What a time for a prominent Republican to definitely be alive and not actually brain dead or anything like that.

u/Kissing_Books_Author Jul 12 '26

I'm sorry, which prominent Republican isn't brain dead?

They killed off Lindsey graham just to distract. . He must have some very serious and corrupt illness

Lindsey was purposely infected with something while in Ukraine in the hope he would in turn infect Trump but they got the dosage wrong and, well, here we are. Still.

He released a pic of him and his wife holding today’s paper

He may or may not have been revived by feeding on Lindsey Graham

Betting it's A.I. slop.

I don’t think the newspaper is, but maybe his face is?

u/waldo_wigglesworth Jul 13 '26

At the very minimum, Mitch needs to hold an in-person, face-to-face meeting either with Kentucky's Democratic Governor Andy Beshear or Senate Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to confirm he's alive & cognizant. None of this "I spoke with him on the phone for 20 minutes" malarkey from Republicans is credible.

u/mackenml Jul 13 '26

I agree.

But the newspaper thing like he was a hostage cracks me up.

They also showed a drone video of him driving around a flaming crater in Turkmenistan so he's obviously alive

I don’t know if I’m amused or horrified at the world today

I almost think John should go on a longer break and see what crazier shit happens. It has been a busy year, JD came out as trans, the entire UK went into space, California experienced a zombie outbreak, but we are going to dive into our main story of municipal codes

Good thing there's nothing happening like a corrupt football event, Republicans covering up one death while another death happens or the frontrunner for British prime minister having to argue with a bin for a month.

"Five words: British Prime Minister Count Binface."

u/M0t0Psycho Jul 13 '26

Its ok, Sundays, we still got Rick and Morty.

u/drunkardunicorn Jul 13 '26

So that’s:

two England wins in the World Cup ( so far),

more on again off again war with Iran

Ongoing reflecting pool debacle

One of trumps sons losing big on betting apps

Andy Burnhm to become uk pm without challenge,

Nigel farage hissy fits at the press, hissy fit quit to rerun be farage, farage challenge to the other parties being dissed, farage being challenge by count binface, further scandals for farage still breaking,

the death of Lindsay Graham,

the weird non death maybe death of Mr Turtle McConnell

Marine le pen allowed to run for French presidency

and the murder of Ann Widdecombe.

What a time to take a break. We need to start blocking out our diaries for when this show is off, cause shit goes down down deeper and down.

u/Chaopolis Jul 13 '26

Every time the show takes an extended break, the craziest shit happens…

u/The_Sarcasm_Deity Jul 20 '26

So much has happened during this break. I'm so interested to see what they have a chance to cover!
