Mitch McConnell’s Hometown Newspaper Publishes Scathing ‘Pre-Obituary’ of the ‘Not Yet Departed’. A Kentucky reporter who covered McConnell for decades argued that the 84-year-old senator is “every bit the detestable figure that” President Richard Nixon was. www.yahoo.com/news/politic...

Wednesday July 22nd update: MAGA Mike Johnson's House has left the building. The August recess has begun. Again, since Labor Day is Sept 7, add that first week to August. Like in 2025, that gives Congress the remainder of Sept to pass Budget. The House chose to pass a continuing resolution 1/

Dumbday #549 (Dumbnighttime edition) Is The House In Session? with MAGA Mike Answer: Yes But probably only until Thursday or Friday. Because after their 2 week 4th of July vacay, they get another six weeks off! And, a heads up: Congress will be mostly closed in October for campaigning.

Remembered two days up, from 547 to 549

The House closes next week for August recess. Labor Day is on Sept 7. So add that week to it being closed until we find out otherwise

Gotta admit, I really was expecting the trophy the winner got to be a giant cup. The Stanley Cup is a cup Cups are time-honored awards (for some reason) Why turn it into a giant ball with hands on it? In fütbol/ soccer only goalies get to use hands. Now if it were hands on a cup that would be 1/

Everytime I hear about this replacement for Lindsey Graham, it seems like Trump adds her being the replacement "honors the memory" of her brother. Then it dawned on me that if you can blackmail one family member then you could use to same info to "honor" the deceased. www.axios.com/2026/07/17/t...

Trump backs Lindsey Graham's sister in Senate special election

Nordone has not publicly confirmed plans to run, but Trump's endorsement will vault her ahead of other GOP candidates.

DumbDay #544 We now must realize when he gets mad at someone, he wants them to pay him. When people delight him, he wants them to pay him. Old man just wants everyone else's $ so he can gamble with it.

DumbDay 545
Four panel Trump and a smoky background.

He walks along singing
"🎵 Gettin' paid by giving access to the rich who want to make more money!"
He stops and choked in smoke
"Ack! Where is this smoke from?"
"Canada!?! The place where we blow our smoke? Awesome!!! I just extracted money from them for a bridge they paid for and built!"
"Screw you and your Canuck smoke, Canada! I'm raising yet tariffs to punish you for attacking America with yer stinky stanky smoke!'
Smiles evilly, "'I'm a genius at making up taxes others pay that I don't!"

Gotta admit that was sharp writing. It was so sharp, I didn't recognize it as MY reply. Then I realized it was with that cartoon: Rubio in a High Chair (2022) To add a more recent rendering if the Ol' Boy- Formerly-Known-As-L'il Marco, voila: Former Golden Boy Stands In Oval Office Opulance (2026)

Medium Marco asks if China will cheat if he runs for President in 2028. The answer he gets:
He will become the President of S. America instead. Why? Because the current one wants a do-over for 2020 and he feels serving three times is just the solution needed for him to abuse more power

Marco glossing over his heredity; a region and an island nation's founding; how a large percentage of people came to this land is a cringe-inducing rewrite. Admit that things are not perfect, but say so diplomatically, Marco.

Marco on a high chair
Bananas and tomatoes won't defeat his American exceptionalism that ignores some exceptions to the whole greatness thing, which people like him (politicians) often do

DumbDay #411 The 411: Trump wants to rewrite the rules on who gets to vote. At a minimum, the changes will disenfranchise voters even if they have voted for decades. Then there is the poll tax aspect which is due to people likely needing to pay for proper paperwork to prove citizenship

Democratic donkey asks two elephants, one from the Senate and the other from the House, and MAGGLES Mike:

How are elections rigged?
The GOP has had a majority in Congress for the past two sessions, since Biden's term during Jan '23- Jan'25

Days, GOP's unfair voting "fixes" would  break voting so only you can keep getting elected 

MAGGLES Mike: Hoo boy! They're onto us!

All of those immigration detention centers sound horrible The despicable one that Ron "White Boots" DeSantis set up to detain people* is now closed. That is good but where do people go? (*perhaps guilty of civil offense and expected to crack and beg to be released so they can "self-deport")** 1/
