Just for Xeets and Giggles (12.23.23)

The big news this week came courtesy of the Supreme Court of Colorado, which agreed that Trump is indeed an insurrectionist and, under the 14th Amendment Section 3, booted him from the state’s primary ballot. Good liberal folks worried, though, about what this might mean for our democracy going forward.

Some of the MAGA folks were supremely unhappy and have threatened “civil war” over it.

The right was now quick to say the courts should just stay out of our elections.

Of course, Trump’s primary ”opponents” couldn’t wait to express their outrage at the ruling. They might as well have said, “Pick me, pick me, Donald!”

Don’t threaten us with a good time, Vivek.

The question is now going up before SCOTUS, and there’s already a problem with that.

If you heard her latest single, this next one will land.

Trump was furious, of course, over the ruling. Here’s his niece’s take.

I guess it’s too bad Fred Trump didn’t use a condiment.

The championing of the literal text of the Constitution by Democrats seemed to catch conservatives off guard.

And does anyone want to visit Colorado now?

Apparently some gay Democratic staffers were being very naughty and filming sex tapes in a Senate hearing room, proving that George Santos isn’t the only gay who thinks he can just get away with anything. The strange part was how very often the gay sex tape got posted by right wing figures across social media.

And excuse the language, but this was pretty funny.

Pledge break! Throw a little account upgrade in my stocking if you’re so inclined!

DeSantis’s press secretary had a bad day, apparently mistakenly tweeting the text message she meant to send someone.

People had questions about the weird neo-fascist hairstyle of Rudy Giuliani’s lawyer. But then there was this from an eagle-eyed observer:

Trump tried to explain how his speech about “vermin” and immigrants “poisoning our blood” wasn’t straight out of Hitler’s playbook.

Pro-tip: If your defense is you’ve never even read Mein Kampf, you might be a Nazi.

Kellyanne Conway got herself back in the news with this absurd take:

The memes that followed were worth it though.

One of the co-founders of “Moms for Liberty” apparently has been in a three-way romance with her husband and another woman, and there are of course sex tapes. Live and let live, I say—unless you’re a frigging hypocrite trying to criminalize all things gay for everyone else.

Bill Maher was back being completely unself-aware…

And since I’m in the UK, I found this from the BBC to be perfect. Watch the clip here.

Ah, the holidays and pets. It’s the perfect combo. Watch this little guy here.

I’ve never seen a dog make one of these before. Such a good boy! Watch him here.

This next video demonstrates the difference between encounters on the Internet and those in real life. Watch here.

Maybe this herd came for the legal pot? Clip here.

Gives a new meaning to Elk’s Club.

As a corgi lover, I can confirm this look.

Some people dress their animals in holiday gear. Some dress their Venus fly traps. Watch clip here. The result is fantastic.

This was me earlier this week, looking at my inbox.

A+ parenting with this one here:

Speaking of bongs…

This chef d’oeuvre would get a handshake from Paul on the Great British Baking show.

And this is so wrong but so funny.

People are still hating on the Tesla Cybertruck, and I’m okay with it.

As someone who’s landed on my ass multiple times on the slopes trying to keep up with my younger friends, this rang very true. Watch the clip here, audio on.

This child is now immortalized in this awesome rendition of a Christmas classic. Watch it here, audio up, but honestly, not too up…

I’m still giggling from it.

As ever, I leave you with my parting Dad Joke.

Omega my exit now…

Happy Holidays!
