With the news that the Paris zoo has shut down because more than fifty baboons escaped from their enclosure, at least the French now have a better feeling of what it feels like to be an American.

Does 50 loose baboons even begin to equal one Trump? Inquiring minds want to know.
Or somewhat similar to Chimpy during his reign of error?
If a baboon deposed Macron they would truly understand our plight.
How dare you insult baboons by comparing them to our political class?
Also, I teach middle school, so I would happily trade places with the zookeepers in Paris. If they think 50 baboons on the loose is a challenge, they should try 1100 teenagers at 3:00 on a Friday, after a pep rally. A 100 percent conversion of sugar and hormones into pure kinetic energy…
Cheers to everyone. Have a great weekend!
Proving that baboons are smarter than our Congress which can’t escape its enclosure. More highly evolved?
Charlton Heston shouted at one of the orange colored baboons, “Get your dirty hands off of the presidency you damn stinking ape.” or words to that effect.
Maybe they heard their orange leader was nearby in Switzerland and decided to visit.
Just sayin’…
Like I said…just sayin’…
Wait ’til the foie gras riots start!!!
