I can't make it smaller.
I think the creator of the cartoon is slamming Biden for not visiting the border.
However, it seems to me that all those concerns swirling around JB's head are the reasons he is not going to the border.......or does the cartoon mean he is just eating ice cream instead of handling all the concerns on the border?
What is your takeaway for the meaning?

I take it to mean he is too busy eating his ice cream instead of visiting the border. |

Pretty sure it's slamming him.
If you can tell who the artist is, that'll give you an idea of their leanings.

Definitely slamming him for not visiting the border. All of the issues swirling around his head are issues that are related to border security.
Not saying that I agree with the cartoon, but that's clearly the cartoonist's intent.

We've heard from our Republican friends that the most important thing now is the economy. He's solving part of the problem. I can see how his message comes across like the border doesn't matter, but would him visiting be more than a photo op? I feel like all previous Presidents visit the border and I am not sure there have been many improvements with those visits.

If he visited the border, they’d mock him and call it a photo op.
He has not visited the border, so they claim he’s ignoring the problem.
He can’t win with these morons, so instead he’s doing the exact right thing … ignoring them and plowing ahead with his (and the majority’s) priorities.

I realize that it is supposed to show a president cares, but when disasters strike (hurricane/tornado/fire) the media expects the POTUS to show and walk around. I have always thought that the visit by the POTUS just slows things down because of the security that has to happen for the visit.
In this case, I agree with a couple of Peas who said, "What will a visit accomplish?"

It’s definitely a criticism. Republicans aren’t actually concerned about the border. It’s just an easy point of criticism that they aren’t actually interested in doing anything about. It why their policy proposals are limited to build a wall and don’t let anyone in

This is a headline on a fox story:
Biden says ‘more important things’ than border visit, despite 59 trips to Delaware, 8 stops for ice cream
Yup it is a slam. I am another that is not sure what it would do for him to visit. But I also would have no issues if he did visit the border as President’s do with other places where there are issues to be resolved.

it is so stupid. visiting the border will not cure the ills there.. legislation in dc may make a difference. Which will never get thru the new house now. As much as the GOP blathers on about the border, they do not have any solutions that aren’t from the dark ages. Wall, wall, wall, it’s all they talk about. But it’s costly and ineffective there are sections of the border that already have walls that are already breached but there isn’t enough manpower to get someone there to deal with the breaches. There was money for more border personnel & new technology in the infrastructure bill but it was taken out in order to reach an agreement. The GOP doesn’t want immigration reform or better border practices, if that was improved then what will they then use to foment fear? Their favorite way to win over voters is fear mongering. If they fix the stuff they complain about how will they fear monger for Re-election? The cartoon is fear mongering. As well as poking fun that Biden is supposedly incompetent. Not as incompetent as the last guy, the bar is so low right now. Also, for some reason, the ice cream is the new flip flops. It’s the right wing attempt to make him look incompetent and or lazy, as if only lazy people with nothing to do can consume ice cream or that people with dementia somehow sit around & eat ice cream? Or is it like when men belittle mothers for being home & eating icecream or bon bons? what ever their point is I don’t get it. I think trying to demonize ice cream is a tough chore. Although, Joe, having seen what happened to Obama, didn't go to the ice cream shop in unacceptable footwear so, imo it shows that he is aware and cognizant which is not the point they wanted to make. Long story short- they have nothing so they picking at flip flops & tan suits. |

The only thing Republicans seem to accomplish these days is criticism of the Biden administration. Before the election, lots of blathering on about gas prices, inflation and the 'border crisis". Post-election, gas prices are down. Have the Republicans acknowledged that? Nope. Will the Republicans do something about inflation or the border crisis in January when they have control of the House? Nope. Expect endless investigations into Hunter Biden, the Jan 6 committee, Homeland Security, the Justice Department & Merrick Garland, the FBI and Dr Fauci. All of the investigations are intended to create sound bytes for Fox, blunt the findings of the Jan 6 committee, downplay and whitewash the insurrection, maybe attempt to protect Trump and hurt the Democrats in 2024. The Republicans have no plans to do nothing to actually help Americans.
