The Post is a shit rag, but I gotta concede that some of their covers are hilarious.

“I’m with the Perv” could be Trump talking OR Moore talking, amirite?

This surely calls for a parody of the “I’m With Her” logo (blue block letters with red arrow). “I’m With Perv” t-shirts could be photo-shopped onto pics of both Donald and Roy.

Not that that would accomplish anything. But their mutual support for sexual perversity should be acknowledged!

The NY Post IS a shit rag, so I’m curious why they’re taking this tack. I would have expected “Our Great Prez Stands Firmly by Slandered Alabama Martyr.”

Yeah, I’d forgotten that, too.

At least with the coming end of the open Internet (aka the end of Net Neutrality), porn such as that won’t be corrupting our virtue any longer!

Trump’s deputy communications director told the press pool that said she expected a ‘low-key day’ in Mar a Lago this morning. The Press Office then reported, ten minutes later, ‘While the White House communications staff expects the press pool to have a “low-key day”, the president will NOT have a low-key day and has a full schedule of meetings and phone calls.’

An hour later, he was off playing golf

Almost, but not quite, as hilarious as the [NY Daily News](http://www.thearbitraryeye.co.za/wp-content/uploads/2016/11/grab-america-by-the-pussy.jpg) covers.

How did I never notice their logo was “TP?”

It’s hard to imagine a more fitting abbreviation for our current executive branch.

I was asking the Air Force guys, I said, how good is this plane? They said, well, sir, you can’t see it. I said but in a fight. You know, in a fight, like I watch on the movies. The fight, they’re fighting. How good is this? They say, well, it wins every time because the enemy cannot see it. Even if it’s right next to them, it can’t see it. I said that helps.
