He's Trump's special boy...

Wis's avatar

Another trump casualty, though infinitely less tragic than all the others.

Linda McCaughey's avatar

Willing casualties don't count.

Karma's just a bitch in clown shoes, isn't she?

I'm stealing this.

Vicki's avatar

Carole! So good today. Love seeing your name and clever response here:) V.

Mark D Olson's avatar

Exactly. How would they ever know the difference?

Linda MacDonald's avatar

😂😂😂"We are confident that Marco Rubio’s coma will in no way affect his performance as Secretary of State.”

Truer words were never writen OR spoken. The putin statue...icing on the gulag so to speak.😂😂😂

Pradnya Sikand's avatar

😂😂And now Karoline will be jumping up and down reassuring us that being comatose is the new normal! 😂

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

"A coma is such a restful state! Being conscious is woke!"

Al Keim's avatar

Woah -and I hear Florida is full of dead woke's.

Carol Ring's avatar

I think Karoline gets the idea of "comatose is the new normal" from watching Felon47 regularly fall asleep during meetings.

Irna Gadd's avatar

Felon47 is such a great moniker, Carol! It’s also much easier to write than “Felon-in-Chief,” which is what I call him most often. I saw “Harangutan” in someone’s comment on an earlier TBR and use it from time to time, and now will refer to him as Felon47, with your permission.

Carol Ring's avatar

You are totally free to use Felon47 as the name for the Orange one. I saw it sometime in the past online, so it isn't my creation.

Irna Gadd's avatar

I guess it’s an indication of community spirit and service to provide and share information. We’re proving we aren’t greedy and wanting everything for ourselves only, unlike everyone in the swamp. Each of them wants as much as possible for themselves alone, and don’t give a damn about anyone else.

Linda MacDonald's avatar

😂😂she is really a piece of work!

Pradnya Sikand's avatar

😂A snarky ignoramus ! 😉

Ellen Harris's avatar

You have to wonder if she really believes the crap she piles up on a regular basis. Not sure we’ve ever heard her speak the truth.

Octavia Redwood's avatar

she doesn't speak 'truth' she only speaks slimeball

Annette's avatar

actually, she doesn't even speak, she "parrots"

Linda MacDonald's avatar

She has not spoken the truth for years! She is a maga cult member.

Al Keim's avatar

Tripping over his tose is what caused his coma.

Bill Morgan's avatar

A failed Congressional candidate

Annette's avatar

if only she would practice what she preached

Stephen Brady's avatar

I assume tRump's statue of Kim Jong Un is upstairs next to his bed? edit: f^^^^^g spellcheck turned 'Jong' into 'John". Fixed it.

Linda MacDonald's avatar

😂😂😂very likely

Annette's avatar

Kim Jong Un is on one side . . . Netanyahu's statute is on the other side

þórunn Sleight's avatar

Don't use annoying spell-check. I don't!

Margaret Leibowitz's avatar

His head barely missed a another newly installed bust of Ghislaine Maxwell.

Marmo's avatar

Or, Margaret Leibowitz, is it a statue of Ghislaine Maxwell's bust?

As a former shoe salesman, I object to your failure to credit the salesperson responsible for selling the misfit pair.

DebbieM (OH)'s avatar

Thank you to all shoe salespeople everywhere. Please provide the appropriate shoes to donnie asap. I've heard cement shoes are best for walking on water, as I'm sure donnie thinks he can do.

Frau Katze's avatar

lol 😺😺😺

Irna Gadd's avatar

👏👏👏👏👏

Jonathan Aborn's avatar

Al Bundy, where are you. Our survival is on your shoulders.

Kathy Lee Davis's avatar

Don't worry the shoe salesman will be awarded some government position . . . that is totally unqualified for.

Mincedwords1's avatar

I would take offense on behalf of shoe salesmen if your comment wasn't true.

Kathy Lee Davis's avatar

Oh - don't misunderstand the shoe salesman-even though maybe unqualified, would be much more productive xoxo

Linda McCaughey's avatar

How do you do it? Just when I think I will never laugh again, Borowitz arrives to save my sanity and provide a rush of endorphins!! Bless you, my son!!!

Al Keim's avatar

May the farce be with you.

Ward Pallotta's avatar

Rubio was actually clicking his heels together and whispering, "I want to go home."

Irna Gadd's avatar

👏👏👏👏

Annette's avatar

<standing ovation>

Ralph Porter's avatar

Rubio was in a coma long before going down on Valdemir Putin.

Marmo's avatar

🤣🤣🤣!

Is Marco Rubio’s future turning dark because Markwayne Billybob is an anti-pastrite? Let me explain:

Everybody knows that Rubio is Secretary of State and National Security Advisor and Chief Archivist of the U.S. and Director of the Library of Congress and that he sits on the boards of the Donald-Trump-and-some-other-guy Center for the Performing Arts, the Smithsonian, and the National Quilting Bee. Fewer may be aware that he is also Deputy Assistant Doorkeeper at the White House and First Vacation Replacement Elevator Operator at the Washington Monument, nor that during the school year he drives a K-3 school-bus route in Arlington and that he has a WaPo route in Georgetown. It’s said, by the way, he also DJs Sunday nights at a strip club in Arlington under an assumed name, but he denies it, saying “I use that time to bond with my family. Do you think I’m nuts?”

What has been kept sub rosa is that for the last year Rubio has been serving as Head Pastry Chef at the DHS executive dining room. Said Kristi Noem “I like my croissants flaky, like me, and they tell me the best, south of the Corn Palace in Mitchell, come from Calle Ocho, and Mario auditioned for the slot and won it fair and square. And he hasn’t missed a day! Why do you think Jared has had to do all the leg-work for State?” But now her proposed successor has said he will close down that department: “Nobody needs nothin more to complete a meal than a biscuit to mop up the gravy and a piece of pie, and my momma will be supplying those from her kitchen in Broken Arrow. Her biscuits are nice and solid, like a bocce ball, like God intended. But don’t call me a ‘rabid anti-pastrite’, dammit! If someone needs a gluten fix, he can bring it in in his pocket, I won’t say nothin.”

Says Marco “I have a family to support, and if I lose the DHS gig, I don’t see how I can make ends meet on just four government salaries plus odds and ends. I may have to chuck it all and just go be Viceroy of Cuba where I am appreciated, beloved even. *Then* maybe my daddy will stop calling me un bueno para nada parásito! It worked for Cristóbal Colon.”

HAHAHAHAHAHA (but en Español...)

Christina  A.'s avatar

HAHAHA would be spelled JAJAJA in Spanish.

Al Keim's avatar

Huh, I thought that was yes somewheres.

Christina  A.'s avatar

I am German and worked in Spain for 22 years. Yes, it is yes in German and I was puzzled when I received such a JAJAJA reply to an email.

Irna Gadd's avatar

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 - to both Sandra’s and Christina A’s comments.

Bill Morgan's avatar

I find it scariest that he drives a bus load of school kids

Annette's avatar

what keeps me up at night is that he is also the "First Vacation Replacement Elevator Operator at the Washington Monument"

Clym Yeobright's avatar

He looks so cute in his elevator boy costume, with the little pillbox hat, like an organ-grinder’s friend lol

Pradnya Sikand's avatar

😂Little Marco is Court Jester and wears motley and many clown hats ! 😂

Deborah Boller's avatar

HHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA This deserves a Pulitzer, but he's probably on the committee.

Annette's avatar

<standing ovation>

Clym Yeobright's avatar

TY I hoped you’d like it

Sandra's avatar

Robots have a brain?

Donard Engle's avatar

Sorry it wasn't Trump!

Kathy Lee Davis's avatar

No heart, no brain, no courage (bone spurs)

Linda Andres's avatar

I've lost any respect that I ever hsd for Rubio as he supported trump's every move. There are so many malignant trump orders that he has followed without reservation. The most painful one was the demolition of USAID. It meant the demolition and death of countless people, including newborns, who depended on the aid for survival. Rubio maintained that no one had died because of the end to USAID. He lied and the suffering and deaths continue.

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

Is there a tRump cabinet member who isn’t responsible for deaths of innocent people?

Mary F Englebert's avatar

You had respect for Little Marco?

Al Keim's avatar

Yeah, I still cogitating ,,,

Sheryl Thompson's avatar

For a bunch of men who constantly scream how manly and macho they are - they sure do grovel daily (wearing the same ill fitting shoes is a hilarious grovel to the cult leader).

Annette's avatar

well, they have been wearing the MAGA hats and underwear for awhile...

Sheila McEntee's avatar

My dog wants to know why I am laughing so much. He loves the Monday gaiety! 🤣❤️

Golden Rule's avatar

Now let's have Petey Dogs breath navigate those same stairs in his new sh#t kickers & see how he fares.

Annette's avatar

yeah . . . big man, Secretary of WAR, slipping on a step, ruffling his coiffure and bashing his empty noggin

Anne J's avatar

Encouraging news that the coma will not affect his performance. Always nice when the medical professionals can confirm continuity of service.

Mary F Englebert's avatar

Frankly, I think Rubio is faking that coma. It's about the only way out for him, short of faking his own death.
