Right as the South Carolina Senator announced his departure from the Republican Presidential race, Sen. Tim Scott hard-launched his girlfriend. The months leading up to the girlfriend reveal were pretty funny seeing as many were beginning to suspect she wasnโ€™t real.

This may go down as the most bizarre political moment from 2023. The far-right Colorado congresswoman was ejected from the โ€œBeetlejuiceโ€ musical in Denver for allegedly vaping and getting busy with her date at the movie theater.

Earlier this year, the New York Times reported that someone directed staffers to craft a doctored photo of a fallen New York City police officer to appear as if it had been in Mayor Eric Adamsโ€™ wallet. He denied it, but it was honestly too out-there of an accusation to not launch quite a few jokes.

Although, this wasnโ€™t really funny since the entire operation of Congress hung in the balance, the debacle had its hilarious moments. Republicanโ€™s inability to agree on anything or anyone was on full-display and the memes about it were perfection. The sharp contrast to Democratsโ€™ easy time selecting Rep. Hakeem Jeffries as their leader was also very noticeable.

Kamala Harris has continued to become fodder for a hilarious stream of memes. Her upbeat enthusiasm has sparked untold numbers of clips on TikTok. And yes, her famous non-silk press still takes center stage.
