    So I guess the White House staffing issues are solved. They've picked up some amazing interns!

    WASHINGTON — The Economic Report of the President released on Tuesday by the White House lists several fictional comic book characters and actors as interns for the Council of Economic Advisers.

    ...

    The report then lists interns from the previous year, which include Spider-Man's alter ego Peter Parker, the fictional character's guardian Aunt May, Steve Rogers from Captain America, billionaire caped crusader Bruce Wayne from Batman, and actor John Cleese. Another name listed is John Snow, similar to the spelling of the Game of Thrones character Jon Snow.
    And conservatives say that liberals are obsessed with Hollywood.

    I mean hey, maybe they somehow managed to find real life Peter Parker and Bruce Wayne and a non-British, younger John Cleese. We may never know!

    If that's the case I feel sorry for the individual whose parents named them Aunt May.

    Known white supremacist and Nazi sympathizer Steve King just can't stop himself. His latest hit? Posting a "meme" image promoting a US civil war and implying that conservative states would win because they have "8 trillion bullets".

    Bonus points: Iowa, the state he supposedly represents, is part of the blue "losing" side with liberals.

    Why is it that Republicans/conservatives so frequently seem giddy at the notion of a second civil war and killing their fellow Americans simply because they're liberals?
    Go for it red states, this time we will make Sherman's march look like a pleasant dream.

    Honestly Edge-. Would you want your real name linked to the energetic greco-roman clusterfuck that is this administration?

    If I was the kind of person who would take an internship there, I imagine I would.

    I imagine a lot of the people who worked in the White House from 2017 to 2020 will have conspicuous blank spots on their resumes for those years.

    A more interesting question... How many names can you make up on a report, before starting to run out of ideas, to use Aunt May? For me? Probably 15... how many were “hired” in total? If I was writing that report...

    Total - 15 - every obviously fake name = actual hires

    It really isn't that hard to come up with names either. I do it all the damn time and if I wasn't at work I could do it.

    The next president is going to look like Jesus fucking Christ in comparison to the current one that has the time to just trash talk random fucking people.

    Oh not much going on here. Just the president of the united states going after a private citizen for saying mean things about him.

    And the private citizen happens to be the husband of one of his closest advisers.

    This is totally normal, totally acceptable behavior.

    Kellyanne Conway is standing by a boss who is emasculating her husband / George Conway is staying with a wife who (he believes) is enabling a mad man.

    I assume everyone has seen that Trump proclamation (and accompanying Crayola map) showing that we will have defeated Isis completely and 100% by tonight.

    edit: And no, I'm not kidding

    Remember that time they were "defeated" in December 2018? https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/t...-isis-defeated

    Or that time they were "defeated" in February 2019? https://www.nytimes.com/2019/02/28/w...territory.html

    I look forward to the next dozen times the US apparently "defeats" ISIS over the next year or two.

    Someone needs to make a newsreel of the entire "Mission Accomplished" section of the Bush presidency, sit trump in front of the screen, and make him watch it 100 times. MAYBE he'll learn that prematurely saying the enemy has been defeated is a bad thing.

    How much do you want to bet that that map is/was probably top secret intel that Trump just paraded in front of the press

    "No, we're not talking about removing them," Trump told reporters before departing the White House for a trip to Ohio. "We're talking about leaving them ... for a substantial period of time because we have to make sure that if we do the deal with China that China lives by the deal."
    Trump, master dealmaker, is threatening to keep the tariffs against China even if they have a deal.

    I'm sure China is going to be eager to make a deal if this is a possibility.

    This man is a fucking retard.
