Don’t forget they’re also doing other revenue cuts, by discounting the value of our public lands and giving them away, and by making sure the OMB is not allowed to report on the true cost of ACA repeal, and probably other ways they make the government less efficient by sheer incompetence.
“Demoralized and dejected Republican” vows to publish all he sees and hears in the White House but practices poor OpSec, Twitter account vanishes involuntarily.
I can’t think of anywhere else to put this, so here it goes. After Midnight, a mostly OK comedy show based on improvised lines, so hip it can barely stand it, but that hardly matters. What it was, a brief tape of KellyAnne Conway’s standup comedy routine. Presumably, some time ago. I swear, I am not making this up!
Better than Gilbert Gottfried, not as funny as Dennis Miller.
For those who can’t look away when passing a grisly car accident.

He raised taxes for us. Important people got tax cuts.
I made it as far as the “Redskins” joke. Pay me.
That’s fairly mid range for a rookie standup. She’s not very funny and they gave her too much stage time, but she gets a few laughs and that’s a few more than some get.
The number of people who are actually funny their first few times doing standup is pretty miniscule.
Too hip for the room.
San Jose councilman sworn in holding a Captain America shield.
Errrr… ahhhh… nope, not seeing the “stupid” here. Maybe if he were known as a spokesman for anti-American ideas (e.g. if he were a bigoted jackass) that would earn him a punch to the jaw from Cap, but there’s no indication of that in the story.
Eccentric, sure, but you’ll need to start your own thread for that.
That had to do something with the old Colbert Report props.
That may be the smartest idea in this thread.
thank you. I never could master that one, and shouldn’t have tried to use it. I just thought it was nicer language than ‘snot’, ‘vomit’, ‘piss’, or whatever.
The only reference I can find to ‘whooshed’ in the urban dictionary that seems to apply would seem to say that I was trying or at least, said something that went over the reader’s head, was intended to be elitist or pedantic…or something… In fact, I wonder if elucidator might have said the same thing to someone else about 4 years ago, and that was the cause of the question to the editor, asking what was meant by “I think you may have been whooshed”. The commentor, back then, said it was very rare usage and suggested the inquirer not use it themselves.
Nothing was further from my intention. Unlike Thrump, I do use words of more than two syllables without hesitation, but I don’t think they are usually unintelligible. This one syllable word was simply misspelled.
I’ll try to hack up a different one next time.
Sorry, I accused you of witticism. I apologize.
apologize? for what? No apology is needed, at all, as long as you agree with my somewhat liberal and intelligent and somewhat elitist point of view.
I live in Baja Canada (Minnesota), around here, people apologize if you step on their foot. Sorry.
Some citizens of U.S.A. banned from returning here if they hold dual citizenship. I was pissed when I heard that legal citizens with green cards would be banned, but this is just fucking screwy.
That refers to dual citizens who have one or more banned citizenships and no American citizenship, e.g. Canadian-Iranian.
