Samuel Alito flew flags used by insurrectionists. Clarence Thomas' wife plotted to overturn the 2020 election. Both justices refused to recuse themselves from SCOTUS cases related to the Jan 6 plot. Both ruled in favor of Trump's mail-in ballot sabotage. I don't think I'll ever get over this.

In 2009, Obama urged the Chinese in China to respect human rights and promoted democracy. For Trump’s visit, those were part of the four red lines he was warned not to cross. And he didn’t. We used to sell democracy and planes Now we just try and sell planes.

ALT TEXT: a single panel cartoon by cartoonist Bill Bramhall. It shows a road through a desert, with a sign with an arrow pointing forwards. The sign reads:

An obese man is sitting on a huge iron ball chained to the leg of a man crawling along the road towards the sign. The obese man's shirt reads:
