S’truth. I thought George W was a foot in his mouth spoken fiasco, and Dick Cheney was just shifty. And then came DJT.

the relative calm before the storm of the last ten days

Don’t jinx it.

The honeymoon will soon be over. Joe’s ‘death watch’ is over, Harris is all but official, Soon the media will turn back to tRump who knows how to fill a news hour. tRump’s backers are prepared to pull out all the stops and cheat to steal this election by any means to make democracy no more. Then we will see just how tough Harris and the Democrats are.

Don’t ever say that!

“Well it’s true, these guys are just weird. They’re running for He-Man Woman Hater’s Club or something.” – Governor Tim Walz

I was going to say the House leaving on recess without getting anything done but waste time, but then I realized that’s become SOP for them.

There is a theory which states that if ever anyone were to discover what the universe is here for and why that is will be instantly replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened. Paraphrased from Douglas Adams.

Now that Biden is out of the race, I’m curious as to what happens with this strip. There are few reoccurring characters. Two main ones, with Kevin (originally a Bill Clinton analogue before becoming his own thing) and Hunny Bunny (still a Hillary parody). Recently he’s added Trump the Skunk and Biden the Sloth. So I’m betting there will be a Harris character in a couple of weeks.

They’re already listening, and they are also watching..
