He definitely hated Trump long before Trump was President.

It's not clear where or when the saying originated, but it was around at least by the 70s, which isn't long after the Voting Rights Act made widespread voting by black people possible.

It's tone deaf to say the least. More obviously so when it was coined.

The good thing is that if they're letting you sit and wait you're gonna be okay.
If they take one look and make you the priority, that's not good.

But the point is that's all Christians.
"Cafeteria Christians" is usually an insult applied to the "wrong" kind of Christians by those who think their tradition is the one that got it right.

Yup. It's all very much a reference.

Johnny Melnibone and his giant black rune-carved stratocaster Soulsinger, almost killed me when I first read this

I don't remember exactly where the turning point was, but the first few John Carter books were great and then started to slide.
I've got a vague memory of thinking the same about Tarzan, but I haven't read the latter ones of those in decades.

It brings back memories and makes me want to reread them.

Again.

The US left (at least online) is laser focused on attacking Democrats. Has been for at least a decade.

And they didn't, so I guess Schumer did his job there.

So, what specific authority does Schumer use to stop this?

Yeah, Schumer needs to use his Constitutional powers as Senate minority leader to arrest Trump or take over the military. /s

What do you want him to do? He's limited to basically "strongly worded statements" and trying to persuade Republican Senators to act.

Probably still the best idea, but when they're mostly harassing minority and immigrant daycares, you can see why staff might hesitate.

IMO, Badger isn't as consistent. Don't get me wrong, when it's good, it's one of the best, but there are sections that feel like he's phoning it in.
The first year or so is consistently good, iirc.

That's probably the only reason it went public though.

Otherwise it would have kept a level of (im)plausible deniability, which actually helps avoid escalation.

Okay. Couldn't remember how early that plot showed up.

IIRC, it also just jumps right in with a new case and no real origin/backstory for GrimJim other than the infodump from FutureJack in the last arc.

It would have, if First Comics hadn't gone bankrupt and the rights gotten tangled up in court for years.

Maybe the Court ruling that he had immunity had more to do with that?

He was protected by the judges he appointed. You don't need to look for hidden conspiracies when it's right out in the open. The SC gave him immunity for most of what he did as President. What else do you need?

Munden's Bar is where it are.

That's really recent though. Not the 80s stuff.

Domestic abuse is also pretty common among police officers

There should be no special treatment. If he's guilty of anything hang him.

But we also shouldn't fall for Trump's obvious attempt to deflect by selectively redacting and releasing files to smear Clinton.

It's not about having a hero or wanting to protect Clinton.

It's about Trump using him to distract from his own crimes.

Are you implying Clinton had Epstein killed?

In 2019? In federal prison?

They were good, but flashback stories. Nostalgia rather than moving forward.

Not a cliffhanger. Without spoiling anything, the story wraps up nicely, but there's basically a "Grimjack will return" line on the final with some hints about how.

One of the best 80s series and one of the tragic victims of the First Comics bankruptcy, along with several other brilliant titles.

Still sad they never were able to follow up on the tease in the last issue.

No. Why are we playing his game? Why are we helping deflect attention from Trump while his team puts out photos that have nothing to do with Epstein that make it look like Clinton's guilty?
