Just for Xeets and Giggles (12.10.23)

The week started off with George Santos departing Congress. To no one’s surprise, he refused to go quietly, blasting his fellow Republicans and airing their dirty laundry in a series of unhinged posts.

The record of Republicans departing their elected positions in disgrace was not lost on observers.

This is for you Dodgers fans out there, or anyone wondering if $700 million is objectively too much for one player.

Meanwhile, in the House Oversight Committee, there were further unsupported rumblings about impeaching Joe Biden, because apparently Trump really, really wants the GOP to do so. A loan by Biden to his son for a truck is now front and center.

Derision was quick and multitudinous.

I was guilty of this next one myself. Anyone else remember this?

Quick pledge break! I just hit my one year anniversary of paid support. Here’s a great chance to upgrade your account and support my work!

Okay, back to the Biden truck loan to his son. Hard to spin that into something nefarious, but Rep. James Comer (R-KY) sure tried!

Someone pointed out that these are his children, so that makes sense?

Comer isn’t the brightest bulb on the GOP holiday tree. Did he really say financially iterate? Roll the clip.

Maybe that’s just hard for Comer Pyle to alliterate? Or maybe he’s just rather illiterate himself.

Rep. Jared Moskowitz (D-FL) has a pretty good snark game, and this one came animated courtesy of AI. Remember, Rep. Comer opened this box himself by mocking Moskowitz for looking like a “smurf” at the hearing. Watch the clip here.

Speaker Johnson’s release of the January 6 security footage—on condition that they blur the faces of the rioters and insurrectionists—brought immediate howls. Not only was it likely illegal as evidence tampering and obstruction, it was also great fodder.

Luke Skywalker FTW:

In other stupid, defining moves, here’s RFK, Jr. talking about (checks notes), yeah he did that. Nice chyron, Fox.

Also, don’t ask questions that are such easy takedowns.

PragerU is still out being weird, but this one had me laughing.

Tom Fitton of Judicial Watch—the guy who advised Trump to declare early victory before Election Night—had this to say to the account manager running the Lake Superior feed. I’ve never seen a lake drench someone so thoroughly.

The Republicans-for-Second-Place held another debate, but someone forgot to plug in Ron DeSantis. Here’s The Daily Show with perfect commentary. Watch the clip here.

Moving on to more animated nihilism, this cat truly has the holiday spirit. Watch here.

The moves on this one are legend. Clip here.

They say dogs experience jealousy. Exhibit 1 here.

I love this so much.

Perhaps this is where Santa trains his team? Watch the cyclone here.

Okay, sometimes humans are awesome. This blew my mind. Watch here.

And this… is so true.

I giggled a bit too much at this, imagining him walking through the house and “taking notes.”

I send you out with a stock Dad Joke:

Have a great Sunday!
