Refreshing honesty from Mike.

Ellie's avatar

Damnation! If I had known that Trump would blow his flute and lead half of the country from under their rocks to poison the world I would have been a much better person all these years. I had anticipated landing in hell with far more fascinating and far less evil companions. Johnson is the last straw for me! I will petition Satan to create a new level of hell for these horrifying scoundrels.

Pradnya Sikand's avatar

Great Idea! Inferno -Lago ? 😂

Ellie's avatar

Great name! Or The Southern White House.

Owlette's avatar

Or 'Alligator Hell'...

John Townsend's avatar

"Allegator Acheron"?

SUZANNE Marie McAdam's avatar

Florida Outhouse more like it.

John Townsend's avatar

"The Way, Way Down Southern White House!

John Townsend's avatar

"Inferno-a-Lago"?

"Lago de Fuego"?

"Fuego-a-Lago"?

Well…look at it this way. Us heathens who only committed minor sins like adultery, lying about our weight, and stealing silverware from famous restaurants will have so much fun torturing the Donald Herd of Turds. We can tie them up naked and heap burning coals on their heads until they confess to being turds.

💩

Mary Roeser's avatar

Herd of Turds!! Isn't it the truth?

SUZANNE Marie McAdam's avatar

Herd of turds...great.

Andrea Squires's avatar

That would be really fun!

Ellie's avatar

Our transgressions are minimal compared to theirs, Kimball. Perhaps we can go to heaven if God grades on a curve. can't wait!

John Townsend's avatar

A steep curve, I'm betting!

John Townsend's avatar

-and the rest of the heathens steal Satan's silverware......

Steve Newman's avatar

How about attaching The Ring Of Fire around his neck to ensure he roasts properly eternally. An adjustable ring so as Trump and his law makers ease their way down there’s plenty of room.

Pradnya Sikand's avatar

Honesty and Mike Johnson is an example of an a classic oxymoron! Thanks Andy! 😉

Glenn Sills's avatar

I rate this 10/10 on my "Andy Borowitz is funny this morning scale".

Kimball C Pier, Ph.D's avatar

Without Andy, I would still be taking this administration seriously

Pamela Johnston's avatar

You can’t do that and maintain your sanity. It’s a perfect example of cognitive dissonance.

John Townsend's avatar

--clang, clanging inside one's head!

Clym Yeobright's avatar

I saw that trump attended church services Sunday. After the congregation sang the hymn “How Great Thou Art”, trump stood, bowed, and suggested they sing something nice about God too

Elisabeth Birker's avatar

I love that song❣️ It overwhelms me every time. This administration/regime overwhelms me too, but I don’t love it…it just makes me angry, sad, heartbroken and it makes me want to spit. I don’t spit. I hope this nightmare is over soon!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mary Roeser's avatar

I agree!! It's one of my favorite hymns.

John Townsend's avatar

Written by a Swedish sea captain, I believe!

Mary Roeser's avatar

I'm surprised a bolt of lightning didn't strike him.

Katherine James's avatar

Brilliant as always!

Wis's avatar

Mikey will find a LOT of familiar faces where he’s going. Let him ‘Rapture’ over that.

Wis's avatar

Mike can take comfort that his Higher Power trump will be down there too, probably trying to rig the election for satan and firing tomahawk missiles from hell at more children.

John Townsend's avatar

Nothing refreshing about Mike Johnson, ever!

Clym Yeobright's avatar

Surely Satan will appeal this to trump. He doesn’t want the whiny little bastard either

Pradnya Sikand's avatar

Satan better watch out ! Trump abetted by Johnson will incite an insurrection against him and tell Satan his election was rigged ! 😂

Patricia Poohkay's avatar

Very funny Pradnya! I’ve heard many a comment that humour and humorist’s are indicators of the highest intellect!

Meredith Leonard's avatar

I read that as "erection".

Andrea Squires's avatar

I'm with you, Miss Emily!

John Townsend's avatar

---and that Republicans will need to control Hell's elections from now on!

Clym Yeobright's avatar

Whoa! Surprise! I’ve received a reply from God. He says …

DON’T CALL ME SHIRLEY

Wendy Tucker's avatar

'Airplane.' My favorite movie of all times. One of the best parts is the very end, reading the credits.

John Townsend's avatar

How about "Pearly" for the "pearly gates"?

South Park features the courtship!

Susan's avatar

I am deeply disappointed that Satan has not yet taken pity on us and called trump home.

SUZANNE Marie McAdam's avatar

This is what he meant by " A living Hell".

John Townsend's avatar

--there are already so many down there!

Mary Roeser's avatar

When MAGAT Mikey shows up, Satan will be very, very, VERY pissed off at having him in Hell.

Rosemary Ehle's avatar

God also had a problem with Mike's being OK with Trump raping an innocent 13 year old girl and then killing 175 of same in Iran.

Andy Borowitz's avatar

Oh, right, that!

nacreplus2's avatar

Wondering about...:

Maya Angelou: "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time."

Donald Trump: "'They say I have the most loyal people — did you ever see that? Where I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and shoot somebody, and I wouldn’t lose any voters,' he said, 'It’s like incredible.'"

Epstein Files: Evidence is emerging that girls and women were killed after being tortured with rape and other depravities and then were buried on Epstein's New Mexico property. (perhaps on others?)

I have been wondering what could possibly be in the Trump-Epstein files that Trump is so afraid of that he is starting World War III as a distraction. He's a convicted felon, fraudster, and rapist, an admitted pedophile, peeping tom, sexual predator and tax cheat. What's left?

Just connecting the dots here... Perhaps, Andy, you can somehow get to the truth here.

Oh and just by the way:

Donald Trump's ex-wife: died by falling downstairs with some mysterious details involved and buried in a weird, barely identified grave in the back lot of one of Trump's golf courses. Maybe that's just a behavior pattern?

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

Satan's imps and demons are busy working on expanding that special circle for phony Christians!

Al Keim's avatar

Oh - Matthew was on to them a couple of thousand years ago.

Lynn Hammonds's avatar

that gives me some hope, wish it was topside on Earth tho, like, now; when you grow up in the Bible Belt of Dixie (dad in air force) you get slimed by what I call 'churchianity'

Barb Glenn's avatar

I developed Post Traumatic Church Disorder (PTCD) from my experiences with cruelly hypocritical evangelicalism in high school.

Lynn Hammonds's avatar

please please please oh please

John Townsend's avatar

--and they've contracted with Halliburton.....

Andrea Squires's avatar

Here's my fear: he's not doing these crazy-ass things because he wants to distract from the Epstein files. He a) doesn't believe he did anything wrong and b) doesn't believe he can be harmed by anything or anyone. He does things because that's the latest misfiring neuron in his brain. Which makes me feel like I just realized the driver of the bus is blind and on meth.

Linda Shapero's avatar

He only has the one brain cell.

Mary Roeser's avatar

And it's on life support.

Wendy Tucker's avatar

I think you may be correct, Andrea. He really might believe he's flawless and immortal. He really might. The problem is that he seems to be convincing others. The Church of Donald Trump and Later-Day Saints???

(Should I apologize to any Mormons?)

John Townsend's avatar

The Church of Donald Trump and Latter-Day Dipshits!

Pamela Johnston's avatar

I’m not a Mormon, but I would apologize to them for linking dst to their church.

Joanne Elizabeth Schulze's avatar

Melania better watch her step. She may fall by way of an abruptly stopped escalator.

Steve Newman's avatar

She could end up in the foundation of The Ballroom.

Melania Who ??

Kathy Lee Davis's avatar

now that is a possibility!

John Townsend's avatar

--or under the new Rose Garden patio!

Wendy Tucker's avatar

Whoops, Melanomia.

Since Ivana accused donnie of rape and excessive hair pulling in her divorce deposition, we know he's capable of physical violence. Ivana later retracted this claim ($$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$??) but it's still public information.

John Townsend's avatar

Either Donald or the Deep State will have "adjusted" her stilettos!

Mark Lip's avatar

The golf course apparently gets tax break by now being a cemetery.

His wife fell down stairs instead of using the elevator.

Lynn Hammonds's avatar

grifting on the mother of his kids, he monetizes everything

Mark Lip's avatar

I looked up another grifter, General Caine. If the wiki page is correct, he probably stands to make a lot of money on the mess in the Middle East.

Mary Roeser's avatar

Did she fall by herself, or did she perhaps have a little help? Just asking...

Mark Lip's avatar

Id say asked and answered.

Mirla G. Raz's avatar

And Epstein hung himself?

Joanne Beck's avatar

Love that Maya Angelou quote...

Lisa Botwinick's avatar

To all you Trump voters, listen to what Maya says. Don't listen to what he says, but what he does! Starting a war is a bit drastic to avoid the Epstein Files. Perhaps they are in Iran and destroyed by now! Or Putin knows since he is telling him what to do!

nacreplus2's avatar

Putin definitely has a lot of unnatural influence on Trump. One of Trump's sons said years ago that they were awash in Russian money. So, I figured Putin could expose that he's a total fraud of a business man, but that just doesn't seem like enough now. Besides his bankruptcies make that public already.

Lisa Botwinick's avatar

I'm sure! He needs to be impeached AND REMOVED! Hopefully after the midterms! I don't know how they will remove him! After the midterms, 2 more years left and he won't be able to do anything!

SUZANNE Marie McAdam's avatar

Hell, it worked for Bibi. Look who talked him into it.

It's keeping them both out of jail!

Lisa Botwinick's avatar

That's why they are doing what they are doing but not for long!

Stephen Wadsworth's avatar

Check out ALISA WRITES on Substack for a fascinating 4-part article about what’s been going on with Epstein’s New Mexico ranch. Alisa Valdes-Rodriguez, a journalist to follow.

nacreplus2's avatar

Thank you for recommending Alisa Valdes-Rodrigez!

Susan Stone's avatar

I have read all four parts and it is scary. My vocabulary does not have the words to describe how awful all this has been. Thank your for highlighting these articles. I hope lots of people read them.

Candace M.'s avatar

You forgot grifter.

Wendy Tucker's avatar

There is so so much we don't know. And we can't let the information remain secret. It may take generations (God Forbid), but the truth must be revealed.

Richard's avatar

I agree with you 100%!

Sherie Knight's avatar

Yep, God’s a wee sensitive about these things.

Patricia Poohkay's avatar

HAHA! 🎶 🇨🇦

Babydoc's avatar

Oh, that? That’s right - I forgot. God.

JerryBier's avatar

There are times, even as an atheist, where I wish these things could be true.

Terri's avatar

So with you on that wish.

Al Keim's avatar

If there wasn't a God we would've had to invent one. :-)

Sharon Herrick's avatar

We did, Al, we did.

Mary Roeser's avatar

Voltaire said that about 300 years ago.

John Townsend's avatar

--or invent Zeus and company!

Andrea Squires's avatar

I'm very unsure about any afterlife, but I like having somewhere horrible to put the current administration

Steve Newman's avatar

Agreed… That eternal burning in hell thing seems so appropriate.

Ruth Monsell's avatar

Oh, Andy, you are priceless. I can't thank you enough for making me laugh in the darkness....every day.

Ruth

Lorenzo's avatar

Amen to that.

Wendy Tucker's avatar

Yes! You do do that, Andy. Thanks Ruth, for your comment.

David Fractor's avatar

Don't feel bad for Mike Johnson. When he gets to Hell, he will be so busy shaking hands with so many old friends such as Mitch McConnell, Lindsay Graham and other MAGA deplorables he won't notice the air conditioning is out.

L B Rose's avatar

Maybe he will then emulate the "rotten hand" look made famous by his Big Brother.

It's Come To This's avatar

And think of the upside. He'll get to sniff Trump's butt for eternity.

David Fractor's avatar

And to answer why Trump's butt is so big? So that Vance, Johnson and Bondi can all kiss it at the same time.

SUZANNE Marie McAdam's avatar

Don't forget Miller and Patel

It's Come To This's avatar

I hadn't thought of that....

Annette's avatar

and there's no ice for his lemonade

David Fractor's avatar

Actually, there will be plenty of ICE. But I think we are talking about two different types of ICE.

L B Rose's avatar

What would really be cool is if The Almighty took away their voices....and their access to Social Media

Andy Borowitz's avatar

That sounds like something out of Greek mythology. I like it!

John Townsend's avatar

How about well-aimed thunderbolts from Zeus?

Al Keim's avatar

Or if every time they used either the entire world laughed at them.

Lynn Hammonds's avatar

silent, empty screaming in the abyss

NewYawkTuff's avatar

He’s so stupid he needed to be notified of the obvious 😏

William Dickinson's avatar

Exactly! Wonderful point.

Al Keim's avatar

He has the best words- 'excursion' ! What a moron.

Pamela Massey's avatar

I think he went to the Dan Quayle school of spelling!

Lynn Hammonds's avatar

One podcaster mused he meant 'intrusion', but with Donnie he could think it's playtime, not a killing/destroying vanity project

John Townsend's avatar

--in big neon letters!

Sheila McEntee's avatar

Every sentence LOL!! I think this may beat Satan sending JD Vance to the Pope’s funeral to represent him because he had a more pressing engagement: a Tesla board meeting. 🤣🤣🤣 Bless you, Andy. YOUR reward will surely be in Heaven.

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

More likely, Johnson would have said he hadn’t seen the announcement yet as he ran away from Manu Raju!

As Gandhi said, "I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.”

Annette's avatar

great post, Paul - that's Ernie's canned answer about anything, "I haven't seen it."

LOVE the quote from Gandhi - and I doubt he ever met a MAGA sheeperson

Lynn Hammonds's avatar

That's why I call so much of it 'churchianity' and their Jesus talk akin to idolatry (a sin!)

Al Gorythm's avatar

Bound to happen when you not only violate the Ten Commandments in general but your oath you swore to the Constitution in particular.

Larry Caringer's avatar

Gee, I thought getting his son to join him on the porn app would get him into heaven for sure.

Annette's avatar

yeah, I wonder how that is going?

Eileen's avatar

That last line makes it all worthwhile!

Jonathan Weker's avatar

A Profile in Discourage if ever there were one.

Suzi Harkey's avatar

Unfortunately, it seems that the party has indeed chosen to serve the demigod over the righteous. Delusional.

Golden Rule's avatar

Somewhere there is Mikey's portrait all withered & foul to reflect his soul. A Dorian Gray painting to terrifying all who gaze upon it.

Lynn Hammonds's avatar

So that explains his downy complexion!

Sharon P's avatar

was just thinking of Dorian!
