This is who the next press secretary should be....

[–] mayakovsky@hexbear.net 16 points 6 days ago (1 children)

This would be incredibly entertaining

[–] InevitableSwing@hexbear.net 17 points 6 days ago

You keep asking me questions about the war! Trump will do what he does! Shoot some missiles or whatever! Stop asking me stupid questions!

---

And then there are innumerable op-eds and "think pieces" about the incivility of the press secretary and his inability to explain Trump's policies in particular his Iran war objectives even though every day Trump wings it on everything because he's an idiot and a fool who doesn't think and never plans ahead.

As evil as Karoline Leavitt was, she was a quick-witted liar. This lady just seemed slow as hell lol

We all know the DC press core has its head up its ass. But it's still kind of amazing to me that broadcast news is treating this pointless palace intrigue crap as though it's crucially important to the future of Trump's presidency meanwhile the strategic petroleum reserve is at its lowest level in 40+ years. That is crucially important to the future of Trump's presidency and what happens in the war.

But the average American has never heard or seen the words "strategic petroleum reserve".

They just like feeling good about being able to bully someone out of the job I guess. I don't care because anyone taking that job is a fucking asshole that deserves it but yeah it doesn't do anything.

Everything is fine

Continue to spend

Wow did she actually break scaramuncis record?

[–] came_apart_at_Kmart@hexbear.net 50 points 1 week ago (2 children)

lol yes. he lasted 6 days. fucking hilarious. i figured it was sinking because she had a fox interview and even that didn't go smooth and the whole "im a lawyer but not legally" cock up, but i thought she'd get a few weeks.

[–] Johnny_Arson@hexbear.net 27 points 1 week ago

Iirc the mooch hung on a whole 11 days

[–] hotspur@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago

Damn that’s impressive. Like the mooch had a decent grifter background so he was able to go on a commentate and probably do weird schemes, but like this lady… shortest ever PressSec who sucked at speaking and was a fake lawyer? I guess she could do meme coins or hawk supplements? Don’t feel sorry for her but what a faceplant, total nationwide humiliation haha.

[–] Le_Wokisme@hexbear.net 11 points 6 days ago

but is she a front-stabber?

[–] Leon_Grotsky@hexbear.net 33 points 1 week ago

Lol poor QAA goes to all the effort of digging all the crap up on her and she's already gone by the next day.

[–] Noodles4dinner@hexbear.net 33 points 1 week ago (2 children)

We need laura loomer in this position. It would be so funny.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Probably wouldn't last the day

[–] ChaosMaterialist@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

Give ~~us~~ her a ~~laugh~~ shot lathe-of-heaven

Imagine she's scheduled for some evening Fox interviews but fired before getting there.

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 23 points 1 week ago (1 children)

She'd chain herself to the podium and need to be physically dragged away

From a CNBC article:

“She’s been treated, I would say, pretty nastily,” Trump said. “And I said to Katie just two minutes ago, I said, ‘Katie, you know, you don’t have to do this if you don’t want.’”

Asked if he would keep her in the role, Trump said, “I’m going to let her make that decision.”

LOL. She's a big girl, who's not a lawyer or an attorney or very good at public speaking. It's up to her.

This woman got fired before I ever got to hear her name once, what did I miss out on here?

[–] StalinIsMaiWaifu@lemmygrad.ml 12 points 6 days ago

Woman was hired to be the Pres secretary/spokes person for the white house. First briefing could barely read the promoter and told really dumb, obvious lies about herself for Little reason.

[–] PolarKraken@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 6 days ago

Became the Mouth of Sauron, got up to talk, could barely talk lololol
