Hey Jay, I really want you to lighten your work load for the new baby, BUT, please don’t stop Xeets & Giggles. It’s the only publication that helps keep me sane.

It keeps me sane, too!

From a Fox affiliate:

What countries don’t allow convicted felons to enter? #16, The United States.

Now we just gotta get him to slip away for a bit ...

Someone stand in Moscow and wave around a giant Big Mac.

They would have to actually bring one from somewhere else, since McDonalds pulled out of Russia. Fun fact - Russians tried replacing it with their own fast food chain and immediately started running out of essentials, like potatoes to make french fries, because they didn't know how the supply chain worked.

New acronym for your consideration: SLOL. Snort-laughed out loud.

I considered and rejected "SOL" (snorted out loud) because we need to keep the original meaning (Sh** out of luck) reserved for Trump's legal woes and election chances.

Also: I'll be disappointed if I don't see rubber chickens with a Dark Brandon logo on them soon.

The chickens also need glowing red eyes

I think every prosecution table for all of The Convict's remaining trials should have a big rubber chicken on it.

Expand full comment

Probably a sustainable objection there. What if the first row of observers behind the prosecutor's table have a rubber chicken head pinned to their lapels like poppies? And maybe line the halls or the stairs in front of the court with an extensive honor guard of rubber chicken wielders, all of whom raise the chickens in an arch formation like swords?

LOL!

You're certainly right - but let's make 'em do it. (Assuming you know the judge has a smidge of a sense of humor - no sense pissing off the judge on day 1).

I like your suggestions, though - those would be difficult to articulate an objection to!

TRUMP: I beg your pardon?

MCCONNELL, (after trump's impeachment acquittal) It's up to the Courts to decide.

MCCONNELL, (after the courts decided) the charges never should have been brought in the first place.

I think his flip flop (aka, hypocrisy) surprises no-one!

As always Jay, you make me lough out loud every Saturday! Much love, but two things:

1. At 46, I felt the bird watching tweet in my soul. I never in my life paid attention to birds, but now I find myself taking pictures of my birds in my backyard. Worse, I have named them and talk to them. Yesterday, I watched my neighbor’s cat eat one of my birds. Nature can be cruel, but I have not advanced to binoculars yet. As he said, it’s a slow process.

2. Don’t most of us here feel like Judge Simpson every day watching the unbelievable machinations of Trump and his minions? I have never identified more!😂😂😂

I first saw the clip of people cheering Trump’s conviction on SubStack. The next day I saw an article on my newsfeed by USA Today fact checking the video. They said it’s been on You Tube since 2016 and shows England’s last minute soccer goal against Wales during the Euro 2016. I followed the link in the article and the video shows the same crime cheering a soccer game.

It’s of course a photoshop meme. This has been around for 8 years! That’s what makes it funny here.

Expand full comment

Well that's too bad but in my head I'm gonna make it real lol

Expand full comment

Video may not be real, but I guarantee there were scenes like this all over the place!

Expand full comment

I took it for real because the guy on the giant screen bears a strong resemblance to Jake Tapper.

That is him! They superimposed cnn

They’re called memes. And watch out for AI. Tricky stuff.

I was skeptical when I originally saw it, especially as there was no information about where it was . That’s why I read the USA article when I saw the headline.

Expand full comment

Hilarious that USA Today felt it had to fact check it. I don’t know how that news outlet even still exists. And yes, you have to be skeptical of everything now. That’s why I love Substack 😊

My wife thinks that lovely musical wall is AI. I don't - I don't think any AI is quite that good yet.

I especially liked the supportive orange jumpsuits. Would like to see more of that.

Would like to see more of them (trump’s enablers) in actual orange jumpsuits for their actions on 1/6.

Another five star Xeets and Giggles - thanks for giving me a reason to laugh every Saturday. Loved the post with the music though

Wonderful collection of “He’s a felon” posts/clips! I especially enjoyed the silhouette of the rubber chicken at the Libertarian convention. And the zoom call with the judge, oh my. The best part was the driver’s reaction when ordered to report to jail! Have a great weekend.

So, do we get to make some other restrictions on eligibility for the office of the President now? Like, perhaps, no felons? Asking for a few million friends.

Expand full comment

It would require a constitutional amendment, very difficult to get these days!

True, but we can dream! :)
