Times of London publishes brutal cartoon mocking Joe Biden, while ‘Bring Trump Back’ hashtag soars
By: Jon Dougherty
The Times gets it right. Biden is a demented disaster. A total tool of America’s enemies. It is time to bring Trump back.

A noted British newspaper, the Times of London, published a highly provocative political cartoon lampooning the leaders of the G7 countries, while showing Biden kneeling with his hands bound behind him flanked by a pair of armed Taliban fighters.
Today’s @thetimes cartoon https:// thetimes.co.uk/article/morten -morland-times-cartoon-august-25-2021-6dbs53hg3 …
President Joe Biden was alternately mocked, ridiculed, and criticized for a “defining” photo of him that went viral taken during a press conference Thursday following a deadly, coordinated attack against U.S. forces at the international airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, killing 10 Marines, two Army soldiers, and a Navy corpsman while wounding more than a dozen other troops.
During his presser, which got underway 25 minutes late Thursday afternoon, Biden blamed a splinter faction of the Taliban, ISIS-K, for the attacks and vowed to hunt them down “at a time of our choosing.”
Following his remarks, which included a moment of silence for the fallen service members, Biden immediately raised eyebrows by saying he would refer to a list of reporters he was “instructed” to call on.
But it was the final round of questioning Biden took from Fox News’ Peter Doocy that led to the now-iconic — and some say tragically revealing — photo.
As Doocy pressed Biden for details about the attack and whether he believes he bears responsibility for it, the president, looking exasperated, bowed his head for several seconds at the podium as the Fox News White House correspondent finished his questioning.
“I bear responsibility for fundamentally all that’s happened of late,” Biden stammered before referencing former President Donald Trump again to suggest the pullout deal he made with the Taliban in February 2020 bore on Thursday’s attacks, which resulted in the first U.S. casualties from combat actions in the country in 18 months.
“You know as well as I do that a former president made a deal with the Taliban that he would get all American forces out of Afghanistan by May 1,” Biden added.
Users took to social media to rail at Biden and his administration for the disastrous pullout from Afghanistan, generally, and the attacks on Thursday.
(Images: Twitter)“America’s heart is breaking, its fists are clinched and its eyes are streaming with tears of blind fury,” wrote country music star John Rich. “I haven’t felt this way since 911. To all our troops and veterans, we love and respect you and we are sorry for the disgrace you are being subjected to. #GodSaveAmerica.”
Added James Golden, a.k.a. Bo Snerdley, the late Rush Limbaugh’s longtime producer: “What is happening in Afghanistan is an unmitigated disaster that keeps getting worse by the day. Right now – it is difficult to see daylight at the end of the tunnel because after American troops are totally withdrawn it will still get worse.”
“ These are not the times for a teleprompter presidency. Going forward America needs a leader, and Joe Biden is not that person. #BidenMustGo,” actor James Woods noted.

As Biden increasingly came under fire, the hashtag #BringTrumpBack began to trend as well, with one user posting a video clip of then-President Trump explaining, during a speech in August 2017, that a rapid pullout from Afghanistan would create a “vacuum” that would be filled by ISIS.
#BringTrumpBack President Trump in 2017: "A hasty withdrawal would create a vacuum that terrorists including ISIS and Al-Qaeda would instantly fill."
“ The only way to fix this crisis is to #BringTrumpBack,” tweeted Brigitte Gabriel, a terrorism survivor and Act For American founder.

Morning. To be honest with the confusion and rush to get people on planes my main concern was a bomber would get on board and blow it out of the sky.
The writing has been on the wall for months that once the allies started leaving there would be mass panic.
I think most people in the West had a good idea, even after 20 years Afghanistan will never ever get out of the dark ages...no matter how much money or man power went in there. And the Taliban are more than happy to bide their time for as long as it takes.
As for the Brits sniping at the US they don't have far to look..their Irish situation is far from over and that has been and still is a noose around their necks.
Deepest respect and sympathy for the US marines lost... Doing a fantastic job in the most desperate and trying situations.
Thank you shona1
I was just marveling at the "peace walls" in Belfast and wondering what we have become...
Yes you have to wonder about humanity at times.. sometimes I think we are a lost cause..
Sorry...you have to be kidding. The vast majourity of Aussies are all for it..hell we don't want 650,000 dead...see that is the difference between us and you mob...We do it for the common good and think nothing of it.
Military...they are unarmed and backing up the cops...they are checking names and addresses and directing traffic..
Who is gagging Sky News?? I don't watch it...would rather watch paint dry..
So you are now against the Southern border wall?
Good to know.
Anoon xx..some people need to get a grip.. They know the rules but for some reason they don't think it applies to them.. NSW is getting a thousand infections a day and they like I am in Victoria are in lock down...
That means you stay home other than for five reasons..now they can act dumb which for some is not to hard.. they have been told so they now cop the consequences...if I had my way I would tazer them.
The manhunt was for a guy who was knowingly infected refused to isolate and was wandering around in the community for days...selfish bastard that he is.
Now loss of rights and freedoms...yes it is curtailed at the moment and we accept that..as always there is the feral element and if they insist on stuffing it up for everyone else then tough for the little dears..
Many of these protestors are from other movements and decided to create havoc..so pleased their families are dobbing them in to the cops so they can be charged.
You do realise only two States have restrictions on movement and are in lockdown? The rest of the country is without any restrictions at all..and yes they have closed their borders to us. As we have done when they had an out break.
At the end of the day xx it is what it is for now..yes it is inconvenient and a pain in the arse. But we will do anything to save our fellow Aussies.
So this Carlson guy does not even live here??.what a drop kick...the anti vaxers and ferals would love him..He needs to get a life and pull his head in.
That one case in NZ he was in hysterics over...it is now 429..hence their lockdown which is even stricter than ours.
What you need to remember we have a complete and different mind set to you mob...I and the majourity prefer our way over yours and that is all that matters.
Your death toll speaks volumes and to us is inexcusable, horrendous and totally abhorrent. And is always used as an example here, of not what to become or follow...
Sometimes I'm embarrassed for you.
See that is the other thing over there. Never seen a country so obsessed with politics to the detriment of it and its people...
Red and Blue, left and right..you mob are so busy tearing each other apart and blaming each other while your fellow citizens are dropping like flies.
If all that crap was put aside, you pulled together for the sake of the country and got on with it, things could have been so much different. As for each State doing something different..geez.
We saw the US at her best after 9/11 but when you needed it most now, for some reason it was gone...and that is truly sad...for all the lost souls and their families... devastating.
Yes we slammed our borders shut way before you and pretty well everyone else. Got bagged out for it and still are...We just let our numbers of lost souls speak for themselves. We are losing a few at the moment each day and for us it is truly heart breaking..
So if this Carlson wants to bag us out for what we are doing, well good luck to him..Must have been a slow news day over there
All he needs to do is look in his own backyard and see 650,000 souls are missing... speaks for itself I think..
Evening...Does not matter who is in or who is out to the one's already lost...I have absolutely no interest in Trump or Biden, what they did or didn't do..all I see are the numbers who no longer walk this earth.
It's my guess that Trump KNEW that what is happening now would have happened if he had pulled the military out when HE was POTUS, after all, he didn't want people to panic. (Where have I heard that before? Could it have been on Bob Woodward's tape of Trump's interview) Seems to me Trump realized that his mismanagement led to more than 600,000 dead Americans, so maybe he didn't want to get a similar result again - better to pass that responsibility to Biden in order to screw him.
Right, more rampant TDS drivel. Maybe you forgot how the US works? Trump might have control at the federal level; but governors and mayors had control at the state level. Trump never told the might mental midget governors on the east coast, PA, and MI to put people that tested positive into retirement and nursing homes exploding the death rate from Covid 19 among the most vulnerable. Want to talk about downplaying the severity of Covid? Remember the Democrats going out in public all across the US in order to prove that Covid 19 was nothing to fear after Trump put a travel ban in place from China and parts of Europe?
Also, Biden is responsible for the new Covid surge throughout the US; and every last death form Covid that occurs under his watch. So stop trying to blame Trump for every last Covid death.
Biden won the election. The responsibility in Afghanistan fell to him. What is the one EO/EA of Trump's Biden didn't destroy? It was the deal with the Taliban. Why is that? If it was truly a bad deal Biden could have renegotiated it. He could have shut it down and gone back in to Afghanistan to fight the Taliban, Al Qaeda, ISIS/ISIL. and ISIS-K. Instead Biden did nothing but unilaterally declare a new withdrawal deadline of 8/31.
It was Biden's decision to allow all of the US ground forces to be withdrawn from Afghanistan before all US civilians and those that aided us were all out. No one held a gun to Biden's head 6 weeks ago when he declared that "The Afghan army could last two or three years more. They could hold off the Taliban completely. There is nothing indicating that the Afghan government will fall." If he would have said "Get out now, it is time to leave" maybe things wouldn't be as dire as they are now.
The Biden apologists are getting sickening. "But Trruuummmmppppp!!!!!" doesn't mean anything anymore.
And the Trump apologists are even worse. If the acronym BDS wasn't already used to describe antisemitic Israel-bashers, it could have had another application. By the way, I'm not particularly happy with Biden as POTUS either for more than one reason.
Yes, I agree that America's form of democracy where State rights outrank federal ones does make it difficult to have a united battle against a national disastrous threat to the health and life of America's residents. Too bad, eh? It certainly is one of the reasons for the more than 600,000 deaths, the vast majority of which occurred before January 20th.
