How about calling it Xits? 😆

That's pretty good! Right up there with Xcrete (what you do on X) and Xcreta (what's been done on X).

For Trump, SCIF should stand for So Convinced I'm F**ked.

How on earth you have time to put this together every weekend is beyond my grasp, but I sure do enjoy these. Today, just the best!

I collect them up over the week, organizing them into categories as I go, then just plow through them. Takes about an hour and a half to two hours, once well sorted!

I have tears running down my cheeks and my stomach muscles hurt!😂 The tiny fingerprints, the historic preservation parade and the good boi are fantastic, interspersed with fun, fun, fun! We are not worthy.

The parade permit for historic preservation was inspired. That guy is a genius. I also enjoyed Hittin' on the Dock of the Bay. Wish you could have included one more meme I saw this week showing the brawl, the chair and Bernie Sanders sitting in the middle of it on a folding chair, mittens prominent. Ha!

“Fox and fools” is brilliant! From now on, I will think of them that way. Great collection, Jay. I laughed a lot.

I agree! I’m adopting it too.

The fingerprint record still has me laughing

And I don't understand how one man can hold things up.. especially when he's apparently committed a fraud to get into office

You know.... at this point, I am almost hoping Trump does something REALLY stupid, at which point his bail can be revoked, and he can just be put away to await trial. At least he won't be able to go to rallies and spew his nonsense in front of cameras.

I was wondering about whether he had to put up bail money at all. I googled around for a wee bit. Looks to me that he did NOT.

Would love to hear from others who are more confident. Thanks.

It’s not clear that there is bail money. I haven’t seen it, but there are pre-trial conditions, which are enforceable.

Thank you, Jay. I’ve noticed folks in various newsletters, etc mentioning revoking bail and was curious as I didn’t remember any mention of it in news reports. Thanks for your experienced response (and the great gathering of memes and xeets!).

I have a friend who is utterly convinced that neither tRump, nor any other President or ex-President of the U. S. will ever do jail time. Ever. I really want to believe him wrong, but I don't think he is.

Outstanding. The tiny little fingerprints....omg. Republicans should just quit politics (yes, please) and write sitcoms. I get that the funnist memes were not from Republicans, but they give us the material to work with. Seriously, far less dangerous for our country and really pathetically hilarious. I love Saturdays when they include this. Thank you.

Oh, for goodness' sakes (being from Minnesota, that's what some folks say)....When I laugh out loud, I pass these xeets and memes along to my (adult) sons. I'm certain they luuuuuv them. ;-)

But, it made me wonder. Are there Mom jokes?

So many great ones, but my favorite is still “heavy ifting.” with the spinning puppy a close second.

OMG, dad jokes for the win! :-D

Because of all the truly deranged QAnon crap we were subjected to about 'save the children from the Dems cabal' I think it would be great if MSM did a follow up of how many Republicans vs Dems have been convicted of child sex trafficking charges in the past decade, examples Tim Nolan, Ralph Shortey and just this week this creep who tRump, Pence and Gaetz+ have history with.

I think I was more focused on Carnahan because her husband Hagedorn was our representative.

Expand full comment

I remembered about Carnahan being forced to resign,had forgotten about Lazzaro

The slow wheels of justice (and large swamp) contribute to the forgetting, fortunately his indicted co conspirator pled guilty, or it might have been longer.

I suppose it is useful to have a potty in a SCIF, to prevent having to sign in and out when nature calls. But are crystal chandeliers allowed?

$500 per A?! When I was in junior high (a long long time ago), there was a kid who said if he got straight A's, his dad would pay him $50. I told my dad (because I got straight A's, sigh), and he said: "If you got straight F's, then I'd pay you $50 because you'd need the money."

It didn't motivate me to flunk out, by the way

An outstanding crop of Xeets & Memes. As a historic preservationist, I particularly loved the Historic House Parade, sent the link to the Executive Director of our local historic preservation organization. Tiny fingerprints definitely comes in at #2 for me but it's hard to choose among the others, they're all so great though the puppy-love one comes close. Thanks.

Sorry, can't believe I forgot about ranking *very high* the Dark Brandon memes & xeets.
