I realized I missed an opportunity with Botox victim: The Internet #NeverForGaetz

One of your best compilations! I understand there was so much material to work with, but you skillfully put it together. This will power my week in anti-Trump activism. Thank you !

I agree! Like H.B, I am a prolific postcarder and I'm getting ready to gear up to start phone banking for some state and local candidates here in NC.

Did you attend the Red, Wine & Blue call this past Monday, with historian Heather Cox Richardson speaking on Project 2025? They had record-breaking attendance! Jesica Craven reported the final attendance numbers as 42K! All on Zoom call on a regular Monday night!

I received an email from RW&B this morning with a link to where the video recording is posted on Youtube! Please watch if you were unable to attend - and share with your friends, family and fellow activists. It really fired me up!

Yes, I watched it with the rest of my 42K close friends. It was excellent and worth watching it again. Thank you for the youtube link.

Like H.B and you, Cheryl, I am a prolific postcard writer as well. I will receive my next set on Monday.

"...I watched it with the rest of my 42K close friends." 🤣 But I am involved in several postcarding groups online via Zoom and I really feel like I have made some good friends even though I have never met them in person!

Funny but true story. Our local Indivisble chapter hosts a social each month around the city/county. We also have a big postcard writing campaign with Postcards to Swing States, so July's meeting included writing postcards. I was seated at a table with a few people I knew and a few I didn't.

One of the women (who I hadn't previously met) mentioned in passing that her house was postcard pick up point (there are at least a dozen in the County) and that she lived in Huntersville (a smaller town at the north-end of the county). It dawned on me that one of my postcard writing friends (who resides in southern CA) has a daughter-in-law in Huntersville who had volunteered her front porch as postcard pick-up point. So I told her, "I think I know your mother-in-law". She thought I was mistaken until I mentioned that my friend lives in CA and that I actually hadn't met her in person!!

I love these wonderful connections! It gives me great hope that together we will win this election on all fronts - President, House & Senate! Forget Blue Wave! BLUE TSUNAMI here we come!

H.B., have you considered writing postcards to help register new Democratic voters with Field Team 6 (https://fieldteam6.herokuapp.com/)? They have lots of great campaigns in swing states and swing districts. I am currently writing an NC campaign around Donald Trump as a felon. They also have lots of campaigns in swing states plus target house districts around Project 2025. I'm toggling between GOTV postcards (many with mail dates in October and the FT6 postcards which are "mail as you go".

I have avoided watching any political stuff this week to save my sanity. Matt Gaetz new look made me laugh out loud. Scary for sure.

I'm surprised Gaetz as Liberace didn't make the cut.

Oh, I didn’t see that!

There are several versions! And one of my keyboard player friends was all, "Oh, come on - didja HAVE to make him a piano player?" LOL!

Oh that’s brilliant!! He did look like Liberace!!

Poor Liberace!

Expand full comment

Exactly.. Liberace was actually gifted and talented and he had a face lift.. The botoxed copy not even a little bit.. his claim to fame is going to be a full face pic as a warning sign to ALL on the box of Botox cosmetics.. ‼️ warning ‼️ do not over use unless you want to look like a Matt Gaetz TRANNY..

I've been on a 'sabbatical' from the news and social media the last couple of weeks for the same reason. It's just too much and apparently not getting much better. Jay is pretty much my only lifeline.

As a retired person you have made Saturdays something to look forward to again!

I admit I went into reading this thinking nothing can make me laugh right now. Oh, but I was wrong! I made it all the way to the Matt Gaetz memes and about spit out my cherry Coke Zero. I needed that. Thank you Jay for making me laugh even when I’m feeling down in the dumps. You always cheer up my Saturdays❤️

I think Jay's Saturday columns need to come with a safety warning: Do NOT take a sip of anything while reading "Just for Xeets and Giggles" - you know like the choking hazard warnings that come on the boxes for kids toys that contain small parts.

Thrilled to finally see the dots connect... males wearing makeup, obvious cosmetic surgery and playing dress up, it's okay when the GOP does it but not drag queens...so on brand when hypocrisy is their brand. Vote 💙

I'm so disappointed with the fashion fickled attendees of the convection; not a "Real Men Wear Diapers" diaper was there.

Yes, I'm with you! They moved on to the maxi pad taped to a non injured ear way too quickly! Republican and Ridiculous are as interchangeable as Maga and Moron. 💙

Jance Dance Vance 😂🤣🤣🤣 Thanks for keeping us sane, and have a great weekend Jay!

I'm still laughing about that one. Doubt I'll get it out of my head. Yay!

Why is it so funny? It's so stupid. 😂😂😂 I think it's just the think that finally pushed my overloaded brain over the edge after this past week.

Expand full comment

I'm not sure, but I think it's along the lines of, "I know you are, but what am I?" retort in kids' arguments. Like now I have something to say out loud when I read something that's both stupid and horrifying that the trump party is doing. JANCE DANCE VANCE!!! Just makes me laugh!

It's a solid strategy - many years ago I changed my ex husband's contact photo in my phone to the poop emoji and it really served as an effective disruptor for the emotional response of dealing with a narcissist. 💩 I usually hate the name calling but I think we're on to something! Slap some googly eyes on it and it really defangs ol' Jance Dance Vance. 👀🤣

I really appreciate and look forward to your Saturday emails. Especially today. I woke up, feeling particularly discouraged, and you are like a ray of sunshine that brings me a laugh. My favorite was the doggy cone. 😆😆😆😆 Thank you

It's worth noting that the Hulkster ended his pro wrestling career as a heel that no one liked anymore, in the ring or backstage. Guess that hasn't changed.

When trump** was first chosen by Putin (avoids the word “elected”), comics everywhere knew they had solid material for at least 4 years.

How little we knew then.

When trump** was first chosen by Putin, we woke up The Day After with existential dread.

How little we knew then.

Jay Kuo, you are simply the best covering both bases.

too many to count, though I will go with Well F, in memory of the number of emails I get telling me that the account I don't have with them is about to be closed for fraud if I don't call that 800 number RIGHT NOW. Let's see. The last memory was, yesterday? Haven't checked my mail today.......
