As the great author Walter Scott once wrote, ā€œOh, what a tangled web we weave, when we are a clueless motherfucking assholeā€. Or words to that effect.

That’s what I thought too. All they could if they want would be to issue a statement to express their displeasure. Mick said in the linked article they couldn’t stop him.

I know that’s what he said. I believed him.

Inversion came up with evidence for why it isn’t true, but I’m not vouching for this - I’m completely neutral.

What’s quite worrying to me is that Rachel Maddow said the top two officials in DHS told the staff to quash the report, which is why it was leaked. I thought John Kelly was supposed to be one of the good guys Trump appointed.

Can’t take credit for it, although I wish I could. It was Melissa McCarthy as Sean Spicer on SNL, who should be given a Nobel Prize for comedy this year, along with Alec Baldwin

What’s the said evidence, @inversion? I’m curious.

I don’t remember all of it and now wish I hadn’t said anything.

He pointed out who owns the copyrights to the songs, I didn’t look anything up, he did, and what authority that gives them and then pointed out that Steve Tyler, who is a Repug, sued to get Trump to stop using some of his music and someone else, as well and I can’t remember now who it was.

Thanks so much for posting this today. I’ve seen it before, multiple times, but for some reason this morning it’s making me laugh so hard I’ve got tears in my eyes.

It’s so. freakin’. brilliant.

I know. And Kate McKinnon as clueless Betsy ā€œGrizzly Bearā€ DeVos was icing on one hilarious cake.
And I still say that Leslie Jones should play Steve Bannon. It would drive that racist SOB out of his motherfucking mind.

Good thing you said it, because thanks to that we can now bug @inversion :smile:

Christ, you know how horrendous this administration must be from the inside, because I’ve seen less leaks in a June Allison Depends commercial.

I’m pretty sold on the latter. However, I think he’s surrounded by people who embody the former. So, in many ways it’s both because Dolt 45 is a psychopathic narcissist who, both fortunately and unfortunately, is a moron with a severe case of Dunning-Kruger. At the same time, you’ve got fairly smart authoritarians around him who, both fortunately and unfortunately, are so ignorant to how government works that they’re often hoisted on their own petard.
