You had me at “trouser-snake charmer Handy Oakley.” Spit out my coffee and now cleaning up the mess over my tax returns. Thanks, Jeff! Sheesh. Lol!

When people talk about the self destruction of the GOP, all I can think is, “can you please just hurry it up?”

This is especially delicious this morning, Jeff! 😂 I believe Handy Oakley has already found a house in her new district where she wont be a congresswoman but will be working instead at the local Cracker Barrel out by the interstate. And she found a school for her remaining children who aren't yet in jail...yet. The Republican party is imploding even faster now. I can't believe this is real life! 🤣

So now we have ‘Honest Don’ and ‘Crooked Joe’, so named by Dumbo. These are the names t- has assigned to himself and President Joe Biden. We all understand dump has a simple mind, so it was a no brainer to steal Abraham Lincolns nickname “Honest Abe”. And how will we ever forget “Crooked Hillary” and how well that worked for trump. It also made lots of $’s for cnn and fox as they competed to see who could say, “But her emails” the most. So, now that is settled, the count can begin anew to see how many times the media call trump “honest” and Joe Biden “crooked”? Who will win this time around? “The once illustrious and dying NYT”? or how about NBC? which has long been a trump ass kisser, looking at you Kristen Welker, don’t get to close to trumps sphincter, it may suck you in.

“I’d rather sit down with Hannibal Lechter and eat my own liver.”

“So we’ll put you down as a ‘maybe?’”

This You Tube clip is instructive on how Katie Britt might have handled a bad situation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Icv1Zxu3qjQ&t=3s

This clip is ten years old, but after Katie Britt’s performance it takes another talented actress, Lisa Kudrow to show Katie what she should have said when it was proposed she should do her SOTU rebuttal in her kitchen.

Surely, Mike Johnson would want us to see the hand of God behind the current state of the GOP House. What message might God be trying to convey to Mike and his colleagues?

Let them continue their cannibalistic implosion as it’s only going to get better. I’m among the enthusiastic observers and am not above gloating as I make my way to the polls in November.

WTF did she mean by the "uniparty"? Totally deranged.

OMIGOD! This should be embroidered on pillow!

Thanks Jeff for setting the record straight about Ken Buck. I hadn’t realized he had been part of the tea party, but I’ll forgive him because he’s playing his part in ensuring that Boebert never walks up the stairs of the Capitol ever again.

GOP: Election integrity? We don’t need no stinking election integrity.

Rigging the Election is the GOP latest party game

Why do their egregious crimes keep being swept under the carpet? How can any self-respecting Republican stay in the party now that the party is all MAGA all the time? Anyone calling themselves a “Republican” now is complicit. Kind of like the Germans that lied that they didn’t know. Republicanism is dead. Get out of the MAGA party now and vote Biden to stop Trump! And vote Blue down ticket to get the rest of the sympathizers of the insurrection out too. If you have an ounce of patriotism left and to save our democracy, stop sending MAGA your money! You are being robbed of your dignity, sanity and common decency!

Thanks , Jeff! Any truth to the “rumor” Rep Buck will call for the ouster of Moses Mike as he heads for the door? Only takes one vote, right? Would be delicious to watch as they retreat to their Retreat.

Jeff you make (some) of this tolerable, so a grateful nation thanks you -at least those of us who read and not those who sit on their La-Z-Boy chair while injecting Rupert Murdoch directly into their veins while mumbling 'Make America Great Again'.

It all would be laugh out loud hilarious if it weren't for what continues to unfold in Gaza, the hostages still held, and Trump's boss in Russia talking nukes if Russia's sovereignty is threatened (of course it wasn't threatened until human garbage and crime boss Putin decided to invade other countries). In the meantime, climate change, growing national debt coupled with rising interest rates, and House GOP conducting 'investigations' with no basis in fact, evidence, or witnesses (at least witnesses not consorting with foreign agents).

In his most vivid LSD-fueled imagination, Hunter S. Thompson could not have imagined a so-called political party gone so deeply off the rails as today's GOP led by religious zealot Mike Johnson and idiots like Jordan, Gaetz, Boebert, and Comer.

I suspect if HST were alive he'd be writing the final chapters of "Kingdom from Hell -America born again at the intersection of a Kleptocracy and Theocracy -and is there a notable difference?"
