very disappointing performance from Gaffigan. I had ignored complaints from my lefty pals based on what I assumed were excerpted snippets all negative towards Harris, but then I watched the whole thing, and he hardly (and then obliquely) targeted Trump at all. One potentially great zinger about how if Trump owned the White House he wouldn't have rented it to Harris (referencing the racist housing policy of Trump and his father), but he sort of botched it in the execution. One line directed at Melania praising her purported biblical capacity for forgiveness (obliquely referencing Trump's adulterous behavior) that landed as if nobody understood it. And those are literally the only two I remember. EDIT: oh also the "grabbing a kitty" joke, but he immediately backed down from that one after a smattering of boos saying "I thought about leaving that one out."
I actually liked what Harris did in the video. The reference was for an older crowd. She's playing the game correctly. She gave Grump space to fail with no excuses.
I never really respected Newsweek as a reliable source of info, but are they citing RealClearPolitics as a credible source? I can do my own research on clown porn sites better than that.
"He knocked Harris for using a teleprompter — that old chestnut! — despite having opened his speech complaining that the dinner’s organizers did not allow him to use a teleprompter."
I'll just set this alongside:
"On the sixth day of Hate Week, after the processions, the speeches, the shouting, the singing, the banners, the posters, the films, the waxworks, the rolling of drums and squeal- ing of trumpets, the tramp of marching feet, the grinding of the caterpillars of tanks, the roar of massed planes, the booming of guns—after six days of this, when the great or- gasm was quivering to its climax and the general hatred of Eurasia had boiled up into such delirium that if the crowd could have got their hands on the 2,000 Eurasian war-crim- inals who were to be publicly hanged on the last day of the proceedings, they would unquestionably have torn them to pieces—at just this moment it had been announced that Oceania was not after all at war with Eurasia. Oceania was at war with Eastasia. Eurasia was an ally.
There was, of course, no admission that any change had taken place. Merely it became known, with extreme suddenness and everywhere at once, that Eastasia and not Eurasia was the enemy. "
He also canceled an appearance at an NRA event, though given his recent experiences with assassination attempts, that decision may have been less about being tired and more about not wanting to be in a room full of heavily armed lunatics.

Hahaha, Gary, you make funny joke. Everyone knows the NRA doesn't allow firearms at its events.
Just pointing out: Trump has cheated on ALL of his wives. Also too, Ivana Trump was Catholic, so he's been living in sin since he married Marla Maples. Melania is also Catholic, so I guess he'll get a Catholic funeral. Soon, I hope.
Trump Tower (no golf course) ? Probably would have to dig 100's of feet down to avoid all the tunnels and pipes and secret rooms (Underground by David Macaulay.)
Shoot him into space (with Musk) on a SpaceX Falcon rocket?
I favor Mar a Lago. That's on a barrier island which will inevitably be washed out to sea. Then the cells of his rotten corpse can be broken down into nutrients for phytoplankton to be eaten by fishies and go into the food chain to be ultimately be eaten by SHARKS! But no one will know. There won't even be a mention of it on Faux.
The NRA doesn't let attendees carry firearms into its events. They're not stupid enough to try to live under the same conditions that they demand the rest of us submit to.
She left the stage to Trump because at this point (and for most of the past 8 years) it’s a win anytime Trump is allowed to speak freely. He’s a cruel, dumb, foolish bully who makes any decent person cringe with disgust. Poor Chuck Schumer had to listen to him AND be close enough to smell his constant farting and, surely, foul body odor.
Harris took the high road, that’s all. She campaigned in a vital swing state. She didn’t pander to a religious sect that seems oblivious to the hypocrisy of embracing a person like Trump, and never really embracing Joe Biden, a truly devout catholic. That alone makes me more secure in my atheism.
Hmmm. Maybe this is why Harris noped out on that dinner.

"all his cracks tend to be below the belt." Did you mean to make an ass crack joke?
I saw cuts from that, did Trump's gang pay the people behind him to smile at his stupid awful insulting SELF PITYING REMARKS?
Feral Zoomers are awesome.
Jim.Gaffigan whispered something about Harris not being at the fun time dinner so he can go *whispers* fuck himself

Chestnut lol
"Chestnuts."
I think that is what Trump calls his manboobs, but I could be wrong.

Ta, Gary. So sick of the sanewashing. Politico truly is Tiger Beat on the Potomac. Ta, Charlie Pierce.

Which golf course will he buried in?
Mar-a-Lago by the sea, Nah, (he hates water),
Bedminster, Nah, it's Jersey, how low can you go?

Oh, he'll have a positive impact in his death, at least.
Jersey is probably the only place with a tax break for grave sites
FART
I heard that
“The best we can say about Trump is that he did not let out a fart audible enough to be picked up by the microphone.”
I bet that fart smelled of weak poop and omelette bar.
It was softserve.
baaarf
Gary, thank you for the laughs. Comedy gold. Admittedly, I’m two martinis and a deep glass or rye in, but I enjoyed.
For rye humor, see Hooper!
