No Wonder Trumps Fact Checking is Bad: His Fact Checkers are literal Fictional People

[Surfd]

And now, for some lighter political humor:



I mean, seriously, is there no quality control or oversight left in your government at all? As hilarious as this shit is, how does something like this manage to make it past whoever is responsible for maintaining the integrity of these things?

Oh, and for all the doubters: you can find the actual document on the official White House Government website.

Page 624 of the PDF lists the interns

They're playing it off as if its some sort of joke, but that's an official document. It's not a joke at all.

What it is, is a another datapoint (as if we needed it) that this White House can't hire people.

Competent people know working for Trump would permenantly tarnish their reputations/careers and stay far away.

Which means the only people who do work for him are toadies who kiss Trumps wrinkled orange ass, incompetent hacks, crooks, or incompetent crooks.

[Dendrek]

Who cares if they don't take their jobs seriously? We need someone fun and cool in the White House. A real bro you can throw back a cold one with. Someone like Trump.

Seriousness is for like... the man, man. #CantTarnishAReputationYouDontHaveAnymore

[some guy]

Can't believe they weren't able to hire Howie Feldersnatch.

[Verdugo]

Ok I can give them a pass for not checking the names.

But AUNT MAY???

[Hilhen7]

Bruce Wayne, wow no wonder they are doing such a good job. They have batman working as an intern!

They had the same thing in 2018. Pretty sure its just a running gag.

I don't think you should put a "running gag" into an official White House document, but that's just me.

[Moonstream]

Well, this whole admin is kind of just a running gag...so I guess they are staying consistent? \(o.O)/

If only there were actual penalties for being painfully incompetent and blatantly and knowingly lying to the American public.

Our government was never set up to deal with dishonest fucksticks like this, and it shows.

[Azadina]

Here I had this strange idea, that falsifying documents was actually illegal. Guess not if you say "it's good joke"?

[DarkTZeratul]

There are, but the people with the power to apply those penalties have decided they'd rather just let him do whatever the fuck he wants because he's ostensibly from their party.

[Vermented]

Names in cyrillic would have been to obvious.

Fair point, I suppose!

Well, the solution is to lie about it!

A more interesting question is whether all the other names are real, or … https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isabelle_Holland

Holland's books for children and young adults tackled a variety of difficult and/or controversial topics—death, rape, incest, teen pregnancy, sexual abuse, and homosexuality. Reoccurring themes in her books for adults and children include the ravages of alcoholism on families, and the healing and redemptive power of animals.

Did anyone else see "ERP production" and think of Goldshire ?

Or that they were hired and someone's been cashing their checks.

Not one person there has any imagination to come up with proper fake names? It's not that hard.

They have enough imagination to try and make Trump sound....decent(?), but not enough to come up with a fucking name? If some random fucko can come up with Abcde as a kids name these fucknuckles can come up with Indy Army, Marsha L. Aurteest, and Frank Lee.

perhaps they wanted this document to be found out, they wanted to sort of blow the whistle in their own way.
Or perhaps they wanted to see just how far this little joke would go.
