We can only hope the people will rise up and remove Vlad.
At first Rivers was hitting Biden as weak, but because public opinion is so pro-Biden and anti-Putin Rivers had to switch his target.
Russia is not communist and Putin doesn’t want that part of the USSR back. He has stole far too much of the countries wealth for that. But he is sending untrained kids and uninformed military into Ukraine to fight.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes
The right wing can not help themselves. They are racists and they know how that label hurts themselves, so they want to assign that label to those they hate also. They want to turn people off from Planned Parenthood so they claim the organization is racist. Even thought it is a big help women of all colors and economic levels.
Sanger’s birth control movement did have support in black neighborhoods, beginning in the ’20s when there were leagues in Harlem started by African-Americans. Sanger also worked closely with NAACP founder W.E.B. DuBois on a “Negro Project,” which she viewed as a way to get safe contraception to African-Americans.
In 1946, Sanger wrote about the importance of giving “Negro” parents a choice in how many children they would have. “The Negro race has reached a place in its history when every possible effort should be made to have every Negro child count as a valuable contribution to the future of America,” she wrote. “Negro parents, like all parents, must create the next generation from strength, not from weakness; from health, not from despair.”
Her attitude toward African-Americans can certainly be viewed as paternalistic, but there is no evidence she subscribed to the more racist ideas of the time or that she coerced black women into using birth control. In fact, for her time, as the Washington Post noted, “she would likely be considered to have advanced views on race relations.”
Why does the right right wing think the president can only work on one thing at a time? The President has staff, a lot of staff. The president has a cabinet to work on things for them. The right seems to think the president does all the work himself, but the president has a team to get a lot done at the same time. So yes it is all on the front burner. And the US is not a low rated show.
Another example of ramirez playing fast and loose with the truth. the assailant was a right wing nutjob, not a democrat, and he was attacking the governor’s wife, too…

The state of the country is strong. The US bounced back from the destruction of the pandemic faster than any other country. We had the most vaccinated. We had the highest growth compared to the rest of the world. Our nation under the leadership of Joe Biden has brought the rest of the world together against Putin / Russia and applied the toughest sanction ever put against Russia for its aggression. Despite the right wing media trying to tear the country down, the borders are secure and the country is still a mass exporter of oil & gas just like we were a year ago. In fact the US has increased its oil exports. The right wing doesn’t like that fact, because it shows not only are we still oil independent but that the oil companies prefer to sell over seas to increase their profits rather than sell that oil domestically at a cheaper price. It is about the profit for the oil companies, not what is good for the US. This cartoon is just a bunch of lies and false statements designed to get praise from the cult who never bother to look up the facts, the numbers, the real situation but instead champions the misinformation and misdirection the wright wing media puts out to sway the base.

And now some for fun
Scottie's Playtime 
John Kerry is a highly decorated Vietnam Veteran who risked his life to save others and was injured in battle and also came home to speak out against an unjust war. He has more understanding of life, death, energy and, yes, fighting for freedom than CHICKEN HAWK Mike Ramirez who has never served.
John Kerry’s current position is to seek solutions to the climate crisis and, in that capacity, he has called for greater energy independence, including the user of electric vehicles.
This is an important issue, but it has little direct relevance to the Ukrainian war of self-defense against the aggression by Russia and its dictator who receives worshipful praise from Trump, Pompeo and Tucker Carlson.
Trying to tie the two together by someone like Michael Ramirez, who understands neither demonstrates the desperation and intellectual vapidity we are dealing with.
If Russia stops fighting, the war ends.
If Ukraine stops fighting, Ukraine ends.
Oil and gas are top products of both Russia and Ukraine, whose energy Russia covets.
Perhaps if we listened to John Kerry and plugged our electric vehicles into solar panels (as my wife and I do), we would disempower Putin and reduce the need to fight over energy which can be produced by sun, wind and other renewable sources.
