It’s hard to know where to begin, because the past two weeks have been very bad for Trump – making them very good for America. So I hope you won’t mind that this post is a bit disjointed and not a smooth linear, chronological flow of events.
First, let’s address the medical concerns regarding tRump’s emergency unscheduled “routine” visit to Walter Reed Hospital – with the White House doctor riding right next to him. But the White House staff and tRump himself assure us that he’s in perfect health. (Riiiggghhhttt)
In fact, “Team Trump” (part of his 2020 campaign) released an X-ray to prove it:
BREAKING: An X-Ray image has been released from President @realDonaldTrump’s visit to Walter Reed

Well, of course the Twitterverse wasn’t going to let that go unchallenged. There were many, but to save space I selected just two:

Speaking of Speaker Pelosi, I think you’d agree there are folks who can throw shade very well – but there are few who can so expertly throw shade that it causes an eclipse. And Speaker Pelosi did just that this past week when she stopped in mid-sentence during a press conference – turned to the cameras and patiently explained to tRump what the word “EXCULPATORY” means:
I love it when Nancy Pelosi shades trump:
It's called an inquiry, and if the president has something exculpatory – Mr. President, that means you have anything that shows your innocence – then he should make that known."
SHE has the best words.pic.twitter.com/FaEnSLcjwC

What can one say about Speaker Pelosi …
Staying with the theme of educating people, I have a question for Rep. Jim “Let’s-Wrestle” Jordan. You stated: “… Ukraine, one of three most corrupt countries on the planet.”
That then begs the question: If Ukraine is as corrupt as you claim (and since Paul Manafort’s ties to Ukraine landed him in jail, that would seem accurate), why would tRump trust Ukraine to investigate two American citizens for … corruption?
But the two weeks of bad news didn’t stop tRump, despite being pummeled by witness after witness after witness, from trying to claim victory:
Well, of course – WE AGREE!
I can just hear the late-great Howard Cosell announcing the ringside action:
Trump is viciously landing punch after punch after punch …
Unfortunately, they’re all landing on his own face!
Another of my favorite moments (among many) was when Rep. “Bulldog” Ratcliffe (R-TX) made a humongous gaffe calling tRump a liar in closing with Ambassador Taylor, forcing him to “Yield back” while putting a knowing grin on the Ambassador’s face when Ratcliffe (reading from his own prepared script) mistakenly – but truthfully – said:
REP. RATCLIFFE: If they impeach President Trump for blackmail, or extortion, or making threats or demands they have to call President Trump a liar to do it. [BIG PAUSE] … I yield back.
The most heartwarming moment was when Ambassador Yovanovitch receives a much-deserved round of applause upon her departure:
And lighter moments, like “We Are All Congressman Krishnamoorthi” hashtag from his reaction after Rep. Elise “Screamer” Stefanik leaves him alone:
And of course Nunes great “Poker Tell” with a facial reaction that says it all right after the session when Ambassador Sondland admits there was, in fact, a “Quid Pro Quo”.
In closing, I think this pretty much sums up the past two weeks for tRump and republicans:

Sorry, the comment form is closed at this time.
All very funny indeed!
(I had thought that the head which needed to be surgically removed from Trump’s posterior was either that of Lindsey Graham, or Devin Nunes, or Gym Jordan, or maybe all three. I thought the part of Trump’s anatomy in which Speaker Pelosi was living rent free was Trump’s head. Perhaps I was confused.)
Most wonderful chain of funnies, with the wrestler punching his own face even funnier after Trump ranted on Fox & Friends for nearly an hour.
Yup, Republicans are totally fracked but will vote against removing Trump from office nevertheless. What else can they do after making all these ridiculous claims and excuses for Trump for all to see and hear. Well, at least they’re finally consistent in one area.
Very cool, Nameless!
So, what size shoe does Ms.Nancy wear?
It is nice to specifically see Nunes squirming!
I have heard the hypothesis that Dumpy’s trip to the doctor is a piece of a plan to set up the excuse, the possibility, of his stepping down for “Medical reasons.”
“I have heard the hypothesis that Dumpy’s trip to the doctor is a piece of a plan to set up the excuse, the possibility, of his stepping down for “Medical reasons.””
I could easily live with that.
Funny, accurate, and well said, Nameless.
Wonderful collection–would just add the icing that one of the four indicted related to Rudy has tied Nunes to Nunes’ own investigation with Ukrainians (and a related trip with his staff on the record for travel expenses we paid)
This is NOT going to go well for Nunes – but I think his imaginary cow will survive quite nicely!
X-rays..Check
The fixer: LOL !
Omg, the surgical procedure is hilarious!!!
Ms. Pelosi is the leader and best of Shade.
Forgot about Howard Cosell, he would have reported this perfectly.
Rep. Radcliffe…Most truthful comment he ever said.
Applause for Ambassador Yovanovitch..Wonderful !! She deserves it, and more.
Last three, …hilarious!
Enjoyed your post, Nameless. Thank you.
This is utterly hilarious, Naneless.
The x-rays seem to be so accurate of tRump….especially the one with the McDonald’s symbol.
The videos of nUmes and his buddies being so upset after the session with Ambassador Songland is awesome. Hate to see their faces in the coming weeks.
Loved it. Thanks Nameless
