White House Deputy Press Secretary Hogan Gidley defended President Trump after he drew backlash from both Republicans and Democrats for comparing the House’s impeachment inquiry to a “lynching” in a Tuesday morning tweet.
Good. God. Almighty! The incompetence is stunning! The avoidance of responsibility is stunning! Oh, the victimhood!
Hogan Gidley then insisted that his name was not Hogan Gidley, that language is an illusion, and that truth is whatever you damn well want it to be.
“You keep using that word. I do not think it means what you think it means.”
-Inigo Montoya
Gidley added that Trump “has used many words to describe the way he has been treated” by the media, according to the pool report.
And most of them have been wrong
When does the “Trump was joking” defense get trotted out?
Oh he’s just being Donald!
“Whatever I tweeted didn’t mean what you said it meant. White is black. Up is down. Good is bad. All the best words. All the best people. Everybody stop picking on me. I have such delicate sensibilities.” Signed, President for Life Trump.
There is no Hogan Gidley. “Hogan Gidley” is a construct, a hologram (actually a half-o-gram). “He,” or it, does not exist.
Next up: “This impeachment is genocide.”
Oh. Not really genocide just sorta genocide.
I mean, “Hogan Gidley” is clearly a made up name. No real person could exist with that name.
VACUOUS VICTIMHOOD is beyond SNL parody and turning dark and violent!
Dear GOP,
We know you’re sick of having to mop up after Trump. He exhausts you.
We know you’re hoping it’ll be worth it.
But deep inside, you know it won’t.
You meant “all,” didn’t you? Or “lies?”
"Who are you going to believe? Me? Or the me from 10 minutes ago? That guy is a crazy liar, you can trust me…
Of course, he didn’t. And he wasn’t shaking down Mr. Zelesky. And he believed Mr. Obama was born in America. And Mr. Cohen paid of those women on his own and he had nothing to do with it. And he didn’t know those Ukrainians who appear in so many pictures with him or his family. And emoluments are, of course, phoney. And he’s lost $2B to $5B as President. And his kids, all of them, and Mr. Kushner have not benefited by their proximity to the Office of the President. I just can’t conceive how anyone can eat this shite?
I think what Gidley meant to say was that Trump’s “lynching” comment sounded different in the original German…
We have now reached the point where they are literally saying “what we said earlier today is not actually what we said”…it’s happened multiple times now, and the right wing press is letting them get away with it. That is truly terrifying, we are reaching the point where truth won’t matter, at all, to a segment of the population…there’s a nebulous attachment to truth there now, but more of this kind of comment and it will disappear. Having a large fraction believe only what Trump and his minions say, regardless of how inconsistent, or if they change to the opposite moments later, will make it nearly impossible to put the nation back together.
These are the people who came up with the phrase “alternative facts”. What the actual fuck?!?
PoMo Party in the Roosevelt Room right now!
Be there or fly an elephant.
