I LOVE this Saturday morning summary over my coffee which puts me in a good mood for the rest of the day! THANK YOU! 😂😂 Let me add I think Jamie Raskin is a treasure.
One correction, though: the Empire State Building was lit up red and white as a quirky nod to the Taylor Swift snack as seen on TV Sunday during the KC Chiefs game / Travis Kelce "date". A sharp-eyed viewer noted two dipping sauces "ketchup and seemingly ranch," which triggered a hilarious avalanche of "seemingly ranch" take-offs from McDonald's to Walmart to (you got it) the Empire State Building. There even was a meme of two Swifty friendship bracelets -- one "seemingly" and the other "ranch." Americans are so clever!
The fool Republicans stupidly play with fire when they try to criticize Taylor. There will be Swifties retribution!!
Indeed. The Republicans’s worse nightmare is a woman of color (WOC) who is smart and doesn’t defer to them.
Republicans really aren’t used to being held to account, and the whole experience has got them seriously flummoxed. “But this isn’t how the world is supposed to work.”
I was going to make a comment about the Chris Christie video but by the time I finished this piece, I'd completely forgotten what it was about. That's how impactful the Republicans are these days (not). Jamie Raskin is awesome but the baby Rhino tops them all.
This weekly roundup and your lawyerly insight into the Trump indictments is what got me to subscribe....but mostly this roundup. (I don't subscribe to X, and I don't want to.)
I even like the Dad joke Jay , a good one !!! The rhino video... perfect ! Shows that humans don't know everything !! Hope those in the USA survive the government shutdown and nail the repugnants for it and not the democrats! I also hope that the " we the people " show the repugnants of how much they don't like the upcoming upheaval of their lives because these morons don't give a damn about the people, only with helping the orange buffoon !!
The House passed a continuing resolution this afternoon with the democrats help, now it goes to the Senate,then to the President hopefully before midnight tonight.
Their hooves are keratin, just like horns or hair. I’m not sure how I know that... but when I was a young woman, there was a product to encourage nice fingernails based on a product used to condition horses’ hooves.
Seriously it was an expensive nail cream in the nice cosmetics section at Strawbridge’s in Philadelphia. But a friend rode horses in the Army, and he hipped me to the mastery of a good farrier.
Same here. My daughter used to ride, and I have paid for farrier services, but I never knew in detail what went into it. Turns out, the farrier earned every penny!
Can I make one request? For those of us (and it could just be me) who absolutely refuse to click on a Twitter/X link because we refuse to give Musk the website traffic, can you link to some Threads as well? Not that I love Mark Zuckerberg, but in a battle of billionaire a--holes, he's (slightly) less offensive these days than Musk!

Too right, and every time I see Mike Pence on the telly, that line about Pence "voluntarily hanging himself" left me in convulsions.
Saturday smiles, all around!

De rien
Oh, I fervently hope the Swifties come for them. Also how cute is a Travis Kelce-Taylor Swift pairing? And I’m an Eagles fan.
Nobody should mess with the Swifty Kingdom - they’ll come for you...
🤞🏻🤞🏻I hope so!
Hands-down the video of the week/month/ytd...Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D/TX) going off at the farcical Joe Biden "impeachment enquiry hearings:

I hadn’t seen that but have now. Thank you for sharing that clip!!
Thank you.
Baby rhino, rhino, rhino, baby rhino . . .
My favorite email of the week! Thanks, Jay!!
I didn’t watch the Republican debate, but I think these screen shots are all I need to know. I laughed the hardest at the baby rhino.
Please, GOP, insult Beyoncé next!
That’s a great idea... then they could pick on Harry Styles (they haven’t even seen him yet) and let the Harries finish them

That rhino was adorable and the guy just being disgusted 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for our giggles. Today you showed us how a horse gets their new shoes. Fascinating!!!
Here's a Guardian story for your consideration. It is sad that I consider the Guardian to be the only major media outlet to report accurately, or at all, on the overt machinations of the Republican cabal. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/sep/30/conservative-christopher-rufo-florida-twitter-debate
Now, THAT is legitimately some scary, no-fooling-around bad shite.
Simply put, the shoeing of the horse was pure art! Thanks for that!

I was cringing at the "Pony Pedi"...! But even on vaca, you stop to entertain us! Thank you!
Me too. I dont know a thing about horses and at first I wondered if that was painful, but obviously not. Interesting stuff. 🤷🏼♀️
No more painful to the horse than you trimming your nails. Same thing.
Same with me. I watched the whole thing because I’ve never knew how it worked. Learned something too

Wow… ok. I had no idea. Thanks for that. In spite of my farm background I had very little interaction with horses!

Please Jay, never stop your weekly recaps. It’s my Saturday morning highlight. I get my coffee and start the day with a belly laugh.
Thank you for always being there for all
of us. I value your insight 💙

Threads doesn’t currently have a search function as far as I’m aware and that makes it really hard to do this at present.
Rats—that’s a failing on its’ (Threads’) part.
