At the end of your life, you will look back and know you did what you could for the country. How satisfying! That's why I go out to these protests. I have to do what I can.
Me, too, Pat Ebervein. Usually I FF past when he's on the screen. If I must know what was said, then I Mute and use the captions.
His voice litereally makes me nauseous. It's worse than his face because on Mute, I can laugh at his bad make-up job, tiny eyes, squishy mouth, and a waddle that Colbert said looked like a Georgia O'Keeffe painting.
The right lip droop has appeared in more than one picture, I believe. Unless he always smirks to the left, looks like isolated weakness of buccal branch of seventh cranial nerve (facial). Could be anything from Bell's to a tumor, but looks local.. Rest of facial muscles look intact (though revolting).
several indications of TIAs... the droop being an obvious one. His gait is another, hand action or lack thereof. Loss of coordination, balance. Unaware of time/place. And - language - deterioration! Commented upon by media in UK. Apparently, staff keeps 'propping' him up, pushing him out the door.
I do not think that bunch is beyond a "Weekend At Donnie's" staging. Dump sucks all the attention out of every day, while they unravel the rights of American citizens. So, as long as they can prop him up and make him do outrageous things, they're happy.
Also, I've seen this with Lyme Disease, AND it's been reported in association with neurosyphilis, one of my ongoing diagnostic possibilities, given his mental state and known predilections.
Geez, I hope you're right about him not lasting long. But, I remember all the rumors about Putin being deathly ill years ago, and it definitely wasn't "deathly" enough.
I’m so sorry about your mother, but that’s exactly what it looks like: that he had a stroke. One side is his angry mouth, the other is a twisted version of a smile. And he never smiles!
Kate! I love your verses! You are really smart and subversive and witty.
Are there any more like you at home?
I would have written you a letter but, perhaps in response to all the triggering by Trump, I developed trigger finger(s) on my good right hand and can’t hold a pen
But I won’t despair. It may be Gauche or even Sinister, but I’ll use my right brain and my left hand.
"Close, but no Qatar" -- absolutely priceless. BTW, I researched tall buildings in Qatar, and even though they have some tall ones, they are no match for Dubai.
Stanza 2, classic! I confess I became your BIG fan upon seeing your masterpiece, “A Day in the Life of a Maine Clam Fisherman.” I bow to your genius, pal. ❤️
Trumpstein first offered a fully-staffed Pentagon, but that deal fell through when Kegeseth was included. Even corrupt despots have their limits our Great Leader found out.
The Frauds of Honor room, with a plaque memorializing those who have dedicated their service to Donald J. Trump. Recipients to date include: Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, Allen Weisselberg, Kenneth Chesebro, Jenna Ellis, and Rick Gates.
The Double -Wattled Cassowary in the White House was too rattled by his own Dorian Grey portrait to figure out a response. He's still worried Bette Midler might belt out a new one for No Kings Day.
In a related development Mohammed Bin Salman has expressed disappointment that he had been promised Mar A Lago as a reward for Saudi Arabia's investments with Jared Kushner, the President's son in law. But in a grand gesture of reconciliation Bin Salman said he would gracefully accept an airbase in Idaho as long as it was near Boise, a place he has become fond of. "It has a lot of water" was his comment.
I wonder why Putin hasn't put those files on eBay. He could build himself another few golden castles as he watches Agent Orange explode. I'm sure his hackers have the files. He's waiting for the right time...
Hopefully, like me, you will be on the street Saturday protesting against the puppet buffoon and his puppeteers, Miller and Vought. It's up to the people. At 84 I am Philly strong!
Amen - thank you for your voice. Unfortunately I will be out of town, but I've heard my local rally is going to experience a counter-rally by a Charlie Kirk group. I will pray for all protesters this weekend. Be safe out there!
What a great way to start my day! You’re the best!
I can’t tell you how much this means to me. I love working for all of you.
Oh, Andy! Truly! You keep me sane! Your daily missives help me laugh through the pain! You are a blessing to us all!
Yes, Andy is my blood pressure medicine!
You have earned "Employee of the Year."
I don't know how I would cope without you and TBR! I literally get upset when I don't have my TBR.
Yeah, it's like tantrum city.
And you work hard to make the disgusting, frightening and deplorable funny! That is a true gift you share with us! Thank you!
At the end of your life, you will look back and know you did what you could for the country. How satisfying! That's why I go out to these protests. I have to do what I can.
Yes! Worldwide No Kings Day, October 18.
Maybe we’ll all be in the same re-education camp!
You are a bright ray of sun shining forth from the septic tank of trumpism!
I need brain bleach after that image.
I've needed brain bleach since 2016, but who's counting?
🤣🤣🤣
Andy, you deserve the “Keeping the Peace Prize” - I’d be insane without your humor.
We like you, too. More canine pics PLEASE...asking for a friend
You took the words out of my mouth, Suzi.
I couldn't agree more. I check the weather and then check to see if Andy has posted something to brighten my day.
Exactly!
I check for TBR before I look for anything else!
Andy brightens the state of affairs and the weather.
While I can’t stand to look at his face that pic is hilarious Andy!! He is such a buffoon.
I try to avoid his picture but looked at this one after reading your comment. Looks like my mom’s face after her stroke.
Even worse, trying to avoid his voice. Listening to him literally makes me feel sick. I use closed captions and turn off the sound when he speaks.
I don’t even watch!
I can't stand the sight of him or the sound of his voice. Absolutely noxious!
Me, too.
With you there!
Me, too, Pat Ebervein. Usually I FF past when he's on the screen. If I must know what was said, then I Mute and use the captions.
His voice litereally makes me nauseous. It's worse than his face because on Mute, I can laugh at his bad make-up job, tiny eyes, squishy mouth, and a waddle that Colbert said looked like a Georgia O'Keeffe painting.
@Billsburg, the lip droop is exactly what I saw first. He may not last long and that may be the plan behind the scenes all along.
The right lip droop has appeared in more than one picture, I believe. Unless he always smirks to the left, looks like isolated weakness of buccal branch of seventh cranial nerve (facial). Could be anything from Bell's to a tumor, but looks local.. Rest of facial muscles look intact (though revolting).
several indications of TIAs... the droop being an obvious one. His gait is another, hand action or lack thereof. Loss of coordination, balance. Unaware of time/place. And - language - deterioration! Commented upon by media in UK. Apparently, staff keeps 'propping' him up, pushing him out the door.
Yes, he looks and walks like a human sofa.
Uh-oh! Human sofa Dump might get jumped by Vance.
Oh, I can picture it. It’s “Weekend at Bernie’s.”
I do not think that bunch is beyond a "Weekend At Donnie's" staging. Dump sucks all the attention out of every day, while they unravel the rights of American citizens. So, as long as they can prop him up and make him do outrageous things, they're happy.
Thoughts and prayers……..(sarcasm)
(Sarcasm) not necessary. One can have atypical thoughts and prayers. This case warrants them.
See photos of him at last month's 9/11 memorial. The right side of his mouth is clearly drooping. https://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/president-donald-trump-attends-a-september-11th-observance-news-photo/2234860395
Yes, it is a continuing issue.
Thanks for the detail.
Medical school was way tougher than law school, I dated a med-student back in the day.
Also, I've seen this with Lyme Disease, AND it's been reported in association with neurosyphilis, one of my ongoing diagnostic possibilities, given his mental state and known predilections.
Neurosyphilis gets my vote.
Syphilis and Lyme Disease - a germaphobe's nightmare, oh my.
Geez, I hope you're right about him not lasting long. But, I remember all the rumors about Putin being deathly ill years ago, and it definitely wasn't "deathly" enough.
There’s so much speculation about Putin’s health that there’s a Wikipedia page on it:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Claims_of_Vladimir_Putin%27s_incapacity_and_death
That was my reaction to this photo as well. Something is going on with this "perfectly healthy" man.
I’m so sorry about your mother, but that’s exactly what it looks like: that he had a stroke. One side is his angry mouth, the other is a twisted version of a smile. And he never smiles!
It’s such a great picture that screams many words.
We should vote this picture or the new TIME magazine cover . And the hits just keep on comin'!
I am enjoying the smile on the Emir's face.
I can't stand to see his face or hear his voice. My worst nightmare ever. Andy is my savior!
Love the look on the sheik’s face. And the contrast between the soft, lily white hand next to that orange face
Qataris at Mar-A-Lago?
They’ve got to be fools; or brave.
For the short -term Fate
Of the Sunshine State
Is to sink beneath the waves.
The Qataris may try to stop the sea,
Saving dunes and planting grass;
Bear in mind, of course,
An abundant source: all the sand
Pounded up Trump’s ass.
And the locals may not be happy
The Qataris will go too far;
Building towers that reach up to the sky
Like the skyscrapers in nearby Dubai,
Close, but no Qatar.
Kate! I love your verses! You are really smart and subversive and witty.
Are there any more like you at home?
I would have written you a letter but, perhaps in response to all the triggering by Trump, I developed trigger finger(s) on my good right hand and can’t hold a pen

“For the short term fate of the Sunshine State….”
Love it! Maybe that’s why I keep my home in Virginia.
You know, Ms. Swanson - I shall call you “Gloria” from now on.
"Close, but no Qatar" -- absolutely priceless. BTW, I researched tall buildings in Qatar, and even though they have some tall ones, they are no match for Dubai.
:-) !! Yep.
Stanza 2, classic! I confess I became your BIG fan upon seeing your masterpiece, “A Day in the Life of a Maine Clam Fisherman.” I bow to your genius, pal. ❤️
Trumpstein first offered a fully-staffed Pentagon, but that deal fell through when Kegeseth was included. Even corrupt despots have their limits our Great Leader found out.
Wait until the sheiks see all the dirty diapers!
Is Mar a lardo really an upgrade? Cleaning the ketchup from the restaurant walls will bankrupt their treasury.
and don't even start with unplugging the toilets for discarded documents - apparently there are no paper shredders there?!?!
The shredded documents are thrown in with the compost along with a lot of other things.
by compost, do you mean Melanoma's bedroom? hehehe
Another upgrade: Rename rooms for famous people in the Trump orbit. For starters, The Epstein Suite. I'm sure there are others that come to mind.
Down the hallway from the I-Never-Knew-Her reception room.
the Roy Cohn penthouse
The gold plated two holer Trump Shitter.
BYO Poo Pourri
Hilarious comment!!
There’s gotta be a Golden Shower Room in there somewhere.
The Jes Staley Sauna.
The Maxwell Massage Room!
The Frauds of Honor room, with a plaque memorializing those who have dedicated their service to Donald J. Trump. Recipients to date include: Roger Stone, Paul Manafort, Michael Cohen, Michael Flynn, Steve Bannon, Allen Weisselberg, Kenneth Chesebro, Jenna Ellis, and Rick Gates.
The Epstein Sweet.
The Double -Wattled Cassowary in the White House was too rattled by his own Dorian Grey portrait to figure out a response. He's still worried Bette Midler might belt out a new one for No Kings Day.
She already did! Last night, on Colbert, she sang the perfect lyrics—acapella, no less!
Yes, beautiful!
The best portraits of Dump are in South Park.
If only Better Midler would belt him in the mouth!
Thanks, Andy. Laughing through my tears again. I'm going down fast, but your wit is like one more gasp of what we all need: art, our last best hope.
We all are extremely happy that you don't work for those craven companies. You are a breath of fresh air and a rainbow after a trump shit storm!
Yes. Andy Borowitz's moving out of the Corporate Orbit and into Substack seems to have been a move made in Heaven.
--and especially on earth!
Excellent! Yes! :-) !!

Crown Prince Bonesaw, meet Corporal Bonespurs. Get to work!
Yet another home run today, Andy. Keep 'em coming!
Meanwhile. the U.A.E offered 300 million for the Epstein files.
I wonder why Putin hasn't put those files on eBay. He could build himself another few golden castles as he watches Agent Orange explode. I'm sure his hackers have the files. He's waiting for the right time...
Agent Orange: Fantastic!
They outbid Putin?!
And Trump considers any best offer a sale! Haggling makes him nervous, he wants the cash NOW.
Not to mention the mosque alongside…Hegseth attending has his flask confiscated.
Truly, this is one of the best ideas yet.
Thank you for my first smile of the day! There hasn't been much to smile about lately, but you manage to find the humor.😁
Hopefully, like me, you will be on the street Saturday protesting against the puppet buffoon and his puppeteers, Miller and Vought. It's up to the people. At 84 I am Philly strong!

Our local Charlie Kirk fan club was out on Main Street yesterday. I'm sure they will show up Saturday, but WE THE PEOPLE will out number them.
that's the spirit . . . they have every right to share their voices, even when they're terribly, terribly wrong
