Worth noting that Trump's new team of crackhead lawyers managed to misspell "United States" in the opening of their impeachment response.

Is Mike Bloomberg still Emperor of American Samoa? Because maybe he could keep Trump occupied by starting a war between their tropical fiefdoms. I mean, it wouldn’t be much of a fight because the Samoans would probably easily curb-stomp the Garys and Karens who frequent Mar-a-Lago, but at least it could distract Trump from more dangerous plotting and scheming, lol.

Man, those Samoans are a surly bunch

Oh my heart -- a Bloom County reference!

I first started reading Bloom County in the summer of 1983, when I had a summer job at the Battle Mountain, NV Gold Mine. The Reno paper I read carried Bloom County

Nice -- fado had 'em lying about the house in the 1980s. I loved them so much more than Doonesbury, mostly because the political references were easier for me & the situations sillier

Yup. You have no idea how much fun it was to manage the sports fields park during the Samoan rugby tournament...

Reading this was like smearing shit -- no, fine Trump Turds® -- in my eyes. Oh, not because it wasn't funny but the underlying truths are so awful, so depressing; that a huge segment of the population is cool with blatant insanity (theirs) and murder (Donnie's).

One can cry after rinsing the eyeballs with a Lysol and Clorox cocktail.

But a single criticism of this piece: Really needs a couple more "Sirs".

Trump is supposed to be chief dude among dudes, like in a cool Animal Farm. Today's episode seems to predict mass disillusionment among the discognoscenti, a most hopeful development for us fans of the popcorn!

Horn boy. Someone over at LGM dubbed him "Qbacca."

It’s going to be fun watching Trump’s latest attorneys trying to sandwich claims that “there was too election fraud and I won” into his overall defense of “I lost so you can’t convict me.” Meanwhile, the House Republican defense team is going with “it’s Nancy Pelosi’s fault ‘cause she’s boss of the Capitol police.” With all that going on, it’s hard to see how “we’re actually Antifa” will fit in, but I can see Trump throwing his most loyal supporters under the bus that way. The Super Bowl got nothing on this circus.

I'm excited to see the House impeachment managers have invited Trump to testify in his own defense. He can be there in person to say directly that the election was bigly fraudulist and so he was right to organize a coup, so he did it, and fuck us, we're spineless saps for using facts. We might get a real-life, incredibly moronic Colonel Jessup moment.

I am waiting for Conservative Direct to send me email solicitations on behalf of Marjorie Taylor Greene. The Nikki Haley, Rick DeSantis, and Hillsdale College alerts about the Deep State aren't as amusing as they once seemed.

The genuflection was great but the ululation was inspired. The Daily Beast refers to him as Jacob Chansley, but I guess when you first go into show business there's often confusion about one's stage name.

It's true. As Trump said, they are "very special."
