Republican Budget Games

Fascism now has a congressionally approved budget and the Supreme Court’s seal of approval. Happy 4th of July anyway. Jefferson and Adams both died on that date and maybe it’ll happen again.

This budget is a horror show and gives ICE enough funding to send a whole team in ill-fitting tactical gear to rendition me for depicting them as a Kirby-pig. They’re already building the camps and anyone who thinks you’re being hyperbolic for saying this is a blissful idiot. I’m honestly jealous of their ignorance. Knowing the horrors that are coming doesn’t feel great, man.

I’m old and had an NES during my formative years, then moved over to the Sega Genesis instead of the SNES. I had the N64 and Gamecube in college, but references run dry once I moved over to the Playstation.

ICE-Mart

A few years ago, I did a comic called Police-Mart. Now that ICE and the rest of the DHS goon squads are sporting new January 6th-inspired uniforms, I figured it would be a good time to revisit the bit for their new unaccountable and sloppy looks.

Masked goons have been snatching people off the street to meet Stephen Miller’s quotas, and it’s not just happening in red states and rural areas. Many safely blue governors and mayors are not only ignoring it, they’re actively helping to appear “tough on immigration.”

I drew Gavin Newsom because he’s the slimiest and most well-known of these Democratic governors, but I could’ve included Massachusetts’ own Governor Healey, who’s been waiting on “more details” even as her constituents have been targeted since inauguration day.

White House Approved Programming

Paramount needs federal approval for a merger, so they’re bending over backwards to appease the administration (it won’t work, they’ll just demand more obedience) by neutering CBS’s autonomy in its news coverage. Other corporate media giants have done the same to pre-emptively appease an administration that barely squeaked out a win and is already underwater in every conceivable poll.

That might work for some industries, but the media requires appealing to audiences bigger than one demented individual in the White House.

Schmaltzmark Channel Holiday Specials

The late Thanksgiving has made this holiday season shorter than usual (if you’re not a freak who puts the tree up the day after Halloween), so here are some holiday goofs before I have to really start thinking about next year.

I’ve never watched one of the Hallmark Channel’s Christmas schlockfests, but Netflix put out something called Hot Frosty where a sexy snow sculpture comes to life (?) and I figure I should practice writing that kind of stuff for when editorial cartoonists make it to the next FBI director’s most wanted list.

Now to enjoy one sip of the eggnog I bought then immediately remember why it’s not a regular staple in our fridge.

Here’s my counter to the annual “How to talk to your MAGA relatives at Thanksgiving” articles, which never seem to be written the other way. Sure, it’s petty, but since they’re immune to reason, maybe a little food poisoning will do the trick.

I’m fortunate to not have to spend the holiday with these awful people. If you have to, I hope the food, booze, and/or drugs makes next week somewhat tolerable.

Republicans’ Manual for Acting Normal

“Republicans are weird.” has gone mainstream after Kamala Harris bluntly stated this obvious fact. Previously, you’d only hear it in alt-weeklies, late night jokes, and all over social media because the mainstream media was too busy doing both-sides coverage to notice how divorced from reality Republican politicians have truly become.

Republicans are struggling to refute this simple line of attack because it is true. Their policies, demeanors, and general vibe are just plain weird. The RNC was a freak show celebrating it before it became a liability! Their attempts to point out Democratic weirdness so far have been focused on quirky individuals who are weird in the cool sense and have neither the desire nor power to impose their weirdness on others.

There are still three months before the election, which is a lot of time, but not long enough for these weirdos to stop being creeps.

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.

More fiduciary fun this week. Funds for COVID mitigation measures are being held up in the Senate by Republicans and the usual Democratic suspects to keep Title 42. It was written by Stephen Miller using COVID as a pretext to unilaterally deport anyone seeking asylum from a country where COVID’s run rampant with nary a mitigation measure, like the United States right now, for one example.
