It was easier for the Epstein files to disappear.

Pradnya Sikand's avatar

😂😂Indeed ! Pouf ! Abracadabra! Andy, your humor is the perfect antidote to the horrors of the evening news and as restorative as a pink gin fizz! 😉Couldn’t Kristi have joined Pam as a fellow clamberer? Cookie and Mousse and all their doggie cohorts would celebrate! 😂💕

Lynn Tuohy's avatar

Last I heard about Kristi was that she was still living in military housing assigned to the head of the Coast Guard. He wants the house back; she wants to stay there.

SUZANNE Marie McAdam's avatar

Last I heard, Lynn, is that the "Peace Board" she was supposedly

hired to serve on has been disbanded and the substantial funding

has disappeared. Guess the military can give her the boot.

Sandra Nicht's avatar

gee, what a surprise to find that the money has disappeared....

Lynn Tuohy's avatar

Oh no! Are you saying that she’ll go back to South Dakota and then maybe run for office?How many places can we name where she’s not wanted?

SUZANNE Marie McAdam's avatar

Faster to name where she is....a LOT faster

Tricia W's avatar

I am sorry, but I still find their collective arrogance-on-meth beyond belief !

Anne Fletcher-Jones's avatar

Best laugh I’ve had today!🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Katherine James's avatar

That photo with your caption is hysterically funny instead of hysterical making. Thank you!

Howardsp's avatar

The wild turkeys gobbling outside my window seem to like this piece, Mr. B.

Rose Edgar's avatar

Got my absolute first chuckle of the day. I can always count on you Andy to make me laugh and at least for a little while not worry about what the moron in chief is doing today.

Al Gorythm's avatar

In light of recent events, Mexico has decided to pay for the wall.

Canada says they want one, too.

Annie D Stratton's avatar

That got an actual laugh-out-loud from me, Al. Perfect.

Irna Gadd's avatar

I always find Al's comments to be funny. He's a natural, apparently.

Annie D Stratton's avatar

And that one was pitch-perfect.

Lee Zacha's avatar

I like that she almost looks like she jumping out of a dumpster. She’ll feel like it tomorrow if she shows up. 🤣. lol

Jerr's avatar

If she shows up it will be the same old MAGA crap, the Rethuglicans will try to protect her with softball questions, while the Democrats will ask questions that should be answered and she will bring up the stock market or tell us what a great president that Dump is! If she makes that statement she should be charged with perjury.

Roland Saeger's avatar

Ann Telnaes' latest post shows DJT floating on a dumpster swimming pool, so your comment is visually astute.

Sharon Herrick's avatar

Ann's cartoon was/is marvelous.

Bruce Keogh's avatar

Ann is brilliant - but that's not news !!!

Shannon Kincaid's avatar

Have y'all heard Tim Snyder's American diplomacy in under 60 seconds? It's chef's kiss. I'll try and share the link here but don't know if it'll work...

https://www.instagram.com/reel/DY4-7jZB_zO/

Beth B's avatar

It works. So does Snyder's explanation. 🤣

Frau Katze's avatar

Better start working on it now. Can you imagine how many will be heading for the exit once the Republicans start losing elections?

We don’t want them in Canada and I’m sure Mexico doesn’t either. Maybe Putin would take them ?

SUZANNE Marie McAdam's avatar

They'd better learn how to be useful or

he'll send them to the Ukranian front.

He's about out of Russians.

Frau Katze's avatar

Now that would be something. ‼️

Shannon Kincaid's avatar

Peter Thiel, apparently, (The Independent) is buying property, meeting privately with Javier Milei and is moving parts of his life to Argentina. After he and his brethren tech bros 🤮 talked endlessly about reshaping society, this intel feels less like a vacation and more like contingency planning.

Anyway, when people seem to be *quietly* locating lifeboats, I pay attention...

Brenda Reiss's avatar

We will see more of those bros exiting before November. I heard something about rats leaving a sinking ship.

Shannon Kincaid's avatar

From your lips... 🙏🏻

Al Keim's avatar

The Hoover Institute should go on a massive expansion and build a place for the homeless republicans.

myhoopbabies's avatar

So funny. Thanks, I needed a laugh today.

Erik Bruun's avatar

And who can blame them?!?

Dr Marlene Snyder's avatar

This like is from a Canadian!!

Mirla G. Raz's avatar

HAHAHA. So funny!

Robert E.'s avatar

And additional height requirements.

Annette's avatar

<snort laugh>

Gjay15's avatar

I would like one of those walls too please.

Stuart Simmons's avatar

I would have offered to drive her over the border.

Wis's avatar

Or catapult her.

Annie D Stratton's avatar

Thank you, Wis. I am not a mean person, but I needed the whimsy. And the chuckle (well, ok, the snort).

Elisabeth Birker's avatar

😂😂. Yes please!!!

Erika Rosenfeld's avatar

I'm casting a vote for a trébuchet. It's a kind of catapult, but with the added advantage that the word in Old French (c. 12th century) means to "overthrow." It's capable of hurling a few hundred pounds, so, in theory at least, Pam Bondage could be joined by Kristi No-Mam. I understand it was easy to reload, so we could eliminate the entire cabinet, plus some of the more revolting hangers-on, in no time.

MaryAnn Nøbben's avatar

Sounds great, but will it pitch them as far as Russia? we don't want to pollute or alienate our nearest neighbors!!

Wis's avatar

😆 You’re so considerate , MaryAnn! Unfortunately, that ship has sailed: trump has already thoroughly alienated and polluted our neighbors (and the whole world.).

Maureen OShanesy's avatar

Excellent mental picture thank you!

Bruce Keogh's avatar

Driving her would be a chance for a nice friendly chat about the Epstein files.

Elene Gusch's avatar

It's just that Mexico doesn't deserve having her inflicted on them.

Marjorie's avatar

OMG, we live about 20 minutes from there. We're rushing down to help foist Pam over the wall.

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

It's a hoist & foist operation -- hoist her over & foist her on Mexico (apologies, Claudia).

Of course we can expect them to catapult her right back.

If I lived closer, I'd rush to join in.

Nancy Morgan LeBar's avatar

That's the bad part of all this. We can let republicans escape to Mexico, we can even help them, but Mexico will just send them back.

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

I know, I know. Dammit!

So we basically end up with a game of tennis -- we lob her that way, they slam her back with a note attached "Oh hell no!" We re-lob, they catapult her back. We cannot expect a love match here.

Gordon Shumway's avatar

could be a Monty Python skit ("I fart in your general direction!")

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

I love that notion! They'd do this brilliantly -- like the blanc mange tennis match one.

Bruce Keogh's avatar

Not even some deucey gossip. OMG, I am getting worse !

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

Nay nay, Bruce -- a nicely punny bit of horsing around! But I am gonna call it for Claudia -- despite our furious lobbing, the deucy gossip has it that THAT Prez has got game, set and match. Shamela's been netted and put on ICE.

Bruce Keogh's avatar

Well done ! We are getting dangerous !

Annette's avatar

can't say I blame Mexico, but perhaps if we send them with a couple boxes of pork shoulder . . .?

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

I think you're onto something there -- bribery could naught but help our cause. Perhaps throw in a a Dodge Ram Charger to bolster?

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

Foist her on her own dotard!

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

Brilliant word play, Paul! Love it!

Peaceful Mary T.'s avatar

Trumpty says he doesn't want criminals coming in from Mexico, so he may decide to throw her right back over that wall!

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

LOVE THIS!!! And hmmm... got me thinking... Any way we can toss T-wad over the wall and then refuse to take him back based on that same principle? Or if they toss him back, we lob him right back over based on that same principle?

SUZANNE Marie McAdam's avatar

Geez, Floof....I don't think they could come

up with a trebuchet big enough, do you?

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

Hey, they had some mighty big ones in Lord of the Rings -- if they can do it, so can we! And we're trebly inspired.

Annette's avatar

have ICE waiting for her at the border, if she tries to make it back into the States

Nancy Perry's avatar

hahaha I was expecting the Punch Line to say "for medical coverage"

Kate Delano-Condax Decker's avatar

I would swear this photo is the same one as another photo showing the head of Kristi Noem., on this same body, with the same clothing, in the same position, climbing over the same wall. Are the two "celebrities" interchangeable? Is there just one body, but two heads, used at different times? Please do explain this. It is scientifically so interesting! :-) !!

Jerr's avatar

A 2 headed snake perhaps? Bondi should be happy that she doesn't look like a puppy, Noem would have shot her by now.

DJ's avatar

Have you ever seen them together?

William DeYoung's avatar

I guess we have discovered, or at least corroborated the alternative reflex response to danger. Instead of fight or flight, it is now “Lie or Fly”.

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

Good one! Ya got that right!

Mary Couillard's avatar

Love your humor don’t know if I could get through this without it !! Thanks

I love the deliciously ironic switcharoo you’ve created here, Andy! I can picture the flipped messaging by Mexico, modeled after trump’s about [any and all] immigrants in the US; it will be delivered as a national alert:

“After a local fisherman spotted Pam Bondi on the Mexico side of the border wall, he immediately “went home and locked the door,” he says, “And I called the police right away!” Tijuanan police are now spread out and searching the entire area for the former AG of the United States, now illegal alien roaming our streets, Ms. Pamela Bondi. Federal agents are expected on the scene soon.

“This just in - we now have confirmation: Many more Republican politicians are expected to swarm over the border into Mexico! Beware!These people are pedophiliacs, rapists, the worst of the worst criminals! It is imperative not to trust one word they say! Get your children inside and guard your couches! They rape the couches! Like immigrants eat the pets in the US - the Republican politicians actually rape the couches!”

This wise message will interrupt regular programming in Mexico every two hours.

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

O Dios mio! Brilliant, Wis! Have they had top secret intel that JD is headed their way, too?

Wis's avatar

(😉😏. Shh! Don’t say it too loud - trump might overhear and have the exodus stopped before they leave the US! We want’em out and I hear Mexican jail/prison is not fun. 🤞)

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

(Mum's the word then... Let the screams of joy be contained until the exodus has concluded.)

We can help **surreptitiously of course** those departing -- gladly accepted will be donations of catapults, ropes, sweatbands, shovels [for the rat-fuckers who prefer to dig under], and lemonade stands so they can't use dehydration as an excuse to not go on. Let's give these guys a helping heave-ho! See ya! Buh-bye!

Wis's avatar

😅👏Fabulous!

Frances López's avatar

"Exodus." Yes, like cockroaches after the premises have been sprayed for pests. May they end up on their backs with their legs feebly flailing.

Michael Stayton's avatar

Breaking News: Both Mexico and Canada have announced that they will be building detention centers to hold illegal Republicans crossing their borders while waiting for the slower than usual immigration courts. "We will model these detention centers after the American version complete with overcrowding, minimal bathroom amenities and lack of medical facilities."

Wis's avatar

America continues to be a role model for the world, setting high efficiency standards in death camp conditions (an honor previously held by Nazi Germany.)

Jerr's avatar

I can see it now, a convoy of US government vans headed south, hoping to find a South American country that will not extradite the pedophilias, rapists, and most of all the tRump family members that have stolen billions from this country. Hopefully most of the MAGAts will follow Dumpy.

SUZANNE Marie McAdam's avatar

Jerr, I would recommend avoiding Venezuela

Annette's avatar

<standing ovation>

Sean M Carlin's avatar

And the NYSE and NASDAQ rose in after hours trading!

howard levitt's avatar

When Stephen Miller was caught burrowing under the wall, he said "Well what did you expect, some climb, rodents dig."

Jerr's avatar

And the snakes follow the rodents since they don't do anything but slither around on their bellies, just like Miller.

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

Consistent with his ratfuckery.

OldFlyer √'s avatar

loved the SNL skit

"Where'd Stephen Miller go?"

"Dunno someone brought in a bible and Miller ran away- up i the rafters i think"

Dr Jim's avatar

LOCK HER UP! LOCK HER UP! ( send her Cecot, if El Salvador will take her)

Nancy Morgan LeBar's avatar

Cecot, El Salvador.....wonder how much we would need to pay them.

Darrell Smith's avatar

Claudia is right. There are just a handful of Republicans who aren't criminals.

Irna Gadd's avatar

The photo - brilliant! Confucius was right: it's worth 1,000 words. And (no surprise), your last line, Andy, is as perfect as is the photo: “Today was Pam Bondi,” she warned. “Tomorrow could be Ken Paxton.”

kdsherpa's avatar

Loved the headlines about Blondie facing "serious cancer diagnosis." Cancer, yes. Serious? No. Thyroid cancer is one of the easiest cancers to treat, and almost always ends in a cure. (98% 5-year survival rate.) C'mon MSM! Do a little research before you sensationalize. Oh. I forgot. You ALWAYS sensationalize.

Lee Zacha's avatar

Methinks she just talked too much and wore herself out.

Cathy Wampler's avatar

All the lies created a malignancy.

kdsherpa's avatar

Yes. And perhaps the same for noman's husband -- he caught it from her.

Elene Gusch's avatar

I can't stand her, but as a cancer survivor as well as a health care provider, sorry, I have to say that a cancer diagnosis is always serious in some way. Thyroid surgery can go very wrong, as can radiation, and subsequent thyroid replacement can be tricky.

kdsherpa's avatar

I truly appreciate your comment. I think I'm just so fed up with the MSM that I'll find something wrong with whatever they write.

bruce schneider's avatar

Papillary or follicular usually go we.. But if it's C-cell or anaplastic, another story.

bruce schneider's avatar

That's if it's papillary or follicular. C-cell or anaplastic may not be that simple. But the former two are the most common.
