Prickly City by Scott Stantis for August 24, 2020

More Dionne Warwick songs?

That, too.

Isn’t Carmen supposed to be a republican? Haven’t seen any empathy from them since the days of their fake “compassionate conservative” days.

What we need is more Trump policies.

Like the Covid one: LET ’ER RIP!

What are we up to now, 179,000 Covid deaths? Now there’s a policy that’s effective!

.

How many days till we hit 200,000?

How will Trump and His Disciples celebrate?

How about we get empathetic figs?

I would say both would be fine, though wouldn’t be opposed to chocolate chip.

Carmen is what Republicans were, when they were at their best. But fig newtons are good, too.

(The Borowitz Report) —

Calling it “hurtful and insulting,” Donald J. Trump on Friday said that Joe Biden’s pro-empathy speech at the Democratic National Convention was “deeply offensive” to the nation’s sociopaths.

Blasting Biden’s incendiary pro-compassion rhetoric, Trump said that the “roomful of sociopaths” with whom he watched the speech found it “alienating and divisive.”

“I was watching with Jared, Stephen Miller, and Mitch McConnell, and when Biden started in on the empathy stuff, we all felt very alone,” he said. “He said that he wants to be a President for all Americans, but I guess that doesn’t include sociopaths.”

Calling Biden “a puppet of compassionate extremists,” he demanded that the former Vice-President apologize to every sociopath in the country.

“Sociopaths have feelings, just not for other people,” he said.

^ Lame punchline from Stantis but Tp more than made up for it.

Bret Stephens: if this election turns out as horribly as the rest of 2020 has been, I have a whiskey bottle we can share. — “Writer’s Tears.”

Compromise. Empathy AND Fig Newtons.

It’s been two weeks. I thought we’d get a Kamala zinger.

Or is Stantis really starting to fall in line with Biden?

Is there hope for us after all?

I’m LOADED with empathy, jerkface!

I love fig newtons! I’m glad that hasn’t been one of the shortages at my local grocery store.

I don’t know what you mean but I feel what you mean. Know what I mean? Mmmm Fig Newtons.
