Why is it so hard to be adult? With things like this, we should act as if nothing happened. We all know that.

No one in Congress farts harder than Eric Swalwell

Aggie said...

The freedom to vote? Where in the US is that under threat, one wonders?

gilbar said...

heh heh! he said Fart! what a doofus!

gilbar said...

this year, it was Almost impossible for fictitious persons to vote in MANY States.
we NEED to Make Sure, that Every vote counts.. ESPECIALLY the fake ones, the Democrat Party FAILS!

Justabill said...

Is it not adult to laugh at such things? I’m getting younger every day.

You mean like the Democrats do when Trump's speaking? Count your blessings- at least the Republicans aren't trying to imprison or kill Jeffries.

Skeptical Voter said...

Ah good old Hakeem. This doofus was nearly Speaker of the House today . But he can go out and have a bowl of chili--heavy on the beans--with Eric Swalwell. And I mentally ten years old and amused by fart jokes? I plead guilty--at least where fellows such as Swalwell and Jeffries are concerned. I'll even make a Depends joke about Joe--but he's moving out of range these days. .

David53 said...

I hope he runs for President sometime soon.

Justabill said...

Honestly, when I was younger, I was appalled when my father would laugh uproariously at such simple things. Now I am older and I get the joke.

Jupiter said...

Act as if nothing happened, except, use it to pad your blog-count!

My late wife insisted that God has a sense of humor, but it's the sense of humor of a 15 year old boy.

"We shall fart in France, we shall fart on the seas and oceans, we shall fart with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our island, whatever the cost may be. We shall fart on the beaches, we shall fart on the landing grounds, we shall fart in the fields and in the streets, we shall fart in the hills; we shall never surrender."
What Winston Churchill really said.

Krumhorn said...

I just returned this week from Austria and Germany where every exit on the road is labeled Ausfahrt. Since I'm really 14 at heart, I laughed myself silly and made rude juicy bathroom noises at every sign. I should mention that my wife wasn't nearly as amused.

rehajm said...

haha!

rehajm said...

I just played it for my wife without prompt and she laughed. Apparently she’s a girl…

William50 said...

Pull my finger

Wince said...

Don't laugh. I came up through the school of hard farts.

walter said...

Don't be an old fart!

“You (pl) drive” in German is “Ihr Fahrt”, which is pronounced “Ear fart”.

There was a polka band leader named Whoopee John Wilfahrt, who toured the Upper Midwest with his Six Fat Dutchmen. His publicity stated that "Whoopee John Wilfahrt and His Band Will Play". His grave can be found in New Ulm, MN.

Narayanan said...

if he fart hard he may want to leave basement and campaign in open air!!

James K said...

Today we think of it as childish, but that sort of humor was common among adults in the Renaissance and Enlightenment periods. Rabelais is famous for it. Mozart's letters have a lot of it. Just to name a couple of examples off the top of my head.

Narayanan said...

Hitler vegetarian was famous farter!! killed himself! so sadz

victoria said...

Really? it was the Republicans who were behaving like toddlers, not the Dems. Getting threatened by their fellow Republicans if they didn't vote the way that their dear leader, DJT wanted them to. Nothing good will be achieved by this congress unless they are ALL willing to work toegther, not like the Comer's and the Gym Jordan's who want to fight fight fight against the will of their constituents.

victoria said...

He would be a 1000 times better than the "man'" due to be inaugurated.

Peachy said...

So sad blacks can't vote. They also don't have IDs.

Peachy said...

our side argues and have different opinions. Democrats are hivemind loyalists and don't give a damn about the American people.

victoria said...

no, Peachy,. Your side whines and complains and tries to bully people into voting for their causes. Dems are the thoughtful and decisive ones. Good try.

victoria said...

Serously? You actually believe that?

Peachy said...

It's hot garbage for their stupids who need to be groomed as victims. Lies work well to accomplish.

Vicki - Do give some actual honest examples.

Dixcus said...

Heh, heh, heh, heh ... she said "hard."

Get it, Beavis?

Dollar Store Obama at his finest.

Original Mike said...

OK, that's funny.

Justabill said...

My father said that, during WW2’ an officer he served under with a bad command of the German language shouted the equivalent of “halt, or I’ll shit,” and everyone, American and German, started laughing.

Ann Althouse said...

Of course I laughed too when I heard the clip. I’m not saying people don’t laugh at things like this. I’m saying the decision to share it,to put it on your social media account, to purvey it.. that’s something you think about before doing and I think you shouldn’t do. I’m aware of that. I can be accused of doing it here and I cop to that.

It's going to be a long four years for you. Here's a tissue.

BUMBLE BEE said...

Somebody(D) says "fart" and Victoria comes running. Summoned?

Jim at said...

Snort. Sad part is? You actually believe that shit.

Can I have a toke?

Yes, but what really releases your inner ten year old boy is visiting the Kunst Museum.

Aggie said...

I'd be happy to cut slack and respect the honor and the solemn dignity of the Chamber and the Seats of Power - if their actions there would only start to reflect some kind of similar, shared values.

Arashi said...

What in heaven's name is Victoria smoking and why won't she share?

Lem Vibe Bandit said...

I fart softly and carry a big… smile.

Jamie said...

My sister just reminded me about a friend of hers from high school. This friend's mom was a lovely, lovely woman, incredibly innocent for an Air Force wife. At one point, apparently, her husband left their house without the dark blue double-pointed hat (I'm struggling with how to describe it but most have surely seen it - like an opened envelope that you put on your head) that was standard Class B uniform. She caught him in the driveway from their doorway, there on Officers' Row, by loudly calling out, "You forgot your c*** cap!"

She had no idea that c*** was a bad word. I, when I heard this story, had no idea the hat - my dad's hat, for heaven's sake - was colloquially called that. My sister, the bridge between these two types of ignorance, knew everything.

Iman said...

All farting aside, look at Jeffries’ eyes and ask yourself are these the eyes of an honest, well-intentioned straight shooter ?

Joe Bar said...

Farts.....Always funny.

Iman said...

Victoria is awaiting the return of the sausages…

Iman said...


“no, Peachy,. Your side whines and complains and tries to bully people into voting for their causes. Dems are the thoughtful and decisive ones. Good try”

I’ll admit to enhancing that one with a classic “sad trombone” fart. Puurrrfect!

Oh come on Vicky--the Dims vote in lockstep all the time. They are so conditioned after a few years under the Wicked Witch of the West that they vote however the party "dear leader' tells them.

Aggie said...

Leslie Nielson went onto the Tonight Show once, with Johnnie, and brought his professional-grade Whoopie cushion with him and proceeded to tell a very funny story of how he had sneaked it into some kind of Hollywood awards dinner. He told the story while manipulating the thing the whole time, generating a whole spectrum of farts - loud, long, dry, juicy, etc. Everybody was laughing, you can't help yourself.

NorthOfTheOneOhOne said...

...the dark blue double-pointed hat (I'm struggling with how to describe it but most have surely seen it - like an opened envelope that you put on your head)...

For future reference it's officially referred to as a garrison cap by the US military.

Aggie said...

In fact, it was his favorite running joke - on his grave marker is his epitaph, "Let 'er rip", I sh*t you not.

Paul Zrimsek said...

Introduce all the voting-rights bills you want, but you'll have to make a deal with the Republicans if you want to pass one.

Narayanan said...

Is it not part of the Congressional Record? and archived for posterity?

Narayanan said...

Maybe Victoria self propelled reactionally?!

Tacitus said...

He had that sign on his tour bus too.

Fritz said...

C'mon man, who doesn't love a good fart joke?

ron winkleheimer said...

"Serously? You actually believe that?"

Just because there have been two attempts to assassinate him and he is going to be sentenced in a few days for 32 felonies, for listing legal expenses as legal expenses, not to mention the many other instances of lawfare is no reason to believe our lying eyes.

Eric the Fruit Bat said...

In some countries your waiter or waitress will ask if you want your water with gas so it behooves any civil person to exercise self-control to keep it from becoming a runny joke. See what I did there?

Two-eyed Jack said...

You know, people wouldn't have been nearly so impressed if Trump had been shot and had then stood up and shouted "Fart, fart, fart!"

Jamie said...

Thank you! Of course I knew it couldn't actually be called a c*** cap.

Jamie said...

Serously? You actually believe that?

Cue the video of Pelosi ostentatiously tearing up Trump's State of the Union text, while directly behind the then-President, on national television.

Rusty said...

It's a guy thing. Like lighting farts.

Hey Skipper said...

I lived for awhile in Düsseldorf, Germany. Just up the road from Titz.

Is she lactose intollerant? Vicki in a flying squirrel suit doesn't need no mountain.

Krumhorn said...

In the Marine Corps, it’s called a piss cover. I could never quite fathom why, but your story offers a possibility.

When a windbag tells you they will fart hard, believe them.

GFY toots. What a dishonest and disingenuous piece of garbage you are.

That's cute. : )

Mike Petrik said...

Agree, Ann. But Internet forums seem to bring out the inner 5th grader in commenters.

Lazarus said...

You could say that about a lot of politicians. I look at him and wonder who's really running things on his side of Congress. It doesn't seem like he's really in charge or like his caucus would take orders from him.

Iman said...

Yes, you could say that about “a lot of politicians”. But Jeffries is the one featured in this post. Look at any photo of Jeffries and you’ll see the same thing. Fucker has the eyes of a barracuda.
