      I do have to ask Chris, you said this script was in your head for a week. Did that include the shock death of Mrs. Cates or was that added based on someone’s question about their ranch passing to little Jack/Jackie?

    How many thousands of people in power are partly responsible for this sort of thing, whether the thousands of DemonRat/RINO elected politicians and unelected bureaucrats, or the millions of voters that keep those people in power?

    They have vast amounts of blood on their hands, from all the victims of the criminals they protect, the illegals they allow in, the suicides from lives ruined by the agenda being pushed.

    My fantasy is that a very conservative, advanced alien race takes pity on us, terraforms a suitable planet, and takes all the good people there, then “sanitizes” the Earth, to keep this disease from spreading to the rest of the Universe!

      They won’t need to “sanitize” Earth, just quarantine it long enough for Progressive crazies to die out. After all, they don’t really believe in reproduction, “trans” people who have undergone full transition won’t be able to reproduce, and the third/fourth-wave feminists will abort their children. Males won’t be able to impregnate anyone because the feminists will have them all castrated, some before puberty and the rest after.

      If that doesn’t do it, then you know there will be purges and genocides in order to bring about a Progressive Utopia (i.e. Hell on Earth). I figure 100 years ought to do it, but wait for 300 just to make sure. It is likely the only humans left on the planet at that time will be living a hunter-gatherer existence.

        I was, on both occasions. And the… ‘Superior’ never got in trouble for giving the order,but I got raked over the coals. Basically, without going deep into details, As a young PFC, I was ordered by CPL Dingaling to Polish his boots and iron out a set of utilities(Marine Camouflage Uniform, called ‘BDUs’ in the Army) for the next day’s formation. I politely told that I would not. He said he’d courtmartial me, and I said try it, you gave an unlawful order demanding personal servitude. I also said I’d courtmartial him.

        Retard marched off, a little later I got called into the section head’s office, where I got screamed at. I was told that I should have followed the order then reported him, not dared to question Dingaling’s authority. I asked if the order was lawful. I was told it wasn’t, but I should have followed it anyways…

        Dingaling went on to get promoted, I Got Promoted to LCPL, but then was stalled for’Not showing true leadership potential’ for the rest of that tour…

        ‘And I made a desert of the land, and called it peace.’

        The truth is, this represents what goes on in the real world. Illegal Aliens cause something like 12 billion dollars a year in damages, either behind the wheel of a motor vehicle, drunk or sober, or in theft or gang violence or in spreading disease or selling drugs.

        Deporting them all won’t solve all the problem, but it would make it manageable.

        Accountability of the ones making the policies is needed. Buden-Harris, Schumer, Pelosi, and Romney and McConnell, and the rest of those in collusion, should be held to the standards that have been set, and duly punished.

        To make that happen, we need an *HONEST* election next year, or gun-play in the weeks after.

    There are “lots” who want the Aliens. The GOPe and the Elites want cheap labor. The “Progs” want to stick it to the Whiteman. The city pols are hoping for a taste of their demands for support of the “poor” Aliens.

    The Black population should be aware of Compton, California. The State brought in a Hispanic population (and their gangs). The Hispanics targeted the Black gang bangers, their families and their friends. Compton went from ~100% Black with ~100 murders per year to ~70% Hispanic with next to no violent crime. You folks who live near Chicago, Baltimore, St. Louis, New Orleans, etc are going to love your new neighbors. Enjoy your patios while you still can. It will be a fun ride!

        Almost no violent crime, but everybody ended up paying “insurance” to the gangs connected to the cartels south of the border.

        The result was like NYC under the Black Hand around the turn of the 20th Century. Just no Joseph Petrillo to lead the fight against the “beak-wetters”.

        Anybody who could afford to move out of Compton did.

        One way to have no “crime” is when there’s nobody left to steal from.

    B. Woodman, Roger, Kafiroon, et. al.,

    Day by Day is but a story. Yet, a powerful story.

    Sometimes, powerful stories become…prophetic.

    Go back and examine Zed’s face in panel two from yesterday.

    Ostensibly, the reason that civilized nations do not routinely use the decapitation of their enemies’s leadership is so that there will be someone with whom to deescalate and negotiate an end to the hostilities.

    The reality is that most political leaders and diplomats are devout cowards. They are intelligent enough to know that it borders on the impossible to maintain the continuous and complete security necessary to stop a dedicated assassin or sniper. The asymmetry between offense and defense is enormous. Thus, the near universal, ungentlemanly agreement in which that sort of thing just isn’t done.

    It is far, far, easier to destroy than to build.

    Again, Day by Day is just a story, a work of fiction….

    But should the day ever come when it intersects with and affects reality, the results most likely will not involve Artificial Intelligence, benign super intelligent beings, or divine intervention. Instead, we will be faced with a reality that makes feudalism look like a highly, advanced, civilization.

      I agree. Don’t go after the leadership.
      Go 4GW.
      Go after those that enact and implement the leaderships’ policies.
      Go after those that protect the leadership.
      The “lieutenants”, the “captains”, the bodyguards.
      Make the second tier afraid to enact the leaderships’ policies, as they may be next to “not hear the shot”.

    No, OUR scourge was underaged drunk driving. Two of my classmates were killed in separate accidents my freshman year. And what always baffled me was: it kept happening!
