A Confirmation Muir Has Never Read 'Oliver Twist'.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because A Woman in the Web.

So, this is the next week and a half, eh? Muir whining and begging for more money while insisting, no, no, that's not what he's doing.

...

Oh, boy, that's going to be tiresome.

So, Does He Like Rubio, Or Does He Not Like Rubio?

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Secret of Treasure Island.

Rubio these days reminds of that famous bit in A Man for All Seasons, where More comments to Richard Rich, the man who's perjured himself to help destroy More for a fairly insubstantial reward, that he could at least understand a man selling his soul for the world, but selling it for Wales baffles him. The man's given up every scrap of dignity he had--which to be fair was not much--to be Trump's gofer.

And when it is done, he will watch the cult that he's doing it for splinter into pieces, while those like him find themselves likely paying a greater price than the fool they've done it all for.

"YES, THIS IS CLEARLY WHAT'S HAPPENING IN CALIFORNIA RIGHT NOW!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Don Daredevil Rides Again.

It's kind of fascinating that he jumps onto the Swalwell story well after it's fallen to the wayside, and crows triumphantly about the state of California Democrats right as the governor's race starts seeing solid front-runners emerge. But then coming in a day late and a dollar short while screaming about bright futures that don't happen has been Muir's calling card for decades now, hasn't it?

Just So Much... Ugh.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The James Brothers of Missouri.

...

...

There's a voice in my mind going 'And into this strip, the Dork Lord poured all his misogyny, all his lust, and all his simultaneous hatred of and abasement before wealth and power.'

It sounds like Cate Blanchett, so that's cool.

Ahh, Yes, The Land Of Virtue That Is Putinist Russia.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Law of the Wild.

Once again, the extent to which he has just given up at this point is remarkable. He's retreated to the cheap comfort of squatting in the corner and shouting that everyone but him sucks.

Well, He's Certainly Dealing With Issues. Of A Sort.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Burn 'Em Up Barnes.

I've said it before, and I'll say it again--the extent to which Muir has checked out is breathtaking. We get strip after strip of him just whining about how powerless he is, in a Republican trifecta, because nothing is working, and so he has to go extra-heavy on the conspiracy to keep the reality that everything he wants is shit from breaking through.  

And We All Thought She Was Named After Eva PERON!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Last of the Mohicans.

Won't lie, I thought something like this was coming up, but only after Muir would first explain how we mustn't be hasty...

But no, next step is Muir shouting Nazi filth so he can chide those member of the Peanut Gallery who object for being sheeple when they object, because, no, no, he's not being a Nazi, honest, the jackboots and the armband are just for emphasis.

What Could It All Mean?

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Shadow of the Eagle.

While this all could be Muir starting out one of his patented about-faces, I think Skye is about to tell her daughter that it's too early to tell, can't separate the wheat from the chaff yet, etc.

I just don't think he's ready to move on yet.

"And The Most Devious Part Of The Conspiracy Is That People Keep Telling Us Just Asserting Things Doesn't Make Them Real!"

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Galloping Ghost.

We are deep in 'none of this makes sense' territory here, especially as Muir is once again screaming about how poor and persecuted his side is... while they control the government. But damn it, Trump hasn't pulled the insta-win switch, so clearly, there's work to be done before they really control things.

She Will Be Safe From The Schweinhund!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Vanishing Legion.

He says this as accounts of just what vicious thugs the regime's goon squad is circulate. But you, see Muir is offended, because the inferiors weren't supposed to fight back.

Somehow, The Magitech Is Only Getting Lamer.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because King of the Wild.

The reminder that Muir watches things like Star Trek without comprehending them is looking quite pointed now.

It's So Unfair That She Might Face Persecution For Being A Fascist Mouthpiece.

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Phantom of the West.

We've seen it time after time. The moment Muir's side is facing push back, he starts shouting conspiracy theories and claiming everyone against him is actually a subversive.

Because he's whiny, and once again, he and his project everything, including their own projection.

Youdacrooks, Wedagoodies, Youdacrooks, Wedagoodies...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The King of the Kongo.

It's just extra-amusing that this blatant bullshit where Muir tries to insist that the crook was the hero and the hero was the crook happens shortly after a Texas State Senate seat deep in Trump country flips.

Keep yelling Muir. It will make you feel better.

I'm Just Going To Sit Here Stunned For A Moment.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because The Fatal Warning.

...It's the projection that gets you, Muir imagining he's just being a witty guy telling it like it is when he's being... well, this.

Overhunting Coupled With Cyclic Population Patterns. Oh, Wait, That Wasn't Supposed To Be Answered.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because Vultures of the Sea.

I even have the misfortune to know just what he's referencing here, and this strip still leaves me somewhat puzzled.

Well, except for the eternal tendency of Muir's in-universe media endeavors to work through this strange sort of cargo cult fashion, Muir having the cast just do a rough version of media things, and somehow, it works until Muir gets bored with it.

Finding New And More Awful Ways To Insist He's Not Actually What He Is.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because she wants to be loved by you, and only you.

There's always something wretched when we get another look at Muir's awful brainless, virtueless Christianity. And using it to announce that he isn't an antisemite because Jesus...

Ugh.

Skye, Just Asking Questions From A Featureless Void.

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because I'm checking in.

One does wonder what made Muir decide what he really needed was an antisemitic tangent right now. Still, I do understand that as the paleo-cons sneak out of their tombs, they are once again marketing Jew-hate as the hip thing to do.

Proudly Expanding Their Prejudices!

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because three wise men said "Don't report this!".

It has certainly been a thing, watching Muir get more deluded and bigoted while imagining that he's becoming more attuned to the real truth.

See, She's Not SAYING There's A World Jewish Conspiracy, She's Merely IMPLYING It...

It's the Day's Day of Days! Because save the life of my child, cried the desperate mother.

Man, never thought I'd miss the days when Muir was merely a cryptofascist...

The Only Thing Better Than Misogyny To Muir's Mind Is Misogyny Mixed With Racism And Classism!

 It's the Day's Day of Days! Because They Can Only Hang You Once.

Jesus fucking Christ.

...

Remember, folks, if you're poor, Black, and speak with a dialect, it's a sign of how inferior you are.

As opposed to White folk with dialects, who are of course, good and virtuous.

Also, the poor are inferior and deserve to starve. Doing this won't have any negative repercussions at all. It can't! How can society need people who aren't well-to-do? How?
