Everyone knows that Joe Biden is probably too old to be president. However, Democrats pointed out that he would have Kamala Harris to step in and spot him if he ever falls down on the job. Would you get on a plane with Joe Biden as a pilot?

Democrat supporters project onto Biden what they want and that does not include ‘old and senile’. To them Trump is ‘old and senile’ but certainly not Biden. He is as sharp as a whistle in their imagination and anyone daring to criticise him for being a bit past it has simply been watching far too much Fox News.
Therefore the whole premise of this cartoon is a non-starter. The Biden supporter imagine Biden to be smart enough to think exactly like how they do when it comes to C19, international wars of aggression, giving a bit more money to the deserving working class families that have had to struggle under Trump and not building that wall.
Only if he were flying a Boeing 737 Max….

Get on a plane? I was dragged kicking and screaming against my will onto this plane.
What a memory you have, Alex !… 😉

Better than, um, Biden’s.
Don’t worry, though. All sorts of people’s memories will begin to fail. The worse Biden turns out to be, the more people will forget how many promises he isn’t living up to. I suspect that on day 200 or so of the Biden preznitcy, when people are homeless by the hundreds of thousands, going broke from undischargable student loans, and have no healthcare, no one will remember that Biden said he was going to fix things, that he was going to work for all Americans, that he cornflakes the boulderpoo up the waterfall spider leg end of Zelda.
Should sweet Kamala become POTUS, even sweeter Pelosi would automatically become VP.
What do you think are the odds of a long senile Joe’s presidency?
I don’t think it’s true that Nancy Pelosi automatically becomes Vice President after Biden dies. When Agnew resigned, Nixon appointed Ford, who was confirmed by the House of Representatives. Pending confirmation, there simply is not a vice president. Although I don’t know what happens in the event of a tie in the Senate.
