But it does go a long way toward explaining all the Junior-High-hiding-in-the-closet propensity for proving your manhood with all of the “grab ‘em by the *****” locker-room talk.
We should never forget that it’s worse than we could have imagined possible:
Trump’s proposal for Secretary of Defense, Pete Hegseth, has bragged that he had not washed his hands for 10 years because he does not believe in germs.)
If that was humor I can't say I get it. Nevertheless, someone once said "the pen is mightier than the sword, so knock yourself out." I'm sure your peeps will enjoy it.
We already know that your idea of humor is more like sticking it to Garrison Keillor and Friends by putting a lying rapist in the White House, installing a sex-trafficking pedophile as his attorney general and calling Kamala Harris vulgar names. Hardy, har, har.
Don't mean to be too technical for you but last time I looked Trump won quite decisively. Trump 1 / Woke Idiocy 0. I know you live in a fantasy world so I am delighted that you are enjoying yourself. Live it up my friend. You are going to need it. Trump 2.0 is going to be quite hard on you.
As the vote count continues, obviously he has won...but the margin continues to shrink. Not a mandate, not "decisive". Perhaps you consider yourself to be immune from the hurt that Trump and his unqualified minions will inflict on the U.S., but don't relax too much.
For your info- it wasn’t “wokeism” (whatever you think that is) that lost, but a booming economy, low inflation, affordable health care, investment in infrastructure, support for our true allies, as well as common sense and common decency. But apparently none of that matters to you.
You knew it was coming, didn't you? Ok, here goes...I love you like a brother, and have for decades, and please grow up; you are too great a writer/storyteller to stoop to schoolboy comedy. Especially now that trans rights and LGB rights will be attacked from the most powerful office in the world. We are talking lives here.
Please, Garrison, go meet and have a coffee (I love that you love coffee with strangers in airport lounges) with a trans person--you may have to work to find one as most dont stand out. Hear THEIR story.
You write that you wouldnt feel comfortable with your cardiologist being trans. Ok, thats an old sentiment from a time gone by, and you can grow, like everyone. Have a chat with a neice or grand-daughter over turkey and hear what they say. Even we old dogs have to learn new tricks.
Humor is needed now more than ever, and not at the expense of the most marginalized of us. Please.
Ryn, no offense intended with my post. I'm very sympathetic to trans folks. I just couldn't resist the delicious irony of Garrison's spin. Like many, I'm a little crazy now. If Trump had been brought up to be comfortable inside his skin with whoever he really is, the world wouldn't be in so much trouble today.
Appreciate how thoughtfully you worded this. I felt uncomfortable reading this piece and I laughed at parts. It’s knowing the real threat to the LGBTQ community, especially the youth, where I feel the joke is inappropriate. Their lives are in danger. Everyday. Especially now. That needs to be taken seriously.
Yes. I concur. Still I laughed because those who harm others - often GOP homophobes - are gay. All at risk are terrified. I’d be surprised if Garrison didn’t have trans friends. Or am I that naive or as you noted he does and has no idea? Oh now I’m upset I sent to trans family who may not find it amusing. My stress is so great, am I now finding humor at which I’d not normally laugh funny? I ask seriously.
Remember when Michelle Obama said she wasn’t proud? I’m not at all. I avoided the pledge all my life. Unsure how I wasn’t punished in ‘50s & ‘60s schools. It stinks being an aware child. And adult.
Hilarious! Love it! Keep it coming 😊
There’s another joke here…I can’t say but the MS boy brain just goes there…sorry.
You just couldn't resist could you? You took the bait. Funny as hell...but be careful out there!
Bait? I think not. Scary, though.
You are right!!! Point taken.
My first true laugh after the election! Thanks!!!
I'm embarrassed to say that I found your article quite funny at Trump's expense. It's OK though, he can afford it.
It’s Dawn’s endearing musky odor for sure…o’d’billionare.
Hmmm… interesting speculation.
But it does go a long way toward explaining all the Junior-High-hiding-in-the-closet propensity for proving your manhood with all of the “grab ‘em by the *****” locker-room talk.
Only you could make me smile about this! Thanks
I’ve had the feeling that Dawn has been wanting to tell us her truth for years . SCOTUS gave her immunity and she should use it!
PERFECTLY LOGICAL.👍👍👍👍

Oh my, I needed that laugh! And now I’ll have that image every time he/she steps into the spotlight 😂! Thanks so much!

Feeling pretty darn relaxed but thank you for your concern.
It is easy to be relaxed when you haven’t got the brains to be concerned. But you are still despicable, no matter how relaxed you feel.
By the way, Garrison’s sense of humor has taken him a long way. I guess the brain-dead are incapable of getting it.
That would be Mr. Brain Dead to you! 😂😂😂
Trump won by less than a 2% margin-
Hardly a landslide, but unfortunately enough to allow for a peaceful transfer of power before he burns the house down. Right now we hurry up and wait.
Soon, we’ll be able to say I told you so.
But Trumpsters may continue to live in denial even as they all go down with the ship, like lemmings to the sea.
I dare say I prefer to be ‘woke’ rather than a hypocrite or a bigot.
I'll soldier on as best as I can in light of your oh so sanctimonious predictions.
He did no better than the last two times…
For your info- it wasn’t “wokeism” (whatever you think that is) that lost, but a booming economy, low inflation, affordable health care, investment in infrastructure, support for our true allies, as well as common sense and common decency. But apparently none of that matters to you.
Serious question- why the hell are you here? No one needs you.
Love it!
The limerick is priceless!
Trump is still living rent-free in your head, I see? Does the lease ever run out?
Oh yeah...!

Yes, that's the unfortunate part. He is, at his core, a frightened child
*niece

I want to travel back in time and un-recite the Pledge of Allegiance. I feel deeply unAmerican.
Remember when Michelle Obama said she wasn’t proud? I’m not at all. I avoided the pledge all my life. Unsure how I wasn’t punished in ‘50s & ‘60s schools. It stinks being an aware child. And adult.
And the thing is, Michelle said “For the first time, I’m proud” and that got twisted into “She hates us.”
