Saturday Satire

I’m going to make a relatable boomer reference here that I think best describes the news cycle every damned day of President Trump’s term.  It’s from the 1986 film “Ferris Bueller’s Day Off”.

“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”

Let’s start with yesterday’s press briefing with Kayleigh McEnany during which she accused the FBI of trying to manufacture a crime against President Trump’s National Security Adviser Lt. Gen. Michael Flynn in 2017.  She stated, “The FBI exists to investigate crimes, but in the case of Michael Flynn, it appears that they might have existed to manufacture one.”

Newly unsealed documents revealed the motivation for interviewing him was to “get him to lie” so he would be fired or prosecuted, or to get him to admit to wrongdoing.  McEnany pointed to text messages from Peter Strzok saying, “Hey, don’t close RAZOR [Operation Crossfire Razor].

If you weren’t able to catch the press briefing, the link is here.

During the same briefing resident douchebag Jim Acosta revealed his fear of catching the Chinese Lung Rot and asked McEnany about contact tracing since it was reported that VP Pence’s spokeswoman, Katie Miller, had tested positive for the virus.  Each member of the WH press pool are tested.  Here we see Jimbo dutifully wearing a face mask looking a little drowsy.  It immediately brought to mind the My Pillow ads.

On Wednesday of this week, out of the clear blue, fat-ass has-been drug and alcohol-addicted rocker Axl Rose decided to pick a Twitter fight with Treasury Secretary Steven Mnuchin.  Some folks entered the fray in defense of Mnuchin.  Someone you might be familiar with was one of them.

It’s official! Whatever anyone may have previously thought of Steve Mnuchin he’s officially an asshole.

Not to belabor the point, but Joe Biden is pathetic.  His virtual rallies are a farce.  The video quality is glitchy, pixelated and moves at a snail’s pace.  What the hell is Biden’s team doing?  It’s elder abuse I tell ya.  I think it’s a bad omen for his election chances.  Here are my thoughts and tweets on the matter.

Not only can the Left 𝙉𝙊𝙏 meme, they can't even get their nominee to leave his basement which will lead inevitably to this... pic.twitter.com/EWbhunhtvQ

A Savage Middle Finger To The Press Poodles

I’ve mentioned before that I loved watching what many called “Rona Rallies” where President Trump would shut down arrogant members of the press during the White House Coronavirus Task Force briefings.  None of their “gotcha” questions escaped the President’s devastating bitch-slaps.

Since Mark Meadows became the President’s Chief of Staff, the daily briefings conducted by Press Secretary Kaleigh McEnany have become must-see TV. Yesterday’s confrontation was glorious.

Reuter’s White House Correspondent, Jeff Mason, tip-toed into a mine field Wednesday when he asked, “In a previous life, before you were Press Secretary, you worked for the Trump campaign and you made a comment, I believe on Fox, in which you said President Trump will not allow the coronavirus to come into this country.  Given what has happened since then, obviously, would you like to take that back?”

Her response sent nuclear shock waves throughout the James S. Brady Press Briefing Room.

“I guess I would turn the question back on the media and ask similar questions. Does Vox want to take back that they proclaim that the coronavirus would not be a deadly pandemic? Does The Washington Post want to take back that they told Americans to 'get a grip,' the flu is bigger than the coronavirus? Does The Washington Post, likewise, want to take back that our brains are causing us to exaggerate the threat of the coronavirus?"

"Does The New York Times want to take back that fear of the virus may be spreading faster than the virus itself? Does NPR want to take back that the flu was a much bigger threat than the coronavirus? And finally, once again, The Washington Post, would they like to take back that the government should not respond aggressively to the coronavirus?"

"I'll leave you with those questions and maybe you'll have some answers in a few days," McEnany said before calmly leaving the room.

BOOM!
