that's twice now that the supremes have smacked the Missouri GOP upside the head. how much you want to bet they pull this shit a third time?

Missouri Republicans never let the laws get in their way.

Susan Niemann's avatar

Thats because the residents of Missouri are D U M B. I live here. I know. 🙄

SeekingReason's avatar

Not all! There’s you, Jess Piper and everyone gathering to hear Jess speak. I have some hope there! But you are up against a lot with the number of crazy GOP.

Susan Niemann's avatar

Jess is a warrior. She will never give up! 👏👏👏

SeekingReason's avatar

She is beyond amazing! I cannot believe what she goes up against. And she is intelligent, a former teacher and has incredible leadership skills! Before we went to full retirement, I sent her a $250 donation/subscription…She deserves it!

"Most people don't know that there's a B in dumb." Another immortal quote from the stoopidest preznit ever anywhere, including middle school clubs

Meanwhile there's now a contempt investigation into the Missouri secretary of state by the state supreme court.

I got it on my SECOND guess the other day.

Of course, picking the right starting word really helps.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

I alternate between HOUSE and RAISE. the day that house was the solution, I started with house. the day that raise was the solution, I started with house

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

Yes, you can brag away! Very impressive! I got it in four.

Sister Artemis's avatar

I've got "you aint figured that out yet?" in four, and I'm truly stretching... finally got the first three letters, but DAMN YOU WORDLE!

I might be resentful because I broke my streak of 578 (!!!) while on vacation because I FORGOT, which means I was vacationing properly, but still :(

If I can get today's puzzle, I'll have attained a streak of 19. Sigh.

Tess's avatar

Yes….it sucked! hahahaha…got it in 5

serenity's avatar

I'm very impressed. I got it in five today. My starting two looked exactly like yours but then I went off the rails.

Joanne Rossmassler Fritz's avatar

That was a tough one! Congrats on three. It took me four.

Eskaveeda's avatar

I did too!!! Go us--we tied with the Wordle Bot!

Susan K.'s avatar

I’m impressed! Took me 5

I also solved it in three. Felt pretty good, but I only tied the bot, didn’t beat it. That’s my daily challenge.

Mike Hammer's avatar

Tell Piro who believes “it’s the fetus that beat us”, that babies on social security have worked hard in the womb and they are entitled to their monthly paycheck. Such a cruel woman.

How can she not understand how SS works?

BigDaddy52's avatar

Um. She's a moron?

HI2thDoc's avatar

Which SS? She sure understands the Schutzstaffel.

Natty is one super psycho crazy bitch. Look at that insane grin on her face just looking at what Jeff calls correctly, a “malignant toad”. I bet she got that 45K for “extra duties” besides cleaning up his shitty diapers. Ewwww!!!

Lisa Bieber's avatar

I think it was for extra doodies.

Steve in SoCal's avatar

I'm gonna start calling her Natsputin

rlritt's avatar

Yeah I'm sure she's a nut, but a girl has got to live. I'm sure she is stashing away gifts and bribes right and left saving for her old age. When her boss is gone, we can depend on a Tell All best seller.

Lisa Bieber's avatar

Depends commercial?

PEACE, LOVE, RESIST's avatar

She sold any dignity, respect and prestige she may have had before being known as the human printer. Now, it’s so much worse with the mystery of the large bag she carries and her crazed teenage behavior sprinting after his golf cart and grinning like a horned up shitweasel.

Well you nailed the ending with the foot slamming down—-we can envision a moldy orange-faced lying sack of ….(you know). Beautiful pictures of you, Claudia and KT!!!

Natalie has what a friend of mine calls twirly eyes.

Leigh Hamilton's avatar

Natty has serial killer eyes, and smile.

arne link's avatar

I just wish that she would get on with it already.

Sister Artemis's avatar

I'm uncomfortably reminded of both Charlie Brown's sister Sally (looking a Linus) and good ol' crazy eyes Michele Bachmann...

SeekingReason's avatar

Almost forgot about nut case Buchanan! Thanks a lot!😄

SeekingReason's avatar

Sorry…meant Bachmann

HI2thDoc's avatar

From last week:

Once the blonde devotee was spotted

The old lecher was instantly besotted

His handlers were shocked

Is he being stalked?

Or just being honey-potted?

TOM HESLEP's avatar

The feds won't prosecute under the federal statute. But states have anti-bribery laws too. And Orangeman broke them in all 50 states and some voting territories. Anywhere where his shit show was broadcast. He should be indicted in as many as possible.

I haven’t read anything about where that $45,000.00 “bonus” trump “gave” to only his “best” little girls, came from!

Without a confirmation, I will suggest the money came from the US Treasury, and not the felon’s personal bank account!

arne link's avatar

Of course it did. Trump stiffs everybody and no, that was not word play.

arne link's avatar

They threw this bash to support small businesses. Like GrindR, for instance. Why does that name end with a capitol R? I think we know the answer...The good news is that Trump looks sick AF.

Susan Niemann's avatar

Small business like GrindR. HAHAHA! Absolutely!!

Butch's avatar

You should have mentioned how a photo of Hasan Piker clad only in his underpants suddenly flashed on the Jumbotron during the convention. Both Balloon Juice and Wonkette have photos.

Jeff Tiedrich's avatar

yeah, I could have, but I couldn't figure out how mention it without derailing my narrative. oh well, there's always tomorrow

Sister Artemis's avatar

And, chances are they'll provide more material to work with today! In some things, they are quite reliable!

Susan Niemann's avatar

I saw that! WTH? The GOP is...weird.

Jeff, Donald has his cult gathering to soothe his hurt feelings fees concerning the terrible job he is doing in all areas and very low polls. Lying about the size of the crowd again……Todd Blanch, Donald’s criminal defense attorney, gives a speech as AG violating the manual about being political in his position…..Tim Scott gets up there shouting as if the crew from Laughing Pines in their white starched uniforms is ready for another delusional patient and finally that $5000 promise, but only if you vote MAGAS… I dunno, somehow this whole crew are committing crimes on National TV and they could care less.

HI2thDoc's avatar

Remember when you ran away

And I got on my knees and begged you

Not to leave because I'd go beserk?

WELL

You left me anyhow and

Then the days got worse and worse

And now you see I've gone completely

Out of my mind

They're coming to take me away

Haha, they're coming to take me away

Ho ho, hee hee, ha ha

To the funny farm

Where life is beautiful all the time

And I'll be happy to see

Those nice young men

In their clean white coats

And they're coming to take me AWAY

HA HAAAA

-Napoleon XIV

That song always creeped me out.

Everything is a forced meme with America's Pilonidal Cyst.

And yes, bribing voters is illegal, but laws and accountability are for Democrats only.

Steve in SoCal's avatar

I'm sure the DOJ will get right on it

Trump is simply yesterday's stake story in a media landscape that runs on HOT news.

That's sad for the snake oil salesman and great for American democracy.

Two data points will seal Donald's fate as a fully failed President and doom the MAGA-GOP in the midterms and 2028.

1. An average approval rating in the 35% range. Trump's now averaging ~35.7% and dropping every day

2. The DOW's collapse into the mid $40,000's range. It's dropped 1400 points in the past three days wiping out $800 billion in share holder value. If the average drops another 6000 points in the next month, Trump's economic mismanagement will have wiped out $4 trillion of investor value.

At this point, Rick Wilson's famous book title "Everything Trump Touches Dies" will be fully clairvoyant. The wealthy, investor class behind the BIG BULLSHIT BILL, will be forced to abandon their snake oil salesman and where will the GOP be post Trump?

We, the American People are winning the battle for democracy and a government that cares for all Americans. Be proud and we must bring back the 10 million voters who say out the 2024 election.

If it was a Python sketch, it might make more sense. But there’d have to be a wide variety of ways these fuckers were served by Fate. I can think of a few, but I’m not clever enough (and I’m still too rage-filled to be trusted with a screenplay).

Good one! I like ending with the Monty Python foot. We supply our own Bronx cheer.
