Are you sure the lion is not an **[anteater](http://montypython.50webs.com/scripts/Series_1/66.htm)**? You know, lively brown furry things with short stumpy legs and great long noses. I don’t know what all the fuss is about, O’Keefe could tame one of those. They look pretty tame to start with. Assuming he’s got a hat, of course. ---

He’s on a Schadenfreude roll today.

Only a matter of time until SCOTUS overturns this and says SHE owes HIM money. Today they said it’s okay for ICE to detain people based on skin color so the Fat Orange Monster is actually getting a lot of things he wants. ---

Yet another Trump-voting farmer feeling the pain of the tariffs. And in ruby-red Mississippi, no less. > **[In Mississippi Delta, even conservative farmer feels betrayed by tariffs](https://msindy.org/p/in-mississippi-delta-even-conservative)** > > Growers face dire consequences as a result of Trump's trade war > Lately, it’s almost always bad news, largely due to President Donald Trump’s ongoing trade wars. Crawford grows soybeans, and as of Sept. 1, 2025, not a single U.S. soybean from the upcoming harvest has been sold to China, which was previously the largest buyer of the U.S.-grown product. ---

It sucks that Trump created bullshit has to affect our economy in any way. But it’s about gol-durned time that people are seeing that these ridiculously unnecessary tariffs do certainly have an effect. I know that Trump supporters do their best to handwave away reality, but at some point reality is going to bankrupt your farm. On the bright side, maybe Johnny Cougar will write a song for you. ---

> [@Guest-starring\_Id](#): > > GOP’ers pissed with Joseph Meng…oops Steven Miller spreading rumours that he likes playing with dolls. I’m sure you meant to say: “GOP’ers who are pissed with Steven Miller are spreading rumours that he likes playing with dolls.” The way you originally worded it, it looks like the GOP is upset that Miller was spreading rumors about himself playing with dolls. (Which seems weird but Miller is a weird, evil dude.) ---

At the risk of invoking the ghost of Godwin, this immediately came to mind: [![](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FiTD5Q24.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=6a0630d81798392a8d11cf09b6c0e15122954ed7baf78901befec7b008c1a4ea) ](https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=http%3A%2F%2Fi.imgur.com%2FiTD5Q24.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=6a0630d81798392a8d11cf09b6c0e15122954ed7baf78901befec7b008c1a4ea) (According to some commentary I’ve seen on the image, it was taken when the Russians were at the gates of Berlin. But it was probably a better use of his time than most anything else he could have been doing.) ---
