I feel safer already

Starfish are next.

Seashells can themselves be fitted with nukes. Thus the story of _On the Beach_.

Barbara F. Morse's avatar

Obama continues to shellac trump, every day and in every way.

😉Andy, Your satire is very sharp and mischievous this morning! 😂Now I feel so safe,😂 I can stop demanding gun-control like all sensible Americans! And when we, the people finally seize the ill gotten wealth of the Trump family , could we endow a charity for seashells? 😂💕

Because guns don't kill people. Seashells kill people. So support your right to bear personal MANPADS -- man-portable-air-defense-systems (not to be confused with Maxi Pads -- thems for libruhl sissies).

Shore enuff I do, too!

She sells seashells by the seashore. And now she's on an "America's Most Wanted" poster.

Elisabeth Birker's avatar

Me too❣️ Thanks, Andy❣️😂😂😂

The Trump administration and Republicans will haul people into court over seashells but not sex crimes against children.

Department of Justice - Sea Shell Victims Unit. Coming soon to CBS!

Mark Lip's avatar

DOJ-SSVU. Love it.

starring the cast of Deadliest Catch, with guest appearances by Leonardo DiCaprio (because, you know, Titanic)

we need this meme!

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

It’s on Facebook, Crazy Eyes Kash Patel sitting at his desk with a conch to his ear.

Octavia Redwood's avatar

has he heard anything newsworthy?

Mary Gilbert's avatar

Yes-they’re serving cold beer at the Tiki Hut at 4pm

Phil M.'s avatar

The DOJ is already Trumps "Special" Victims Unit. Since it's only job seems to be attacking anybody who scares him.

Sandra Nicht's avatar

seen on Bluesky:

"if you took all the undocumented people who illegally voted since 1988 and multiplied by all the transgender athletes who played in any sport in 2025 your total would still be less than the 37,720 number of times Trump was mentioned in the Epstein Files."

Al Gorythm's avatar

Additionally, Trump has had more felony convictions than the amount of undocumented people convicted for voter fraud since 1988.

And soon it will out number the sea shells at the sea shore

Diane Smith's avatar

Wow. Very good math. (Very bad truth.)

Diane Smith's avatar

This is the part that makes me cry.

Paul Snyderman's avatar

First, they came for the seashells. I did nothing. Then they came for the seashore. I did nothing. Then they came for my sister - She sells seashells by the seashore. Then it was too late.

Judith Richards's avatar

Brilliant 👏 👏 👏

It's Come To This's avatar

Now that was bloody brilliant -- winner, winner, chicken dinner. 👏

Erik Staub's avatar

what a juxtaposition, clever and on the money.

Gjay15's avatar

Profound actually

<snort laugh>

Colleen Keefe's avatar

Sally is another sad American out of a job selling seashells by the seashore.

Shannon Kincaid's avatar

First they came for the seashells—and honestly, who had the courage to admit they weren't a little shell-shocked? 🙄

Felt compelled to write a haiku:

He banned all the shells.


The ocean kept making more.


Blue wave, undeterred. 🌊

Sandra Nicht's avatar

Big Seashell intends to give him a big golden one with his name on it so they can once again sell seashells by the seashore...

LHS's avatar

The Golden Seashell Peace Prize!

Anne J's avatar

Congressional Republicans praised the move, calling seashells “woke calcium.”

Paul Ehrenzeller's avatar

Bivalve brain with shrimp hands doesn’t realize that sea shells don’t kill people, people kill people!

Annette's avatar

excellent description of ConOLD

Carol Hatch's avatar

We spell seashells by the seashore….now a crime apparently.

Lorenzo's avatar

What's really scary about this post, it sounds like it could be true.

Andy Borowitz's avatar

Everything I write is true.

Pradnya Sikand's avatar

And remarkably prescient! 😂💕

Lorenzo's avatar

Thanks, Andy. That was my belly laugh for the day.

Judith Richards's avatar

How often people forget that!!

Irna Gadd's avatar

Andy’s posts mostly ARE true, just from a different angle. This one is a rare instance of complete fiction - and who knows: Don the Con might just decide to do this!

Ralph Porter's avatar

What am I supposed to do with the dangerous seashells on my mantle????

Erik Staub's avatar

It’s too late Ralph! ICE will be there with no knock fake warrants as they are undocumented and definitely immigrants possibly from shithole beaches.

Annette's avatar

Drill small holes in each shell and send them to the White House; they can be held there until tRump gets sent to prison, where he can make necklaces and exchange them for Diet Cokes.

I've heard there will be a special branch of ICE to collect the shells - the SSHIT team

Paul's avatar

I've personally suffered with a form of sea shells all my life.....bone spurs...they prevented me from serving my country...but now I'm compensating, some say over compensating by leading as president.

Elaine Young's avatar

I know this is supposed to be humor and I enjoy your comments daily but really when will all this madness end! I don’t just mean trump - the entire system is fucked when he is allowed to remain in office or in any capacity of influence. Has everyone gone crazy? We are supposed to be celebrating our anniversary of democracy but have nothing but chaos in government - the economy is about to collapse - the environment is being wrecked - all by a handful of people who care for nothing but their own asses. I’m 83 and beginning to look forward to dieing!

Elaine Young's avatar

Apologies for my tirade - don’t mean to bring everyone down.

Suzanne's avatar

Rest assured that many of us feel as you do, Elaine. No apology necessary.

Roland Saeger's avatar

I feel the same way you do, Elaine. I'm 65, by the way.

Annette's avatar

No need to apologize, Elaine ~ at one time or another, we've all been there. What helps me through is thinking, "the bigger the crime, the more gruesome the time." tRump wants to be remembered, and he will, just not the way he thinks it will go down.

Cindy La Ferle's avatar

Yikes! I'm going to clear all the seashells off my book shelves at home! Thanks for the warning, Andy!

Phil M.'s avatar

This might have a surprise ending. Since Trump is just a shell of a man. And his house of cards are held together by shell companies.

Larry Williams's avatar

President Donald Trump today signed his one millionth executive order naming everything in the world after himself. "Frankly", the president said, "this should have been done a long time ago."

Annette's avatar

I believe the world will implode if that happens.
