Is it only me, as I find this to be in bad taste considering the RW’s aimless kerfuffle over another U.S. President bowing to the Japanese Emperor and this one being just a child during WW11. It might be intended to be funny but just ends up looking like more RW propaganda fuel in the end. If this was to be fair, we need a doll depicting Georgie with a bright red face while choking on a pretzel.
Sorry for my vent, I find this sort thing distasteful to say the least and if intended for kids, a waste of time because they will fail to see the intent whatever it was meant to be.
Kalima, I understand where you’re coming from. And needless to say, I wouldn’t consider buying this for a child.
I guess what struck me about it was the implied contradiction of presenting possibly the most civilized guy on the planet in such an absurdly aggressive pose, wearing business casual, no less :o)! It’s kind of like an image of Mr. Rogers with a machine gun (to stretch a point). It’s inherent absurdity makes it kinda funny.
Wow the prez with a katana striking a pose like he’s going to remove the head of his vanquished opponent so he can bring it back as proof of victory to his warlord. I just watched a whole documentary on samurais.

Wish Odoll had a jar of dijon in one hand and a bunch of arugula in the other. A man ready with a dinner’s ingredients after putting in a hard day’s work in the oval office, is something desirous in my world.
Also wished it had his cool red tie which laughed in the face of the GOP back in the day.
Don’t forget, she was called FrankenBarbie awhile back.
Hey mom, I said hi to you in the netherworld today. Not sure you knew it was me. I am the QueenoftheDamned in the underworld.

Hey HITO, I thought that was you, how’s it going. That HP article started to get really nasty trolls so I left soon after…FrankenBarbie is a good name for the monster that she is!
This weekend's music thread is for songs about the real America, songs about the country and its cities, staying strong and principled and songs reflecting the values and democracy that America really stands for.
Imagine where we could have been right now. A hostage siege still underway in the Capitol. Trump praising them as patriots while emptily claiming to oppose violence. The Vice President of the US and/or Democratic congresspeople tied up and possibly much worse. And while all decent Americans would be in shock and disbelief at what they were seeing, the entire world including America's most dangerous enemies, would be watching and considering how to respond as they witnessed the United States helpless, threatened and demeaned.
To celebrate and share the hope of 2021 being a turnaround year for all of us, this weekend's music thread is about things that are new, hopeful, joyful and just make you feel good about being alive.
We vehemently bid goodbye to this nightmare of a year, the quarantines, empty shelves of toilet paper, nurses forced to wear garbage bags, and ignorant white people declaring in public places that wearing a mask and sanity is oppression. So, to review the year that never should have been, we offer a selection of graphics that have appeared on PlanetPOV during 2020, in chronological order.
I like President Obama dueling Dick Cheney.
Priceless.
