Kamala Harris’s Roast of Donald Trump

I’ll admit that I didn’t expect Biden to decline the nomination and Democrats to quickly coalesce around Harris as the nominee. The enthusiasm surrounding this shakeup in the race is a welcome relief after a month of uncertainty about Biden’s ability to campaign effectively. I don’t think Biden’s senile or anything like that, but his blind support of Israel’s atrocities in Gaza have been an albatross around his neck preventing the majority of his base from actively supporting him financially or vocally, myself included.

When Harris was first endorsed, I mistakenly said on Bluesky that this would be my first time drawing her because she dropped out of the 2020 primaries so early. I did once in 2021 when the White House was still enforcing Title 42, and she told migrants not to come. Should she win, I hope her administration would change course and avoid the mistakes of Biden’s that have hamstrung the best domestic record of a presidency in my lifetime.

Make Your Own J.D. Vance Comic

A year of news happened since last week’s comic. I haven’t watched a minute of the Republican National Convention. Trump’s speaking as I type this. No thank you. Recaps and screenshots from folks who subjected themselves to it was enough for me.

Vance was announced as Trump’s VP pick on Monday, and it’s a choice that signals they’re not even trying to win votes that weren’t already in the bag. He’s a Christian nationalist and white supremacist, and anyone who was enthralled by his dumb book is a mark.

As for Saturday’s assassination attempt, you can’t be charged with incitement if you don’t say anything at all.

Trump’s Project 2025

I’ve been regularly drawing this asshole for almost a decade now. Every panel was torture to work on, as they were grim reminders of what I’ll be drawing for another decade if Democrats manage to flub another election against this easily-beatable bozo.

I honestly don’t know if the odds would improve if Biden steps down or not. It’s too late. This was a discussion to be had before he was President-elect. The DNC is almost upon us and there’s all sorts of legal hurdles to changing the ticket after that, especially now that “the law” is whatever six Republican operatives say it is.

The prospect of a second Trump term is frightening. In a normal world, the incumbent President would’ve had him arrested right after the inauguration. That didn’t happen, and now all of our summers are ruined by a sense of election dread.

It was a long weekend after a month’s worth of news happened on Monday and Tuesday. I went to the beach to look at some cool shells and eat seafood, but I shall return, barely refreshed to draw comics about whatever new horrors await us on the other side of the holiday weekend.

Have A Federalist Society Fourth!

The Supreme Court has a few more awful decisions to hand out before the holiday, but the one’s they’ve issued so far have ranged from awful to slightly less awful. You know the year’s going great when I’ve drawn Leonard Leo and the Federalist Society more than anybody in Congress. Remember that branch of government? I hope they’re having fun.

I watched the debate while finishing this. It was as bad as I was expecting, but that’s more of an illustration of how low my expectations were. Still over four months until the election, so I’m going to try to refrain from doing too many cartoons about it and spoil everyone’s summer.

Trump’s V.P. Shortlist

General election nonsense is beginning, and there’s allegedly a debate happening next week. Regular folks are doing summery things like vacations and sweating their butts off while drawing this comic in third floor apartments in Boston, Massachusetts. The media however, needs a horserace and “Veepstakes” gives them something to talk about besides “Trump still sucks.” and Biden still slightly older than Trump.”

It doesn’t matter who Trump’s Vice President is more than the legion of flunkies who’ll be put in charge of their terrifying agenda. John Oliver had a good summary of it, that’s better than me typing all about it.

2024’s Climate Records

We’re about to have a heat wave here in the Northeast, which will be minor compared to the heat waves happening elsewhere around the globe so far this summer. Ocean temps are already shattering records held since … last year, and hurricane season is only officially two weeks old.

Locally, ocean temps are still too chilly for people who didn’t grow up in New England (AKA my spouse), but the swimming season here is already a month longer than when I was a kid forty years ago.

Private Equity Acquires Your Family

This entry was posted in comics on by
Read the comic on Patreon.

Private equity, vulture capital, enshittification, whatever you want to call it, has been hollowing out vast swathes of the country, from brands like Red Lobster and Boeing, to entire hospital groups.

Leveraged buyouts are somehow a legal version of what the mob does in pretty much every Scorsese movie about them: Acquire something, strip it for parts, then throw a decadent party montage set to the Rolling Stones. They should be illegal, but along with everything else, the good ol’ days of the regulatory state are long behind us.
