\n I present for you now, ladies’n’gents, my very first cartoon of the 2024 Presidential campaign \u2014 and leave all hope behind…<\/strong><\/p>\n

Human remains were reportedly found in the landing gear<\/strong> of a US military plane after it departed Kabul airport, with harrowing unverified footage purporting to show a person trapped on the plane\u2019s exterior as it took off…<\/span><\/em><\/p>\n

I wish I’d jumped on it and downloaded a copy of the video as soon as I saw it \u2014 barely 7 months in, and we already have a disgustingly apt visual metaphor for the entirety of the Biden Years.<\/p>\n

This is your future,<\/a> working-class America.<\/p>\n
