So is the state elections commission not doing anything here? Someone had to call them up and be like “hey no one gets 100% of the vote, can we get a hand recount?” Also the governor doesn’t have that kind of authority over the state’s board of education. He can’t just arbitrarily tell them who to expel. They may be state funded, but they’re technically a non-partisan independent board regulated by the federal government.
This should be the Saturday after the election, Ronald should just be the Governor-elect. He only has the power to convene his transition committee. Anything else would get him thrown out of the building.
Jocelyn has been portrayed as a strong and independent character, she has something up her sleeve.
I get the feeling he got his Neo Nazi buddies to “convince” the state education board with that threat of expulsion. I’m genuinely surprised he wasn’t informed about the break out attempt, would have been interesting to see him threaten the guys with jail time if they tried anything else funny.
At this point, I wonder how much lower they can get. Threaten Clinton out the office so Ronald can spread his special “righteous” behavior across the country?
@bluediamond07
The moment when he outright ordered his daughter to be shot dead in front of a crowd of tens is the moment when Ronald moved from cartoony pain-in-the-ass to an unrepentent monster, and yet he keeps on winning no matter how much abuse he gets put through. This is no longer a joke… he needs to be shot dead, and you know that’s what’s ultimately going to happen when Phyllis’s sole brain cell finally lights up and she remembers her time at the firing range.
@Maetch: I wouldn’t be so pessimistic about it – Jesse has a way of making his villians’ downfall look *so* satysfying to watch – just take a look how the universe dealt with Russell last year. Besides, the world still bit Ronald in the ass, even if he succeded – dude got shocked by lightning, mooned by some jocks, lost all his voters’ support and had Jocelyn cut ties with him all in the same year.
Everybody prays she’s faking it, but given how everything so far has continued to go in Ronald’s favor, I fear it’s more likely that they did indeed break her. People, we’re approaching the final reckoning of Eden Prairie.
Hmm… she did last say “See you Saturday”. Maybe this was just a few days.
Probably enough time for Vicky and Lars to send the other kids somewhere safe, rack up their parents (if they side with their kids for how harsh they’ve been treated), gather the evidence against Ronald, and plan to expose everything in front of the people attending whatever this is…
Oh, yeah, and Jocelyn MUST be faking it. I do wonder how things went down with that counselor woman…?
She’s gotta be faking. It’s only gonna make Ron’s crimes being revealed even more hilarious when she drops the act. Though I hope the counselor got her just desserts as well…
SunSHAAANE?
Im panicking right now. Hopefully shes faking it and wearing a wig or my heart will break

@Melgone: Ronald may be a lot of things, but let’s not get too crazy about what he could & couldn’t do with his power.
This should be the Saturday after the election, Ronald should just be the Governor-elect. He only has the power to convene his transition committee. Anything else would get him thrown out of the building.

I hope about three things.
1. Jocelyn is ok
2. Phyllis leaves him and tries to be better
3. Ronald @$#’/+& gets what’s coming to him!

bet it’s a wig and she’s using it to get close.

@Blackferret Ronald’s *not* a legit governor. We all know that.
That’s a fucking Joker Gas grin on Jocelyn’s face. There’s some eldritch energy around her.
Jocelyn had better be faking it or else we riot.
Somehow I think we’re going to hear nothing BUT vulgar new lyrics once Joce cuts loose…
Os nobody else going to mention that Phyllis thought Jocelyn went on a trip to Iceland?
Yeah, had a feeling she’d put on an act…
How much time has passed since that one rescue?
Hmm… she did last say “See you Saturday”. Maybe this was just a few days.

Anyone hear a faint, repurposed version of the X-Files theme, or is it just me?
Note: I’m really going to feel for you guys if everyone here’s proven wrong.
Really enjoying this arc
Let’s hope she is faking or else…
Bit of a time skip. Also, I don’t think even a legit governor can just tell a school to expel students.
Ronald McDickface is going to wish he’d brought an umbrella, because I see a shitstorm brewing on the horizon.
Only question is, how long will Jocelyn maintain the facade?
She’s gotta be faking. It’s only gonna make Ron’s crimes being revealed even more hilarious when she drops the act. Though I hope the counselor got her just desserts as well…
So wait, does this time skip happen after Ronald’s inauguration?
Well it didn’t take long for Hell to break loose, ironic for a Christian lol
Though I’m curious if that’s actually Joyce’s natural hair or if she’s just wearing a wig 🤣
You can tell she’s bullshitting it cuz she’s still got light in her eyes
So how much time has passed from the previous strip to this one? The pacing is throwing me off.
You called it indeed, Peter R.
Don’t be fooled, folks. Underneath that sweet facade Jocelyn’s putting up is gonna be one heck-a-roonie of a surprise…
*Edna Krabappel voice* She’s faking it.
Look at how they massacred my girl!
I called it. I FUCKING CALLED IT.
