What The Fuck, America?

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

So the Big Beautiful Bill passed and somehow the Democrats couldn't even meaningfully slow it down, only managing to get the name changed, which is more than meaningless since no one is going to call it anything else. If there's anything the Dems are truly dismal at, it's branding. I'd say "tucked away inside the bill" except everything is tucked away inside this bill, since it's approximately the size of the Oxford English Dictionary and no one on earth has read the whole thing, but anyway, somewhere in the morass the Republicans decided to give ICE more money than the fucking Marines -- in fact more money than all but the top fifteen militaries in the world. Given that the US already spends far and away more on its military than just about everybody else combined, and that the Trump regime is deploying some of that military to back up ICE, this is HUGE AND BAD.

And one of the things definitely for sure no way being funded by this is this detention center in the middle of the Florida Everglades, which the cruel assholes are calling Alligator Alcatraz but which is definitely more like Alligator Auschwitz. I'd say this is not who we are but that'd be blind to history. This is definitely who we are. I guess I'd just hoped this was who we were and that we'd improved.
