Freaking brilliant! Yup. Love. Can't get enough. Mr. Biden is starting to sound a little like the orange monster. In a word, his message has morphed to "I alone can fix it." Sound familiar? Ego abounds. Joe also doesn't seem to recall promising when he campaigned in 2020 that he would be a one term president, but I remember. At this point, though, I'd vote for a soda can as long as it was a Democrat. Thanks for making me laugh today.

Ha! God actually said “fakakta?” Wasn’t Joe just a teeny bit fakempt?”

Terrific! When is the Good Lord going to strike Trump down with a mighty hammer or at least a lightening bolt?

No afterlife for Jews? Way to hit a girl when she's down, Your Ineffableness. We always knew Adam was your favorite.

Brilliant and hilarious. Maybe your primo execution of an idea? I am sending this everywhere. (Let us hope for new subs.) I shall likely never forget, "She was good while she lasted." (And wouldn't that be a hoot on a headstone?)
