Political Cartoon Satire: Hitting Painfully Funny at the Truth

You’ve been reading them all your life in your local newspaper. Today, you watch them online. The artists offer their brilliant focus of what’s “really” going on with our politicians both here and abroad. It can safely be said that many politicians lie…that includes Adam Schiff, Charles Schumer, Joe Biden, Barack Obama, George W. Bush, House Rep Swalwell…and the list goes back through history. Those same politicians get a lot of kids killed in bogus wars such as with Vietnam stopping communism, Iraq’s fraudulent weapons of mass destruction, Korea stopping the communist horde, Afghanistan’s rebuilding their nation, Desert Storm, which was a total joke, and more to come.
Why the American people can’t see through those lies, remains a mystery. In my own State of Colorado, both my U.S. Senators lie like thieves. Same with our Governor “open border” Polis who lies worse than House Rep Adam Schiff. Then, you see the incompetent ones remain in office into their 90’s such as Strom Thurmond, present day Alzheimer’s victim Diane Feinstein, totally useless, depressed and incompetent U.S. Senator John Fetterman of Pennsylvania. If you look into the quagmire of their lives along with their incompetence, it’s makes you sick to your stomach.
Enter the “satirists.” They bring fantastic cartoons that speak to truth, show it in pictures and ram it home in characters that we love. I read “Calvin and Hobbes” for years.
You might enjoy these examples:
“If liars’ pants really did catch on fire, watching the news would be a lot more fun.”
Gene Wilder smiled, “I can’t wait until the 5th wave when the people with four shots are blaming it on the people with three shots.”
Picture of incompetent four-star General Milley who got us out of Afghanistan with the most incompetent withdrawal in U.S. history, which Joe Biden called one our greatest military maneuvers. “Imagine if you will an American General called Milley Lie who will inform the enemy of an upcoming attack.”
Picture Biden pointing to a map of the red states and talking with a democrat operative. The operative said, “Where are you gonna put all the unvaxed illegal immigrants and Afghan refugees?” Biden responds, “Where we need them most…in all the red states.”
Sign: “This is what happens when you order a President through the mail.” Referring to all the mail-in ballots cast for Joe Biden who sat in his basement for the entire election cycle because of his Alzheimer’s confused mental abilities.
Picture of U.S. National Guard troops guarding the White House. Then, a picture of millions of illegal migrants overwhelming the U.S. Border with Mexico. It’s titled: Biden Administration Priority…U.S. Capitol for the first picture and U.S. Border for the second picture. And now, we’ve got 7 to 8 million of them and no way to deal with them anywhere in our country. And yet, Biden expects to be re-elected. Go figure.
“Do we still call Girl Scout cookies, Girl Scout cookies? Or are they called Gender Neutral Fat-ass Snacks now?”
T-Shirt wearer at a gas station, “Whoever voted for Biden owes me gas money.” It shows his fuel gauge on empty on his T-Shirt.
Picture of a little league football player with his hand over his heart for the National Anthem. “Attention pro athletes; This is how you do it.”
Matt Walsh said, “Leftist activists can come to your house with bullhorns. Film you in your bathroom. Loot your business. Burn police stations. The FBI does nothing. But if conservative parents raise their voices at a school board meeting, they are hunted down as terrorists.”
Picture of a Taliban terrorists picking up the phone, “Yes, hello.” Joe Biden on the other end said, “I’m calling you about the extended warranty I gave you on your Humvee.” He referred to the $90 billion in war machines we left to the Taliban.
Teacher at the head of the class speaking to a student, “Unless you’re one of the millions of undocumented migrants streaming across the southern border, you better mask up, young man.”
Man, at a grocery store with a T-Shirt that reads, “Your mask is as useless as your president.”
Picture of ghetto kids ransacking a store window and making off with thousands of dollars in goods: Acceptable and civilized behavior. Next picture, guy saying, “All I’m saying is that I think the vaccine should be voluntary.” Deemed a “Dangerous Extremist.”
Dr. Ben Carson said, “We’ve been conditioned to think that only politicians can solve our problems. But at some point, we will wake up and recognize that it was the politicians who created our problems.”
Picture of a frowning Joe Biden, “Thank you Joe for making the Dollar Store the Five Dollar Store.”
Picture of a massive wall to protect homeowners along an expressway. “Since 1972 the government has built over 3,000 miles of “sound walls” along our highways to “protect nearby homeowners from traffic sounds. If the government can spend $6 billion on walls to protect the homeowners from traffic noise, why can’t it spend $5 billion on a southern border wall to protect our lives?”
To date, Joe Biden who will go down in history as the Alzheimer’s President who has invited over 8,000,000 illegal migrants, criminals, terrorists, drug pushers, sex traffickers, birthright babies, welfare sloths, rapists, burglars, and killers into the United States in the past two and ½ years.
That’s a remarkable legacy. And yet, his democrat constituency expects him to work his miracles for another four years in a second term.
Some satirist needs to draw a cartoon showing how stupid the collective of the American people has become to have elected such an incompetent old man and liar in the first place. It beats the hell out of me!
