Flugennock's Latest'n'Greatest: "This Is Your Captain Speaking..."

I can't keep up with DC's anarchist cartoonist, Mike Flugennock -


"This Is Your Captain Speaking..."
http://sinkers.org/stage/?p=3290

I present for you now, ladies'n'gents, my very first cartoon of the 
2024 Presidential campaign — and leave all hope behind...

      "Human remains were reportedly found in the landing gear of a US military plane after it departed Kabul airport, with harrowing unverified 
footage purporting to show a person trapped on the plane's exterior as it took off...

       ...In footage too graphic to publish, presumably filmed through 
a window by a passenger on board the plane, the person was seen trapped 
outside the craft in mid-flight, though it is unclear exactly when the video was 
captured or how long after the C-17 took off."

                                  — RT.com, 08.17.2021


...and the tweet in question has since been pulled for "violating the 
Twitter rules" — though, luckily, that evil, terrible old 
Russian-controlled media nabbed us a frame or two. I wish I'd jumped 
on it and downloaded a copy of the video as soon as I saw it — barely 
7 months in, and we already have a disgustingly apt visual metaphor 
for the entirety of the Biden Years.

This is your future, working-class America.
