Finally, recognition he deserves!

Cindy Froggatt's avatar

And the very special prize must be accepted by Trump in person, right?

Greeted with golden handcuffs

Cindy Froggatt's avatar

Let’s just call them “golden jewelry” so as not to tip him off

Matching golden friendship bracelets for Bibi and Vladdy.

I hear it will be presented in the Donald J. Trump - Hermann Göring ‘Never Forget’ Ballroom in The Hague - that should guarantee his attendance!

Moe G's avatar

Love your comment. Very appropriate. You do realize Trump has no idea what you are talking about!

Susan Fernbach's avatar

But Steven Miller does…

Clym Yeobright's avatar

And Steve’s mad as hell about it: “Bastards stole the name I wanted for *our* ballroom!”

That's the quietly menacing one I worry most about. Ice cold frog's blood (poisonous) in his veins.

Adam Stoler's avatar

sick very sick mentally disturbed mother fucker

Your Illegal Martian's avatar

I'd daresay he has the xenomorph's blood from the Alien movies. He almost looks like he could be a xenomorph's offspring.

Cindy Froggatt's avatar

Susan - he spells his first name S A T A N

Your Illegal Martian's avatar

Then his middle name must be Beelzebub.

D ODonnell's avatar

“And there’s the rub.”

Your Illegal Martian's avatar

Nosferatu should be there as well with Petey Kegsbreath.

Wendy Tucker's avatar

It's true. He would have absolutely no idea. But he probably wouldn't want to share it with Bibi. He never learned to 'share well'. Mommy was too busy teasing her hair and Daddy refusing to rent to non-white tenants.

The most admirable family in America, ever. If you like scorpions.

with handcuffs big enough for his tiny hands

Many a criminal has been arrested by responding to being contacted and told they had one a lottery or something but have to come in to the office to receive it.

So out of undeserved deference for trump’s desires (and a desire to keep the Netherlands from being the first nation to be nuked by trump), as soon as he arrives in The Hague, trump is quickly presented with gold spray painted handcuffs that are clamped on his fast-bruising wrists.

Delighted at the sparkle and gleam, trump raises his hands triumphantly to show off his new bracelets. The crowds roar in approval. As he proudly stands there, arms raised, he asks for the pesky chain between the bracelets be removed.

“The antitheft device is still on these things,” he complains to PM Jetten in a scolding, condescending tone. The Prime Minister just smiles as two prison guards flank the president and lead the grouching, oblivious man off the dais.

Susan Stone's avatar

You got my laugh today, Wis. Thanks for making me smile even more than Andy did.

Wendy Tucker's avatar

Perfect perfect perfect. Will there be gold epaulets on his jump suit?

shee-rah's avatar

Let’s not forget the golden ‘anklets.’

Wis's avatar

Goodness! How flattering. But really, it's just that I daydream a lot ;) (Daydreaming helps when I feel helpless...!)

Jon Gabrielsen's avatar

And Dreaming is Free

Debi's avatar

WIS - once again you've created such a delightful image in my mind! LOVE the way your mind works.

Wis's avatar

{hugs} Thank you, Debi! How kind!

LHS's avatar

Jack Smith is very familiar with how the ICC works. 😉

John Townsend's avatar

The ICC should invite him to the proceedings.

M.E. Lawrence's avatar

Smith and Jamie Raskin. And Hillary Rodham Clinton. And E. Jean and Stormy D. and a bunch of other women.

Elisabeth Birker's avatar

I kind of felt he deserved the made up, extra cheesy, FIFA Peace Prize 🏆!!! It’s only too bad he’s too ignorant to understand the implications there! Did I say ignorant?! Sorry, meant to say stupid!!!

Anyway, thanks, Andy❣️

Joanna Rysnik's avatar

and hopefully gets!

Kent Olsen's avatar

Can Putin be invited as well?

Unsafely Anonymous's avatar

An American, an Israeli and a KGB Agent meet in a prison...

Irna Gadd's avatar

I love this! it doesn't need any dialogue or a punchline.

John Townsend's avatar

--and no priest, rabbi, or minister will visit them!

They are at the bar, chugging down Heinekens!

Annette's avatar

<appreciative applause>

Jon Gabrielsen's avatar

Talk About a Cage Fight

Roland Saeger's avatar

And Bibi.

Bruce Maslack's avatar

He’s had a standing invitation already.

Paula Dean's avatar

MBS should be included too. They have a gold plated bone saw award with his name on it.

Jay F's avatar

Obama is invited to be one of the presenters.

John Townsend's avatar

--along with Joe Biden and Kamala Harris!

Jo Burns's avatar

He said with tears in his eyes, no one has done what I have done ever or more bigly. I should be given the goldliest trophy to display behind my gold curtains. I picked out those curtains.

John Townsend's avatar

--don't mind the ketchup stains!

Wendy Tucker's avatar

Laughing laughing! Goldie's -- so clever.

"They asked me to please come on my Qatari jumbo jet, which I'm happy to show off so they can admire it," he continued. "The invitation was partially redacted, but I was able to see through the black ink. It seems they're calling the plane 'Exhibit A' which I think is a cute name for it that they wanted to surprise me with on the trophy."

Clym Yeobright's avatar

Let me guess. Is it the inaugural King Leopold Lifetime Achievement Award?

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

Had to look up King Leopold, spot on!

D ODonnell's avatar

A very, very bad dude. Also loved gold; silver, tungsten, tin, diamonds, of C. Just ravaged the Congo, stripped them blind and broke.

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

Circling back to King Leopold, our own 🍊💩is up to this per a headline in today’s online NY Times-U.S. Considers Withholding H.I.V. Aid Unless Zambia Expands Minerals Access.

Al Gorythm's avatar

Hopefully it’s a full metal jacket medal, sir.

Carol Ring's avatar

He looks sickening.

On Friday afternoon, Liberty University Law School emailed its first and second-year students about an “exciting opportunity to intern with the Department of Labor in DC.” One important caveat: only passionate devotees of President Trump would be considered. Students who “aligned politically with President Trump” and were “willing to work hard” were strongly encouraged to apply, even if they had poor grades.

Liberty University, founded by Jerry Falwell Sr., is a conservative Christian institution based in Lynchburg, Virginia. Falwell Jr., who took over the university after his father died in 2007, was an advisor to Trump.

Brucester's avatar

You left out that he was cremated and buried in a matchbox as he was a con man and that full of it.

Steve Newman's avatar

I wonder if Andy could embed himself and report secretly as our mole on the inside ?

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

Trump and his clown car, republicans and the 6 conservatives on the Supreme Court- they’re all trying to scare us about Sharia Law while trying to bring our country back to the 19th century in every way (except for slavery) in the name of Judeo-Christian values!

nacreplus2's avatar

talk to farm workers, for example, about the slavery part!

Charles Hall's avatar

Trump will issue an Executive Order declaring the 13th Amendment, invalid.

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

The 13th amendment and interracial marriage is where Clarence Thomas will draw the line, no matter what Harlan Crow offers him!

John Townsend's avatar

--while the people will mass to declare an executive order to make Trump invalid!

Charles Hall's avatar

Do not forget Regent University, founded by the wanna be Ayatollah. Pat Robertson. Another "broad minded" institution on the coast of Virginia. Pat and Jerry helped to create this nightmare. I would believe in hell, just for the pleasure of knowing that Pat, Jerry and the recently departed Supreme Leader, were all getting a well earned roasting.

LHS's avatar

And Jerry Falwell, Jr. had quite the scandalous tenure: https://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/americas/liberty-lawsuit-jerry-falwell-jr-sex-scandal-settlement-b2754818.html Of course, I guess he laughed all the way to the bank after LU paid him off. I also did not know about the Michael Cohen connection to Falwell, Jr.

BTAM Master's avatar

Thank you for this link...I had completely forgotten and also did not know about Cohen's connection.

SUZANNE Marie McAdam's avatar

Sounds like they're forming a farm team to replace the

9000 some odd escapees from the Justice Dept. Good

luck. I guess Harvard Law refused the offer.

Debi's avatar

snicker, snicker They are following the Administrations personnel criteria - ONLY CONSIDER THE INCOMPETENT WITH LIMITED EDUCATION AND NO INTEGRITY

Susan Barnes's avatar

This sounds like something Andy would write😄

Debi's avatar

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Steve Newman's avatar

Lock Him Up Lock Him Up Lock Him Up. Personally I'd prefer a treason conviction at home for selling out America and enriching himself and his friends. That said, I'll take what I can get.

Jon Gabrielsen's avatar

I am desperate for The World Court to get involved because I don't think the U.S. Congress or the DOJ have the guts to do what's right, but would be relieved if The World Court did it for them. As would we.

Steve Newman's avatar

Take what we can get buddy .

FOR NOW .

Tricia W's avatar

This is the news we have been waiting for. Thank you, intrepid reporter.

GD's avatar

More winning!!

Bruce Maslack's avatar

I hope he attends to accept his award.

Jon Gabrielsen's avatar

And brigs his entire cabinet along to admire him.

Sarah McAuliffe-Bellin's avatar

I’ve been saying that The Hague needs to give him and Bibi all the due recognition they so rightly deserve. Also got a notification that Andy’s book is to be delivered Monday. Stoked!

Joanie's avatar

A must read, it’s awesome.

Sarah McAuliffe-Bellin's avatar

You know I always forget to choose a local bookstore. I hope they’ll choose for me. Next time I’ll be more careful.

Catherine Schmidt's avatar

Thanks, thanks don’t know how I missed that, ordered. So pleased that you use Book Shop, but not surprised in the least. I support Lark & Owl Booksellers, in the heart of conservative Texas.

Jim McCarthy's avatar

Is this an updated edition? A lot of ignorant politicians have passed our way since the original publication ( e.g., hundreds of pages could be devoted to Trump's Cabinet.)

Irna Gadd's avatar

such a WONDERFUL book -- so well-researched, and so well-written. It's a MUST read!

Sarah McAuliffe-Bellin's avatar

Yup. Idk why it’s taken me longer than usual. But it’s on the way. Also the cartoonist from the New Yorker had a book I sent to a friend who had knee replacement. That book was really good for laughs

Suzi Harkey's avatar

So extremely well deserved!

Kimberly Swanson's avatar

We are traveling in Egypt right now. What Trump (without Congressional approval) and Bibi have started in the Middle East is sickening. We feel safe here and hopefully will leave tomorrow night, but the economic, political,social, and human impacts will last for years. Oh wait. Trump doesn’t care about any of that. The Hague Criminal Court is too good for him.

Rosemary Ehle's avatar

Hi Kimberly. Retired Travel Agent here. The Egyptians respect and appreciate foreign tourists and take care to keep them safe. If CAI is your return airport that should be good as well,

Kimberly Swanson's avatar

Thank you! We are with a wonderful tour group. CAI is our return airport.

D ODonnell's avatar

Be careful, please and get home safely.

Glenn Sills's avatar

Jesus weeps! Is this real or parody? With Trump, I can't tell anymore! 🤷🏻‍♂️

Clym Yeobright's avatar

A big burly guy like jesus weeping, I’m sure he remembered to call trump “sir” and tell him about his factory which under Biden was operating one hour a week. Needs a haircut, though. If junior had ever come home with jesus-hair, don would have beaten ivana black and blue

Janeo's avatar

Or alternately she'd have just "fallen down the staìrs"

Clym Yeobright's avatar

Never thought of it before but … jesus and trump have a lot in common: domineering father; doormat mother with a history of delusions; royal ambitions; love of telling fabulous stories of which he is the hero (“I fed 10,000 people with two fish and seven loaves of bread”); got his name all over everything … Think the ‘x’ in xtianity will eventually stand for ‘trump’? Is there any way this can end well?

Janeo's avatar

The Virgin Mary story marks God as a pedoohìle so there's that similarity to our Clothesless Emporer (which my son thinks is a shocking statement from his prudish mother.) When the clouds part and Jesus descendants from the heavens I hope the enemy forces don't shoot him down with an ABM. (Magical Realism is my favorite genre, after History.)

Wendy Tucker's avatar

Like! Very very very much like!

Clym Yeobright's avatar

Thank you, Wendy. I’ve reworked this and saved it; I think you’ll see version 2 in some thread in the next couple days … lol

Wendy Tucker's avatar

Very much looking forward to seeing it!
