Too much Andy! True LOL!

“Be wake!” the increasingly irate Mrs. Trump shrieked.”

Melissa K's avatar

I laughed out loud at that one 🤣🤣

Annette's avatar

yes, I noticed she didn't shriek "be woke"

andrea sobel's avatar

How many years has she been in the US and still can’t speak English? Grounds for deportation to one of those lovely concentration camps?

Judy Shaffer's avatar

ICE is demanding "papers" from other people who speak with an accent. Why does Melanoma get a pass?

Mary Roeser's avatar

Simple. She's white. Were she any other color, she would be sitting in prison in El Salvador. Her immigration status is somewhat irregular, but she's white. That makes all the difference.

Penny Pawl's avatar

and she married money. I have been to her country. What did she do before coming here. HUMMMM

Judy Forkner's avatar

She's as brown as many of the people they are targeting!

Judy Shaffer's avatar

Of course. How did I miss that?

Lauran McDaib's avatar

Because she agrees to sleep with anyone who questions her....especially if they are in her bodyguard detail...

John Townsend's avatar

The question is, "Does Trump speak English?"

Barbara Greer's avatar

No, that one's been answered.

Annette's avatar

apparently that doesn't seem to bother the sheepeople

Joseph Gonzales's avatar

Hell, they don't speak English!

Annette's avatar

I think they speak "Hee Haw" LOL

Janeo's avatar

She's given up on "Ɓe Best!"

John Townsend's avatar

She's given up maybe on a lot of things......

SUZANNE Marie McAdam's avatar

Got her family here before the feces hit the fan

didn't she?

Annette's avatar

well, Melanoma did come in on an Einstein visa (or was that Epstein visa?)

Karen OConnor's avatar

So did I ! Brilliant, Andy!

John Townsend's avatar

So did I--still laughing!

Penny Pawl's avatar

me too and I still am

Cindy La Ferle's avatar

I cracked up at that line, too! Love it.

felice's avatar

Does this mean she still speaks with an accent?

John  (NJ-VT)'s avatar

The movie is all subtitles even though she is speaking english.

Annette's avatar

<snort laugh>

Mary K's avatar

It better be!

Jerr's avatar

Do you mean trying to speak English?

Curtis R Anderson's avatar

As long as she sounds like Natasha from _Rocky and Bullwinkle_

Lauran McDaib's avatar

They definitely need a few clips in there with Natasha speaking. Well, that and her in her broadbrimmed hat showing up with clips of Spy vs Spy...

Barbara Longbrook's avatar

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣

Candy C's avatar

Priceless, Andy! Laughing out loud will get us through this! ❤️

Phil M.'s avatar

Melania quietly whispered, "be dead."

L B Rose's avatar

This chant was taken up by US citizens and world leaders everywhere.

Beth B's avatar

The whisper heard 'round the world.

MLK's avatar
10hEdited

Poor Melanoma. Brainwashing conjugations with Dump have rendered her unable to conjugate "to be."

Natalie Parker's avatar

I and several relatives have bottles of champagne in the fridge for when that happens.

Stuart Baron's avatar

We’re not related but…

John Townsend's avatar

Dom Perignon? Veuve Cliquot?

Natalie Parker's avatar

More like a $12 bottle of Prosecco, but it'll do the trick!

Jerr's avatar

Gosh, does one break out the champagne on that worthless POS, or get a bottle of Boones Farm and not spend too much celebrating?

Rusalka's avatar

Or “be best dead”

Irna Gadd's avatar

<snort laugh>

felice's avatar

Deport her. She is a terrorist. She wants to kill the POUSA -President of United States

"Hope Hope Hope" said the Bad-spellng Bunny

Amy 0415's avatar

MAGA must want to get rid of him. They are trying to kill him with boredom. Alternatively, perhaps they seek to drive him further insane with non-stop irritation.

Lele's avatar

From her lips to God’s ear 😂🤞🏻

John Townsend's avatar

It hasn't worked, Melania!

Irna Gadd's avatar

I wouldn't be surprised . . .

Lynne Hippeau's avatar

I just snorted my coffee!!! 🤣

Andy Borowitz's avatar

I guarantee that if Trump fell into a coma his approval rating would soar.

Shannon Kincaid's avatar

🙌🏻 We've all been rooting for that little blood clot!

Travel Bug777's avatar

The little blood clot that could!

Bill's avatar

Rooting for that little clot!

Bill's avatar

Clots and prayers to the trumps

Annette's avatar

OK, that one made me spit! ROFL

Leo's avatar

Except that JDV might be worse.

Shannon Kincaid's avatar

No doubt, he's horrible as well but I don't worry about him incinerating the entire world in a fit of pique. AND, no one likes him.

Denise's avatar

And he is a young pissant who will be dogged by the power hungry little beeatches surrounding him. It will be dreadful for us and the world but I think his "success" will be limited by all the hands that will bind him. Silly wabbit! Twicks are for kids!

Celia Smith's avatar

Whose hands are going to bind him?????

Annette's avatar

points well made!

Frances López's avatar

As far as implementing any kind of "agenda," there would be a power struggle among Shady Vance, Stephen Miller, Marco Rubio, Mike Johnson & possibly others. I'll throw Jared Kushner into that mix, too. None of them have a shred of charisma or decency. The country will survive their mismanagement. The "people," of all political stripes, will rebel.

Mark Lip's avatar

Can we start a pool and bet who'd come out on top In that Lord of the Flies scenario?

Cindy O’Dell's avatar

Maybe we could just put them on an island and forget to retrieve them.

Frances López's avatar

Gah! It's hard to imagine.

John Townsend's avatar

Sure bet that the result would be god-awful!

Wendy Tucker's avatar

What about Donnie Jr. or Eric the ChinlessWonder. Since Daddy thinks he is royal, there is a line of succession. Can you imagine the coronation. Melanomia would be escorted by The Strange Child and take a seat which DaughterWife had expected.

Mary K's avatar
7hEdited

I'd take Mike Johnson off the list. He's a wind-up toy that will go in whatever direction he's pointed. Dumber than a Roomba. It's true for Vance, too, but his nastiness propels him.

Irna Gadd's avatar

Dumber than a Roomba is about as damning as can be. I can't envision that.

Frances López's avatar

I was thinking of the rules of succession.

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

Kushner and Ivanka will decamp to Dubai or Doha.

Judy Shaffer's avatar

Don't count Don, Jr. out - he may be just waiting in the wings...grifting enough $$s off his father's presidency to fund his own campaign.

Shaké Topalian's avatar

Not sure how much worse he could be,,

Shannon Kincaid's avatar

Exactly that. Though he's bankrolled by Theil, he has zero base of support, apart from Beevis and Butthead.

Leo's avatar

Well, no lodging couch could ever sleep well again.

John Townsend's avatar

Neither would we!

felice's avatar

Oh, he definitely will be worse. And she must be clueless to become pregnant again or just as mean. What law school graduated them?

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

She married him, that tells you all you need to know

Gabriele C Overweg's avatar

I bet she wants to become "First Lady" - wish her good luck.

Kathy's avatar

Miller is already the potus. President Miller

LYNN COOK's avatar

Crooks, Craven & Cowardly, LTD.

ROY WALLACE's avatar

The problem is that JDV doesn't have an original thought and he will be easily manipulated by the deepest state.

Diane Smith's avatar

Nope. I, respectfully, disagree about anything being worse.

Linda's avatar

We must keep in mind Monty Python's advice to Always Look On the Bright

side of Life...at least JDV is not a sociopath who wants to buy Greenland.

Elizabeth Greenlee's avatar

Are you sure? Certainly seems like a sociopath to me.

Frau Katze's avatar

Vance won’t be much of an improvement!

Wendy Tucker's avatar

Not so sure......if he is capable of aligning with Donnie and supporting his delusions, he is fully capable of sociopathic behavior. Plus, he has Miller close by. He can coach him.

Irna Gadd's avatar

Too few in the Senate like him for him to be able to get any real support going. They might even be able to impeach him and then little Mikey Johnson - - by that time, who knows what would happen. The rest of the Cabinet members are vulnerable to impeachment, too.

Sheri Drisac's avatar

Not a chance...he's got the power of a gnat!!! And that little bit will shrivel up and....🌬 poof!!!

Katy Forcillo's avatar

You all are killing me

Al Keim's avatar

'This clot was made for you and me'🎶

SUZANNE Marie McAdam's avatar

OK, OK. so the trophy's yours again.

Al Keim's avatar

As I was floating that arterial river

I saw above me the plaque lined by pass

I saw below me the golden globs of fat

And knew that this little clot was meant to be

Janeo's avatar

He takes so much aspirin that I'm betting on a massive intercraniaĺ bleed, similar to what's on the back of his hands.

Wendy Tucker's avatar

What a delightful image. Sooner the better.

Rebecca Warner's avatar

You guys are cracking me up, good one Shannon!

Ellen Freilich's avatar

Folks, as the saying goes, be careful what you wish for i.e. J.D. Vance.

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

Imagine the headlines:

Trump stately while unconscious

Presidential at last

Al Keim's avatar

Could we put him in a glass box for display?

Harvey Perry's avatar

No, He will be put in a gold sarcophagus in accordance with his Last Will and Testament. It will be on permanent display at Mar-a-Lago where people who pay admission can go to see it.

Elliot's avatar

and about as many people will show up as showed up for his parade. Or fewer, if there's a charge.

Wendy Tucker's avatar

Like Lenin.....

MLK's avatar
10hEdited

If a coma raises Dump's approval rating, then won't his rating go vertical when he dies?

Rebecca Warner's avatar

Laugh, laugh, laughing! Gosh, it feels good.

Sharon Herrick's avatar

Ah, but how could we tell?

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

Stephen Miller will try and do Weekend at Bernie’s for as long as possible when it happens!

Sharon Herrick's avatar

I'm so out of touch I had to look up Weekend at Bernie's---you're absolutely spot-on. Now if you had referenced Princess Bride, mostly dead, you know, then I could have related. Weekend at Bernie's might be on my menu after this---especially when I can imagine Miller and Rubio propping up Trump.

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

I do want to see Princess Bride, right now it’s streaming on a service I don’t have!

Sharon Herrick's avatar

You'll love Princess Bride, I guarantee it.

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

His left hand is so bad now he’s channeling Michael Jackson with one glove. Hoping that big moonwalk off into the sunset is soon!

Wendy Tucker's avatar

I wonder what happened to that temporarily defrocked doctor who gave Michael Jackson propofol. Maybe he could advise about the hands and the ankles -- a good nap???????

Irna Gadd's avatar

He'd finally get the turnout for a parade that he claimed he got for his inauguration.

Mary Roeser's avatar

I have no doubt that a comatose Agolf Shitler would be a vast improvement.

P.S.: I am at the point that the only news I wish to hear about Shitler is that he's dead, even if that would leave us with Shady JD, or whatever name he's currently going by. He seems to change names with regularity.

Hugh Jarce's avatar

And so would approval ratings for comas.

Susie's avatar

That’d do it! Perhaps we should tell him?

Susan Moss's avatar

But how would we know?

Susan Barnes's avatar

Again. You think we would learn.

Lawrence Gottlieb's avatar

Like Alex in 'A Clockwork Orange,' I demand Trump's eyelids be forced open,

so he can see how totally bland and boring his world actually is. He thinks he's

a fucking dashing Cary Grant type, while in reality, this psychotic scumbag makes

Alfred E. Newman look like Robert Redford. Make him stew in his abysmal sub human

mediocrity.

Bob Graham's avatar

"sub human mediocrity", you really nailed it Messr. Gottlieb!

MLK's avatar

Why taint non-human species?

Tricia Wilson's avatar

You put words to my loathing.

Annette's avatar

<appreciative applause>

Wendy Tucker's avatar

Alfred E. Newman >>>>Robert Redford. The thing is, Trump really does believe he's attractive, handsome, appealing, sexy. Where is Stormy these days....could she make a statement?

Sooz Hall's avatar

Preparing an order of fried mushrooms to celebrate! She hasn’t been able to eat any for many years…

LYNN COOK's avatar

Have always been reminded of the Charles Adams character....LURCH.!

Even the name seems. to fit him to a " T " !

David Toth and Fran Newton's avatar

If people don’t want to watch the film, Melania, you can’t stop them.

Glenn Sills's avatar

I thought the "swatting his right hand" was a nice touch. We don't always give Andy enough credit for his attention to details. Like Hayao Miyazaki's touch of having Chihiro tap her shoes as she puts them on in one scene of "Spirited Away", this kind of detail raises the artistic quality of a piece above mundane to true artistry.

Andy Borowitz's avatar

Thank you for noticing! The details are the fun part for me.

Judy Tuwaletstiwa's avatar

you are a master of details, andy. and also of humor, period...lots of periods....you know how to put into words the pratfall as well as all forms of humor.

Wendy Tucker's avatar

The details paint a written tapestry which revs up our imaginations. We read and see the possibilities in our mind's eye. We can laugh in the midst of the despair. Thank you.

William Duke's avatar

I agree. And the restraint to not explain the bruise, to let us get there on our own, that's the genius.

Judy Shaffer's avatar

And it shows respect for the intelligence of his devoted audience not to spoon-feed us.

Jeanne's avatar

This is too accurate to be satire.

The Rickster's avatar

“Press secretary Karoline Leavitt later briefed reporters on Trump’s coma, asserting, ‘This will in no way affect his performance as president. Don’t listen to that third rate comedian, Borowitz’”

MLK's avatar

Satire? Everything Andy writes is true!

bruce schneider's avatar

He just wanted to show he's not Woke.

It's Come To This's avatar

Apparently, Little Marco’s full, Cuban lips weren’t any more successful…

Annette's avatar

Apparently, no one rushed to perform CPR or mouth-to-mouth resuscitation, except KaroLIE Leavitt, who had to be reminded her lips needed to be on his, not on his ass.

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

I love how South Park always shows her with a brown nose!

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

Oh right, they all look alike, the Klaus Barbi twins!

misia.d's avatar

So deftly phrased, A!

Wendy Tucker's avatar

I believe that if he really was in a coma and needed mouth to mouth, not a single one of his sycophants would try.....they'd be too busy planning what they'd wear to his funeral. Even Little Marco.

Irna Gadd's avatar

<appreciative applause>

Sharon Herrick's avatar

Do you suppose Little Marco will ever realize that no one will ever vote for him for anything ever again? That it's more likely he'll be deported to Cuba? What a turd.

Glenn Sills's avatar

Turn about is fair play. Melania has been falling asleep on Trump as long as they have been together.

It's Come To This's avatar

ZING!

L B Rose's avatar

It may look like she's asleep but she's quietly counting all the money in her bank accounts and properties and dreaming of all the beauty treatments she has booked...

Paul's avatar

She is not asleep under there, she is being suffocated ...

MLK's avatar

Is it wrong to hope for that?

Sherie Knight's avatar

Rather than attempting to rouse him, I think Mal-Narnia was checking for signs of life, with fingers firmly crossed. She was praying/preying for a “win-win”. If he’d finally expired, she was unburdened ✅; and the global attention would be on the completely foreseeable and highly anticipated death of the US President; therefore providing a much needed distraction from the minus 6000% rating of her film ✅ Oh, and the cherry on top is that she gets a Vogue cover as a grieving widow in a black Vintage Valentino ensemble., inclusive of a boater with a brim the size of Maine. She’ll be quietly delighted, but not enough to spontaneously smile, that the political and fashion world will be lauding her for having the foresight to simultaneously pay tribute and homage to two men of global but opposite influence.

Lisa Botwinick's avatar

I will not see the film and neither will my friends!

nks's avatar

It’s really not a film. I think it’s more like an info commercial with a Slovakian accent.

Sherie Knight's avatar

Perhaps she should have played a Slovakian assassin in a Bond film. Introducing No-Knaus Trampepstein, KAOS Agent 4547

Sharon P's avatar

Dumps is pissed she didn't get a GOLD paint job

Beth B's avatar

Oh, that wasn't her? Sure talked like her.

Franca Garofalo's avatar

I read that many crew members refused to be mentioned in the credits and many regret working on it because they saw it as pure propaganda.

Annette's avatar

just 20 days of her life, before tRump's second reign of terror . . . how many times do we have to see her go to the spa and eat a lettuce leaf?

John Gregory's avatar

Slovenian, I think. Hard to tell them apart at this distance...

Jayne Spence's avatar

Same here. Prime has plenty of good movies and other entertainment. I’ll not support Trump grift in any form.

Lucy Guerlac's avatar

Then don’t use Prime! 😉

Franca Garofalo's avatar

I got rid of prime and anything to do with Amazon last January. I was pleasantly surprised at how easy it is to go directly to various businesses, especially the smaller ones.

MLK's avatar

Alas, now even a Netflix subscription supports Dump grift.

Sharon P's avatar

What are the ratings ? Any reviews ? Probably not both writers would be forced to walk the plank on the Jolly Roger any alligator will do

Lisa Botwinick's avatar

It’s not coming out until January 30!

Annette's avatar

thank God it's not coming out on Groundhogs Day!

Frances López's avatar

Maybe she'll mimic Jackie Kennedy Onassis in her choice of dress & black mantilla. And wear fashionably low black pumps instead of spike heels. But I do like the ensemble you've imagined.

Annette's avatar

you have proven she is indeed smarter than we think

It's Come To This's avatar

“Be Wake!” 😜🤪😜😂🤣😍

Better yet, "This be a wake."

"Be woke" would be even better!

That song was actually from a much older song that I learned while I was at school. I’m in the same age bracket as the Beatles so I bet they learned that same song (see “Golden Slumbers” in Wikipedia for its history).

I think the key word here is “irreversible”, yet the report hedges. All true Americans can only pray that it may be so🙏 Oh wait, JD?😱

Janeo's avatar

JD isnt capable of cult leadership. He tried to take over for Charley but resorted to getting pregnant for a cover.

Michael Bowe's avatar

He's even off-putting when he orders donuts.

Sooz Hall's avatar

I’m afraid JustaDick will be ecstatic to have his tech masters do all the “work” for him to govern, totally screw the financial system for everyone who doesn’t have a personal banker, get rid of the underclass the old-fashioned way (starve them, deny medical care and legal care; that’s always worked before), keep a minimal number of “middle class people around to do the jobs that aren’t being done by AI and AI-driven tools, and enjoy the space in an America of maybe 250,000 people.

What a future. I think i need to go back to reading Regency romances. Noblesse Oblige still existed then, at least for some people.

Sooz Hall's avatar

Also, there has always been a need for an “underclass” to do the menial work. But now that we will have glorious machines instead, we can kill all the poor. Of course, that means ruining the gene pool, but not all the Ubermensch seem to have the ability to think long-term.
