Exit Strategies

After starting a war without a plan, the United States may be about to end it without one, while leaving Iran with more leverage that it had before it began now that it’s collecting tolls from ships passing through the Strait of Hormuz. The administration’s attempts to spin this as a victory aren’t landing with the MAGA crowd, who usually will eat whatever Trump serves them, but apparently even they have a limit and it’s $4+ gas.

Thousands of innocents killed, billions wasted, and turning the United States into a pariah state all because a sundowning pedophile got bored and thought some explosions would liven up his TV time. Now he’s bored again, and we all have to sit helplessly and wait for him to pick his next target. Unless you’re in Congress. There’s a lot of things you could be doing to put an end to this, but none of them read my comics.

Bored of Peace Games

Our dumb war with Iran is still going on for reasons that become even more unclear as the weeks drag on. Even the selfish dummies who voted this guy in are starting to turn on him because their SUV juice is getting expensive. Unfortunately for us, and the rest of the world, Congress is dumber than that and agreed to fund this disaster to avoid being accused of not “supporting the troops.”

There wasn’t an entrance strategy, so there’s no hope for an exit strategy. One fuck-up after another until even our allies have to rethink their grand plan to do nothing and wait for the guy to die. Which, to be fair, is also the Democrats’ plan.

Not much funny to say about any of this, so I drew some poops and made fun of Marco Rubio’s big-ass shoes. We all cope with the horrors of war in our own ways.

Stickers Shock

Trump’s adventure in Iran is predictably leading to soaring oil and gas prices, something that was very important for the media right up until Election Day in 2024. “I Did That!” stickers blaming Biden for inflation were all the rage, so I figured I’d take a shot at elevating the genre for this regime.

I might actually make these if there’s enough interest to cover production costs up front. But until then, I can tweak a few of the designs for My Threadless Shop, which needs some more designs to take advantage of the $13 t-shirt sale that’s currently going on. Let me know if there’s any you’d like to see!

Dumb War Weapons

We launched another preemptive war of aggression that’s going to kill a lot of people and ruin even more lives for decades to come. At least Congress, including 157 House Democrats, retroactively signed off on it, ensuring this boondoggle is adequately funded while the rest of our lives aren’t.

With Iraq, there was a pretense of manufacturing consent, and public opinion supported it until the fact that it was a stupid war of choice became too obvious to ignore. Besides Congress and the media, nobody wants this war with Iran, and since planning is for nerds, the consequences are already extremely unpopular.

We all just have to sit and watch, and hope the blowback doesn’t happen to us personally, since the ostensible opposition party’s plan is to wait for us to bail them out in the midterms. So much damage is going to happen between now and then. And it all might’ve been prevented if Biden and Merrick Garland released any of the freaky Epstein details that have been trickling out over the past year when they could’ve influenced an election.

Honest Pro-War Slogans

I’m in the midst of unpacking, setting up my office, and cleaning up the old apartment, so I was caught off guard to learn we were bombing Iran as soon as I got the wifi working. I knew it was a possibility, but was thinking one of those “Don’t sell a war until after Labor Day” deals that the Dubya administration made famous. Guess I was suffering from heat stroke to forget that this administration is even dumber than them.

All the usual idiots are in favor of this, even though polls already show how unpopular it is. But we live in an authoritarian pariah state, so public opinion is more of sanity check for those of us without access to any of the levers of power than anything actionable.

Mike Pompeo’s Pretext Rejects

Watching the same dopes in the media and politics who fell for the Iraq War runup do it again for this administration’s even more obvious warmongering is infuriating.

We instigated a coup and installed a monarchy in Iran when they democratically elected a dude who wouldn’t give us free oil forever. They (and no one) should take our word at face value.
