Risible? I’m more like cheap patio furniture; I’m collapsible.

The entire term of the president of the United States is a risible debacle, descending to the point that dozens
of foreign countries’ leaders are calling for his impeachment on the grounds that he is quite literally insane.

So, if it’s not funny, could I say it is “inrisible”?

Sounds vaguely like one of those Asian jokes.

I have a new great-nephew, his mother is Chinese and his father is a very tall strawberry blonde. I can’t wait to meet him. He should be a cutie.
