Ms. Spouse's superpower was finding great places to stay. I don't even know how she found that charming house nestled in the middle of nowhere, on the banks of the Jemez River. but she did.

Get some R & R, Jeff! There is a never-ending well of tRump’s imbecilities.

He writes better on four hours' sleep than I do on eight.

New Mexico has beautiful, isolated places that are so conducive for peaceful reflection. The state is truly a special place that respects individually and privacy.

I can see the Jemez Mountains from my house (east of ABQ). Relax, enjoy, eat at the Los Ojos saloon, find the Gillman Tunnels, soak in the springs and drive up to the Valle Caldera. There is a magic hike behind the cabin (often used as a movie set) right inside the entrance. Hope you see some elk.

MY lovely wife has an interesting superpower as well. In our 44+ years of marriage she has managed to never forget ANY restaurant's bathroom. It's a blessing AND a curse. We have a tie for worst crapper in Manhattan: The Nathan's in Times Square (RIP) and New Green Bo in Chinatown.

Pithy! That’s perfect! Katie is great! Pics are wonderful!

Fantastic job, Jeff....the only way I can stand to watch Mango Mussolini's meltdown is when it zips by like your list from Lying Social. Still, I have to stop it every once in awhile to say out loud, WTF??!!!

Katie's a real talent; loved her cartoons! 💙

Rest well...we're in for a bumpy ride! 😵‍💫

Wow....when you've lost Matt Walsh! 😂

And clearly Little Miss Ivanka Lookalike wrote that tweet because he would have no idea how to spell obfuscation and doesnt know what it means.

Katie is one talented gal! The cartoons are excellent! And the photos made my heart soar! Such beautiful memories. Get the rest you deserve. Thanks for being there for us!

That Ivanka look-alike is crazier than a shithouse rat.

Nancy Pat's avatar

Careful there! You don't want to insult shithouse rats!

A roach I just sprayed said “ I hate getting sprayed w/insecticide but at least you didn’t compare me to ersatz Ivanka”. I bet Natalie is one of the few of his minions that doesn’t call him “Mr. Trump” but “daddy”.

Erika Linden Green's avatar

OMG, someone knows, and uses, the word "ersatz" (correctly!). I LOVE IT, and I love that word. Cheers to you!!!

"Uh, Ivank--, I mean, Natalie, would you like to come sit on my lap and help me lie (with tears in her eyes) on my crappy app?"

Mingo's avatar

I like that Jeff called Natalie Harp a creepy stalker. WTF is wrong with her that she'd want to hang out with a smelly, ugly, decrepit old man. Doesn't she have a life of her own? Donnie's creepy stalker lives with him and Melania must be happy because she doesn't have to.

Susan Niemann's avatar

Her eyes are too close together. That's a tell she's not quite right. 😂😂😂

HI2thDoc's avatar

Hence her tunnel vision

Nancy Pat's avatar

Thought the exact same thing about "obfuscation."

HI2thDoc's avatar

Where he (she, Natalie) placed obfuscation and the parentheses don't make sense to me, as well as why he (she) referenced the judge's wife. WTF, unless it's an attempt at verisimilitude, to imitate his rambling dementia.

Sharon Hudnall's avatar

It's an oblique attempt to put a target on her back and intimidate the Judge, as he has done with other Judges.

Lauren Wolfe-Banker's avatar

Yes, love the drawings and that's definitely a tune I can dance to!

Stephanie Sepaugh's avatar

I *love Jemez Springs- attended a weekend workshop there a million years ago- and Katie’s comics are incredible!! I wonder if the authoritarian “rally” was his hope all along and if he’ll find a way to bilk billionaires/ charge supporters to attend it- or will he have to pay them to have bodies there. A cartoon of what taxpayers’ bucks actually support would be gobsmacking.

Her family must be so-o-o proud.

Question:

If a tree falls in the woods - and EVERYONE SEES rump cut it down, is it still Obama and /or Biden’s fault? (Asking for +330M ppl)…

(...yep, probably)

Doubting we will EVER be able to call out an emperor’s lack of clothes at this rate… :/

Maybe just his lack of big boy underwear.

Love Katie’s art work. She has you down to a T(iedrich)

When you’ve lost the MAGA cult for your sad sideshow, you suck even worse than I thought.

Instead of that garbage for our 250th watch Heather Cox Richardson’s 250 for 250, here or on YouTube. It’s excellent.

I bring you Shiticus von Shitsinpants and his wife “Incontinentia Buttocks”

What is in quotation from Monte Python, The Life of Brian

Shoshanna's avatar

Funny how one day they're the greatest acts on earth, fantastic entertainers who can't wait to come celebrate the nation's big 250th anniversary - and then, as soon as they realize that this event will be pure Trump-stroking propaganda and pull out of it, they're 3rd-rate money-grubbing has-beens who no one even remembers. That's Donald Turn-on-a-dime Trump for ya.

Hollie Rood's avatar

For sure! I’m just so exhausted from all his BS name calling, talking like a petulant sophomoric POS believing he’s the GOAT. More like an ASS. If only he’d STFU and leave us all in peace.

Not even a horse's ass, an ass's ass (to mix the UK and US usages)

Love for Trump is always a one-way street. Just ask poor Cornyn.

Susan P Thatcher's avatar

Katie has some serious chops as a cartoonist.

I would pay full retail price for a book of these Tiedrich Family Circus cartoons!

Michael Schoonover's avatar

love the They Might Be Giants comics. lol.

also, I just visited Mt Rushmore. no need for anyone to worry that Donny's face will end up there, for two reasons: 1) the rock will not support another face; they had to blast Jefferson's half-completed face off the left side (and move it to the right) because the rock was too unstable; the mountain can't support any more faces. 2) it's the most stupid idea ever conceieved, and it would never be allowed to even start.

Jane S.'s avatar

I appreciate the context -- but I wouldn't put it past him to try anyway and let the mountain face crumble. A day or two ago, I saw a clip on Insta that appears to be broken ground for that BS Trump arch, despite there being no authorization or appropriations for it and despite Burgum insisting there was no plan, barely even a proposal, just the day before in Congressional testimony .

TBM's avatar

“ it's the most stupid idea ever conceieved, and it would never be allowed to even start.” You think that is what would stop Donald? Look at how he’s assed up the east and the tinplate he’s covered the rest of the White House in. Oh The Kennedy center. I wouldn’t put anything past that asshole or his minions. If Mt. Rushmore collapsed he would say he meant to do it.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Don't be so sure. I had never thought the East Wing would be demolished, or that he would slap his name on every fucking edifice possible, or that he would stamp his pig face on passports, currency, national park passes, etc.

DJ Headthrob's avatar

NO idea is too stupid for this administration. Witness the $250 bill.

Leave me then. Leave me with my critical thinking skills, my ability to read and write long-form, and books without needing AI summaries.

Glad you had a great trip with Jeff, Katie and Norrin! Great pics of Claudia and your friends! We will get through this BS of fuckwit with each other!

I just want to know one thing: Why is he still alive?

People need to be reminded of this daily!!!

myhoopbabies's avatar

🎯 Excellent! People need to see this everywhere right now.

Terri's avatar

Katie is really talented, Jeff! I enjoyed her cartoons very much. You might want to give her a platform for her creativity and consider including more of her work in your posts. Her caricature of you is pretty spot-on, too. Glad you had a family get-away, sounds like a lot of fun and love was shared.

Katherine Marple's avatar

Loved, loved, loved Katie's rants and her wonderful comics. I love your disgust watching Jeopardy. Thank you for sharing Jeff.

Kelly Ann O'Brien's avatar

Great job to Katie! And to Ms. Spouse on the vacation choice! Get some shut-eye, Jeff!
