Andy, it would be easier for Mayor Bowser to enforce the will of the people and deport the Rs to Texas if she had control over the National Guard in DC.
Recent history: Congresswoman Eleanor Holmes Norton (D-DC), Congresswoman Carolyn Maloney (D-NY), and Congressman Anthony Brown (D-MD) proposed an amendment to the fiscal year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) that would give the District of Columbia mayor control over the D.C. National Guard. The Rs voted against it. 🙁
This has been coming since the Reagan siege. Reagan got things started with things like deregulating the healthcare industry, giving subsidies to corporations for outsourcing American jobs, allowing corporations to raid pension funds, and one of the worst things was his repeal of the "Fairness Doctrine".
Reagan was a fraud, the original (Let’s) MAGA. He proved how easy it is to con the gullible by suggesting you’ll give ‘em what they want. His best statement was “Trust but verify” — and nobody verified him. Also, like the orange one, he also started to dement while still in office.
before that there was the John Birch Society. there has always been an extremist fringe in the GOP and they used to be shut down by their voters who weren't exposed to Fox Propaganda (and before that, the odious Rush LimpBalls...
Do you follow The White House Facebook page? If not, you should. Every day the WH posts some juvenile AI generated meme extolling how great the BIG ORANGE ONE is and the comments they get in return bury them in ridicule, and often demand the release of the Epstein files. My feeling is that it's our patriotic duty to particpate in that.
Antoinette -- You have a good point. Since Mexico turned down the opportunity to annex Texas (per TBR) you need to continue resisting redistricting efforts and elect more Democrats in the Lone Star State!
Hey now we've got Jazmine Crockett, Sylvia Garcia, Al Green, Beto O'Rourke, James Talarico and many other great leaders here. - Not everyone's a spineless worthless sellout willing to kiss a fat orange A rather than stand up for what's fair. Please don't give up on Texas yet - and for sure don't send any of T.A.C.O.'s flying monkeys here!
Any Republican residing in Washington D.C. is most probably assocated with the regime in some manner. Ergo, they qualify as co-conspirators in the death of democracy.
In the same way that in 2025 "obliterate" has come to mean "delay" (as reported by TBR), I believe that in 2025 "convict" means to "forgive" and "a convict" is now a person who is found guilty and receives no punishment.
I like the way you think, Amy. f_king is perfect for one who wants to be a king and what we want figuratively to do to him. There is also no room in that cell for a cell phone or a TV. The idea makes me smile.
A gang of masked men in unmarked cars should start dragging the Republicans out of houses, stores, brothels. wherever they’re congregating ( it won’t be in the halls of Congress where they’re never working).
my polite recognition of a marvelous comment . . . starts with a <golf clap>, transitions to a <snort laugh> (with, and without, caffeine spews) and culminates in a <standing ovation>
Trump has proposed that he might go after New York City next. Oh yeah? Bring it on, you feckless, brainless lump of orange jello. I'm a third-generation native New Yorker and a senior citizen. I will stand on the Manhattan side of the GWB and beat the invading hoard with my cane.
I heard that they have renamed the people's house to Madame Melania's French whore house. The current occupant thought that was a classy name for the tasteless crap he put in there.
WHAT AN IDEA ANDY! A real news story worthy of being called news! I'd say, let there be petitions circulated coast to coast and north to south! Every state begin a petition drive. These petitions could also name state gop dolts and dweeb. Maybe sign on rolls of toilet paper...2 ply at least so nothing gets torn!🥳🥳🥳 Nice blue ink gel pens should work perfectly.
Been reading you for years, have all of your books. And I bet you almost wish you could retire.
For years, because of their practices, I have been referring to them as "republiscums." And no capitalization. Scums because they have betrayed this country. Scums because they do not care about the people of this country. And scums because they are two-faced and only care about getting re-elected and lining their own pockets with cash. Feel free to use it. Just give me a little shout-out if you do so ICE knows to come for me and not you over it.
Let the arrests begin!

Do you get the feeling this mess is something the Republicans have all been planning for a while?
See Project 2025.

It’s all in Andy’s book.
Which I read with great delight and horror.
All part of his "Government is the problem" mantra.
before that there was the John Birch Society. there has always been an extremist fringe in the GOP and they used to be shut down by their voters who weren't exposed to Fox Propaganda (and before that, the odious Rush LimpBalls...
All great fans of Ayn Rand too
Don't know how long they've been planning it, but its working - not many talking about Epstein. The orange diverter succeeds again.

I didn’t know they had an FB page. I’ll check that out.
It's like a comic book....just amazing that this is how our government presents itself to the world!
Thanks!
Don’t count Epstein out yet…all we need is another spark and it’ll ignite again.
:-O
It's a dry run for taking over other cities. If no one yelps about it, trump and co feel they have permission.
Agreed. See Bob Reich’s Aug 12 insightful post “The Trial Run”.
Umh, since the R’s were baby dinosaurs. You think?
Yes, they’ve just been waiting for the right incident.
Please, no, Alan. We are already overrun with them here!
Antoinette -- You have a good point. Since Mexico turned down the opportunity to annex Texas (per TBR) you need to continue resisting redistricting efforts and elect more Democrats in the Lone Star State!
Where is JR Ewing when you need him?

tRump is going to offer Texas and Florida to Putin in exchange for stopping the war in Ukraine. Mullahs Abbott and Dumbsantis are part of the deal.
Jon -- Vlad will counter by asking for CA which would be blocked by Gavin.
As a California resident for over 30 years I would object too. However feel free to deport the Rs......
LOL
Via Abbutts Greyhound busses.
Or just the "Rapture"?
Yes! This would be a more permanent solution!
I believe they call it "The Final Solution".
Deport all the Trump-supporting Republicans to Alaska to dig out
frozen mammoths before all the glaciers melt!
Or just put them on the melting ice floes and let Nature take her course. Oh, and good food for the polar bears.
Ken Burchett was heard to have said, "I don't know why we have to leave this dad gum district, I just signed up to take Pickle Ball lessons!"
"--but ken, all the Republicans should leaver before all their balls are pickled."
Wouldn't they first have to have balls?
Yes, but such powerful microscopes do not exist yet!
--but then, all the Republicans should leave before all their balls are pickled.
There, I typed it correctly, and, no, I was not pickled when I wrote it before!
lol
Ah, Annette....didn't you just love the "folksy" term?
To the tune of the "Trolley Song" from "Meet Me In St. Louis":
Clink, clink, clink
go the handcuffs!
Bang, bang, bang
go the cell doors!
All the Trumpers
are in the hoosegow!
We all say "Wow"
and yell, "--and how"
It's a karmic ka-pow
Who could ask for more!
--just slam that jail door!
PLEASE.
But, they must arrest the criminals this time, not the immigrants and tourists, and make those who are convicted face a consequence! We're begging!
Any Republican residing in Washington D.C. is most probably assocated with the regime in some manner. Ergo, they qualify as co-conspirators in the death of democracy.
We're demanding!
Trump's polls are low. Don't push it Republicans!
What’s the new definition of ‘Convict’ in 2025? Anyone have some idea?
Good question, Amy Cain!
In the same way that in 2025 "obliterate" has come to mean "delay" (as reported by TBR), I believe that in 2025 "convict" means to "forgive" and "a convict" is now a person who is found guilty and receives no punishment.
Noun or verb?
And think what it would do for the average IQ in DC.
Let them be sent to El Salvador.
Ghislaine’s old prison cell is available
Ooh! I know who I want to see occupy it. That cell has orange written all over it.
In vibrant citrus colored spray paint, ceiling and on the tiny floor, on the bars, the lock. Imagine living in a f__king orange shoebox!
I like the way you think, Amy. f_king is perfect for one who wants to be a king and what we want figuratively to do to him. There is also no room in that cell for a cell phone or a TV. The idea makes me smile.
Cram them all in there with only one stainless(one hopes) steel toilet to share!
Perfect!
So is Ghislaine.
Her new one might be too since she can now leave during the day!
Jiz-Lame knows too much…it’s almost as if she’s not long for this world. Let her out during the day, maybe she is hit by a bus
Or she'll "accidently" fall down some stairs and end up buried on a golf course.
For meals? I hope it’s her one chance to skip
out for 5 minutes all day!
Even if it isn't, there's always a room for the orange felon!
A gang of masked men in unmarked cars should start dragging the Republicans out of houses, stores, brothels. wherever they’re congregating ( it won’t be in the halls of Congress where they’re never working).
YES, please and thank you!
If they look meek and obseqious, that's enough to assume they're guilty of being Republican?
--and certainly not in front of Home Depot!
I would cheer those masked men on.
me too!
Me as well! Both hands up over my head clapping!
Those same masked men most likely refused to wear masks during the Covid Crisis. How hypocritically ironic.
I know where we can get a some immigrants who need work......
Lock the a-holes out permanently, no latch, no knobs, no buzzer!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER.
<golf clap>
I have no idea what that is, but I'm laughing anyway.
my polite recognition of a marvelous comment . . . starts with a <golf clap>, transitions to a <snort laugh> (with, and without, caffeine spews) and culminates in a <standing ovation>
Got it!!
so true!
SAME!!😂
Brilliant!
And they can be humanely located to a place FAR from DC, maybe a sinking Pacific atoll.
I was thinking South Georgia Island surrounded by angry penguins and pissed-off Blue-Footed Boobies.
Some place where the water is rising. Real climate justice.
The Yam’s ears just perked up like Scooby’s when he heard the word boobies
Lovely! Both Blue-Footed Boobies and the Red-Handed Boobies!
lol Perfect
There are vacancies at Guantanemo, as I understand it.
That island occupied by only penguins that Trump put a tariff on. Heard Island I think. 🐧🐧🐧
If you tell Lard-a-Maga there are boobies there he may go willingly
What did Blue-Footed Boobies ever do to you?
Send 'em to Gaza.
on humanitarian aid and massive cleanup of all the damage!
How ‘bout a 365 day enforced community service!
Love it! And they are all in orange vests, heavy lifting, pulling weeds!
They can go with Musk to Mars. One way tickets only.
ASAP!
--where they must build treehouses in coconut palms!
With swarming, hungry sharks everywhere an eye can see their limbs, their faces, pull their hair out (..Ms. Noem).
This is the first time I have smiled all day. Oh if only, if only...
Jane, remember, everything Andy writes is true!
I keep forgetting that. Thanks, Nancy!
I don’t typically pray, however I’ve been throwing my arms up to the f__king heavens!!
Trump has proposed that he might go after New York City next. Oh yeah? Bring it on, you feckless, brainless lump of orange jello. I'm a third-generation native New Yorker and a senior citizen. I will stand on the Manhattan side of the GWB and beat the invading hoard with my cane.
I will buy a cane and stand there with you.
me too!!
Yes! We'll call it "Raising Cane!"
You rock, Olivia! Wish I'd thought of that.
And John: There actually are--or were--canes with a sword inside. My father had one! I should have kept it.
Make sure you electrify those canes? Hide a pistol James Bond-style at the end!
Ha! In the early '80s I lived on 178th and Ft Washington Ave overlooking the bridge. Awesome sight, albeit a bit noisy. 😉
You Go, Erika!!
Layfette Park, Oregon , border wall, Fordow . . .
So decisive!
Except maybe g
I think it’s likely Mamdani will join you happily!!
LOL
Absolutely pitch-perfect!
Anna Kendrick would like a word…
I heard that they have renamed the people's house to Madame Melania's French whore house. The current occupant thought that was a classy name for the tasteless crap he put in there.
Leave it to Trump to turn an historic place into a tacky, gold laden house of ill repute!! It looks as if Midas threw up all over it!!
of course, that naming added another $1.5M to her contract with her baby daddy.
She'd settle for that small an amount? Come on now!
something tells me she'd settle for a nickel, if it meant he was removed from her life lol
Just like the Donald's grandfather or great-grandfather who allegedly owned brothels.
"Unprecedented crime wave"
Will his chart read unpresidented?
No, this crime wave is completely Presidented.
One can only hope....pray---light candles---swing beads---bang on tambourines---write affirmations.....
If that doesn't work, then.......?
You forgot Burning Inscense, Chanting, Having a chat with Biden! Afterall, it’s all Joe’s fault not to mention Barack!
Kudos for your " sic " humor !
Thanks for the smile. I certainly needed it !! Bless you Andy !!
Yippie! What would you expect from the writer of “The Age of Ignorance”?
Indeed. Loved that book. !!
Right on! Makes the Gambino crime family look like pikers!
WHAT AN IDEA ANDY! A real news story worthy of being called news! I'd say, let there be petitions circulated coast to coast and north to south! Every state begin a petition drive. These petitions could also name state gop dolts and dweeb. Maybe sign on rolls of toilet paper...2 ply at least so nothing gets torn!🥳🥳🥳 Nice blue ink gel pens should work perfectly.
Anyone can start a petition on Change.org. for $5/month. Let us know when you've done that!
That had slipped my mind! Holy Moly!
Love it!
Hey Andy,
Been reading you for years, have all of your books. And I bet you almost wish you could retire.
For years, because of their practices, I have been referring to them as "republiscums." And no capitalization. Scums because they have betrayed this country. Scums because they do not care about the people of this country. And scums because they are two-faced and only care about getting re-elected and lining their own pockets with cash. Feel free to use it. Just give me a little shout-out if you do so ICE knows to come for me and not you over it.
Andy does not get to retire til I say so
--but we might all end up anyway in "Borowitz Barracks" in one of those "Alcatraz-es".
Muriel Bowser should take over the Secret Service.
