THE STATE OF THE ONION
Cartoon published 03/08/2024

I once drew Joe Biden as a potato. After all, many refer to him as a vegetable…a ‘Joe-tato.’ As Joe continues to vegetate it seems reasonable to draw a variation. Here he is, presented as an onion—an old onion with raspy skin and many lines.

The State of the Union speech also revealed the state of the onion. My first impression of Joe’s delivery was that he was very LOUD. It’s obvious they pumped him up to his gills with some meth-like substance. People with dementia often exhibit anger and Joe sounded jacked up and angry.

His first topic wasn’t even about the state of our union! It was about Ukraine. ‘Dark Brandon’ wants to send endless billions of dollars in taxpayer money to fund a losing war in a country where we should have no interest. He also wants to build a pier of some sort so we can ship taxpayer-paid goods to Hamas while also sending billions of dollars to Israel. Joe wants to play both sides. It would be better if our country stayed out of wars a half planet away. Maybe we should at least stop the ongoing invasion into our own country first.

Many of us expected him to embarrass the country as well as himself. He’s done that already many times. On second thought, Biden is beyond embarrassment, just like his son Hunter. The Biden family seems to have no shame and Joe is detached from most Americans. He’s a sociopathic criminal without a conscience. He lives in another world…a world of great privilege and protection. He doesn’t have to worry about getting accosted by one of his illegal immigrants.

There is no heart in the onion that is Joe. He gleefully announced he would overturn Roe vs. Wade himself to make sure endless millions of unborn babies are easily massacred. This is something the Democrat Party pushes and applauds…even abortion up until the day a baby is born. It’s enough to make one cry, but onions tend to do that.

Overall, Joe delivered an angry campaign stump speech—not a State of The Union address. There was nothing in the speech to unite Americans. Instead he delivered the same tired lies and partisan palaver. Orange man bad! Pay your fair share! (he never tells us what is fair). The January 6 insurrection was nearly as bad as the Civil War! Grab the guns!

Then came his obligatory climate change push—even though most Americans know it’s all a hoax and don’t care about it. They’re too busy working to pay inflated grocery prices, even though Biden assures them the economy is great and inflation is going down.

People know Joe is gaslighting them. His speech may have pleased his far-left radical base, but most Americans probably saw him as the doddering old man likely to shout, “Get off my lawn!” If one peels back his layers, only more mean-spirited lies would be found.

In essence, the Democrat Party’s solutions are circularly destructive. Their bonehead Marxist policies cause grave problems. Their perpetual solution? Bigger and more intrusive government.



Joe’s most egregious insult occurred when he mentioned Laken Riley. She was murdered by one of Joe’s illegal immigrants. He called her “Lincoln Riley.” Joe either didn’t care or he had no clue about her just ahead of his speech, but that’s Joe Biden. Careless and clueless.

BIDEN’S STATE OF THE UNION 2024
Cartoon published 03/07/2024

Joe Biden was installed as president due to election fraud. Under the influence of amphetamines, he will make a State Of The Union speech this evening. I’m jumping the gun by posting this cartoon, but it sums up what Biden has done the country. His ‘accomplishments’ include:

• A wide-open southern border that resulted in the influx of millions of invaders from all over the world. Traitor Joe calls them ‘newcomers.’ Joe actually flew in illegal aliens on passenger jets—on the taxpayer dime, of course. Americans must now deal with more drugs, rampant crime, and higher taxes.

• Joe has led us to the precipice of World War Three. He and his Democrats have an irrational hatred of Putin. Or maybe it’s the fact they profit from kickbacks when they fund wars around the world.

• Inflation has made food unaffordable to a great many Americans. His woke, “Bidenomics” economy is a joke. Joe is not smart enough to understand the economy.

• Biden’s ‘new green deal’ has been a colossal disaster. People have figured it out—electric vehicles are a flop. Windmills and solar cannot replace oil and gas.

• Biden has gone after whistleblowers, conservative journalists, and MAGA-minded protestors. He wants them in leg irons and facing long prison sentences. Let’s hope Assange can outlast Joe.

• Joe and his functionaries are making censorship acceptable. He will smear anyone who disagrees with the ‘official’ lies as being spreaders of ‘misinformation or disinformation.’ Disagreeing with corrupt government should be illegal, doncha know. Joe also wants our guns. His attacks on our Bill of Rights are relentless.

• Biden’s evil forces want to divide families. They seem obsessed with grooming kids, turning them ‘trans’ and funding their sex changes. Joe says parents should have no say.

• Joe has decimated our military and destroyed its morale by making soldiers salute the LBGTQ flag while jabbing them with deadly vaccines. They wonder why they can’t attract new recruits.

• Speaking of vaccines, Joe pushed a Covid shot that killed and injured millions. He promised it would prevent recipients from contracting Covid and prevent its spread. It did neither.

• Joe promised to unite the country but he seems hell-bent on dividing it along race, sex, party, and class lines. Like Hillary, he has vilified all Trump supporters.

• Biden cares more about the climate change hoax than the American people—he wants citizens to suffer by taking away their combustion engine cars, gas stoves, and air conditioners.

Joe Biden is an arch criminal. He’s corrupt to the marrow, but he was ruled mentally unfit to go to trial. Like all Democrats, he can do whatever he wants and he will get away with it. The Deep State Swamp (including the FBI) will protect him. He knows he can sell us out to Communist China and face zero consequences. Joe is a globalist—a senile version of Klaus Schwab. I’m sure he’ll be touting bug ice cream if he gets a second term.

Joe promised he would serve only one term—but he lied. He always lies! The Democrats are now stuck with Biden and they know he has accomplished nothing but destruction. Therefore they will also lie—and loudly—maybe even profanely. Keith Olbermann and ‘Morning Joe’ have been lying aggressively and angrily lately. They are desperate. Don’t carelessly light a match around the corporate, leftist media because their gaslighting will only get gassier as the year goes on. They will tell you the economy is booming and inflation is going down. They will try to convince you that Biden is one of the sharpest presidents ever! They’ll dismiss the poll numbers as Republican propaganda. They’ll rekindle the Russia Russia Russia lie, which seems to be precious to them. They will label Trump’s supporters as “Putin puppets.”

The illegitimate Biden administration put up fencing around the Capitol building in preparation for the SOTU speech. Looks like ‘walls’ work.

Get ready for more and more outrageous and aggressive lies—you’ll hear plenty during Biden’s speech tonight.

So I guess that leaves Tatsuya the Sinfest Guy? He really does have a pleasant if simple style that he could've leveraged for something real if he hadn't decided to become a literal nazi. Like, at least a semi-popular webcomic, if not actually professional stuff with some more practice and polish.

I've been trying to determine who the most wasted talent in political cartoons is. Garrison could probably make money drawing weird furry porn given how raunchy his art style gets, which is a step above what he's doing, but it's not exactly a high-status job. Branco does "real" art when he's not scribbling hateful caricatures, but not at any sort of great level.

And that's the greatest irony of all. He did have a semi-popular webcomic (it even got translated and published in Norway) with fun and cartoony art. And as his opinions got worse, so did his art and it's now dull and lifeless.

Biden is the skinny old man, Trump is the round cheeked old man. It's beyond me how someone can be a professional cartoonist with so long record and yet fail to immediately see the problem with his caricature. And just because he wanted to cram in the 'State of the Onion' pun.

It is unique for it to be a total repeat. Every president for the last century has either been dead, disgraced, or term-limited by the time they left office, except I guess HW Bush. Running in multiple elections isn't weird, but the previous president coming back for another go is.

Plus people aren't really happy with either, as you say.

This would be a perfectly acceptable cartoon except for Biden's speech being on fire. Why is it on fire? What's the metaphor there supposed to be? It makes Biden look like an out-of-it putz, waving boxing gloved-hands inches from a burning stack of papers, which is pretty obviously the opposite of what Horsey wants to convey. Kellies Nomination: Unforced Error

David Horsey posted:

President Joe Biden was so anxious to come out swinging in his State of the Union address that he did not give Speaker of the House Mike Johnson a chance to make the customary formal introduction of the president.

For the entirety of the speech, Johnson sat uncomfortably behind Biden while, next to him, Vice President Kamala Harris got a healthy aerobic workout by constantly jumping up to show approval for each of the president’s applause points. And Johnson was not the only Republican made uncomfortable by Biden’s address, nor was Harris the only Democrat to be enthused.

Biden exploded the stereotype of himself as a doddering, dim-witted old man that is being pushed by the GOP and the right-wing media. He may have entered the House chamber with a shuffling gait, but, that aside, he was all attack dog on Thursday night. He relentlessly hammered the congressional Republicans and his unnamed predecessor in the White House, former President Donald Trump, for failing to provide military assistance to Ukraine and, thereby, boosting Vladimir Putin and undermining NATO; for undermining the reproductive rights of American women; for the sheer hypocrisy of their opposition to a border security bill; for their promotion of lies about the 2020 election and the Jan. 6 insurrection; and for a litany of other dubious positions on issues popular with American voters.

Democrats who have been wishing for a different candidate to lead them into the 2024 campaign ought to now feel much better about the leader they already have. If, in the months to come, Biden maintains the combativeness, good humor and quick-witted engagement with heckling opponents that he displayed in the State of the Union performance, he will be a potent adversary for the befuddled old man who will be the GOP’s presidential nominee.
