Trump peenballons got soft and wouldn't go up. Totally on brand.

"We do not know."

i also feel the penis balloons could go either way really. that's just a massive fail all around. it's bad and not for the way they were hoping people might think it was bad. a bad that transcends ideology.

Could go either way. It's third-grade peener joke material; perhaps that might hint of the possible source.

It's also amazing watching the masterful lawyering on the Trump side, who thinks they have a Perry Mason "gotcha" moment, when it's really like a Monty Python Gumby sketch.

Ta, Marcie. So, what are the balloons about? Are we supposed to deduce that Jack Smith has bigger balls? Of course the critters from Congress all showed all their asses. They're in a cult. Unlike Jim Jones, for one example, their lord and master has never done anything good for anyone. (People's Temple fed a lot of souls in the Bay Area once upon a time; no one should have followed to Guyana.)

From later news reports it sounds like it was a MAGA who was trying to say that everyone involved in prosecuting his God King is a dick.

JFC! These assholes have not evolved beyond middle school.

Todd Blanche, did he get paid in full upfront?

The wall on which the prophets wrote

Is cracking at the seams

Upon the instruments of death

The sunlight brightly gleams

When every man is torn apart

With nightmares and with dreams

Will no one lay the laurel wreath

When silence drowns the screams

Confusion will be my epitaph

Between the iron gates of fate

The seeds of time were sown

And watered by the deeds of those

Who know and who are known

Knowledge is a deadly friend

If no one sets the rules

The fate of all mankind, I see

Is in the hands of fools

Where are the Trump baby diaper balloons when we need them?

"COHEN: Based on the records, I think I spoke about both.

BLANCHE: We are not asking for your belief."

Yeah, hence "based on the records".

That's literally what records ARE.

Speaking of Jeanine Pirro, I started watching the second season of The Jinx on HBO, and I forgot that she played a part in the story. It's weird seeing her not act like a shouty drunken traitor.

I need reparations for the hernia I got reading this starting with hearing this entire paragraph:

"Outside is like Fort Knox,

you can’t get within three blocks

of this place if you’re not

a civilian,”.. passing by, and also to

99 luftballons

shaped like stubby penises

with pictures of [the] Justices

Juan Merchan and ... Engoron

and prosecutors ... Smith and ... Bragg"

to the beat and in the lead singer's trademark breathy whispering. 0

Those Peen baloons have Wonkette's fingerprints all over them!

"Decidedly meh" reminds me of a Pho restaurant in Dallas a friend branded "profoundly mediocre"

Tessie's avatar

Mediocre? So he couldn't decide whether they were friend or pho?

Hey, that's progress. Most of the Asian joints where I live are shallowly mediocre.

OT: Once again - trouble in paradise:

A House Oversight Committee hearing devolved into chaos Thursday night as Reps. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) clashed after the firebrand Republican accused Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) of wearing “fake eyelashes.”

.

The comment — which was made during a markup to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress — prompted nearly an hour of disorder in the committee, with lawmakers screaming over one another and hurling insults left and right, leaving Chairman James Comer (R-Ky.) struggling to maintain order.

.

The madness culminated Thursday night with a vote on whether or not to allow Greene to continue speaking during the hearing, which the panel ultimately granted in a 22-20 vote. Rep. Lauren Boebert (R-Colo.) crossed party lines to vote against allowing the Georgia lawmaker to proceed.

To say that the House has devolved into a low-rate middle school is an understatement. Waiting for hairpulling and pantsing. For that is surely what's coming next.

Props to AOC for this: "Baby Girl, don't even." And Jasmine Crockett: "bleach blond, bad-built butch body".

I, for one, would never take on Jasmine Crockett. She's way more than that manicure and false eyelashes. She can Bring It. Empty Greene, not so much.

Crockett took the genius route of making it a "parliamentary question", and therefore not only formally acceptable but entered into the record, unlike Empty Greene's idiocy, which was stricken.

"to hold Attorney General Merrick Garland in contempt of Congress"

This, but from the left.

Mary Hall's avatar

There is a rumor that alcohol may have been involved. Hard to tell with Empty Greene since she always sounds like a drunk mean girl.

Wookiee Monster's avatar

It’s fascinating that the only redeeming qualities that Greene and Boebert have is that that they hate each other’s guts.

Bleach blond bad-built butch body FTW!

Fucking media labeling Greene a "firebrand." STFU. You know who else was a firebrand, Adolph Hitler.

“Shameless attention wh*re” is too many syllables.
