get yo’ boy.

He (like Ye) is clearly off his meds.

I just fervently hope… he stays in the race all the way to the GOP’s 2024 nominating Convention.

There will be NO GOP left, by then.

Flawless.
