Anyone else willing to give up swearing in Adelita Grijalva permanently if Maga Mike will stay in a permanent coma? (P.S. Just kidding but if Mikey’s out, would a “Speaker Pro Tempore” take over for him — and who might that be?)
I would totally give up swearing for that. However that would mean giving up my identity as a C.U. Next Tuesday. I don’t know what would become of me.🤷🏻♀️
Well, damnit, Mr Borowitz, yet again, you’ve succeeded in leading me to the NOT pretty sight of spewing my drink in a public place while reading your headline….and then being kindly asked by a young waiter if I’m “okay” and was I “laughing or crying”? Hell, I’m not sure I understand the difference anymore. But thank you anyway!
Janele ~ caffeine spewing may became a new Olympic sport . . . and I believe, is now an official characteristic of any TBRer. I proudly consider myself one of them and have the roll of paper towels at the ready, to prove it :)
They are all the lowest form of shit! And now Pam Bondi and Earl Bove are going to “settle” Trump’s claims of frivolous litigation against him by the newly renamed Department of Vengeance and pay the 🍊💩$230 million. Hopefully congress doesn’t approve the appropriation, no democrat senators should approve it!
Must admit, I agree with you on 'snake in the grass' Miller. 🐍 However, the religious hypocrite, t-Rump syncophant, & liar well deserves the Runner Up title.
Fully agree. Suspect it's not just Trump he is concerned about. Remember PizzaGate? It's been my observation the GOP has a history of creating conspiracy theories based on what they actually are doing. Kind of like the adulterous spouse who accuses their spouse of cheating when it's really them. Analyze Qanon FOX and GOP news scoops over time. Look at the recent DOJ actions then compare the charges to The Fascist in Chief's. Real Estate fraud, confidential document theft etc. Then listen to their propaganda. I just can't see how MagaWorld is so snowed and oblivious. Especially now.
Absolutely!!! I have been seeing the same pattern. "When someone shows you who they are, believe them the first time." ~Maya Angelou. I think "projection" should be the word of the year.
What gets me is you don't really have to listen that hard. As Hubble said today, they figure if they do their corruption right out in public, they can just say politics as usual.
I truly believe there is a special place in hell for all of this administration . . . from tRump all the way down to Stepford Christian wife and republican sweetheart, Katie Britt (who seems to be inserting herself into as many photo ops as she can).
he, and Miller, are lower than tRump, even if just logistically, because they're closer to the ground. Wonder what Ernie, the Keebler Elf, would think of being paired with a vampire? Bet he can't pull his cross out of his bible fast enough.
Well that makes sense. I had heard he was lying face down in his office, feigning death, hoping the reporters would sense the awkwardness of the moment and just leave.
I love and miss The Far Side! Gary Larson had me in stitches for years❣️ Sooo good! I hope Gary is happy somewhere 🙏…he sure contributed to the planets and it’s inhabitants welfare❣️🙏
Oh thank you…I had read/heard that Gary became a recluse and disillusioned with people simply grabbing his art without his permission.Which I get. Too many are artists taken advantage of. Is this an official site then? Do you know if Gary Larson benefits financially? I know there are many places that just fleece his genius and hard work. Thanks 🙏
Indeed. One of the reasons I liked the late Steve Allen. He was not afraid to be silly. Also why I like all the Pink Panther movies. Where is Inspector Clouseau when he is needed, to be investigating at Mar-a-Lago, the White House & smuggled aboard Air Force One? We need a hero, even a bumbling one.
I can appreciate that, Susan. I've always said my husband didn't have a sense of humor, until he met me. And after 46+ years together, he's doing quite well for himself.
Very happy to hear that Annette. Not everyone manages to gain a sense of humor. My older step-son's now ex wife was one of those. And I have a sister who will never have a sense of humor - not too surprising for a sociopath.
😂😂. Me too. I‘m not leaving my dog 🐾 🐾 but I‘d move the earth, Andy to find a smart, funny intelligent man who thinks I’m witty too. While the wish list is out -integrity and loyalty are essential 😂😂
Way way back in the day, in one of my college classes the instructor asked us to list 10 character traits that we believed essential to a good relationship / marriage. At the top of most of the other students' lists was good-looking (handsome or pretty or even beautiful) followed by things like handiness, fun, smart ... #1 on my list was moral and ethical integrity, followed by compassion, kindness, sense of humor... I was the only one in the class who thought these attributes were important. *sigh*
I did, even before I knew those were my criteria -- but alas, there were external forces that parted us, and after that, well, no one else came close enough. He was lovely though -- kinda looked like Igor in Young Frankenstein, had bony legs and wore squeaky sandals, and had an acute wit & quick mind, was so kind and loving to all he encountered, wanted window boxes with geraniums, and danced with me in the kitchen and and made amazing art. He was a sweetheart, and I so wish we could have been together through the years and not just for such an ephemerally brief time...
Elizabeth, I found one like that almost 18 years ago (we've been married just over 17). I don't think I had a conscious wish list, but those are the characteristics I was looking for, and someone who was trustworthy. I had an easy test for the latter: how he handled knowledge of my difficult past. He passed that test with flying colors. I met my husband on a world cruise, on an excursion in the jungles of Panama. You never know where you will find the right person.
What a lovely, wonderful story, Susan! ♥️ And 2 excellent criteria -- trustworthiness and how one handles knowledge of a difficult past -- and very important for so many of us.
And yep, you never know where you will find the right person... Keep the heart open...
in a battlefield tank? A trip down stairs? A falling White House chandelier? A chunk of cement flung from the ballroom construction? A tilting-in-the-wind yellow umbrella
Those will do, but I sure was kinda hoping for a swift kick in the ass that lands him in the pokey along with all the rest of tRUMP's nefariously malignant minions.
I envision a Chatty Cathy doll with a voice box implanted in her/his back. You pull the ring attached to a string & it activates pithy sayings, some of which might even be true. "My name is ________."
I thought he was already in one😵💫
I swear that was my first thought, after laughing out loud
He's a new kind of zombie. The walking brain dead.
The Squeaker and my brain dead maga rep. I've come to believe these folks are the walking dead.
Will his head still bobble whenever tRump speaks?
It will still bobble up and down in total agreement with Trump, with lips puckered
to deep-kiss.
You’re thinking of Mike Pence! AKA ‘Mr. Bobblehead’!
Anyone else willing to give up swearing in Adelita Grijalva permanently if Maga Mike will stay in a permanent coma? (P.S. Just kidding but if Mikey’s out, would a “Speaker Pro Tempore” take over for him — and who might that be?)
Reading too quickly, I thought you were asking if I was willing to give up swearing. Hah!
Well, that's not happening for at three plus years!
For a moment I did too! Ha!
I would totally give up swearing for that. However that would mean giving up my identity as a C.U. Next Tuesday. I don’t know what would become of me.🤷🏻♀️
You’re adorable
Hah! See my edited comment…
Thanks!
Evangelical Christians don’t swear.
Instead of swearing, they fuck their country.
with no pleasure or orgasm from any of the fifty states!
Right! Their obscenities are more deeply rooted and more harmful!
Or so they say
I'm trying to recall if Dante had a circle for fraudulent followers.
Bull!!
No one good!
I started to write the exact same comment!!!
Great comment you are right.
To riff of of "Virgin Monk Boy", a fellow TBR-er, that's simply substitute youth pastor
mealy-mouth!
Beat me to it. 😆😆😆😆
👏👏👏👏
Ha!!!

Coffee spitting has become an Olympic sport at our house.
great idea! let's send a suggestion to the Olympic Committee to add coffee spitting!
Susan -- Regular or decaf?
I’m not alone then! 😍
There's no greater compliment than the spit take. Well done, Andy!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Janele ~ caffeine spewing may became a new Olympic sport . . . and I believe, is now an official characteristic of any TBRer. I proudly consider myself one of them and have the roll of paper towels at the ready, to prove it :)
Mike Johnson is the lowest form of life almost as low as Trump.
No Stephen Miller still reigns supreme as tue lowest firm of life. He is the engineer of all of this crap.
Don't forget Russell Voight! HE really is the evil brain behind this. Dilldi Head Miller wants to get rid of POC.
Don't forget Peter Theil!
Yeah, he and his money inserting all these tools!.
They are all the lowest form of shit! And now Pam Bondi and Earl Bove are going to “settle” Trump’s claims of frivolous litigation against him by the newly renamed Department of Vengeance and pay the 🍊💩$230 million. Hopefully congress doesn’t approve the appropriation, no democrat senators should approve it!

If you listen hard enough someone will tell you their bad intentions
What gets me is you don't really have to listen that hard. As Hubble said today, they figure if they do their corruption right out in public, they can just say politics as usual.
I truly believe there is a special place in hell for all of this administration . . . from tRump all the way down to Stepford Christian wife and republican sweetheart, Katie Britt (who seems to be inserting herself into as many photo ops as she can).
stephen miller, spawn of the devil, wins by a landslide.
Miller's so bad, Satan won't even claim he knows who Miller is.
Almost, yet the difference measured in centimeters!
he, and Miller, are lower than tRump, even if just logistically, because they're closer to the ground. Wonder what Ernie, the Keebler Elf, would think of being paired with a vampire? Bet he can't pull his cross out of his bible fast enough.
Well that makes sense. I had heard he was lying face down in his office, feigning death, hoping the reporters would sense the awkwardness of the moment and just leave.
He probably made just as much sense to the reporters while feigning death as when fully upright and seemingly conscious????
Yep, that's right!
😂😂. Remember that Far Side cartoon?😂😂
I think that was my inspiration!
I love and miss The Far Side! Gary Larson had me in stitches for years❣️ Sooo good! I hope Gary is happy somewhere 🙏…he sure contributed to the planets and it’s inhabitants welfare❣️🙏
Gary Larson and "The Far Side" are alive and well:
https://www.thefarside.com/
Oh thank you…I had read/heard that Gary became a recluse and disillusioned with people simply grabbing his art without his permission.Which I get. Too many are artists taken advantage of. Is this an official site then? Do you know if Gary Larson benefits financially? I know there are many places that just fleece his genius and hard work. Thanks 🙏
He did for a while. https://www.thefarside.com/about explains that it really is for real and https://www.thefarside.com/about/48/a-letter-from-gary-larson is a letter from Gary Larson explaining his journey.
the "prison for the mentally deranged" is most appropriate.
Yes, I get a Far Side calendar every year. Although some are oldies but goodies, I get a laugh every day.
--while now we live on the Far Side of Ding-battery and Dumbassery!
Don't forget ratfuckery! And batshittery!
He lies whether he's face down, doing push-ups, or peeling a banana. And always when he's breathing.
Butt how could he keep lying while face down? Why, he was talking out his ass, of course. It smells the same either way...
he lies when he opens his mouth . . . how he doesn't break out in a fit of laughter with some of the sh*t he says, is beyond me
😅 lmao!! Great one, Come To This!
Instead, they just laughed! One reporter wanted to throw his shoe to revive him!
AB….there are times I consider leaving my husband for you!!!!🥰
Thank you! Although I’m not sure how my wife would feel about that 😀
I don’t have a husband to leave, but I would love to find a husband as clever and funny as you!
That may be tough because Andy has set the bar very high.
I have a husband who is quite funny. Not as funny as AB, but he's great at word play and being silly. Which I love.
Silliness is a greatly under-rated quality and tops in my book!
Indeed. One of the reasons I liked the late Steve Allen. He was not afraid to be silly. Also why I like all the Pink Panther movies. Where is Inspector Clouseau when he is needed, to be investigating at Mar-a-Lago, the White House & smuggled aboard Air Force One? We need a hero, even a bumbling one.
I agree with you completely. Silliness helps keep us sane.
I can appreciate that, Susan. I've always said my husband didn't have a sense of humor, until he met me. And after 46+ years together, he's doing quite well for himself.
Very happy to hear that Annette. Not everyone manages to gain a sense of humor. My older step-son's now ex wife was one of those. And I have a sister who will never have a sense of humor - not too surprising for a sociopath.

♥️ 🐆. I love that Susan! So glad you found your ♥️one to cruise 🚢 with ❣️
😂😂. Me too. I‘m not leaving my dog 🐾 🐾 but I‘d move the earth, Andy to find a smart, funny intelligent man who thinks I’m witty too. While the wish list is out -integrity and loyalty are essential 😂😂

I‘m with you, Floofie❣️😂😂
I found one just like that and he joined the stardust almost 5 years ago. I miss him every day. Keep looking and if you find one, hold on tight!
♥️ 💫 ⭐️. I can feel someone winking 😉 from up above, Pam❣️⭐️💫⭐️. Take good care and thanks for the sweet words ❣️🙏
♥️♥️♥️
<3
Floofie - Did you find a guy who matched your criteria?
I did, even before I knew those were my criteria -- but alas, there were external forces that parted us, and after that, well, no one else came close enough. He was lovely though -- kinda looked like Igor in Young Frankenstein, had bony legs and wore squeaky sandals, and had an acute wit & quick mind, was so kind and loving to all he encountered, wanted window boxes with geraniums, and danced with me in the kitchen and and made amazing art. He was a sweetheart, and I so wish we could have been together through the years and not just for such an ephemerally brief time...
You were the only advanced one in the class!

♥️
Elisabeth - I wish you all the best in your search. Linda found me 37+ years ago and seems to think I have these qualities. Never give up!
Well! How sweet are you! Thanks, Jon! That is so nice of you to say❣️🙏
hahahaha 😂. Andy, I’m pretty sure we all know how your wife feels about that!!! 😂😂
A harem in New Hampshire?
I’ve thought the same. And I’m from Utah, so maybe multiple spouses?
That’s another story…!!!!🙃
😂😂. ♥️
😂😂
I swear I have seen Cheren (children) from Louisiana that have more brains that this goombah has.
Forrest Gump comes to mind…
Mr. Gump was not malicious!
At least Forest had the sense to RUN
Mike Johnson-from the swamps of Louisiana to make an even more smelly swamp in D.C.!
A TV remote has more circuits than Squeaker Johnson.
So does my electric shaver!
But not more teeth.
I've seen dogs and cats with more brains!
Squeaker of the house😂
I love that . . . so appropriate for the little rat
He’s such a loyal foot-soldier in the war against Epstein’s ghost!
Little Johnson: the Pedophile Protector
It still amazes me how someone who espouses such religious basics can sign on to such amorality and not explode from the cognitive dissonance.
It has exploded within his skull and turned his brain to mush!
that's a prerequisite for any person brought into the administration - mushy brains and no conscience.
Ah yes, that explains it, and the gruel leaking out from his noggin's orifices.
<snort laugh> the imagery is both disgusting and hilarious "gruel leaking out from his noggin's orifices"
I love you Floofie.
Aw, shucks.
does he have a contract with his son about that too?
So darn clever thank you FOR A MUCH NEEDED MOMENT OF HILARITY
A coma? He should have just donated his brain, which apparently he doesn’t need, to be studied under a microscope!
He can't donate his brain. He doesn't have one.
At least it isn't worm-eaten (that we know of) ...
Maybe RFK, jr. shared his worm......
A study which would take a matter of seconds.
If that long!
What's really clever about his strategy is that no one will be able to tell.
Squeaker Johnson is incognito alive or dead.
Sporting the cadaver white drained of blood image daily.
😂😂😂 So true! That tricksy little rat-effer.
Love this. Do you think that the doc's could 'overdose' him and make it permanent, allowing another Speaker to be elected that is pro democracy?
after 11/26 we will have Speaker Jeffries
From your keyboard to God's ears.
Lawd Praying!
Sing out "hallelujah" and rattle that tambourine!
Yes, please! Yes to any Democrat! Yes to AOC!
The cauldron of conspiracy bubbles forth both continually and anew......
Said very Shakespeare-ingly! Well done!
Johnson's been in a self induced coma in order to support the orange one. Karma is coming for them all.
Can we put a rush on that, please?
in a battlefield tank? A trip down stairs? A falling White House chandelier? A chunk of cement flung from the ballroom construction? A tilting-in-the-wind yellow umbrella
from the paved patio that was the Rose Garden?
Those will do, but I sure was kinda hoping for a swift kick in the ass that lands him in the pokey along with all the rest of tRUMP's nefariously malignant minions.
EPSTEIN EPSTEIN EPSTEIN
Here’s wishing that it’s a long, long, medically induced coma. A “Speaker”, who is unable to speak.
I envision a Chatty Cathy doll with a voice box implanted in her/his back. You pull the ring attached to a string & it activates pithy sayings, some of which might even be true. "My name is ________."
Like the alter-ego of “Chuckie”.
So good to know our tax dollars are at work.
