The irony of it! The Trump era began with Russian pee pee videos and ends with Toiletgate — clogging up the plumbing in a poo poo scandal.
But the fact that Trump tried to flush documents down the toilet — or tearing them up, or swallowing them! (Barron to teacher: “My Dad ate my homework”) — in a house that literally has 28 fireplaces, is the ultimate proof of how incompetent he is.
I have to believe, no paper trash leaves the White House intact. So, why not slip the documents in with the menu from the chinese takeout and the flyer for vinyl siding?
@billopfer, the more times you respond to a troll, the more you solidify its position as the “featured comment” on this strip, where it’ll be the ONLY one that 90% of its readers ever see. Give some thot to doing as I’ve done here, leading off a separate, ORIGINAL comment with the name of the person you’re replying to.
^^^Yes, It deserves repeating: Why is anyone still replying directly to ZomTheInsaneAsylumKyrieEleisonBugEyedSquiggleman is one of those things that I can not comprehend. It is always sheer nonsense. The only thing more incomprehensible is the one or three who agree with the posts made…although, considering his multitude of monikers, they could be just sock-puppets.
The House select committee investigating the Capitol attack issued subpoenas on Tuesday to top Trump campaign and Republican officials involved in the scheme to send false electors for Donald Trump in states won by Joe Biden, as it examines the coordination behind the effort.
The panel sent subpoenas to six individuals who were involved in a brazen attempt to meet and submit fake electoral college certificates that formed the backbone of a Trump-connected scheme to have Congress return the former president to office.
Congressman Bennie Thompson, the chairman of the select committee, suggested in a statement that the subpoenas aimed to compel cooperation from the key actors about whether the Trump White House oversaw the effort to have so-called alternate electors participate in the scheme.
“We’re seeking records and testimony from former campaign officials and other individuals in various states who we believe have relevant information about the planning and implementation of those plans,” Thompson said.
The second set of subpoenas to people involved in the scheme comes weeks after the deputy attorney general, Lisa Monaco, confirmed that the justice department had opened its own investigation into the matter, raising the stakes for the fake electors and the Trump White House.
What we actually have is a superfluous story about cybersecurity researchers at Joffe’s company examining malware in the White House — from Obama’s term, not Trump’s — and there doesn’t appear to be any connection between Joffe’s firm and Clinton.
Maybe Durham and his team didn’t realize their court filing would be exploited as part of a public-deception campaign launched by Trump and his media cohorts. Perhaps Durham and his team knew what would happen and didn’t care.
Either way, when your weird uncle who consumes conservative media all day sent you all-caps emails about Trump being “spied” on, he was pushing a story with no real basis in fact. The original “Spygate” story was a sad joke, and its third iteration is no better.
The difference, however, is the reaction from congressional Republicans. In 2018, after the then-president said the FBI had spied on his campaign, GOP lawmakers made clear they wanted nothing to do with Trump’s nonsense.This week, congressional Republicans are taking the fake scandal very seriously. Republican Rep. Jim Jordan of Ohio declared today, “If they can spy on a sitting United States President, they can spy on anyone.”
In reality, “they” didn’t spy on a sitting president, but if House Republicans take back the majority, and Jordan becomes the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee, it’s a safe bet a congressional investigation into this nonsense will be a top priority.

That’s Pence’s chances of getting the 2024 Repub presidential nomination. He wasn’t quite enough cookoo-for-cocoa puffs when the chips were down.
