Pace yourself, Ted. Biden isn’t President until January. You have four years to criticize him. Maybe you could do some comics about potential concession speeches for Il Douche, because you know he’s going to need a LOT of help with that!
Ah, the Bernie Bros for Trump are weeping bitter tears for not getting their vengeance against the Democratic Party for not picking an outsider as a candidate.
Ageism [also spelled agism] is stereotyping and/or discrimination against individuals or groups on the basis of their age. This may be casual or systematic discrimination against seniors, and patterned on sexism and racism.
Obviously, Mr. Rall is convinced that Joe Biden, Donald Trump, and Barack Obama are horrible people, deserving of any and all of the bigoted discrimination, scorn & ridicule he can dish out.
All human beings are deeply flawed [yes — we are all a hot mess of contradictions and moral failings], and Rall’s negative assessments can be justified in the context of all human beings suck.
Obama, Trump, and Biden have all faithfully represented the views of their supporters. Mr. Rall, with cause, just hates the average American. I suspect the feeling is mutual.
Naps are important. More so for people with tough, stressful jobs, and people who are getting older, partly because older folks cannot sleep so well, so long as younger ones. I get that we don’t want to think of our next president as getting older, but face facts: He NEEDS his naps. And I’m all in favor of whatever he needs to stay rational, sane, empathetic, helpful…
It’s a political cartoonist’s job to provoke controversy. It’s the readers’ ‘job’ to respond thoughtfully. Someone’s not doing their job. I didn’t and wouldn’t vote for Banker Joe. I voted against the Orange Buffoon.
@mattro65 – ‘Bernie Sanders is older than Joe Biden – how can my man Ted be hacking on Joe for being old?’ was my first thought. After thinkin’ some more, I figured that pointing out the pure hypocrisy of the thing would amount to argumentum ad hominem, a worthless gesture.
I look forward to Ted’s critique of specific Biden policies. This ’toon is just trash – far below standard. I suppose we all have our trollish days.
Well, Rall, I have known and worked with a couple of Nobel Laureate physicsits when they were in their 80s and 90s. An afternoon nap? A great idea! Best restorative ever.
Biden is doing more preparation in the few days he has won than the Rump did in the 4 years he ran. But you go ahead Ted and play that old “sleepy Joe” label that the Rump created.
Is there any evidence to base this on? Why do people think that Joe Biden is physically unhealthy? For that matter, Biden has always been prone to gaffes here and there. Why would someone think that he is mentally unhealthy?
There was a period in the past, Ted, when I looked forward to your ‘toons as being thought-provoking. Now they’re just provoking. Where’s the incisive outlook in trash like this?
Theodore, Biden actually jogged to the podium for his victory speech. He also gets regular exercise, unlike your secret hero Trump, whose famous “stam-in-a” is fueled by crushed adderall and pseudoephedrine.

This “Sleepy Joe” trope is so tiresome. Time for you Always-Trumpers to retire it.

Pretty low hanging fruit here Ted. Of all Biden’s problems, you pick his age to heckle?
In the special education community we write profiles to assist the disabled be successful.
Can Biden’s age be considered a disability? Yeah, probably. I know I’m not much younger than he is, and I’m feeling it.
But is his disability manageable? Can he function with modifications? Can he get the job done?
That is up to his staff and how well they support him.
Trump had poor support, and it showed. His staff was terrible, and that made him a terrible president. That and he’s a terrible person.
Biden should do better. We’ll see.

Waiting for one of Ted’s Mom strips to see the reactions. No doubt, much more positive than Ted puts out.
