NEW COMIC TWO OR THREE TIMES A WEEK, OR WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

Trump has doddered his way around doing anything useful recently, with the closest he's come being scheduling a signing ceremony for the 21st Century Road to Housing Act and then cancelling it, deciding to tie it to his pet project, the SAVE America Act, a completely terrible bill placing a series of roadblocks in the way of voting in federal elections. This violates the Fifteenth Amendment as well as section 10 of the Voting Rights Act of 1965. People seem unclear on why the SAVE America Act would amount to instituting a poll tax, but I guess none of them realize there's a cost to getting any of the required forms of ID. Which is a poll tax if you need them to vote! Also, as it's consistently noted every time this comes up, as stated it attempts to solve a non-existent problem, which is non-citizens voting. Heck, we can't even get citizens to vote!

I was surprised, in researching this, to learn that the record holder for most deportations is Bill Clinton; Obama and Biden both beat Trump's first term by a decent margin. (Data doesn't seem to be out yet for Trump's second term.)

The other curious thing is seeing how the border seems to be this enormous problem while the graph is definitely trending downward. Interesting. I wonder why that is.
