Biden has sat immobile on the Iron Throne of America. He is the Master of Malarkey by the will of the gods, and master of a million votes by the might of his inexhaustible calamari.

By definition, a meteor is a rock that hit the earth (and if it survives the fall, what's left becomes a meteorite). An asteroid would miss the earth.

It's a reference to how randomly unlucky and downtrodden the main paper dollies are. You know, the ones who have high level government allies at home and abroad, pay no taxes, have magically enhanced super diplomatic immunity, and are constantly bailed out by and given resources to pursue whatever they desire by various wealthy relatives. Those poor souls.

Oh, like getting into an accident in which they received no serious injuries and were quickly rescued by people in luxury vehicles? That counts as horribly unlucky to him?

Asteroids can hit the earth. You're thinking of meteoroids, which become meteors the moment they enter the atmosphere.

The only difference is the size; meteoroids are <1m, asteroids are >1m in size.

A meteor is anything coming through the atmosphere though.

Yes. Russia and China tend to cloak their right-wing nationalism in left-wing anti-American rhetoric so there are lots of weird geopolitical hipsters who identify as liberals pushing their talking points without a hint of irony.

I don't even understand what they're supposed to be "getting over" on Obama in this case. They're jizzing their pants over Putin ordering air strikes and calling Obama a pussy for... not doing that? Because the US has been bombing the absolute snot out of Syria and Iraq for like a year now. Am I missing something else that they want Obama to be doing?

Pretty much this. They want some symbol that they, as "generic, uneducated white Protestant", are still strong and relevant because other people who aren't like them are getting some say and that terrifies them to no end.

So much unpack in this stupid thing. First, the common saying isn't that animals "can sense weakness," it's that they "can smell fear." Second, the meme with bears is that they can smell menstruating women which would be a stupid criticism to make of Obama except we're talking about political cartoonists here, but by saying "sense" instead of "smell" you can't even get that innuendo. Third as people have said before, that bear isn't angry or threatening, it's curious or enthralled. It looks like one of those millions of OBAMA PIED PIPER HE BRAINWASH LIB MEDIA cartoons.

When US planes started bombing the poo poo out of ISIS, the usual hacks responded with, uh, "Why won't Obama do anything to ISIS!?!?". A handful grudgingly admitted that airstrikes were happening, and their angle instead was "Why won't Obama launch a full ground invasion of Syria!?!?".

I didn't even notice that. So the joke is either that the Obamas are so communist (unlike dreamy Putin-senpai) that they have a picture of Mao in their home, or that Putin taking advantage of America's weak and puny president to install communism worldwide?

At first I thought it was a homage to a fairly famous (at the time) photoshop of Palin in a bikini holding a rifle, but the bikini doesn't match and neither does the rifle. I kind of get the hockey glove but what's up with the magic 8-ball and the "Princess" nameplate?
