i strongly encourage the white house to make vance the face of their shutdown defense, i cannot think of a better man for the job, this defense is flawlessly persuasive, keep it up

What a good way to ruin shrimp, scallops, and abalone.

It’s hilarious how world leaders make so clear that they think Trump is an idiot and easily manipulated and he doesn’t realize it at all.

“Here little boy is the largest cookie in the whole world, made out of rare unicorns and dinosaurs.”

And who can forget Megan McArdle's suggestion that schoolchildren be taught to "rush the shooter"? Maybe it's a good thing that didn't happen!

Wait until those people find out that Dr. Seuss wasn't really an M.D.

Person Man Woman Camera TV Coverup

Great idea.

Years ago, at 3 am in Barcelona, I saw a BBC show where a journo interviewed some official, and every time the guest evaded a question, the journo pressed and insisted he answer. I thought, "I never see this in the US."

That's true. Or he may stake everything on his "immunity" and let the process play out until he keels over.

I doubt Trump cares about MAGA or a successor. He's got his and that's all he cares about.

Cat with it's arms raised over its head in an arch, throwing strange shadows on the wall behind it

The cats are doing spells. I'm sure it's fine.

A colleague called me while I was home barbequing chicken. When I told him what I was doing he said, "Barbecuing chicken--not as easy as it looks." He was right and I think about it every time.

Give us out money back, or we'll withhold it and give it to ourselves.

Yes. Billionaires are to society what black holes are to space-time. They warp and distort everything.

My brothers and sisters in taxation!

Not just at his will. With the collusion and support of his political party. If Trump is a criminal (which he is), the GOP are the bent cops who help him pull off his crimes.

Putting the "tire" back in satire.

Forget it, Swin. It's the Sunday shows.

Quick! Trademark "Nakedly Nazi." Maybe for a line of SMBD gear. You're welcome!

Maybe. But don't underestimate the quality of utter stupidity.

(I should have added, about Americans being fat, "...and that's Biden's fault, going around telling Americans to eat ice cream all the time.")

After working on his ballroom all week and destroying the East Wing of the WH, Trump is now flying around the world to make deals with autocrats while refusing to negotiate with Democrats to reopen the US government.

There is no lie these people won't tell. "President Trump is showing some tough love for those people who won't get SNAP supplements. Everybody knows Americans are too fat. This is a fast, inexpensive way--to scale--to help Americans slim down."

Reagan’s words about tariffs are going viral after Trump’s insistence that they are “fake” created a “Streisand Effect”

Hear hear. Televised, if possible.

Bravo to the writers of this stirring document.

So Cillizza really is the choad everyone says he is. Huh.

This will make it all the more satisfying when we tear it down.

It's not explicit enough, though. It should be "The President Donald J. Trump Beautiful and Very Classy Ballroom, Okay?"

Sign in the bakery section of a Whole Foods Market, with yummy-looking cakes and biscuits in a case: "DEFLOURED Defloured 6" Cake $27.99" I assume they mean gluten-free, and it's not a typo.

When you don't use virgin olive oil in your kitchen

He's fighting FOR the taking over of the logical thinkings? In Nigeria and Germany? In the NYC mayoralty race? I'm in!
