...the entire second Bush reign, I kept thinking to myself, "isn't this the kind of thing that causes revolutions in countries?"
Think about it--when the Supreme Court decided who would move into the White House in January 2001, instead of the Congress, which, I believe, is how the Constitution says it should be done, I thought, "this is a gross violation of the public trust!"
When we invaded Afghanistan and Iraq, for no cause that international law (like the UN Charter) would find reasonable, I thought, "We're a rogue nation! TWICE! Who can stop us?"
When it finally congealed in my mind that the $300 tax rebate we all got back in '04 was essentially a bribe, I decided to draw this. I guess I can't complain too much. When he did it again in '08, I spent my tax rebate and got my first iPhone.
What a country.
Oh, and hey, if you like what I do with this comic or anything else online, help me pay my rent this month! If you could support me on Patreon or if you can buy my long-form comic, INKSTREME BALLPOINT ADVENTURES, I'd really appreciate it! Thanks! You can also just buy me a coffee! Every bit helps!
