So if you have the urge to read something by him that isn't revisionist liberal posturing, check out his Lockjaw miniseries from a while back. It was actually really fun.

Let's not forget QAnon enthusiast Jim Caviezel, famous for playing both Jesus Christ and Edmond Dantes, two characters well-known for their *love* of governmental abuses of power.

Not directly, but I would say Three Jokers and Doomsday Clock are both pretty clearly Johns thumbing his nose at some of Moore's most beloved works.

I'd put Morrison's brief time on Wally above Johns, honestly. It felt like the most natural progression from Waid's (which is top-tier) until Johns gets there and decides that Wally should be miserable. Though I will also admit that Hunter Zolomon is one of my favorite villains.

Though I will say Johns' one-sided feud with Alan Moore has been damned entertaining.

Geoff Johns at the height of his power was the worst combination: someone yearning for books to be the way they were when he was a kid and with the power to make it so. It's why he threw away decades of character growth for the Flash Family and the GLCorps, just to have Hal and Barry be "his" again.

Like, Nazi Germany was so cartoonishly evil that it's leader ruined a facial hair style for the rest of time by association.

Everyone that told Trump “no” would’ve wasted zero time telling Vance to pound sand in the harshest way possible. He’s not the One Special Boy, so he doesn’t get the kid gloves.

He even added “I don’t wanna do that,” to make sure people knew HE was changing his mind.

"I don't have to use force. I don't wanna use force. I won't use force."

That’s not a mob boss threat, that’s a bully that’s been forced to apologize.

I've never heard of him and then all of the sudden today everyone treated him like the second coming of Politics Jesus and he wrote the thing that pretty much just said "LAW OF THE JUNGLE, BABY" and everyone cheered and I remain so confused as to why some of these big accounts care so much.

He’s already moved on to “tariff security blanket” and straight into “AI slop troll posts,” so I wouldn’t be surprised if someone (or several someones) told him this shit isn’t happening.

Good. They damn well ought to have done. Shouldn't have posted it in the first place.

Man, there's a lot of posters I liked reposting some of this dismissive prejudiced bullshit and that's bumming me out.

Someone from Utah should really sit down and think hard before they start writing whole swathes of the country off as demons fit only for subjugation and annihilation.

Yeah, I think that whole thread of bullshit is my cue to log off for the night. I'm in the deep south and there are so many of us trying our damndest to change things and getting written off whole-cloth by some of the most smug fart-sniffers you've ever seen just gets my blood boiling.

Political Bluesky

Seriously, if you just went by the general vibe of the site today, you'd think World War III is about to start and everyone is just... cool with it, I guess? Never mind the fact that the orange turd is clearly throwing a tariff tantrum because that's his only actual option (until SCOTUS maybe?).

The rule continues to prove itself true: Trump Always Chickens Out

Seriously, the one he tried to fire last year is still there not fired, and the last three politically motivated criminal investigations he ordered were unceremoniously tossed out by federal judges. Powell isn’t budging and this “investigation” will amount to a wet fart.

Can’t help but think this will go about as smoothly as the Comey and James attempts. They don’t seem to realize that you can’t effectively threaten someone to bend to your will if all the other threats you’ve made amounted to wet farts.

"Comfort and Joy" from the Justice League animated series. Funny, heartfelt, and joyful.

This feels like one of those “moments that will be pretty important historically” when discussing the downfall of this presidency.

Between the elections, then the Senate deal, and now today, it's just the most emotional whiplash on this site.

It really would help political pundits and social media talking heads to study the ins and outs of professional wrestling in order to better understand modern politics.

I hope his every morning is just a repeat of It Follows, but the entity looks like Biden.

You’re right, I could not have guessed what that was in regards to.

I don’t understand how someone can reconcile seemingly believing in empathetic principles like equality and LGBTQ+ rights while also being the absolute worst sort of human online.

Truth be told, Elon having all that power scared me more, because at least most of the evil bastards working now recognize that there needs to be at least a little government as opposed to Musk's "burn it all and start over with no plan" approach.

Honestly, I feel less scared now than I have at any point since Election Day for all those reasons you constantly list. They keep losing in court over and over and over, and then just shrugging and trying the next idea that then also loses in court. They're facist, morons, and losing.

Ok, because it’s seemed like Team Trump has been going through absolute pants-shitting terror over literally everything they’re trying being stopped cold or abject failures only worthy of mockery and derision.

But looking at some of the posts you guys have been dealing with and replying to… yikes.
