Sunday Funnies: Special Triple Feature, Part II
The hits keep coming, and so do the constitutional questions.
By mid-afternoon, most Americans have finished brunch and resumed doomscrolling.

Turns out “drain the swamp” was less a policy and more a staffing plan.
We’ve entered the “quiet part out loud” portion of this cursed timeline.
The culture war mysteriously ends whenever sponsorship money enters the chat. Honestly, a National Bloodsport Event at the People’s House should at least be sponsored by Sam Adams. You know, something a bit classier than a light beer.
Foreign policy by mood board remains an underappreciated governing philosophy. Nothing like waking up every day wondering if we are still bombing the citizens of another country or if our magnanimous “leader” has declared his unique understanding of a ceasefire.

Take care of yourselves, enjoy your beverage of choice (we don’t judge), and remember: in modern politics, today’s outrage is tomorrow’s merchandising opportunity.
