What if some prominent Democratic legislators, blue state governors, mayors of large blue cities, and judges and attorneys who actually care about democracy, what if all these people got together to build a structure for holding fascists accountable when there's finally an opening?

#Patriotism
Jackboot: Hey there, Americans! It's your old friend Jackboot here with an important message! Jackboot: Please stop it with all the licking! I like a good tongue-bath as much as anyone, but this is getting to be a bit much! Jackboot: You're all out here saying stuff like "Obey law enforcement commands, don't get shot" and "If you didn't want your family separated, you should've immigrated the right way". It's great, but dial it back a bit. I'm shiny enough! Jackboot: Shame there weren't more like you in 1942. The Reich could've used you!

Bear: You may have Venezuela. Uncle Sam: We're trying to let you have Ukraine, but people aren't cooperating. Bear: You abduct Maduro. Seems like good model for us. Uncle Sam: No offense but I think that level of operation is beyond your capabilities. Bear: Polar bear friends say Greenland nice this time of year. Uncle Sam: Hands off my hemisphere, tovarishch.

I've always wondered why more people didn't resist the Gestapo but I see it now. It's really really hard to know what to do as a regular person on the street.

#ICE
Sheep: Can someone somewhere please hold these I.C.E. assholes responsible? Goat: Holding I.C.E. responsible just plays into the regime's persecution complex. Sheep: If someone in authority doesn't give the people some hope against this lawlessness, they'll be left with nothing but open revolt. Goat: Which plays into the regime's desire to declare martial law. Sheep: I just want to see these fascists suffer the way they've made others suffer. Goat: And now they've won, because they've turned you into one of them.

Ben and Jack are sitting on a bench talking. Jack: I used to think the only thing I could really be proud of, the only thing that was truly mine, was my genes. Jack: But then I realized I didn't earn my genes. They're not really mine. Jack: Genes set some parameters of what I can be, but I can choose to be anything! Ben: So long as you didn't choose to be, for example, tall. Jack: I consider myself to be exactly the right height.

Ben and Jack are sitting on a bench talking. Jack: Too many people go around thinking they're superior for things they have no control over. Jack: Where they were born or the color of their skin or the language they speak. Jack: People need to understand that the only source of virtue is human agency. Ben: And yet you're so proud of being a know-it-all. Jack: Hey, it takes a lot of work to know everything!

AG Pam Bondi called the victim shot by an ICE agent in Minneapolis a domestic terrorist, despite having no information about the woman. Trump agreed, of course. #Trump #ICE #Minneapolis #shooting #Immigration

Tanuki: I.C.E. is just murdering people in the street now. Fox: She should've complied with the law enforcement officer. Tanuki: I feel compelled to point out that non-compliance isn't a capital offense and I.C.E. is not really law enforcement. Fox: You can't build a Gestapo without breaking a few eggs. Tanuki: I honestly don't know how to write a comic about this. Fox: I think you should begin by thanking Trump and Kristi Noem for not shooting you, too.

Fisher: Hooray! More blood for oil! Raccoon: The last time the U.S. toppled a dictator of an oil-rich state it went so well. Fisher: As long as it's not my blood, I'm all for deposing another mustache! Raccoon: I'm sure this time we'll be greeted as liberators. Fisher: We destroyed two generations of young people in Iraq. It's the Zoomers' turn. Raccoon: As long as we can fill up our Dodge Garganturams who cares?

Orange Meanie: I ordered the bombing of ISIS Terrorist Scum in Northwest Nigeria. On Christmas! Toad: Tis the season for Tomahawk missiles, I guess. Orange Meanie: They were going to do it earlier And I said, nope, let's give a Christmas present. Toad: Merry Christmas to all, including the dead terrorists. Orange Meanie: It's not as if they celebrate Christmas, you know. Toad: That definitely makes it okay.

I speak for the trees!
www.sunday2am.com/sunday-2am.6...
A Christmas trees narrates while surrounded by torn wrapping paper. "So many of my brethren and sistren fell to make this family's day colorful." Reflected in an ornament on the tree we see someone in a Santa hat unwrapping something. "Wrapped but a moment, the tape barely dry, before being ripped asunder." The Christmas tree now has a black plastic trash bag under it. "Left only to be bagged, not even properly buried, with me left as dying witness." The tree has lost most of its needles and is on the curb next to the trash bag. "Tis the season of joy for everyone -- except the trees."

Groundhog: The American people deserve full transparency regarding the Epstein Files! Shadow: Over 500 pages released by the Department of Justice were solid black with redactions. Groundhog: What possible interest would the U.S. government have in keeping Epstein's clients secret? Shadow: The Trump regime certainly isn't protecting Bill Clinton. Groundhog: Surely no one would release 500 pages of black boxes just to tell Congress it can go fuck itself. Shadow: Who's gonna stop them? You?!

Hippo: I consider myself a cynical hippo. Hippo: But even so I can't understand how anyone in the government of the United States can sit by while the putative head of state is so obviously broken. Hippo: But maybe it's not just Trump that's deeply, irretrievably broken. Maybe it's the United States that's deeply, irretrievably broken.

Jack and George are walking through the park. George: I'm surprised at you, suggesting teevee as a viable activity. Jack: I've heard it said that the only contribution the U.S. has made to world culture is jazz and pizza delivery. But one thing is missing from that inventory -- Jack: The television sitcom. George: When we get back I'm going to ask them to give you an M.R.I. Jack: Bring it on! They're only going to find "Golden Girls" reruns.

Today I learned that the Nazi Party originally hailed Fraktur as the proper German typeface and that Antiqua typefaces (such as Times Roman) were Jewish, but in 1941 the Party officially banned Fraktur for being Jewish and switched to Antiqua.

Sheep: [in Calibri] Did you know that Calibri is a woke D.E.I. font? Goat: [in Times New Roman] It's not a font, it's a typeface, and of course I knew that. Sheep: [in Times New Roman] You really think Times New Roman looks more professional and dignified? Goat: [in Comic Sans] The Trump regime should try Comic Sans. It's the font of the people! Sheep: [in Fraktur] How about Fraktur? Goat: [in Fraktur] Gesundheit!
