SUPPORT WTFA ON PATREON

Fisher: The program known as DACA that was disineffectuationalized under the Obama Administration is being rescinded. Raccoon: Beautiful DREAMers Awake unto us I.C.E. and brutality Are awaiting your bus Fisher: As the Attorney General, it is Jeff Sessions' duty to ensure that the laws of the United States are enforced. The Department of Justice cannot defend this type of overreach. Raccoon: Although it will happily mess with transgender rights, aid and abet police department misconduct, increase civil asset forfeiture, support Muslim travel bans... Fisher: Societies where the rule of law is subject to political whims and personal biases tend to become societies afflicted by corruption, poverty, and human suffering. Raccoon: Thanks for laying out your plans for the next four years.

NEW COMIC TUESDAYS AND FRIDAYS AND WHEN THE MOOD STRIKES

Trump, in his cowardly fashion, trotted out his Attack Orc Jeff Sessions to announce the end of the Obama-era Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals program, a very narrowly defined set of guidelines for being decent, in a very Executive Branch bureaucratic kind of way, to people who were brought here as undocumented child immigrants.

Over at Slate Mark Joseph Stern fisked Sessions' bullshit but to me the largest pile of steaming crap was that Sessions' Department of Justice is simply enforcing the law of the land in some even-handed, impartial manner, when this is obviously nonsense. He says he "cannot defend this type of overreach" but the wildly unconsitutional Muslim ban was great, cops should be able to steal more stuff from people who haven't even been convicted of anything, cops should be able to act with even more impunity than usual, he figures he can decide if a law applies to homosexuals or not...in short, Sessions is a racist authoritarian hypocrite. But we knew that, I guess.

By the way, anyone who knows their Looney Tunes will recognize the song "Beautiful Dreamer".
