#KloboCop. She needs to resign, go back home, and stay out of public life forever. Not qualified to be in local animal control or garbage collection.

Matt Taibbi's avatar

Ha I like that one!

Craig's avatar

This Halloween I'm going as a Klobuchar staff member with a stapler imbedded in my head.

Susan Webber's avatar

You go, Matt! I'm grateful to still have a few people willing to stand and fight the good fight.

Lisa's avatar

Or eating her salad with a red pencil.

Arianna's avatar

I think it was a comb 🤮

Maxwell Brusky's avatar

It’s solid and should trend - saw it on Twitter whenever she “ran for President.” Struck a chord immediately. Commenter below nailed it: “the future of gag enforcement”. Have to laugh to keep from crying! Forward Project Amy!

HiggsBosonSlut's avatar

My question is: who is funding her? Clearly she's not that bright on her own.

PrinceOfTheRavens's avatar

That's cheat-n Max.

But you earned Matt's notice so that's funny enough to agree.

Maxwell Brusky's avatar

No cheatn to pass on great ideas! Definitely had to clarify that it was NOT mine lol 😬😎

Paul Harper's avatar

Humor, not anger, is the most potent weapon. I suggest you listen to your dog.

Caroline C McCabe's avatar

But Anger (like all are emotions) shud be honored and acknowledged. It all depends on how we “manage” our emotions! Anger doesn’t mean irrationality or extremism. We need to be angry! A la batalla!!

Paul Harper's avatar

Thanks for the comment. However, I completely disagree. Anger never increases the efficacy of my own actions. Worse, anger severely diminishes my ability to reason and think clearly. To each their own.

Darren G Whitney's avatar

One of the shining pillars of human creation is the snappy comeback. It proves that anger doesn't exist in a vacuum, even in that "all-consuming" darkness we're all subject to. Your knowledge and intelligence and abilities are all around it. You harness, refine and then act - history is filled with people doing that in a split-second. Anger is the first draft.

Jennifer Smee's avatar

Anger is a useful informant

But yes, acting from anger can have consequences

Useful to listen to, perhaps less so to make as the guiding principle

Susan Abbott's avatar

Well-founded anger expressed with humour is Matt's genius.

"Once in dutch with Amy,

Tear up your luck,

It's Amy."

Ever wonder what these people's personal lives are like?

Bernadene Zennie's avatar

Sorry, I amended your cool riff: “ once in Dutch with Amy watch your back it’s Amy”

Sue Flavin's avatar

Get ‘em. Amy still pissed she didn’t make president. So, trying to knock everyone who didn’t vote for her into hell.

MH's avatar

From the HRC playbook of sore loser

AMAZING LAST NAME GO FLAVINS

rtj's avatar

You just reminded me of her seething rage against Pete Buttigieg in '20

Patrick's avatar

Yeah well he sucked too 🤣. Figuratively, of course.

HiggsBosonSlut's avatar

Snort! I spit onto my screen.

Elle Stratt's avatar

A spoof on J-Lo with K-Lo 🤣

Michael J. Cunningham's avatar

The future of gag law enforcement

Mike Stevens's avatar

Great one Michael, and do not forget the response to consuming something unpalatable; we call it the "gag reflex"

Charles K's avatar

Sadly she will run for reelection in 24 and will win as the Minnesota Republican Party is a shit show. They will run whatever knuckle dragging social conservative of the moment is.

Jim M's avatar

IDK buddy... as leftie as I am, I'm liking what I'm seeing about the new R Speaker...

Caroline C McCabe's avatar

Holy Cow. Bet u’ve changed your tune by now! He’s bloody SCARY.

Jim M's avatar

Not at all; if anything, I'm more impressed.

I'll bet you haven't seen any interviews of him or commentary about him outside of MSM.

Bull Hubbard's avatar

Any "conservative," political or social or both, who votes for Klobuchar is an idiot at best, a lover of censorship at worst.

If she's re-elected Minnesota deserves everything that happens to it as a result, and its citizens who vote for her or abstain from voting against her are entirely responsible along with her for the local, national, and international consequences,

Nowhere Man's avatar

Time for the Michele Bachmann reboot?

Bernie Henry's avatar

KloboCop t-shirts...wonder if Amazon would sell them?

Uncle Salty's avatar

Fucking genius. I can visualize that already.

Rfhirsch's avatar

But perhaps qualified in garbage creation?

Marcia Yoder's avatar

We are right there with you!

"Your move, Speech!"

"What's bugging you, Amy?" / "Free Speech. Free Speech bugs me."

Sorry, I'm a huge Robocop franchise fan. Great suggestion!

Alan Wolfson's avatar

T-Shirt Suggestion - "Black Lists Matter" with a picture of a (typically) Angry Amy??

Keith's avatar

Why didn't I think of this?!

Caroline C McCabe's avatar

She favors herself as being humorous!!

dw's avatar

What a "visual"....

Liz Burton's avatar

Or the angry pencil graphic I downloaded years ago from somewhere.

Ray Downs's avatar

really funny, but nerds will find it offensive

Bro's and Hoes for Klo!

Attack of the 50 foot Klobocop! "I am the Amazon!"

Bull Hubbard's avatar

Sanders is a feckless mercenary who sold his soul to the party. Enlisting his image or mealymouthed public statements as a propaganda weapon is like using Hubert Humphrey, or worse.

DarkSkyBest's avatar

There is reporting recently that Sanders has a Foundation (of course) that is paying his step-son like $70,000 this last quarter. Same reporting said the Foundation, founded to protect "democracy (of course)," paid $200,000 to it last year. Run by his wife and step-son. Maybe out of campaign funds. Mission statement written by a Socialist.

Please abandon Bernie worship. If you want to look at someone to admire after they lose a big election, look to Plains, Georgia. He is the epitome of what someone with values and beliefs does with their time. I don't hold all the same beliefs, and I strongly disagree with alot of his latest pronouncements, but his is the GOAT of post-Presidencies. Tell me I'm wrong.

The night of the Iowa primary I was watching some live broadcast from somewhere (I think on C-Span) and it looked like Bernie votes at that particular caucus site turned into a Hilary win. Looked fishy, but maybe that is how the caucus system works.

Anyway, it appears that the way you "progress" in the Dem Party these days is to swallow all of your principles (IF you ever had any) and make money. Bernie is wealthy and guaranteed to die in office, which office his family will inherit, of course. Will it be Sen. Wife or Sen. Step-son? Primary Kamala got no votes, called Joe a racist, and she is a heartbeat away from being the Pres of the US of A. Doesn't anybody see anything wrong with this picture?

Bernadene Zennie's avatar

Uh mysogynist much? I hate her too but get your hate in the right place.

Bull Hubbard's avatar

Thanks, Commissar, for setting us straight.

probably right...

Tom Cashman's avatar

Matt... Can we please include Elizabeth Warren on that list of people to remove? in addition to being the biggest pontificating hypocrite west of the Mississippi, she tried (in vain) to get RFK Jr's seminal work " The Real Anthony Fauci" removed from Amazon and other outlets. She is a disgrace.

L. D. Pratt's avatar

I'm not for 'removing", except by elections. But, yes, Warren is a devastating hypocrite. This period is certainly revealing our 'leaders' true colors!

David S's avatar

Really!! Holy shit. How can it be that the once mighty have fallen so far. She's done in my book.

rtj's avatar

She's my senator. And still doesn't have a Republican challenger yet, but they're trying.

rtj's avatar

Oh, i meant that Warren is my Senator, not Klobuchar.

BigMamaTEA's avatar

Warren is up for re-elect in '24 too. Still...get BUSY!! LOL!

rtj's avatar

I'm an Independent who hates both parties. I vote third party top of the ticket, and will most likely sit out the downballot next year.

Patrick's avatar

You can’t hate them equally. Vote against whichever is worst.

Spiderbaby's avatar

Here's another fun episode of "Who's Your Party?!"

Patrick's avatar

east of the Mississippi as well, with deference to Schiff.

David Keene's avatar

I thought East as well, but I guess if you’re a full blooded Cherokee, Oklahoma is home.

trembo slice's avatar

Why do you hate Native Americans. She’s our nations first trans-racial rep! She sucks, but she does occasionally go in against The Fed and I appreciate that.

David Murphy's avatar

there are so many...too many to count

CJ Hopkins's avatar

"Amy 'Thought Police' Klobuchar" has a ring to it. P.S., I love you when you're angry.

Ann Batiza's avatar

Good luck to you, too, CJ! Onward!

Caroline C McCabe's avatar

y r u wishing CJ luck, (or is it for defending himself against the German authorities)?

Ann Batiza's avatar

He was convicted I believe and I'm not sure what happened with sentencing or a fine. I thought he received a sentence. This is all about censorship. Unbelievable.

Lee Rice's avatar

Yeah, but then I always think of Johnny Fever and the Dream Police and chuckle.

MissAnneThrope's avatar

I'm in. Sic 'em. I'm so filled with rage about so much, but IMHO, THIS - the CIC - is the single greatest threat to the future (all sympathies to those humans brutally impacted by our Forever Wars.) Without clear voices of dissent, how do any of them cease? Thanks, Matt. You're not crazy. You're sane in an insane world. It's like being in the Twilight Zone. Hang in. We got you.

Stephen Erickson's avatar

Klobuchar sounds like it could be a verb.

Klobuchar (v) - to harass, threaten or clobber a powerful media entity into censoring speech that Amy Klobuchar does not like.

Usage:

"Oxford, Harvard and Stanford doctors had their posts censored yet again as a result of social media companies being Klobuchared by government entities."

"The write on substack was Klobuchared into silence when her revenue stream dried up."

Shelley's avatar

How many people do you know that have been Klobuchared by Amy the Censorious?

Gathering Goateggs's avatar

Have you been Klobuchared? You may be entitled to compensation.

JS Hall's avatar

Let’s Munson Klobuchar.

Ulrika O'Brien's avatar

At which point censorship becomes "Klobuchar Kultcher"?

Cycads's avatar

I only trust news from Klobuchared sources.

Real journalists get Klobuchared.

Proud to have been Klobuchared.

Eirebridge's avatar

Perhaps the new 'bowdlerize' for the digital era?

TeeJae's avatar

When you say it out loud, it sounds a lot like "clobbered," which basically has the same meaning.

SimulationCommander's avatar

I would have voted for the "so-called journalist" chick, but Amy is a good choice as well.

Censorship is THE issue -- once the censors are in place, the rest of the road to tyranny is easy.

rtj's avatar

That's who I first thought of. But as she doesn't even get a vote in Congress, she's more or less irrelevant. Most Americans probably don't even know who she is.

Rick Olivier's avatar

Der Sergeant VassahllmahnSchulz! "I know NOH-THINK!"

Chilblain Edward Olmos's avatar

TBF most Americans don’t know who Amy Klobuchar is either.

Bull Hubbard's avatar

True, but most Americans don't vote, either.

Chilblain Edward Olmos's avatar

I don’t know if that’s good or bad🤷‍♂️

rtj's avatar

btw, i think of the "so-called journalist" chick as the Epstein lady now.

Lekimball's avatar

You are NOT losing your mind, Matt. I'm so glad there are critical thinkers like you standing up to people like her. Your anger is justified, and it sounds like you will translate that into some action. Good for you.

Jon-Mikel Bailey's avatar

Karen Klobuchar!!! Alliteration for the win!!!

Walter McBoingBoing's avatar

“Karen” is way too shopworn at this point .

My Favorite Color Is Freedom's avatar

Yes! I personally feel very sorry for all the cool Karen’s out there.

deathcap's avatar

back in my school days I had a friend that was a Karen. She was really cool...and I've never been able to associate "Karen" with the negative stereotype the name conjures for everyone else for that reason.

Now if there's a name I'd use it would be Brenda for entirely personal reasons. Never met one that I was particularly fond of. Keep your opinions to yourself, Brenda!!!

rtj's avatar

I hope not. Because it's kind of, like, my name too. :(

John Cougar Misanthrope's avatar

"For readers who might be concerned I’m losing my mind, you’re not wrong. What can I say? Even my dog flashes worried looks at me these days."

We're all walking a proverbial tightrope these days. A number has been pulled on humanity. The disturbing thing is that a substantial portion of the population is either blissfully unaware or, perhaps more troubling, fine with it. Closer inspection reveals who the truly crazy ones are.

DarkSkyBest's avatar

"Crazy" is too easy. Narcissism + social media + really hateful politics. Brought to you by the American education system. The portal to the abyss is before us. Sincerely. When equating butchery with self-defense, "genocide" with Israel, "proportionality" with rape and murder. As you say, look at the thousands who are fine with it.

Bull Hubbard's avatar

Anyone with a functioning moral compass who's paying attention is either enraged and activated or has given up in despair. We really need more of the former.

deathcap's avatar

"If we weren't all crazy, we'd just go insane". Whether or not you dug Jimmy Buffett's music, I still think that's a great quote.

Rob Mackle's avatar

Just upgraded to paid.....want to support you and your reporting real news. Keep up the fight!

I'm partial to "Blacklist Amy".

an excellent idea for a meme! The sword dripping ink perhaps.....

Kommissar Klobuchar?

Bull Hubbard's avatar

This is the winner! I hope someone addresses her this way at a press conference.

Mike's avatar

Don’t turn around!

Josh Liveright's avatar

I’ve reached out repeatedly about you doing a town hall at my venue in northern Manhattan. We’d love to have you!!!

Patrick's avatar

Anywhere in NY is a lost cause, but there's a lot to be said for trying to win on the road.

Jala's avatar

How about Matt & Walter “ on the road again....” coast to coast & north to south?

Jerry Nadler has no idea what you’re talking about, but he is curious if you know where the closest Shoney’s is located?

Patrick's avatar

My 90 year old aunt looks better in pants than he does. And has more common sense

jack saunders's avatar

Good choice. She has always come off like a pissed off middle school principal. That’s why her I’ll-fated presidential attempt crashed upon lift-off.

trembo slice's avatar

First woman President should be Dolly Parton. She’s TN royalty and a national treasure.

longwind's avatar

Your tantrum is righteous and right on time, but timing shouldn't cut Schiff a millimeter of slack. He's better known and more odious. The Senate will thank you.l

Fledglingphnx's avatar

In the robo-cop theme: "I'd sell out for a dollar!"

Patrick's avatar

And needs a corresponding male moniker for Karen.

PrinceOfTheRavens's avatar

pencil neck is too obvious.

maybe his name is enough to become the new moniker...
