3. Only Trump said "Tuesday"

...and I'm pretty sure it was just another grift to squeeze more money from the rubes. How can you drop an indictment on Tuesday if you are still interviewing people on Monday?

Hilarious that the "protestors" that showed up to Trump Tower were those clamoring for his arrest.

I'm convinced indictments will happen, just not on a schedule I would prefer, which is NOW.

[Walleye]

9. Oh but he didn't say which Tuesday

Maybe next Tuesday will be our good news day

[bigtree]

4. back when it was literally about having no bananas

...with a Greek grocer's idiom preceding?

As the song goes...

We've string beans, and onions
Cabbageses, and scallions,
And all sorts of fruit and say
We have an old fashioned to-mah-to
A Long Island po-tah-to
But yes, we have no bananas.

We've grand jurors, and prosecutors
Witnesses, and criminals
And all sorts of perps and say
We have an old fashioned Trump pat-sy
A Long Island but-ton man
But, yes, we have no indictments.

[Atticus]

5. Well done! 👏 nt

[ProudMNDemocrat]

6. Ate a Banana today!!

[Ocelot II]

7. TFG pulled Tuesday out of his big orange ass, not knowing or caring

that the GJ doesn't meet on Tuesdays.

[onenote]

12. And dozens of DUers accepted it as gospel.

Go figure.

[Hekate]

15. The latest version of the empty podium on the tv

[inthewind21]

18. Yes

[Sneederbunk]

8. Ms. Harris, this is a good time to make your move.

TFG could stop in Georgia for arraigment on the way to his New York arraignment.

[gratuitous]

13. Sounds like Trump was wrong, doesn't it?

Cried wolf again, and again there was no wolf. Will the popular media stop listening to this know-nothing knucklehead? Magic 8 Ball says, "Moonves Needs Mo' Money"

[inthewind21]

17. The popular

media reported he said it. It was the public who gobbled it up.

[ananda]

14. Fossil here.

LOL

[Hekate]

16. Definitely a fossil. All the extreme oldies turned up in Looney Tunes sooner or later....

Also, I’ve somehow always associated it with the Marx Bros.
