The Eagle is the MOST American of birds, Mr. President!!

Here is one with abs:

Here is one with vacant, Mike Pence eyes.

Here is one that has Gregg Allman hair and eagle eye-nipples.

You have to take a step back and really admire.

It takes skill to fuck up something so utterly rote and pro forma as a celebratory photo op. It’s literally impossible to do this wrong. There are no bad actors, no ā€œboth sidesā€ you have to please, no potential to accidentally stick your dick in a fire ant nest.

The most ardent Trump hater and Eagles lover would take no offense if his team went and gave Trump the jersey and took the picture. That’s just what the team does, it’s part of our social fabric.

The most ardent Trump lover and Eagles hater [ed: It’s just, I’ve had a rough night, and I hate the fucking Eagles, man!] would take no offense if his Dear Leader shook hands with the hated enemy. That’s just what the President does, he congratulates the winner.

Five years ago I would have said: it’s literally impossible to fuck this up!

Here we are.

ā€œIn a statement released Monday afternoon, Trump said he was disinviting the Eaglesā€¦ā€

Deliberately pissing off Pennsylvania electors.

Pure political genius!

Now the White House is describing the Eagles as having ā€œabandoned their fans.ā€ He Just. Can’t. Stop. He can’t do himself any good if that would require discipline or restraint. There’s a lot of people in this country who don’t know the name of Khizr Khan. But most people have heard of the Eagles. They won the Super Bowl and all. You could draw a ring 75 miles wide around Philly and about two-thirds of the people who live there have Eagles-related clothing, car decorations, etc. etc. It’s NUTS to be bickering with them like this.

Can’t wait for that massive protest in Philly against the Eagles for not feeding Donnie’s ego. It will occur right after all of those truckers finally get to DC to protest against Obama.

  • in contention for big-ass lie of the day:

Fox News bolstered Trump’s line, using pictures of Eagles kneeling in prayer to falsely suggest that Eagles players had knelt in protest of police brutality.
ā€œThe President announcing the Philadelphia Eagles will not be visiting the White House tomorrow to celebrate their Super Bowl victory due to the national anthem controversy,ā€ anchor Shannon Bream said Monday night.
The network later called the use of the pictures an error, and apologized.

sure… it was a ā€œmistakeā€ … ā€œoh oopsy … we accidentally took images out of context and totally distorted the truth to support a lieā€

It’s twue, it’s twue!

Philly fans don’t care that their team won the Super Bowl or whatever, they care that they can’t buy a framed photograph of (the team) with THE MOST IMPORTANT SUBJECT OF THE PHOTO, GOD-KING DONALD J. TRUMP 45! Or possibly a commemorative plate!

How dare the team deny fans this opportunity to celebrate things that Donald Trump has been photographed with!

The pathology is fascinating.

I give Trump about another five Tweets before he attributes the Eagles’ Super Bowl victory to 5 million illegal immigrants being bussed onto the playing field.

I think you could save some bytes by eliding the word ā€œdishonestlyā€ as being redundant. ā€œTrump saidā€¦ā€ and Trump dishonestly said…" are identical statements.
