Congressional term limits
Holding government officials of all positions accountable
Stop allowing misinformation to be taught in schools as fact
Eliminate the electoral college
Stop redlining
Outlaw gerrymandering
Make voter suppression illegal
End the two party stranglehold on US politics

In an effort to express the actual struggle the US is up against in this racist corporate fascist regime let’s review all the things that will need addressing:

Dismantling misinformation networks
Eliminating lobbyist influence
Removing private interests from government affairs

Rulings against Trump and his band of criminals are a literal bandaid on a gaping wound.

If nothing can be enforced against him, he will just continue steamrolling everything to get his way.

Waiting til midterms to hope things will change assumes voting won’t be compromised.

We can’t wait.

In case it isn’t clear where we are:

The Republican Party is dead, and entirely subservient to oligarchs.

The Democratic Party is all but dead from its inability to prevent anything from happening.

The balance of power of government is nonexistent because checks and balances no longer exist.

I will not stop posting this, because it will not stop being true. And this regime is proving George 100% accurate.

Incidentally, if all the power grabbing and federal theft isn’t enough evidence that crony capitalism has reached the nadir of its terminal influence on America, I don’t know what will convince you.

Even if the orange one is removed from power, there is a tremendous amount of work to do fix this.

Power outages suck. So do hours of ridiculous high winds.

Observation: Elon Muskrat is not even close to a real life Tony Stark or even a Lex Luthor. Both of those would require intelligence he could never dream of.

No, Elon is real life Montana Max from Tiny Toons. Convinced he’s owed everything and doesn’t care about anything but money.

I have it!!! The best way to describe the Democrats while the opposite party is ripping Democracy apart…

The Democrats are the gentlemen putting on boxing gloves looking for a fair fight with a marauding horde of zombies with knives and forks ready to feast.

To further compound that problem, add the tyrannical grip of the two party system on government. It literally guarantees the ability for power grabs like this to be simple, if one side is greedy and heartless enough.

I think this is both the best understanding of our political parties and why the the system has failed so drastically. This isn’t good vs evil, it’s power hungry thugs vs strict adherence to the rules.

One side threw the rule book out decades ago, and the other can’t function without it.

A fake billionaire is letting a fake genius destroy America because a bunch of fake patriots are too stupid, too entitled and too hateful to understand the difference between what is fake news and what is fact.

A helpful guide to translate current policy dumbspeak:

DEI: anything that isn't white, male and loyal to Trump
Monetary waste: money not in our pockets
Firing federal staff: removing the disloyal that could expose our bullshit
Batshit executive orders: create panic and scheme to make things worse

I still have a LOT of copies of both Encore Gold (a general overview of my career) and Encore Silver (black and white work). Both are 140 page best-quality hardbacks plus dust-jacket. They sell for 35 dollars, plus post, and if you want a copy just mail us: info@sharpy.net.

All of this is illegal, unconstitutional, and it’s taking far too long to shut this noise down and remove this cancer from political office.

If you’re even remotely confused by the current situation, simply look at the people being targeted, the rhetoric being used, and the lengths they’re willing to go to to control the narrative.

Whether it’s DEI, woke, or other buzzword, minorities are the primary target but everyone suffers.

The finished pic. It's already spoken for, but if someone wants a print, hit me up.

Almost done, there’s still bits of clothing details on both figures and armor work to do.
February 2, 2025 at 6:02 PM
Getting to work on the details on Mando in sections to keep colors consistent. Coming along nicely….
