Y’all, I’m finding this hard to believe but  New York Times has reported that a Trump aide, Margo Martin, routinely recorded interviews Trump gave, so there might be more audio recordings in the hands of the special counsel.

More. Tapes. Kapow!

And since even Nixon had a better grip on reality than Trump, Bozo Boy will claim the tapes are AI with enhanced audio affects provided by Elon Musk and Jimmy Carter.

Every picture I’ve seen of Jack Smith he looks serious and downright grim.  You know he’s smiling in private, right?

One more thing.  Republicans are saying that Joe Biden is senile. Okay, let’s pretend that is true.  Then, I gotta say this: a senile Joe Biden is still a helluva lot smarter than Kevin McCarthy.

Well, he’s selling off his other airplane.  The little (9 Seater) jet, probably to pay for the renovations to his big ole honker airplane with gold plated seatbelts.

I just thought you might want to go have a look at it before some Saudi pays five or six times its worth. It’s a nine seater that is called sky rocket because it goes so fast.

I kinda think Trump should have kept it around, so he could fly his supporters to come visit him in prison.  A couple of the seats will be empty, and I don’t think his Trump Force One will be kind on his dwindling bank account.

Sorry to be so totally absent for a few days.  But, I’m well and have some thing to share today.

It’s always nice to know that Louie Gohmert is outta sight but still screwing up.  Come to find out, the unscrupulous sumbitch tried to make off with peoples’ money. Although he wasn’t running for Congress because he quit Congress to run against the currently impeached Ken Paxton and lost in a landslide, he tried to make money under the table.

The FEC caught him and he’s gotta pay it back.

Kinda makes you smile, doesn’t it?

I have two short videos this morning to relieve your stress level.

The first is Majorie Taylor Greene calling the House to order.

Wow Democrats just laughed at Marjorie Taylor Greene when she asked them to abide by decorum of the House pic.twitter.com/2jrLFyAEWg

And the second is Donald Trump’s – who is horrible person – proving that I don’t care who you are – funny is funny.  Please note the Jeb! font.

Look, Trump is my least favorite candidate ever.  But to see both Ron and Elon crash and burn was a delight.  Admit it!

There are occasionally moments that make you smile. They are hard to explain. We shouldn’t smile in these moments and we often feel guilty about not feeling guilty about someone else having a hard time. The Germans came up with a name for it. They called it schadenfreude. The closest English translation I have heard when describing this uniquely German word is “shameful joy.” It seems the notorious MTG was wielding the gavel for some stupid reason and she was trying to bring the House to order. As you might suspect, it went about as well as any of us could imagine.

I’m usually not one to laugh at other people’s misery. It’s like watching someone stumble down the stairs. You want to make sure they are okay first. After all, none of us really aims to be that big of an asshole at the end of the day. We aren’t rooting for bodily injury here. However, if someone just has a bruised ego we find ourselves unable to suppress at least just a tiny chuckle at their expense. The beauty of schadenfreude is that others feel it about us in equal proportion. Paul McCartney once said, “the love you take is equal to the love you make.” In this case, the bad vibes you take are equal to the bad vibes you create.

MTG is the kid in the back of class that heckles the teacher every day and makes his or her life a living hell. Then, suddenly when the teacher is gone the assistant principal gives her a dose of her own medicine and puts her in charge for a day. Suddenly, she gets to feel the way that just about every other adult in that room feels when they have to deal with her performance art. Normally, I wouldn’t condone this kind of behavior from anyone. Normally, I would say you need to rise above it all and show the world you are the adult party. That would ignore the fact that these are not normal times.

I couldn’t tell you how all of this ends. A part of me wonders whether this is just the natural course of things. I have to wonder if my parents, grandparents, and great grandparents felt the same way about their elected leaders. Did they see a few statemen mixed in with a whole group of performance artists that couldn’t care less about doing actual good? Was it always like this? Were we always somehow represented by the worst among us? Deep down, I know this isn’t true, but I keep holding out hope that we can somehow bypass these idiots to keep this thing going. In the meantime, enjoy a good laugh.

This woman is really bad at math.

And logic. And coherent reasoning. And trustworthiness.

But, she really good at being damn silly.

Really, Honey?  You’ve become a science fiction writer?
