Latest comic: The Supreme Court ruling overturning the Chevron doctrine was largely overlooked in the wake of the debate, but possibly even more apocalyptic. In short, the Republican majority gutted the precedent that gave deference to scientists and other experts at setting regulations for air and water pollution and food safety.

In any anti-democracy movement, a war on facts & reality comes first.

Men like Alito, who is so scientifically illiterate that he doesn't know the difference between laughing gas and a greenhouse gas, have been bought by the fossil fuel industry to continue frying the planet.

as hilarious as this is, I still have to ask the question:

What exactly are Americans proud of? Are the last several years of orange man fever something you're proud of? What kind of country allows itself to become such a laughingstock that the world just sees you as a bunch of giant drunk toddlers?

Don't get me wrong; my province definitely doesn't disappoint in the category of dipshittery, but at least our government is...kind of functioning.
