Save America? Is he serious? I guess that’s the joke. And what does he mean again? So it sounds like there’s a new pure Anasigma Skinhorse, I wonder if it the mandate means including both humans and nonhumans.
Mr. Green considers non-humans a threat to humanity and America in particular because a lot of them have human-level intelligence on top of, say, the physical abilities of a tiger, not to mention any other goodies they might have engineered into them.
Somehow I get the feeling that our rogue agents aren’t going to be happy with the kind of “work” Ira is planning on doing with the vulnerable sapients.
BRGR: Sort of. The most vulnerable sapient I can think of in this is probably Phil (last seen in http://skin-horse.com/comic/todays-comic-720/). There’s a chance that someone would miss him if he went missing, though.
I’m not thinking of his physical vulnerability. Helen & Dave aren’t willing or able to operate their island like a prison. It wouldn’t take too much to persuade Phil to build a raft and sail away from there. After that, who know what he could do?
I’m not sure what makes you think that Helen and Dave are neither willing nor able to operate the island like a prison. Not all test subjects are willing captives, you know.
Tip won’t be happy in Kansas, therefore we can expect a counter-sally ASAP.
May he find the Lady of Eternal Springs….(if I may mention Her)
Yeah I’m confused on what ulyoubwere talking about.
a.k.a. Ms. Berenice “Tigerlily” Jones.

*cough* Trump joke *cough*
But in-universe, he’s probably referring to the previous war.
Personally, I think he just equates doing horrible things to non-human sapients with “saving America.”
Yes, it’s a Trump joke.

Ira-as-Violet outlines the basics here:

So, less a reference to Trump and the alt right per se, more drawing on the same xenophobic paranoia they use to justify their racism.
1: If they wipe oyt Kansas nobody will know (or care), including those of use we live here.
2: In Kansas,we have Flying Monkeys! (On loan from Oz)
“wipe out Kansas” and “those of us that live here”
(Sorry about that!)
Q: What’s the Matter with Kansas?
A: It was wiped out by a rogue secret government agency.
“What’s the Matter with Kansas?”
Ask those few tortured souls who managed to escape.
If they wipe out Kansas nobody will know (or care), including those of use we live here.
“My god! They’ve leveled the entire region flatter than a pancake!”
“Actually, it was quite literally that way to begin with…”

The most vulnerable sapients are humans, correct?
I thought humans were the most vulnerable game?
I’d vote for Leo the lion as the most vulnerable sapient I know.
I’d vote for the Silverfish, but they’re safely aboard Annex One, so they’re covered.

Phil ended up at the Narbonic labs, though. The only thing he’ll be vulnerable to there are the Narbons themselves.
Which… okay, maybe he really IS the most vulnerable sapient around… hrmm…

The cobras?
Aren’t they hanging out with the Killbots?
Alfie was XO on the Habakkuk, but I don’t know where Merope and Meg and the others went.
Didn’t think Dr. Engelbright went in for that Men In Black look. Is that Echo Bravo with her?
Probably. He seems to have “favored minion” status.
Did anyone else hear that ominous musical sting in the fourth panel? The Wizard knows how to make things properly sinister.
And this is why you don’t hire people out of spite.
