This cover was chilling in 2018—now it feels almost prophetic. At the time, it sparked outrage but also disbelief. Surely it couldn’t get that bad, right? But looking back, it captured something more profound: the normalization of betrayal, its casualness, like a handshake with an adversary while pulling the trigger on the very institutions you swore to protect and serve.
The Fifth Avenue line wasn’t just bravado — it was a blueprint. And the worst part? He was right. We’ve watched accountability bend, institutions buckle, and democracy absorb hit after hit — all in plain view. It didn’t happen in the shadows. It happened while people argued over whether it counted as treason.
This isn’t just a cartoon anymore — it’s a mirror.

America is still adjusting to Crown Jewels of our media falling to the dark side.

Sometimes I’m really just too tired to be leaving comments on posts. I guess I hit the dollar sign instead of the “and” symbol! Ha ha
Perfectly understandable, sometimes the fingers just get moving too fast trying to keep up with the mind.
