RE: Greene's twitty tweet: What is it about Republicans and their inability to properly handle basic English, in this case the use of possessives? In her case I want to ask, "Enrich the Biden's what?" Cake recipe? Something else? I mean, I get misspellings on Twitter. But she's a congress critter. Trump has normalized bad grammar and bad spelling to the point where I swear, these numbskulls think it's hip. Or should I say, they think its hip?

I would agree with you except that I believe it's largely the smartphone spellcheck function. Plurals often default to possessives on my Android if I'm not paying attention to the phone's choice.

I want to know how many men propositioned the guy avoiding the stairs. Because that looks like advertising his wares to me.

He could have walked up the wall to his right much more easily - but that wouldn't make... whatever TF his point is...

Crossed my mind as well. Of course, he might have skinned a knee or two if his shoes slipped on the upgrade.

I wish there was a video with the appropriate soundtrack for pole dancing. The potential for future shaming when his employers, spouses or children see it years from now might demonstrate that actions - including homophobic ones - have consequences. At the very least there could be much mocking.

Gemma Pell = *Je m'appel*...too cute!

Ou, je suis (nom).

Also works and easier.

But not as funny 😵‍💫

Oh, I dunno - I'm picturing a French person looking at her expectantly (and a little sympathetically). "Je suis Gemma Pell". French person: "Et... ?"

It would actually be "Je m'appelle Gemma Pell", not "Je suis..." The translation works, but not idiomatically.

I know - thus the quizzical anticipating.

Jimmy Kimmel vs The Cats. How to decide, how to decide?

The scary thing about the Kimmel video was how quickly the MAGA hats were able to pivot. The first lady didn't miss a beat. I've said it before. Alien invasion. Worms inside the brain. We're doomed.

I think I got whiplash watching the interview.🤣

Right out of The Bodysnatchers...starring, ironically enough, the actor Kevin McCarthy - no, not "my Kev"!

Indeed!! I'm head shaking on this decision 🤣😂

The MAGA stuff is pathetic but the cats😆😆😆😆

Gemma Pell Teresa! 😂😂 Lots of laughing reading this Xeets & giggles. Excellent animal videos. As a woman, I have to say thank you for the “find the church” funny.😆😆👏👏 Thanks, I always need laughter to get through what’s going on here.💕

The Jimmy Kimmel video is proof that Trump voters will never, ever be persuaded by facts. The cognitive dissonance would make their heads literally explode if they started to see the truth. Needed the cat videos after that one!

Gemma Pell, indeed. Did you know that ChatGPT translates into French as "Cat, I farted"? Chat = Cat, G = J'ai = I, PT = peté = farted.

Haha - re the cat watching TV: Back when TVs were pieces of furniture and sat on the floor, we had a cat that would sit in front of it and bat at the downhill skiers when we watched the Olympics. 🙄🤪😁

I had a poodle who, when I was watching a Rick Steves video where Rick was standing in a large piazza full of pigeons, jumped down from the foot of the bed, went first to stand up on his back legs to inspect the screen then went around behind the tv looking for the birds.

Wanna get back at your Trump-loving relatives?

This guy wallpapered his parents' house with Trump photos. Sweep to near the end to see what Mom & Dad came home to.

I loved the Gemma Pell one! Too funny to qualify as a dad joke (which are usually quite funny themselves) ;-)

Lots of fun here, Thank you! Speaking of the Devil wearing Pravda check out this scoop on some Russian poop that may make it to a NY court (fingers crossed) may justice prevail;

re. Jonathan Turley talking about natural selection: I'm shocked to learn that the MAGATs now believe the theory of evolution. Those folks are full of surprises.

You’re an optimist, Jay. When I saw the story about the kid who showed up to the “dress up” event in a Spidey costume, I thought, “Oh, my. I hope the bullies didn’t wrack him up too badly.” And you thought, “kid’s going places.” I guess that’s progress!
