Solid roundup format here. The way you package these disparate stories with consistent satirical voice works really well keeps the energy up across all the segments. That hyena/warthog line for Bongino leaving captures something specific about his exit better than most straight reportng did. I've found tracking these weekly absurdities keeps me saner than doomscrolling individual stories, and the footnotes add a nice credibility layer that most satire skips. The pharmaceutical math joke landed perfectly btw.

Thanks, I appreciate that. I may do more of them at week's end. We'll see. I can't make a decision based on views this weekend because it's a crazy holiday weekend for many, so a lot of people will be doing other things, so I'll probably try one in January.

Remember the gaps in the Watergate tapes and Tricky Dick blamed it on his secretary Rosemary Woods. we thought THAT was an ultimate low. Somewhere Tricky is getting pissed that he got caught. The sludge running through every aspect of this joke of a presidency threatens our psyche like nothing I can remember. Reading your writing helps me keep my chin above the slime! Thank you!!!

"Ben Shapiro wet his pants"...HA! I wish. What a hateful piece of shit he is. All of them, really. I like this summary... informative with a perfect about of snark. 👏👏👏
