I am willing to bet that Stephanie Grisham pours Bailey’s on her morning cereal, brandy on her coffee…

Ok, WH spox says Trump is just counterpunching against a dead man. Sure, whatever, go with it.

I wouldn’t consider punching a deceased public servant as “tough.”

More like a bullying weasel.

Impeached President says what?

Tough counter puncher - whiney crybaby. Not much of the former, way too much of the latter.

“Don’t shoot the messenger” is sometimes an ill-applied counsel…

“A tough counter puncher”. Yeah, tough and smart! Really smart! Smart enough to wait until his opponent is safely dead and in the ground before hitting back!

I would also suggest cases of Ketel One are delivered each month to her home.

Well, he still gives Dead John McCain a kick or two every now and then.

He complains a lot about the heat for a guy that never goes in the kitchen.
But, anyway it’s good to know this is just normal behavior to expect now that he has been impeached.

It was more like against a grieving widow…

He prefers widows with husbands who aren’t dead.

Plus she voted to impeach him.

“The President…look, he’s a counter-puncher,”

Against the widow of a dead man (yes, I understand the redundancy)???

Truly desperate measure there, folks.

The funny thing is, I bet 90–plus-years-old Dingell – up until the time he became too ill/weak to do so – could have pounded the shit out of the Crybaby-in-Chief.

I didn’t think we’d see a WH spox more vile than Jethrene, but Grisham has surpassed her.

(Picture, if you will Dear Reader, a 55 year old, 5ft 3 in, 110 pd woman sitting at her computer)

BAM BAM - Take that! Philip of Macedonia! I’m punching you and your slaughtering son - Now I’m the ruler of all Greece! hah hah!
And howzabout you, Cyrus the Great - you and your dumb old beard - SMACK - take that - Now I’m the winner!

Hey - punching dead people is easy! Thanks Mr. President. I’m a hero. I feel good about me.

I’m starting to suspect that someone close to Trump (or maybe even Trump himself) is keeping both Stephanie and Hogan amply supplied with some mighty fine and kick-ass drugs. Why else would they choose to debase themselves so gleefully?
