I live for these Saturday newsletters, especially when the news the rest of the week is so heavy. Great to have you back and I'm so happy you had an amazing trip to Africa. You deserve every good thing. ❤️ And P.S., I do not recall consenting to actual footage of me stress-eating being released under the guise of a sea cucumber feeding. 🤷‍♀️

Sea cucumber wasn't eating, just licking his fingers.

Dreary day here in Philly and this column completely changed my attitude! The NBC decision with Ronna is baffling but sure made for some funny memes! And Candace Owens...talk about a worthless attention seeker. 🙄 While Mark Cuban is sharp as a tack! I found myself trying to encourage that poor baby bird too. HA! Always look forward to your Saturday compilation! Thanks!

She truly is an attention whore in the truest sense of the word

Jimmy Kimmel's spotlight on how dumb Trump supporters are is both enlightening and depressing. Our education system is woefully lacking or else there's simply too much lead in the water, especially in Southern states.

The lead is from all the bullets they've fired into the air.

That was a fun batch! I'm sorry to be this person, but the Dahmer joke made me laugh the most. I'm going to have to report myself to somebody.

I really haven't paid any attention to MSNBC since Morning Joe gave us regular doses of Trump in the mornings before he won the 2016 primaries. So it's not like I can stop watching them. I stopped way back then.

Consider yourself reported! We all laughed hard with you. 🙃😎

I'm right there with you. I thought the Dahmer joke was awesome :)

It was the woman covering up to breastfeed that produced prolonged laughter with me! I look forward to your comments every day, but Saturday's are the best, so thanks so much. Jay!!!

Trump's Good News: his share of Truth Social could be worth approx 3.6 Billion dollars.

Trump's Bad News: by the time he can sell any, it will probably be worth approx 464 Million dollars.

All so great and SUCH a needed balm 💖 My vote for BOTW (best of the week) is the breastfeeding mom who compliantly "covered up" ... her head!!!! Stick it to 'em. Literalism works every time with morons.

I'm a new American citizen! I knew I'd be able to answer those citizenship questions much better than Trumpzombies!

It's a funny clip, but it makes me mad, specially since those are the kind of people that tell me to go back to Mexico 😠

I hope when you go to Mexico, it is only to visit. We are better and stronger because you are here with us as a citizen!

Thank you so much Andrea! This is my home and I will fight for it.

We are happy to have you here! I wish it could be a 1 for 1 trade- for every person that passes the test and becomes a citizen one of these idiots gets booted out of the country.

Thank you Pam. I can't believe I'm finally living here and now we have to deal with these awful people.

Expand full comment

Yea that sucks, I feel for you. But I certainly hope there are more of us good people than the awful ones, it probably depends on where you live.

I live in Buffalo, NY. A blue state with a lot of bigots! The city seems to be saving us from becoming purple. I love my city anyways.

Best column in my inbox. Thank you, Jay!

I love your Saturday newsletters. I share them in the #just-for-laughs channel of our Markers For Democracy Slack. I agree that they particularly welcome after these weeks of heavy news. We'd love to host you on one of our morning zooms some time. We've hosted Robert Hubbell, Simon Rosenberg, David Pepper, Jessica Craven multiple times, and we have Rachel Bitecofer coming on Monday morning. I know many of your readers joined us when we hosted Sundays For Suozzi earlier this year. https://markersfordemocracy.org/
