Once again, thanks for the laughs based on the utter stupidity of some people. Senator Cavanaugh is a legend. The Democrats need more like her and her fighting spirit. The fact that she did all she could and she's still apologizing is exactly what's wrong here. It's the Republicans who should be apologizing to every group of people they continue to target with their hateful policies. I can't wrap my head around the kind of heartless, soulless minds that come up with this stuff. It must keep them up at night, making mental lists of all of the cruel things they can do to people, because they can. This is why accountability matters. Until that happens we will all be subjected to their hate. My empathic heart continues to break.

“It must keep them up at night, making mental lists of all of the cruel things they can do to people, because they can.”

That’s just it exactly. The cruelty is the point, the cruelty is the objective.

Not “protecting kids“ or “preserving parental rights” or “standing fife freedom” or any of the other obvious hypocritical lies that they give as the supposedly acceptable, sounding veneer on their vileness. The objective, the point of what they’re doing, the reason they do it is BECAUSE IT IS CRUEL.

They do it BECAUSE it hurts others. And they enjoy knowing they are in a position where they can cause pain.

Retelling dad jokes, and you're not even a dad.

You're a faux pa, Jay.

They’re called “Barbara” jokes at our house.🙄 I was brought up by a great punster dad. I once bought a book of puns at the grocery store. The checker picked it out and said, “Use a pun - go to prison!” 😁🤪😁

I might be late to the party, but my favorite meme of the week was "How do you milk sheep? Tell them the election was rigged and ask them for money"

Oh my heart is breaking for trans children and their families everywhere that are being targeted because of who they are and I salute Senator Cavanaugh for how she has stood up for those families for weeks. I’m just so disappointed that she couldn’t get the Nebraska legislators to open up their hearts and understand the damage they are inflicting on their own constituents, current and future, by pushing a harmful, vindictive, hateful bill. Shame on them.

I cannot help but be amused at the fact that a "manly man" used a T-ball stand to hold his beer so he made sure he hit it. 😆

So you made me feel a little better with this. I admit to feeling pretty beat up with all the sick and sad news...especially in my home state of Missouri. It's taking its toll on my frame of mind. I'm going to the gym then cook all day...that'll help. THANK YOU for your writing. 👍

Keep those dad jokes coming. They really make a point at the end of the post. (Period.)

I'm confused here...help me understand...

MTG is upset that someone released secret information that was true. The point to SECRET information is not whether it is true or false, it's the fact that it shouldn't be revealed since it can be a danger to the sovereignty of the United States. She has a higher clearance than many people who work for defense contractors, due to her just BEING in Congress...

WHY DO THEY STILL ALLOW HER TO HAVE CLEARANCE?!!!

State senator Cavanaugh comes from a family of wonderful politicians who care. She's the real deal.

“White, male and Christian”. To me that hints pedophile, Margie. 🤷🏼‍♀️ It’s not the virtue signal she thinks it is.

Hi Jay! How was Sweeney Todd? Trying to go see it in Sept. after we see Merrily We Roll Along. On another note, I wasn't able to open the videos of Rep. Cavanaugh or the jean folding guy. More manbaby Musk doing? Will try to find them on Twitter and TikTok.

Josh Groban was meant to play this role. Astonishing!

Anne, did you try clicking on that underlined word in Jay’s text, just before the screenshot of the video?

My favorite joke of all time, multipun.

“Time flies like an arrow.”

“Fruit flies like a banana.” (Yes. Yes they do.)

From the "truth is stranger than fiction file," re: the "My name is Harry Bolz" post... a one-time mayor of Fort Wayne, Indiana, was named Harold Baals. The street named after him near Purdue Fort Wayne - Harry Baals Avenue - was at one time well-known as a lover's lane. It's since been renamed to inlcude his middle initial.

ob. hack: it's constitutional to impeach a SCOTUS justice. It's just not possible...
