Sorry, but this cartoon is misleading. The bar, by comparison, for the typical Biden candidate was a person with no relevant technical background, no evidence of management capacity and solely political foundation. Each of the Trump candidates comes from the operating environment to which his cabinet position relates. You may not like them, but Trump’s are far closer to applied expertise.
Michael hates Trump so most of his comics are against him and MAGA. He is a Rino.
Are you disappointed there is no “man” wearing red lipstick like AOC who steals luggage to get the ladies underwear, or one in an Admiral’s uniform and a skirt, but who looks like a truck driver among Trumps nominees?
Biden’s nominees were comical, like his VP!
Michael, you surprise me by having this cartoon backwards; the low bar is for the dimwitted Democrats, is anyone more tedious and slow that Whitehouse and Hirono, on the selection committees? Whomever selected them with their minor league intellects to be on the committees!! And how about the King of Kings, Lord of Lords, Most Shameless Liar of all, Schiff? Put the bar on the floor for Schiff.
(However, “The Near is End” cartoon was brilliant.)
Ramirez’s candidate lost, but he still has TDS. I hear that it is terminal. Great cartoonist, low in common sense.
Yes…Joe Biden lowered the bar, by nominating by RACE and gender only. Michael would know this if he weren’t attacking Trump all the time. Get a grip Mikey. Trump won. You lost. Don’t know why they call you a great comic. when you are so biased. They should get A.F. Branco if they want some good ones.
Why does a conservative-leaning website continue posting anti-Trump editorial cartoons when there are so many other cartoonists who don’t?
