“Power was not challenged in any meaningful way. The status quo wasn’t disrupted in the slightest. People held up some signs saying the president is orange and that if Kamala were president they would be at brunch, and then went home.

The whole thing was just one big pep rally for the Democratic Party, designed to accomplish nothing beyond getting American liberals excited about the prospect of someday voting for Gavin Newsom…”

For real, Ms. J. I almost feel personally insulted every time these flyers hit the streets in my neighborhood for their goddamn fake-ass astroturf “movement” which seems to roll into town at least once per quarter, as if trying to make a fundraising goal. My first thought was “Christ, weren’t these assholes just in town this summer?” – and we’ve got a whole fresh load of astroturf being rolled out next week, and we haven’t even had a chance to wash the stink off the Mall from the last “No Kings” flag-kissing festival.

Hell, there’s a whole freakin’ raft of these phony-ass outfits that have suddenly sprung up like mushrooms after a summer downpour bouncing around now, and they’re all fronting for the DNC – No Kings, FiftyFiftyOne, local clowns like the Free DC Project – and obstructing real revolutionary change.

LOOK THE HELL OUT for these time wasters.

Yeah, that’s right — a wannabe Mussolini has just bullied his way into the White House and is terrorizing the country, his Seig-Heiling rocket-powered dildo-building buddy has basically stolen the keys to the Treasury and is getting ready to loot the place, and the Democratic Party… has no coherent message.

No coherent message. Like, not even “fuck you”. Like, they got nothing.
Nothing.

It is with anxiety, chagrin and dread that I present this, my first cartoon of the 2024 Presidential “election” slog…

…and despite the massive disappointment and lack of enthusiasm of huge swaths of Democratic voters, Gropin’ Joe announced his re-election campaign kickoff with a promise to “finish the job”… at which point yours truly, like millions of others, is cringing and asking themselves: what job would THAT be — immiserating the poor and the working class? Terrorizing immigrants and bullying our next-door neighbors? Fattening up the war profiteers and Wall Street? Beating down anti-war dissent in public media? Dragging us into World War III?

Lotta big jobs to finish there, Joester; guess you’re going to need four more years to thoroughly fuck shit up, huh?

While I continue getting over surgery and tryna’ get back into a drawing groove, n’shit… let’s flash back to another war that Liberals of both parties lied, blustered and bullied their asses off to drag us into… originally did this for an immediate post-election protest response in DC; it got blasted all over, but I never actually did a blog post, except for this sloppy-ass blurb on my old static html site… so, here it is. Let’s climb aboard the TARDIS, kiddies, and set the dial for the turn of the century:
—————

After one too many mornings of watching Kerry and Bush piss-fighting over Kerry’s war record, I was begging, desperately:
Somebody, Anybody – STOP THE TORTURE of American Voters!

So, I wake up one early morning recently; as usual, my wife’s already awake and has NBC’s “Today” jabbering on the TV. In the thinning fog of my fading REM state I hear candidate John “Lurch” Kerry being interviewed, and he’s telling us how he plans to continue to uphold the corporate/military agenda, after which a Bush campaign ad denounces Lurch for being “too leftist”. I think: jeezus, it’s too damn’ early for this shit. Lurch says he’ll keep doing what the Chimp started, and the Chimp accuses Lurch of being too leftist, it’s only 7:15am, and my brain is already hurting.

Somebody, stop this torture. Somebody make it stop. Somebody, make…it…sto-oopppppp!
