Q Toon: Hold Your Firing

The Supreme Court ruling in Bostock v. Clayton County, Georgia (and companion cases Altitude Express v. Zarda and R.G. & G.R. Harris Funeral Homes Inc. v. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission) came out minutes after I sent my weekly cartoon off to Q Syndicate a week ago Monday; so every other cartoonist in the known universe has already had a chance to publish their rainbow-themed cartoons. Since I've had to withhold my reaction (in fairness to the papers that subscribe to my work), I decided to take note of the reaction of the guy who appointed the guy who wrote the majority opinion.

Trump's response, as is his wont, was to fire off a pissy tweet:

"These horrible & politically charged decisions coming out of the Supreme Court are shotgun blasts into the face of people that are proud to call themselves Republicans or Conservatives. We need more Justices or we will lose our 2nd. Amendment & everything else. Vote Trump 2020!"

Trump was equally annoyed, if not moreso, by the Court ruling against him in Department of Homeland Security et. al. v. Regents of the University of California et. al., blocking the Corrupt Trump Administration's plans to scrap the Dreamers' program. "Do you get the impression that the Supreme Court doesn't like me?" the President of the United States of America and Leader of the Free World sulked in reply.

His attention span being what it is, Trump has since devoted his office to proving that he can drink a glass of water one-handed, complaining about having to walk down a ramp, and insisting that the number of people who attended his Tulsa rally really ought to include the people who were watching it on Fox News.

The Supremes are expected to rule this week on whether the state of Louisiana can regulate women's health care out of existence, and chances are still good that the Roberts Court will find its way back into Republicans' and Conservatives' good graces.

Thereby, I suppose, saving our 2nd. Amendment.
