To paraphrase the spirit of an SNL skit,”The. Iranians have no cards? Iran has a strait.”

Jane Gutsell's avatar

Also a royal flush down the golden toilet

MLK's avatar

And an arce in the hole.

***snortle!!!*** (snort + chuckle)

nacreplus2's avatar

Love that word! Exactly my response to Andy's latest masterpiece. "You have no cards." !!!

John Townsend's avatar

--with the Donald's head inserted within!

Kate Delano-Condax Decker's avatar

Hilarious comment! :-) !!

Clym Yeobright's avatar

Trump has announced he is replacing Vance with Tommy Tuberville. JD’s brlliance was making jared sad

Erik Bruun's avatar

As always this is very funny.

I am so sick and tired of this cast of characters, though. My inclination is to just boo them off the stage. The farce has gone on long enough.

We need to get some serious people back in charge. This crew is steering our globe out of earth's orbit. The stakes have gotten too high.

Clym Yeobright's avatar

Why, Floof, that’s precisely what my pharmaceutical bill has come down!

John Townsend's avatar

This crew should be shot out of earth's orbit on a SpaceX rocket!

Christine Iwasa (CA)'s avatar

Jane Goodall said something just like that.

Dorothy G Ferguson's avatar

They've not only destroyed so much, literally and in goodwill, they are making fascism great again. Ram some spines into our justice system!

John Townsend's avatar

We do not have a straight flush for Donald--yet!

Tom Watt's avatar

And all Trump's holding is black aces and eights.

Jocelyn B's avatar

I don't usually watch SNL stuff but the recent episode, which Jay Kuo linked to in his "Just for Skeets" is really hilarious. It's toward the top of the very long post. https://statuskuo.substack.com/p/just-for-skeets-and-giggles-41126

Great line right on target

Stephen  Mauris's avatar

Vance’s chief of staff noted bitterly: “That Leo guy? He never once thanked JD for converting, sort of, to Catholicism, or to Donald Trump for making him the pope.” Vance was no available for comment except to say, “Y’all need Jesus.”

Susan Barnes's avatar

I have worn this one out too. Maybe we should change to Jesus laughed, but it isn’t funny.

John Townsend's avatar

--and keeps doing so.....

bitchybitchybitchy's avatar

Don't mess with the Vatican. A track

record of 2000 years

John Townsend's avatar

--and they do corruption better than most!

Pradnya Sikand's avatar

Poor JD ! He really has the most thankless job in the world! 😂Neither Pope nor the Iranians show the least bit of gratitude! 😉

Paul's avatar

Melania has by far the worst job, what a hideous family she inherited by answering an ad in the personals

JD gets a bigger mascaria stipend too

Elaine Young's avatar

Melanoma got what she asked for - a rich old man.

Clym Yeobright's avatar

Actually, they were introduced by Klaus the Baron von Espy at the Pantalons Rouges in the canton of Uri, where she ‘specificated’ a very rich man with a wandering peepee.

SUZANNE Marie McAdam's avatar

So funny! Where'd you find that!?

Elaine Young's avatar

And Trump will disown him soon.

Clym Yeobright's avatar

Little known fact: JD joined the Catholic Church because he noticed there was too little righteous snake-handling therein

John Townsend's avatar

--and the snakes died when Vance handled them!

Gordon Shumway's avatar

including Usha... At least Melanoma's a good Catholic, right?

John Townsend's avatar

Maybe not a good anything, except mother!

Donna_H's avatar

She's good at cosplaying Hamburglar.

She had to remove the stripes, though, when hubby accused her of anticipating her future post-Nuremburg-trial outfit.

Gordon Shumway's avatar

hard to believe she's that either

Wendy Tucker's avatar

Melanomia is (maybe was) Roman Catholic but she strayed when she married Trump. Couldn't get married in RC Church to a (gasp) divorced man. He had two under his belt at the time, so they dropped a notch and found a fancy Episcopalian cathedral. If it was good enough for Henry VIII, good enough for Mrs. Trump, third edition.

Andy Borowitz's avatar

JD is having a rough week

John Townsend's avatar

I search my heart and soul for empathy for Vance. Oops! Nothing there, bad luck!

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

Poor guy, what rotten luck. He deserves a fun ride on the WAAAHmbulance.

Clym Yeobright's avatar

Ya think? The Cabinet has just invoked the 25th Amendment … against Vance!

Suzanne's avatar

It couldn't be helped. Word is that Trump and Rubio were busy watching boxing matches.

Al Gorythm's avatar

Bringing cards to a chess tournament is like bringing knives to a gunfight.

Nancy "Bee" Bayerle's avatar

Bringing Vance to negotiations is like bringing a pooper scooper to do heart surgery.

And Vance is the one creating the *$#!

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

Excellent snappish snarking! Well done, Bee!

John Townsend's avatar

--a Niagara Falls of it!

Wendy Tucker's avatar

Outfuckingstanding. Love the comparison.

flo chapgier's avatar

I really like your name Al 😳

Clym Yeobright's avatar

A spinner to a crap-shoot

Deb's avatar
4hEdited

Amen! I’ve been saying t sent knives to a gun fight with the three ‘delegates’ he sent to ‘negotiate’…..

Nancy "Bee" Bayerle's avatar

Al, you deserve an award for having the best pseudonym on the planet!

Annette's avatar

Jay Deviance doesn't necessarily have a good track record with visits and/or negotiations. He visited Pope Francis and boom, the pope met his maker. He visited Victor Orban and boom, he loses the election. He visited Iran and tensions have escalated. I think Mr. Deviance needs to stay home, on his couch, drink Mountain Dew and have some BBQ. He has no cards, no chess pieces, no game.

BTAM Master's avatar

He needs to visit Trump in person as soon as possible.

Annette's avatar

yes, kiss the ring, bend the knee and lay at his feet (because he could trip him, you know, with his cankles and such, and boom . . . a fatal face plant)

MLK's avatar

Yes, please!

Susan Stone's avatar

I agree with you, but having done a high speed face plant several years ago, I'm not sure I'd wish one on anyone, even trump…

John Townsend's avatar

Besides, Trump's brain is so full of fat, it just might bounce right back up!

Suzyb's avatar

😹thanks for making my morning. Wish I were as witty!😊

Tricia W's avatar

...no dignity, no morality, no finesse, no backbone, no sensitivity, etc. No excuse.

('Jay Deviance' - so good!)

BTAM Master's avatar

But when alone, couches moan his name.

John Townsend's avatar

Well, those cushion springs have already sprung!

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

I think those are groans of "Holy crapola, get this mo-fo offa me!"

Laura Allen-Simpson's avatar

Love Jay Deviance as a nickname for him. Thank you for sharing that nugget.

Mary Roeser's avatar

I have to agree. I would find a hidey-hole if I ever saw Shady JD heading my way.

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

Shady JD -- excellent rhymey moniker and oh so true!

Right up there with Jay Deviance.

Annette's avatar

oh yes!! Don't look into his eyes!!

Joanne Elizabeth Schulze's avatar

Bush saw Putin's soul when looking into his eyes. No chance of having the same experience when looking into Vance's lying eyes.

Elaine Young's avatar

Agree - even tho Bush was an idiot

Clym Yeobright's avatar

Cherchez la femme, Annette: it’s USHA!

Wendy Tucker's avatar

I love your suggestions for what JD should be doing. But what about poor Usha? (Although she is well educated and so probably is no dummy, which makes me wonder about her judgment in hooking up with such a loser.)

John Townsend's avatar

--just the remains of a BBQ paper plate!

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

The couch is sick of that shit and recommends JD try it on with an Iron Maiden.

Joanne Elizabeth Schulze's avatar

Vance, last week's 0-2 loser.

Graham, he'll follow Trump's flatulence anywhere.

Al Gorythm's avatar

Lindsey AssKissinger

Annette's avatar

LOL love the statement on Miss Lindsey

Roland Saeger's avatar

He needs to drink a lot to numb the pain of being Trump's bitch.

Annette's avatar

I can't imagine how much you'd have to drink to numb that pain . . . it must be gallons

Roland Saeger's avatar

I'm not an expert in that form of cringing and self-loathing. But who knows? This fascist shitshow is just getting revved up.

Annette's avatar

let's hope they get revved soon, so they can fizzle and die sooner

John Townsend's avatar

--or pray they just stall out!

Clym Yeobright's avatar

A self-hating fascist?

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

Can such a seeming oxymoron be real? Look to Hitler -- I think the answer lies there.

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

Not hard to do, from what I hear about malodorous doo-doo duh-duh donnie.

Lorenzo's avatar

If Trump has all the cards, why is he so easily played? Maybe he's not playing with a full deck.

Susan from OC's avatar

He's playing Go Fish, but has no matching cards. The Iranians are playing high stakes poker, and they have a strait!

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

***snik snik snik*** Good one!!!

Michael L Flynn's avatar

Because tRump's cards are the Pokémon cards he stole from Eric.

MLK's avatar

Trump holds only jokers like Lindsey Graham.

John Townsend's avatar

He lost his deck years ago!

Joe Schmigel's avatar

Can we use "moron" if it is appropriate to the source to whom it is applied?

William Dickinson's avatar

Sums it up accurately. The hillbilly is cranky. Perhaps because the couches over there are not ideal.

Anders Haan's avatar

As a Norwegian I have a hard time not to think you have a kindergarten in the White House

Tirzah Mason's avatar

Oh please don’t insult our Kindergarteners - they have way more intelligence than anyone in the White House.

Annette's avatar

and they color in multiple colors, not just black Sharpies

Cynthia Wrinkle's avatar

Not even: kindergarteners are required to play kindly with each other.

Annette's avatar

and not throw food against the wall or call people names

Mary Roeser's avatar

Do not insult kindergarteners. They have way more intelligence (what entity doesn't?), way more maturity (what entity doesn't?) way more class (what entity doesn't?) than Agolf Shitler and all his flunkies, toadies, hangers-on and sycophants put together. That lot doesn't even have what it takes for nursery school.

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

Exactly snappishly snarkily right, GRRRLfriend!!! WELL SAID.

Clym Yeobright's avatar

H/t Art Linklater: Kids say the darnedest things

Pradnya Sikand's avatar

We have a daycare filled with tantrumy Terrible Twos ! 😂Our kindergarteners are far more intelligent, caring, articulate and better behaved! And they have a healthy respect for rules ! 😉

Annette's avatar

you are correct, Anders . . . a kindergarten in the White House and an insane clown posse in the cabinet . . . makes for many, many nightmares and poor decisions. What makes its especially aggravating is some Americans actually voted for this. I don't care if we have voter ID in the future; we might want want IQ or intelligence tests though.

John Townsend's avatar

That would disenfranchise up to 3/4 of the population!

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

What else makes it especially aggravating is some Americans STILL love what those shitiots are doing -- they perversely enjoy the stomping that most Americans AND the world are getting and cheer this shitfest on.

Kathy's avatar

Potus and his regime are like inspector clouseau when he dressed as the godfather: he got into an elevator with the bad guys

and farted

Check out this video, "youtube inspector clouseau fart in elevator scene"https://share.google/Te1Zj488gLtOh0P06

Annette's avatar

I'm sorry, I don't care how old you are, farts are funny.

Michael L Flynn's avatar

But I'm sure tRump's farts are like the vile, sulphury stench that escapes from the bowels of hell.

Annette's avatar

Oh, absolutely . . . like nobody has ever seen (smelt) before

Jay F's avatar

Trump sent his minkey to Hungary

Deborah solleveld's avatar

Pretty accurate really

MLK's avatar

The WH would function better if it were run by kindergartners instead of this criminally insane cluster.

William Dickinson's avatar

Some of our kindergarteners are studying the fundamental theorem of calculus.

Annette's avatar

someone has to be able to explain it to the tRump administration

Lizbet's avatar

As an American, I'm worn out trying to apologize to the world. I just can't defend us anymore. 😖😱

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

I hear ya -- it's exhausting and demoralizing. To quote Neil Young (with a tad of judicious editing from yours truly):

"Don't let it bring you down - It's only castles burning - You'll find life's always turning - And you will come around"

Fernando Manibog's avatar

Pitch perfect again! So good because it's ridiculously funny but scarily potentially true. I'm laughing but squirming.

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

I know, Fernando, right? Spot on -- both Andy and you.

Mark Blackman's avatar

When the Republicans spent $50 million going after Bill Clinton for lying about having sex with Monica Lewinsky, which depended upon the question as to whether fellatio is sex, he famously said the following. We should hold him to that standard along with his trainer, Donald Trump:

"You don't even have to be convicted of a crime to lose your job in this constitutional republic if this body determines that your conduct as a public official is clearly out of bounds in your role. Impeachment is not about punishment. Impeachment is about cleansing the office. Impeachment is about restoring honor and integrity to the office."

John Townsend's avatar

Listen to your own words, Donald.

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

YES YES YES!!! 1000 times YES!!!

minimalist5555's avatar

It's all in the movies: "The Mouse that Roared" = Trump starts war with Iran to lose war and rebuild Iran.....now, with the US blockading the Strait, it's "Blazing Saddles" - Trump puts himself in a headlock, snarls "Nobody move or the Orange One gets it" - then marches himself off to jail. We already had "Wag the Dog" ---- what could be next?

Elaine Young's avatar

Great analogies

Clym Yeobright's avatar

Just saw some expert on tv use your Blazing Saddles reference lol

Floofie Snapz Back!'s avatar

I vote for "De Duva" the hilarious mash-up spoof of Bergman's films Wild Strawberries and The Seventh Seal -- Death (tRUMP) plays badminton (not chess) to win the right to reap souls and misses the shot so loses the match when a dove flies by and poops a big splat on his black robe, to which Death grumbles in pidgen English with Yiddish accent, "Oi, I just got this schmatte dry cleanen." HOORAY!!! Ding dong Death is dead!!!

BTAM Master's avatar

Not true! Trump says US will blockade strait of Hormuz after Iran peace talks fail; Iran thanks Trump for continuing Iran's mission.

Deborah solleveld's avatar

How did Ohio elect him in the first place? Oh wait, they keep reelecting Gym Jordan.

Kathy's avatar

Gym Jordan is responsible for Trump… he persecuted Hillary, and Fox jumped in to help kill Hill politically. She could’ve been potus instead of Trump, and I guarantee we wouldn’t be in so many chaotic messes. Not funny

Deborah solleveld's avatar

We’ve had two chances to elect women and we ended up with him. What is wrong with this country? Rhetorical question.

Kathy Beaudry's avatar

He had big bucks leading the way.

Deborah solleveld's avatar

It’s always money isn’t it. Citizens united has to be one of the first things to go if we ever get a government that cares about the people again.

Carol Lama's avatar

As usual, Andy, you have succinctly summarized the Felon's wasteful non-accomplishments in this little excursion.

Jay F's avatar

Hilarious.

JD as effective in Iran as in Hungary.
