Yes, please.
Apparently there is a new COVID strain that spreads more readily and is highly resistant to the existing vaccine.
To be honest, I first heard of the Four Seasons Total Landscaping fuckup on SNL yesterday, and assumed they were exaggerating. It’s just so weird and so incompetent.
Well. I was about to make a cup of tea, but maybe I’ll switch to an adult beverage instead.
The internet exploded with mockery and memes at the clarification, assuming there had been some bone-headed mix-up by the Trump campaign. The New York Times reported, however, that the mistake was “not in the booking, but in a garbled game of telephone.” The president was apparently told the conference would be at the business but misunderstood the name of the venue, thinking it would be held at the upscale hotel.
In many ways, this mix-up is indicative of the Trump presidency and the help he has received from his team of lawyers, led by former New York City Mayor Rudy Giuliani, who headed the conference.
That still doesn’t explain why they chose that place to begin with.
Here’s the most detailed story so far.
It sounds like the landscaping company didn’t get it either, but just went with it.
Team Trump is still claiming that they totally meant to do that, which is transparently bullshit. They say they wanted to get away from the chaos in Center City, but wouldn’t the perfect place to do that be inside a hotel conference room?
I think someone on Giuliani’s team just called the wrong Four Seasons, which is easy to do on the fly if they just Googled “Four Seasons”. The real question is why they just ran with it instead of backing up and fixing the mistake; the best explanation there is that Rudy is an idiot.
That didn’t take long. Think it was the strain that went through the Dutch minks?
(And damme if that isn’t a good band name.)
I can’t find the link, but I think the final answer was that Four Seasons Landscaping was owned by an area Trump supporter and offered through the local campaign headquarters.
Not sure if the garble happened between the local office and Guiliani, or Guiliani and Trump. I could see how a business called Four Seasons Landscaping could possibly be nice but they should’ve looked at Google Earth before they said yes.
But it was free, and you know these yahoos are spending their own money in their cartoonish quest to overthrow democracy. They’ll never get a dime of it back from Trump or the campaign. They need to save money wherever they can.
The front actually looks rather nice but there’s no place to do a presser except the sidewalk. I’m sure no one would think to check neighboring businesses.
Dutch Minx and the Douche Minks.
Yeah, the problem seems to be that the held the presser in their scrapyard or something.
You have to remember that Rudy Guiliani is, quite literally, insane. Seriously. Right wing media is a drug worse than heroin and he’s the poster child. He was always unpleasant but he wasn’t crazy, he managed to get elected mayor of one of the nations most liberal cities, twice.
But my God, this is stunning. Fox News has inflicted more damage than Purdue Pharmaceuticals.
I wouldn’t bet against the likelihood that the family unit— Melania, her son, and her parents—will be moving back to Slovenia.
Melania probably knows that she can’t get any more $$$ out of Donald. So why not seek their fortunes in Eastern Europe?
I love this quote from the article:
I’ll say Russian kompromat has.
This one made me laugh until I cried. Liberal tears, I guess.
Total Landscaping is ginning up a merch page to be available tomorrow.
It’s up now…
And for anybody that didn’t realize it, all profits from the sales of these shirts are supposed to be going to the Georgia runoffs.
ETA: The ones linked by Fiendish_Astronaut, not the ones linked by Pork_Rind.
I bet the outside company they just founded to manufacture and market the shirts sees to it that no profits are ever generated.
If Guiliani has the next presser in front of a burning dumpster, they’ll make a T-shirt for that, too. The new Seditionware brand.
Seriously, how the fuck can Mike Pence look at the photos of that press conference with his name slapped all over everything and still believe that God loves him for executing his plan?
And just to make sure I made my post clear:
The shirts linked by Fiendish_Astronaut are not associated with the Trump campaign, and were designed “in celebration of the absurdity of the end of the Trump campaign.”
They are the ones advertised as profits going toward Georgia election efforts.
