This little presser has to be the most infuriating one I’ve ever seen. The asshole just won’t let Biden go. He’s trying to get them to laugh along with him 😬

Steele hasn’t trusted contractors ever since Grover destroyed his house:

He’s gonna tear the whole White House down.

That would be a fitting legacy I suppose. He’s destroyed everything else. It’s gonna be a mess. Well, it already is.

Hopefully he will be gone after the mid terms. Lot’s of hope though.

I guess he wouldn’t really need it anymore if he’s going to live in the Golden Throne room with the rooftop drone port.

We should have a new warning acronym for videos that leap directly to that face with that voice coming out of it, similar in purpose to NSFW. Maybe Giant Asshole Alert, i.e. GAA!

I believe that’s called a “jump scare”.

Whoever comes next probably _should_ tear the whole thing down and rebuild, just to get rid of his stink (both literal and proverbial). With the company he keeps, the place is probably buggier than a forest log at this point…

Your probably right. Just like the Quatar jet.

Odd - these columns won’t be gold?

Kinda runs counter to his eventual plans to replace the White House with the Gold House.

I assume Trump can only cope with one idea at a time 🙁:

- White House Ballroom
- Kennedy Centre rename
- UFC stage
- Lincoln Memorial Pool
- Triumphal Arch

I await news of renaming:

- the Lincoln Memorial becomes the Trump Lincoln Memorial
- Mount Rushmore becomes Mount Trump
- The United States of America becomes the United States of Trump’s America
