Future Supreme Court Decrees

Read the comic on Patreon.

All three branches of government are rubber-stamping a demented pedophile’s whims. The Supreme Court has gone out of its way with the shadow docket to overrule lower courts who have been the only check on this year’s rapid descent into fascism.

They intend to rule over us from their gaudy temple in their silly robes, free of consequences, while the public is expected to just be civil as they go about the demolition of the last century of progress. I don’t have any solutions that don’t count as incitement, so I’ll stop typing now.

Spring Reads

There are still residents, including citizens, getting exiled (deported ain’t the right word), but Hakeem Jeffries and Democratic leadership have decided that members of Congress visiting them in gulags to highlight their plight is a distraction from the important work of their latest stunt. Impeachment and obstruction are also considered “distractions” so the Democrats’ message is clear: We’re on our own, until the fundraising texts begin again.

David Zaslav makes $50+ million a year to make decisions that everyone knows are dumber than dogshit. Dude is very lucky Luigi Mangione wasn’t a superfan of any of the shows he abruptly cancelled.

AG Sulzberger recently published some self-indulgent op-ed about preserving democracy and press freedoms that are under attack, presumably while wearing Tim Robinson’s hot dog outfit from I Think You Should Leave. This “Just-Asking-Questions” nepo-baby’s paper recently did a glow-up profile of Curtis “Moldbug” Yarvin, an internet forum crank and white supremacist from the early aughts who has somehow captured the imaginations of the racist dullards who are ruining everything.

I’d recommend an actual good book here, but I’ve been self-soothing by reading the dumbest pulp sci-fi books on my nightstand lately. So unless you’re a teen reading this in the late ’60s or ’70s I don’t think they’d be your thing.

Camp Corruption

Another session of the Federalist Society’s judicial junta struck down affirmative action, the racial equality kind, at least. Rich legacy white failsons are still able to get admitted.

I’m not sure how many years of being screamed at to “VOTE!” I can take when these fascists strike down anything nerds like Leonard Leo and his billionaire donors don’t like. The courts have to be packed before it’s too late, if it’s not already.

The Monster Fash

The Criterion Channel launched some great Halloween collections this week, the same week the Supreme Court began a new session. So I’ve been enjoying the escapism from real horrors with fictional ones.

Until the court’s expanded, or ignoring their unenforceable rulings becomes commonplace, these six freaks are going to do a lot of damage. (Unless two of them croak while a Democrat is President, before they say that’s unconstitutional.)

There are many, and far superior Halloween novelty songs than the Monster Mash, but it’s hard to top Werewolf Bar Mitzvah and Monster Fuck.

Forever Stamping Out Democracy

There was an unveiling ceremony for a new Nancy Reagan stamp at the White House this week. Combined with Biden’s claims of McConnell and other Republicans being reasonable, I’m not too confident that tonight’s insurrection hearing will have much effect on stopping our slide into fascism.

Happy to be wrong, though!

Georgia’s Voting Wrongs Act

Kemp’s getting the spotlight, but Republican governors and legislatures are pulling this stuff across the country. End the filibuster and pass the “For the People Act” before it’s too late.

John Roberts’ Voter Suppression Innovations

Congress could restore the Voting Rights Act if the Senate and White House are flipped. To make that happen, register everyone to vote and help them jump through all the hoops Republicans will put in their way.

GOP Jury Duty

Mitch’s shady late night impeachment shenanigans should clue people in to the G.O.P.’s project to undermine democracy, but if the last twenty years haven’t, I don’t know what will.

I thought nothing could be worse than drawing Ted Cruz during the 2016 primaries, but then he went and grew a teenager’s graying patchy beard.
