Bonus Cartoon: Kamala Is Bigly Mad About Trump's Big Mac Smack

I am loath to explain my jokes but some of my readers don't always get them right away. Damn it, they're funny!

“This is a Wendy’s" started in 2008. Like Fonzie jumping the shark, its genesis comes from a TV comedy series. Specifically, "The Office." It now means that when someone goes on a stupid rant or doesn’t understand the context and is just an idiot or is shouting at clouds, the reply is, “I’m sorry, this is a Wendy’s." It is a “shut up, you're drunk” reply.

Bonus Pro Tip to Kamala - day drinking is a bad strategy.

When Trump showed up for the Al Smith Dinner, he killed it because his delivery was top-notch and the jokes were funny. Kammy didn’t show. At least not in person. She decided to tape an appearance. She was too busy, apparently, and the taped bit was awful -- as in stupid, dated, and unfunny. Mary Katherine Gallagher wasn’t particularly humorous 30 years ago, but now it’s just painful to watch. This was Kamala’s failed effort at comedy.

So, Kamala bombed, and Trump killed it. What was the response of the Harris campaign? They complained about it.

This reads like a high school girl with unequited attention for the quarterback who posts a "I never liked him, and he's super ugly and he 'footballs' badly!" tiktok rant.

It made the campaign and Harris look petty and showed that Kamala and her team are humorless scolds. No doubt Kamala was blaming her staff for her poor choices. It is never her fault when she tanks.

Then came Trump’s coup de grâce. Trump has been trolling Harris for obvious BS about working at McDonald's. She, according to Harris, was a “fry cook." Trump has been asking her to prove it. She can’t, because she likely never worked at Mickey D's. Weeks passed, and Trump, ever the performer, decided to troll Harris hard. He worked a McDonald’s for 15 minutes. It was a brilliant move, and it caused the left to rage for hours. Then days.

Harris was mad. Bigly. Huuugely. Her media hacks were doxing the McDonald's and reminding everyone that Trump was doing a campaign stop. It was a stunt. He really wasn't working at McDonald's. Oh, no kidding, kids. Her campaign was upset that Trump produced golden fries and golden lines. When told it was Harris’ birthday, he promised to send her flowers. Maybe a funeral wreath.

In any event, Harris’ response to Trump taking all the oxygen from the race is driving her bats. Cackles is big mad. She’s not just cackling, though – she's livid. She's letting loose with TRUMP IS A FASCIST!" attacks. It isn't working.
