Palin for Speaker!

Patriot ?

Hey, if the Republicans are thinking about bringing back prominent figures from the past, why not Wendell Willkie? He has 2 advantages over Sarah Palin: (1) As of 2022, he’s way smarter than she is and (2) he’s been dead for 78 years.

Shouldn’t this be an inaction figure?

Too many inaction figures already lol.

But it is sad that figures that were the height of absurdity just a few years ago, now seem comfortable and normal.

The film “Iron Sky” seems oddly prescient now

I focused my Twain-inspired anti-gun rant on Lying Ted. So far Palin hasn’t become a Senator… Palin is mostly irrelevant now, thank goodness for small blessings.

Smile?? That “action figure” is good for a belly-laugh!! Just like its model.

Something appropriate here about the people getting the government they deserve. The rest of us just hunker down until this sharknado with shrapnel included in the mix is over.

The Ukrainians are trying to survive deprivation and real shrapnel. The sane ones of us in America, moderately left and right of center, are trying to cope since January 2017 with the mental bombardment of ignorance and insanity that has now infested all levels of our democracy.

Years ago a mental disorder might be diagnosed in 1 out of 500. Now it’s 1 of 5. It would follow that they would be represented in Congress and had their four years in the Oval Office.

I was wondering if Mama Bear would actually speak out about the cowardly Texas cops. So far, except for a few minor leaks, the Blue Dam is holding firm.

What’s truly amazing and kind of sad is that Klondike Barbie in her delusions somehow STILL thinks that she is in ANY WAY still relevant.

What is MTG?

The famous video with TWO TURKEYS!! Not for the squeamish! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7HEFmFOlSaQ

I’m a Democrat, but McCain had my vote until he chose Palin. I just couldn’t figure it.

Like the former President, I think Sarah Palin was unqualified to hold the public trust, IMHO.

Sarah Palin was born dead – between the ears.

I prefer Michael to Sara.

I’ve been following politics for over 55 years, and I have never seen or witnessed a politician butcher the English language like Sarah Palin. Then, of course we were unfortunate enough to have t-rump follow in her footsteps.

How was the doll updated to know about MTG?

Remember when Palin was the weirdest thing in politics?

Sigh…those were good days…

ahh the good ol’ days when Sarah Palin was just controversial.

No worries. Stupid is self-charging.

No fancy USB charging port. Because, that’s what ‘they’ want you to give up all of our traditional charging methods.

Thank you for the laugh, it’s been a rough week and we needed that!

Stop voting for republiguns.

Send her to Ukraine. She can use her “I can see Russia from here.” line.

Only the best people…

With over 40% of voters classifying themselves as independent, I’m still hoping for I viable third party alternative to this two party BS. I’m just not seeing any leadership on it now.

Who is the character who is making the call? Sam?

OMFD No. We have enough idjits

Gas prices have doubled in two years, there are shortages on everything, and the free world is run by a senile child-sniffing plagiarist. But golly, at least there are no more mean tweets.

“Spotlight” and “good Twitter likes” are the whole of it. She craves attention.

For continuity, here’s the original Sunday strip: https://www.gocomics.com/doonesbury/1997/06/15

Somehow it seems the people on the right have a lot of memory issues:

“I’ve never heard President Trump ever say that.”— Georgia GOP senatorial candidate Herschel Walker, asked if he believes Trump’s claim that the 2020 election was stolen

I don’t see how Sarah Palin’s word salad could make anybody smile (except maybe a political cartoonist). Especially when she stands a good chance of winning that Congressional seat, in which case she’ll make laws for all of us.

It’s a special election with, like, 78 candidates (I haven’t counted lately) on the ballot. In those cases, the person with the most name recognition tends to win. That’s how Arnold Schwarzenegger (Der Gropenfuhrer, in Doonesbury) and Jesse Ventura were elected governors, and how “reality” TV host Donald Trump pulled ahead of a pack of a couple of dozen primary candidates.

I honestly don’t know which character the blonde is.

The next thing you know, the Kardashians will be running for office. Such is the state of the nation…

I miss Harold Stassen

She’s teaming up with the #ObnoxiousMTG ?

So let me get this right, The Dems gave us the highest inflation in 40 years. Gas prices that are beyond any thing we’ve seen so far. He cut our oil production his first day in office. And this is a good thing?Do y’all live in a fantasy world? Or, are you as brain dead as Joe?

Don’t forget the wide open southern border.

For the uninitiated,that’s BD and Boopsie’s daughter,

Great teddy bear,

ROFLMAO!!!!

TELL me Sam isn’t still a fan….!
