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. Itā€™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. Thatā€™s just what the team does, itā€™s part of our social fabric.

The most ardent Trump lover and Eagles hater [ed: Itā€™s just, Iā€™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. Thatā€™s just what the President does, he congratulates the winner.

Five years ago I would have said: itā€™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. Canā€™t. Stop. He canā€™t do himself any good if that would require discipline or restraint. Thereā€™s a lot of people in this country who donā€™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. Itā€™s NUTS to be bickering with them like this.

Canā€™t wait for that massive protest in Philly against the Eagles for not feeding Donnieā€™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 Trumpā€™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.

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

Itā€™s twue, itā€™s twue!

Philly fans donā€™t care that their team won the Super Bowl or whatever, they care that they canā€™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 Eaglesā€™ 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 saidā€¦" are identical statements.

Man, they really hate those totally un-American cop-killing Eagles in Philadelphia, donā€™t they? LOL!
