Andy, love reading you... But..... You are wrong on Tapper. We, Democrats, don't have the White House, House or Senate. Let's learn where we went wrong. Tribalism lead to Trump. Let's not indulge in tribalism too.
Agree to disagree! Poll after poll showed that voters knew Biden was too old. So if there was a “cover up,” as Tapper laughably wrote, it was one of the worst in history. Instead of pandering to right wing conspiracy theorists Tapper should consider reporting on the ongoing dismantling of our democracy. I’d support that book. (By the way, the Democrats lost a very close election. Trump did not win a majority—he won a small plurality. 700,000 votes in the swing states stood between Harris and the White House.)
Hi Andy, while I agree Biden was getting up there. What he accomplished in 4 years, not to mention, one month when it came to COVID, is worthy of high praise. However, the democrats are too slow to move forward and they stick to the old ways.
In any case, I am still very disappointed at how misogynistic and racists this country is. It was those who didn’t vote because “I don’t like her” with no thought to the fact they would get another chance to vote her out if they wanted in four years. I blame them and those who just didn’t vote. Biden, was the right person for the time. Tapper did a great disservice and the book is just more mean spiritless and distraction.
I've been walking and organizing and training other walkers for the Dem party here since 2006 and have knocked on thousands of doors and made thousands of phone calls for candidates around the country. The people who don't vote are the ones who are thoroughly discouraged that anything will get better for them. I asked the exec director of the party here about this years ago. My area, upper middle class, votes at an 85% rate. The people in the poorer districts at around 35%. They've given up. They work like crazy and veg out in front of the TV before they have to do it all over again. Day after day. Their areas are polluted. Hospitals are scarce.
I blame: Biden. For lying. He told us he was going to be a one-term president.
The DNC, for not giving us a primary. Harris didn't speak about the horror in Gaza. Why not? Too much AIPAC money? Is it all about the Benjamins? (During the general election I made phone calls for Rashida Tlaib. So many people were disconsolate about the presidential race. I had to convince them to vote, period.)
Harris, herself. You needed to have looked at Harris' time as AG for California and her willingness to put parents of consistently tardy students in jail. How would that have helped? That made her sound like a bigot herself!
Fellow Jews, who were voting for Trump because, "He put the embassy in Jerusalem." OMG.
I don't think of myself as a bigot or misogynist. I worked like a dog to get Obama elected. I adore Van Jones. But I dislike Clyborn for helping to sink Bernie's campaign, as well as Nancy Pelosi. Truthfully, Bernie was my only hope. I'm still walking and phoning for local candidates, and plan to get involved in California's governor race (I have a couple of faves) and, if there's ever a general election for president again I'll support the candidate who fights for medical care for everyone, who is anti-war, pro-the ordinary people.
If it comes down to only 80 percent worth my vote and 90 percent definitely NOT, I’m going with the 80 percent candidate, male or female, we all have issues….
Your passion and work are appreciated, I think Bernie is as good as it gets, but we missed that boat.
I appreciate all that you have done. I also agree about the Israeli position. Biden absolutely failed on that front. However, this country has been going downhill since Reagan and his war on the middle class. Republicans have consistently chosen self interest and profit over community and the welfare of the entire nation. No way was Biden or any President going to fix that in a just 4 years. I understand being discouraged, who hasn’t lately. However, the bedrock of a democracy is the vote. Period. The fact so many Americans couldn’t be bothered or impulsively voted got us here. Our system absolutely needs to change and we do that through the vote. I agree the progressives are the way to go. It is their future and we have failed too many for too long. Respectfully
I agree with Mr. B. Democrats did NOT "go wrong." A majority of American voters did! They had all the warning they could need, and then some, and then some more! AND STILL they chose to believe the lies.
Not necessarily. Incumbents lost in almost every Western democracy, in part due to post-COVID inflation. Harris performed much better than Sunak in the UK.
Harris was a perfectly good candidate and I am extremely tired of people saying she wasn’t. She was, in fact, robbed of millions of votes. Familiar with Greg Palast? He seems to be a very credible source of information about voter suppression which was a tactic used by the KKK. We were not paying attention. Elon didn’t mess with the voting machines but others may have. When you have time, please read this important article. I do not usually post others columns but I do feel this one is essential. https://www.gregpalast.com/trump-lost-vote-suppression-won/Trump Lost. Vote Suppression Won. - Greg Palast
Still feel she was not the strongest candidate. The Dems have had their Presidential candidates out of order since Obama. If Biden would have been the nominee in 2016, probably would have won. If a woman candidate would have followed Biden. She would have probably won. Dems are a mess
Maybe, and maybe not. If Stein had decided to run for the House or Senate instead of insisting on being a spoiler, that might have helped,too. People harping about no primary didn’t do the Dems any favors. How about we look at the “short” but VERY strong campaign that Harris ran? I wish Biden had dropped out sooner, but I also noticed that he dropped out on the DAY he brought prisoners back from RUSSIA in an historic agreement — nobody seems to talk about maybe that’s what he was spending his time doing, before he dropped out. Maybe he wasn’t lost in the White House halls. Maybe he was being President and dealing with Putin.
Too late. Now comes the carnage. Tell me , Arkansas governor, do you have FEMA assistance now? Or will it be coming now that you are protesting, what? Higher drug prices for your population who will not have Medicaid? Hmmmm?
Primaries where you get four or five choices ,ranked, and it goes from there that way, everybody actually gets a second chance if their candidate doesn’t make it two party system stinks. Alaska has the ranked system and the Republicans have been trying to reverse that ever since because it actually works. Everybody get a choice.
Tapper knows all about Trump's health situation. He's just going to wait until Trump is out of office to write a book about it. It'll be a "step-by-step" expose, guaranteed to be a bestseller.
Let's be real. The ones RESPONSIBLE are the people who call themselves Christians who wanted a white country, the oligarchs and billionaires who want all the poor, weak, and less advantaged to just disappear. They simply never paid attention to his rhetoric
and made excuses for his lies. And the more desirable are not going to bear enough children to do all the work.
I understand your wish that he had face planted, but as one who has done that twice, I wouldn't recommend it even for him. For my second one, I was really impressed that the emergency room doctor had what it took to figure out what I'd done to my upper lip, and to fix it beautifully. I had gone in there as a bloody mess. I can't take the idea of face plants lightly any more.
lolol... I saw that! And I'm laughing even harder, with the image of tRump in a net, flying overhead, with his red tie whipping in the wind around him.
He does know how to milk it and at moments almost appears sincere and grandfatherly, old and maybe fragile at times, but then his true self shows up — it’s like Mitch where you start to feel sorry for them but then you wake up.
Having face planted and waited 8 hours in the ER to find out I hadn't broken any bones, I ordinarily wouldn't wish a face plant on anyone, but I can make an exception HAPPILY, for him!
Same thing happened to me. Would’ve been great to have some big ugly scars on him to have people make fun of him the way he does others. Calling people ugly and making fun of disabled people.
I've done the same, twice. Black eyes for weeks. When people would sneak a look at me ("did someone beat her up?"), I'd smile and say, "I forgot to take off my racoon mask from Halloween" (it was in November). That made people laugh!
I hope that there's not a next time, but it's an excellent suggestion. I may say that my 3-year-old punched me in one eye, and some guy in the bar punched me in the other.
I'm sorry that you've been there twice, too. But I would far rather have had a raccoon mask than to require stitching up, which was necessary both times.
I broke my cheekbone once, but they can't do surgery for that. Having said that, I have no qualms about wishing the orange sadist a TINY fraction of the pain that he is inflicting on hundreds of millions of people here in the U.S., and around the world. (You're nicer than me.)
My problem is that I just finished reading The Book of Joy, with the Dalai Lama and Archbishop Tutu. They've really made me think twice about what I'd wish on others. That said, I would like to see him pay for all the pain and deaths he's inflicted on people the world over. The only idea I have is to hope that he burns in Hell.
I know exactly what you're saying about the need for internal peace and kindness. I have not hated anyone for as long as I can remember. Now I do -- although I look for synonyms for "hate" since I think that may help. I love your solution!!!
The thing is, this guy made fun of President Biden for falling on those exact same stairs. He played the video over and over and over and over. He was vicious. And that alone might not do it. But then you add the fact that he’s fucking decimating democracy right in front of us and yeah. He needs to face plant.
He needs something that affects him the same way. But I see wishing a face plant on somebody as just another form of cruelty. Does everyone who wishes a face plant on him want to be just like him?
Well, he was hanging on solidly to the railing-- which really is what everyone should be doing on stairs like that, especially us older folks!
It would help our cause perhaps if he would trip much more decidedly, since he is so concerned never to look weak. We could make a huge deal of it the way he did with Hilary when she was ill during the 2016 campaign. Or how he and his minions laughed at Biden-- who was still out biking, AS IF T could ever manage that. But this episode was just a minor wobble, I'm afraid, not a major sign of decrepitude. It just made him look normal and human (which isn't that easy to do, actually, since he seems to be neither).
Me too. I pray every day that he face plants. I am guessing he was in a hurry to get to the golden toilet on AF1. Probably loaded up his man diaper when he slipped and blamed the stank on Hegseth when he got on the plane.
And the fun house mirrors they must have replaced all over the WH that makes him look thin and young. 👦🏼 He should have stopped at 1.0 because Mr. Vanity himself is looking horrible. He is more orange than ever, his hair looks like white cotton balls, and his eyebrows before they re-dye them look like white caterpillars. Plus the bags under his eyes that are big enough to pack and take on vacation. His skin is really bad. Stress must be getting to the Tangerine Tyrant as he sees people rebelling against his authority.
I know what you mean, Sheila Montoya. Dump has caused millions of otherwise kind and polite people to wish for nasty things to happen - but he does deserve it. And he enjoys causing much worse to happen to many paople, so I don't feel sorry for him one little bit.
But, I feel sorry for all of us. We are not naturally hate-filled people, but one of Dump's super powers is to bring out the worst in every other person. When that whole bunch is behind bars - where they belong - then I'll return to the kinder person that I used to be.
Mitch McConnell is right up there. Maybe more. He knew better. He must hate that he gave that lucid speech after the Jan 6 insurrection, when he showed his sanity. So evil.
Me, too - I'm still kind to most people. That is our nature, and most people deserve understanding, not meanness.
Dump's cruelty brings out what is unnatural in people like us (and, sadly, is natural in people like him, Miller, Bannon, Vance, Noem, Musk, etc.).
I like to think of myself as a mirror, reflecting back to people what they put out. What Dump puts out is ugly, so he gets ugly back. But, unlike Dump, I dislike feeling that way.
My father used to say that it's wrong to feel joy at the misfortune of others, and mostly he was right. But, I'm going to fill with joy on the day that Dump gets dumped right into prison.
At this moment I'm so hate-filled I could scream. That monster's lying press conference about why he needs the Marines! I've rarely been this angry in all my 89 years! I hated Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq wars, but there's no comparison to hate I feel on this day.
when it comes to him, it's cathartic. Normally, I'd say the vampire, but since if there was no Manchurian Cantaloupe there would be no Stephen Miller, so Donnie-Two-Left-Feet wins again!
A second hand, heavy duty wench carrying Trump up the stairs would be an ugly visual - meaning: (1) Trump would hate it; and (2) the idea therefore has merit.
I've lost her number, so go ahead. Anyway, I had a different visual. I was thinking of one of those thickset Munich Oktoberfest beer hall waitresses who somehow carry 10-20 giant mugs of beer at the same time. I like your visual better.
We-e-ellllll...I rather like YOUR visual... Anyway, they do share the image of being stacked.
I defer to your excellent suggestion of Octoberfest's "Brunhilde". Don't forget to ask for the off-season discount for tRump since Musk has refused to pick up the tab anymore.
<snort laugh>.... images of a large Russian "woman" with a babushka and limbs as big as tree trunks, carrying the massive lump. Whispering sweet words into ConOLD's ears as she stomps him up the steps.
When you wear your desert tan camo combat gear in front of an LA office building, you kind of stand out. This sort of defeats the purpose of the camouflage, doesn’t it?
To better blend in, try a business suit – maybe something from Brooks Brothers or Hart, Schaffner and Marx. Blue or charcoal, mid-range lapels, athletic cut. Accessorize with some Ray-Ban aviators and a pair of cordovan wing tips from Florsheim.
Why not look mahvahless if you can. You are deploying near Hollywood, you know.
Most of them were wondering why they are there. Watching a live feed eariler today, there was a group taking selfies, something to show the future grandkids, no doubt!
And yet again, from me an audible chuckle. I do wish my dear husband were still alive so curses as well as chuckles would have their place in our home. No, no, he would not be cursing you, Andy. He was, BTW, also an Andrew. We both loved you when we saw you at the Keswick.
Wait! What if we hit the stair rails with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light. Or disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute!
Susan Stone - you made me LOL. I totally agree with you. We can see from the photo that he is no more than a giant rear end with an organge head stuck on top.
I might even use "ass" as the first half ot the word.
Someone needs to alert Tapper!
Why bother? Tapper isn't worth the effort!
Agreed. Love to know the numbers on his book - trumpsters don't read and anti-trumpsters wouldn't waste a dollar on his book.
Agreed!

My feelings exactly!! This misogeny in this country has now deprived us of TWO brilliiant, capable women who would not have put us in this mess!

Oh to have a real President again.....
Yeah, she wasn't "qualified". HA! The only "qualification" she was missing was white male genitalia. And look what that "qualification" got us!
Too late. Now comes the carnage. Tell me , Arkansas governor, do you have FEMA assistance now? Or will it be coming now that you are protesting, what? Higher drug prices for your population who will not have Medicaid? Hmmmm?
orange carnage, finally almost a rhyme for orange
Primaries where you get four or five choices ,ranked, and it goes from there that way, everybody actually gets a second chance if their candidate doesn’t make it two party system stinks. Alaska has the ranked system and the Republicans have been trying to reverse that ever since because it actually works. Everybody get a choice.
Who's been covering this up!? Oh, no one, really.
Tapper knows all about Trump's health situation. He's just going to wait until Trump is out of office to write a book about it. It'll be a "step-by-step" expose, guaranteed to be a bestseller.
Is he too chicken to write it NOW?
Yes! Tapper is a CHICKEN!
Think Tapper doesn't know?? And by the way. He was right about Biden. It's Biden’s fault we are in the mess we are in
Let's be real. The ones RESPONSIBLE are the people who call themselves Christians who wanted a white country, the oligarchs and billionaires who want all the poor, weak, and less advantaged to just disappear. They simply never paid attention to his rhetoric
and made excuses for his lies. And the more desirable are not going to bear enough children to do all the work.
Can't disagree
It dumbass Democrats’ fault.
Agree
Hilarious! Sure wish he would have face planted. I’m surprised he can lift his tree trunk legs to even climb one stair.
His face looked like an angry corpuscle filled with pus and ready to burst….
His whole body looks like that.
With a big side of fear.
Oh yeah. Look of sheer terror.
LOL!
Giant Orange Pus Bucket is my name for him.
"She's gonna blow, Captain! I canno' defy the laws of physics!" 🤪
HA!!
It always looks like that.
Ewwwwwwwwwwwww! Grosssssssssssssss! But true.
Oh, now, now. We don't punch down, do we?
ewwwww, and absolutely true
pustule fixin’ to blow
I was kind of hoping for a "Naked Gun" thing with him toppling down the stairs, LOLOL :)
Me too.
from your lips to God's ears! Let's hope we get more reruns of this!
That last line about Epstein's plane! What a zinger!
I thought so, too!🤣🤣🤣
I understand your wish that he had face planted, but as one who has done that twice, I wouldn't recommend it even for him. For my second one, I was really impressed that the emergency room doctor had what it took to figure out what I'd done to my upper lip, and to fix it beautifully. I had gone in there as a bloody mess. I can't take the idea of face plants lightly any more.
I would never wish a face plant on anyone except him! And I do. He absolutely mocks everyone and is cruel to almost all. He deserves zero sympathy.
And for Miller, a full somersault down the gangplank would be best.
Into shark-infested water!
And batteries.
A shark would taste the bile Miller secretes like sweat and spit him out; and then eat a pile of whale dung to get the taste out of its mouth.
Ewwwwwwwwww! Grosssssssss! But true.
At least with sea bass
<standing ovation> . . . where he can land among Jay Deviance, Elon Musk, Russell Vought... the whole crew of malcontents
I understand your feelings but think of the huge amount of wasted effort and care from the medical personnel and security!!☹️
--and he'd only bounce on his stomach anyway!
Or his…very ample butt!
Whom he will afterward dismiss and denigrate, as he did the medical team that helped save him when he got covid.
perhaps they could use a crane . . .?
Agree. Or how about the way the zebra was carried after its rescue. T-rump would make the news more interesting.
lolol... I saw that! And I'm laughing even harder, with the image of tRump in a net, flying overhead, with his red tie whipping in the wind around him.
I agree that he deserves no sympathy, but I still can't go along with a face plant wish.
I agree! I wish he would walk face first into an airplane propeller.
Very creative idea. Walking too close to a jet engine intake would work even better, IMO.
Two good ideas right there, Susan and Michael!
I gotta ask why not ??????
Please read my comments about The Book of Joy.
He does know how to milk it and at moments almost appears sincere and grandfatherly, old and maybe fragile at times, but then his true self shows up — it’s like Mitch where you start to feel sorry for them but then you wake up.
I think that his anger is a sign of his impending dementia - I watched my brother go through the same process.
Agreed, and sorry about your brother.
As for Donald, it looks like:
(1) his dementia is well passed “impending”
(2) most documentation of djt since his youth is that he’s always exhibited more than a streak of being an a-hole
yes, Elaine - I honestly believe they're disguising his mental decline with medications
Agreed- I can not wish enough horrible things to happen to him.....
Having face planted and waited 8 hours in the ER to find out I hadn't broken any bones, I ordinarily wouldn't wish a face plant on anyone, but I can make an exception HAPPILY, for him!
Same thing happened to me. Would’ve been great to have some big ugly scars on him to have people make fun of him the way he does others. Calling people ugly and making fun of disabled people.
especially if he were bleeding profusely, because that seems to be an obsession with him
I understand that choice, even though I wouldn't make it myself.
I've done the same, twice. Black eyes for weeks. When people would sneak a look at me ("did someone beat her up?"), I'd smile and say, "I forgot to take off my racoon mask from Halloween" (it was in November). That made people laugh!
--or you could have said, "You should have seen the other guys at the bar.
And the two cops!"
LOL!!! (That would have been even funnier, coming from the mouth of a 70-year-old lady!)
Next time, just tell them you told your 3-year-old to punch you in the face!
I hope that there's not a next time, but it's an excellent suggestion. I may say that my 3-year-old punched me in one eye, and some guy in the bar punched me in the other.
I'm sorry that you've been there twice, too. But I would far rather have had a raccoon mask than to require stitching up, which was necessary both times.

I know exactly what you're saying about the need for internal peace and kindness. I have not hated anyone for as long as I can remember. Now I do -- although I look for synonyms for "hate" since I think that may help. I love your solution!!!
The Dalai Lama and Desmond Tutu never met tRump. In this case, they might be willing to make an exception.
Vengeance is claimed by another so that we will not suffer its ill effects.
Hmmm, burn in Hell ... cue the pitchforks!
I did that; still have the bruises. But I wouldn’t mind him doing it.
The thing is, this guy made fun of President Biden for falling on those exact same stairs. He played the video over and over and over and over. He was vicious. And that alone might not do it. But then you add the fact that he’s fucking decimating democracy right in front of us and yeah. He needs to face plant.
Not a face plant, that would lead to huge wave of sympathy from his followers. They don’t see the connection to how he treats other people.
He needs something that affects him the same way. But I see wishing a face plant on somebody as just another form of cruelty. Does everyone who wishes a face plant on him want to be just like him?
And if tRump was there, he would have laughed his fat ass off.
I'm sorry I can't like your comment. But I agree with what you said.
Well, he was hanging on solidly to the railing-- which really is what everyone should be doing on stairs like that, especially us older folks!
It would help our cause perhaps if he would trip much more decidedly, since he is so concerned never to look weak. We could make a huge deal of it the way he did with Hilary when she was ill during the 2016 campaign.

It just made him look normal and human (which isn't that easy to do, actually, since he seems to be neither).
<golf clap> well said
Hah, I wish we could plant all of him, he would make good fertilizer.
on a golf course in New Jersey
Hah, great idea!
Great idea, and we could all yell, "in the hole". I bet he'd liked that. What a tribute to the a-hole. Sorry, that's nasty, but invigorating.
He brings out the worst in us! But it's therapy!
exactly! TBR is the best sort of therapy on the earth!
I wouldn't plant anything near that toxic waste.
Me too. I pray every day that he face plants. I am guessing he was in a hurry to get to the golden toilet on AF1. Probably loaded up his man diaper when he slipped and blamed the stank on Hegseth when he got on the plane.
Maybe his second hand jet will have an elevator ramp?
I think one of those stair-side elevator chairs would be a nice touch!
Not sure if they make one big enough to get him up.....the stairs
Hydraulic lift or crane, anyone?
Well, he'd probably like a lift or crane -- if it looked like a gold (plated) throne. The more gawdy, the better.
but a true throne . . . like a gold (plated) toilet!
Perfect!
What do you mean? He only weighs 225 lbs. It's the deep state media that makes him look heavy. lol
And the fun house mirrors they must have replaced all over the WH that makes him look thin and young. 👦🏼 He should have stopped at 1.0 because Mr. Vanity himself is looking horrible. He is more orange than ever, his hair looks like white cotton balls, and his eyebrows before they re-dye them look like white caterpillars. Plus the bags under his eyes that are big enough to pack and take on vacation. His skin is really bad. Stress must be getting to the Tangerine Tyrant as he sees people rebelling against his authority.
And the Pulitzer goes to .... Robin D! Excellent reporting.
I never won anything before. Thank you. 😊
He is getting even chunkier!
As long as the elevator dropped straight to Hell.
I was just driving behind a Stannah truck today. Maybe it was on its way :))))
Stephen Brady, Excellent! My neighbor has one in velvet.
Like Olivia Soprano had in her house? LOL.
<snort laugh>
That would be hysterical.
I can see him ordering that he be carried about in a palanquin.
perhaps we'll see that on Saturday . . . I won't, though; attending two No Kings rallies - get out there people and make your voices heard!!
Let him fall
The farther, the better. He can confirm that pigs don’t fly.
Oh, Sheila Montoya! I love all of these suggestions, but I love yours the most!
Agree with you as usual, Marmo!
I know what you mean, Sheila Montoya. Dump has caused millions of otherwise kind and polite people to wish for nasty things to happen - but he does deserve it. And he enjoys causing much worse to happen to many paople, so I don't feel sorry for him one little bit.
But, I feel sorry for all of us. We are not naturally hate-filled people, but one of Dump's super powers is to bring out the worst in every other person. When that whole bunch is behind bars - where they belong - then I'll return to the kinder person that I used to be.
well said. I have only hated one person more in my whole life.
Mitch McConnell is right up there. Maybe more. He knew better. He must hate that he gave that lucid speech after the Jan 6 insurrection, when he showed his sanity. So evil.
Sadly, Penny Pawl, I hate several people, but they're all attached one way or another to Dump.
Hate is an emotion that I don't enjoy (unlike Dump and his minions), and I look forward to the day when I can stop feeling it.
<standing ovation> excellent post, Marmo! I'm still kind to most people, but this "human" does not deserve my respect or admiration.
Thank you, Annette.
Me, too - I'm still kind to most people. That is our nature, and most people deserve understanding, not meanness.
Dump's cruelty brings out what is unnatural in people like us (and, sadly, is natural in people like him, Miller, Bannon, Vance, Noem, Musk, etc.).
I like to think of myself as a mirror, reflecting back to people what they put out. What Dump puts out is ugly, so he gets ugly back. But, unlike Dump, I dislike feeling that way.
My father used to say that it's wrong to feel joy at the misfortune of others, and mostly he was right. But, I'm going to fill with joy on the day that Dump gets dumped right into prison.
Well said, Marmo. Of course, Trump would have no power without the support of all the enablers. Convicted felon. Will he ever pay for his crimes?
At this moment I'm so hate-filled I could scream. That monster's lying press conference about why he needs the Marines! I've rarely been this angry in all my 89 years! I hated Korea, Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq wars, but there's no comparison to hate I feel on this day.
I'm with you, Geraldine!
Don't feel badly, Sheila. You are not alone!
when it comes to him, it's cathartic. Normally, I'd say the vampire, but since if there was no Manchurian Cantaloupe there would be no Stephen Miller, so Donnie-Two-Left-Feet wins again!
Not many--except Putin and that North Korean leader.
Just like Humpty Dumpty...with the same 'unfortunate' outcome 😃
Or a heavy duty winch.
Jim: Did you mean "wench"? Perhaps a second-hand wench for the second-hand plane?
A second hand, heavy duty wench carrying Trump up the stairs would be an ugly visual - meaning: (1) Trump would hate it; and (2) the idea therefore has merit.
A catapult if one could be found powerful enough to heave such a weight.
Catapult is the best idea yet!!
In tRumps case, wouldn't that be a fatapult?
<snort laugh> . . . thanks for that image, Suzy... the TBRers are on fire today!
Thank goodness for Andy and his devoted followers. I think I would have lost my sanity if not for all of you.
Thank you, Jim. You wanna call Stormy or shall I??
I've lost her number, so go ahead. Anyway, I had a different visual. I was thinking of one of those thickset Munich Oktoberfest beer hall waitresses who somehow carry 10-20 giant mugs of beer at the same time. I like your visual better.
We-e-ellllll...I rather like YOUR visual... Anyway, they do share the image of being stacked.
I defer to your excellent suggestion of Octoberfest's "Brunhilde". Don't forget to ask for the off-season discount for tRump since Musk has refused to pick up the tab anymore.
YES!!
<snort laugh>.... images of a large Russian "woman" with a babushka and limbs as big as tree trunks, carrying the massive lump. Whispering sweet words into ConOLD's ears as she stomps him up the steps.
escalator. Golden.
Or an authentic executive camel that's trained for stair carrying service 🤔
For the price of that jet he should be able to say, “Beam me up, Susie”
A golden escalator.
bet he puts one in that plane. Frankly I hate those steps.
Perhaps a winch?
Geez. Didn’t see your comment when I wrote mine.
He needs. Hi-lift truck like the airlines use to load catering and cleaning supplies onto their jets!
--in an animal crate-cage!. I might be there along with you!
Hope not
Please refer to that aircraft by its name, The Fuhrer Plane.
I’m thinking of a high powered off ramp…….
Dear National Guardsmen,
When you wear your desert tan camo combat gear in front of an LA office building, you kind of stand out. This sort of defeats the purpose of the camouflage, doesn’t it?
To better blend in, try a business suit – maybe something from Brooks Brothers or Hart, Schaffner and Marx. Blue or charcoal, mid-range lapels, athletic cut. Accessorize with some Ray-Ban aviators and a pair of cordovan wing tips from Florsheim.
Why not look mahvahless if you can. You are deploying near Hollywood, you know.
Just a thought…
I felt a little sorry for them in all that gear. It is mighty hot out there in LA. Oh, but climate change and global warming are a hoax!
Most of them were wondering why they are there. Watching a live feed eariler today, there was a group taking selfies, something to show the future grandkids, no doubt!
oooh jeez edith! 🤣
Hahaha, maybe a facelift and some ozempic. Excellent observation, Dave!
But no masks allowed! Thank you for your attention to this matter!
😂🤣
“I guess he was in better shape when he boarded Epstein’s plane.”
This is just, well, words fail me again! So good! 🤣🤣🤣
--but the extra king-size bed on Epstein's private island still sagged after Trump's departure.
At least it wasn't pee-stained!
How do you know it wasn’t, John!
Jabba the Gut!
Or Jabba the Butt
Or Jabba the Jowls by the look of this photo!
Brilliant!
🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂
Hate to be a hater, but the best part of the picture is the terrified look on his face
He probably emits a grunting sound with every stair step, too.
And yet again, from me an audible chuckle. I do wish my dear husband were still alive so curses as well as chuckles would have their place in our home. No, no, he would not be cursing you, Andy. He was, BTW, also an Andrew. We both loved you when we saw you at the Keswick.
That was such a fun night!
With a Marine regiment standing by to protect incoming ambulances and EMTs to treat National guardsmen for ruptured hernias.
or a very bigly catapult
Now that is a visual I wish would really happen! Thank you, Paul!
--out over the Potomac!
and a trampoline at the bottom of the stairs, to shoot him back up when he falls . . . Ricochet tRump!
🤣
If he had toilet paper stuck to his shoe, it might have prevented this from happening.
No, the toilet paper was stuck somewhere else--where he cannot reach!
LOL LOL LOL! Oh, thanks for the great laugh!
<golf clap> and his fly unzipped
RFK Jr advised me to not touch the same hand rail the Joe touched as it had old germs.....so, its Biden's fault yet again!
Has anyone advised RFK of the health risks of using tanning beds?
Maybe tanning beds should be modified to shine on airplane stairway rails. It
would kill germs bigly! After RFK, jr. fired the CDC panel on vaccines, the new members
of questionable alternative health professions will go for it!
Wait! What if we hit the stair rails with a tremendous, whether it's ultraviolet or just very powerful light. Or disinfectant, where it knocks it out in one minute!
Brilliant- then Trump could turn orange without application of lurid makeup just by getting in his steps on Air Gorce One
Too funny!! Keep the laughs coming, Andy! Helps us stay sane.
Geez! He looks just like the head goblin from Gringotts Bank in Harry Potter. Really!
LoL!
OMG - Look at that photo. That man puts the RUMP in Trump!
Totally believable story. Thanks for sharing.
Yes, and I think you could describe the whole "person" (I do use that term advisedly) as a fat ass. 😇
Susan Stone - you made me LOL. I totally agree with you. We can see from the photo that he is no more than a giant rear end with an organge head stuck on top.
I might even use "ass" as the first half ot the word.
So glad I could make you laugh!
and he constantly made fun of biden when he slipped on the stairs. he also wants to be carried in a sedan chair instead of actually walking anywhere
PERFECT headline, perfect photo. Hilarious. You did it again, Andy. Can't wait to see what you write tomorrow!
