White House Halloween Card

I was working in the lab late one night, telling myself to not waste time doing cartoons about bullshit issues like the White House ballroom, the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool, or renaming the Kennedy Center and Lake Ontario. The problem is that they keep presenting themselves as metaphors for far more important issues than a building – in this case, the way this kind of asshattery always struck me as symbolic of the boorishness, the tackiness, the selfishness, the conceit and butt-naked narcissism of America.

You’d think that by this point a doorknob like Trump would have outgrown this type of Halloween zaniness, but apparently not.

Access Excess

I can’t even begin to pretend to care about the Donster kicking MSNOW (the artist formerly known as MSNBC) and CNN (aka ZNN) out of the White House. The anchor dollies at MSNOW can’t seem to shut the hell up about how their voices are being stifled and how the First Amendment is being threatened by the denial of access to the Donster’s daily raving’n’drooling press conferences consisting of demented propaganda babbling and not much else, and their inability to dutifully record said raving’n’drooling to parrot back at the addled masses… or, as it’s known in the USA, “journalism”.

Yeah, y’sure heard that right; the people who gave us Kuwaiti Incubator Babies, Iraqi WMDs, Iraqi Yellow Cake Uranium, the Uyghur Muslims and Russiagate – and have spent the last three years beating down public dissent against the Gaza genocide – are screaming and yelling about free speech ‘cos they can’t get a spot at the Donster’s White House media circle-jerk. You’ll pardon my giving sub-zero fucks about any of those kiss-asses.

Mr. President, You're No Jack Kennedy

Democrats and Liberals won’t stand up to fascists and ICE thugs, but they’ll raise holy hell over the reflecting pool at the Lincoln Memorial. They’ll gladly abandon Palestine to the IDF to avoid appearing antisemitic and won’t lift a finger for transgendered people because that might cost the DNC an election, but they’ll man the barricades for the goddamn Kennedy Center. That’s right, they’ll try to appease fascists by throwing basic human rights and dignity to the wolves while they protest for A GODDAMN BUILDING.

John the Baptist, after torturing a thief,
Looks up at his hero, the Commander-In-Chief,
saying, “Tell me, great hero, but please make it brief –
is there a hole for me to get sick in?”

The Commander-In-Chief answers him while chasing a fly,
saying “Death to all those who would whimper and cry!”
And dropping a barbell, he points to the sky,
saying, “The sun’s not yellow, it’s chicken!”

– Bob Dylan, 1965
