JUST IN: Mika Responds To the rich asshole’s ‘Bloody Facelift’ Tweet Like A Badass Boss
Caleb R. Newton - June 29, 2017
The fact that President the rich asshole is obsessed enough with his public image so as to feel the need to address his treatment on prominent television programs is bad enough, but the way in which he went about this on Thursday is even worse.
On Thursday, he posted a tweetstorm asserting that Morning Joe co-hosts Mika Brzezinski and Joe Scarborough had sought to join him in New Year’s Eve celebrations. the rich asshole was angry over recent negative press about him om Morning Joe. Mika has now clapped back on Twitter, and it’s pretty epic.
Playing off the president’s obsession with his public image, Mika posted an image of the back of a Cheerio’s box a short time after the rich asshole’s tweetstorm. She didn’t include a caption; the image alone was enough — the box says that Cheerio’s cereal is “Made For Little Hands.”
Check it out below.
The president, of course, has long been mocked for having supposedly small hands, and as with other things of the same sort, the rich asshole takes these slights very personally.
His anger isn’t at that such admittedly low jabs would gain traction; it’s just at that anyone would dare oppose him or make fun of him. This is why he declared earlier this year that Saturday Night Live was an “unfunny” show that should be retired, while at the same time continuing to peddle hatred himself.
In the rich asshole’s Tuesday morning tweetstorm targeting the Morning Joe co-hosts, he claimed, no doubt falsely, that Mika was “bleeding badly from a face lift” when she came to him around New Year’s Eve. As POLITICO reporter Hadas Gold put it, “I see we are back to women bleeding from somewhere.”
I heard poorly rated @Morning_Joe speaks badly of me (don't watch anymore). Then how come low I.Q. Crazy Mika, along with Psycho Joe, came..
Twitter, by and large, is on Mika’s side. Check out replies to her clapback at the rich asshole below.
@morningmika Don't worry @morningmika Trump is just upset he can't get a woman to sleep with him unless he imports them first
@morningmika You are tremendous and Donald is a piece of shit who is going to jail and that’s all you need to know. #TeamMika
@morningmika Nice! Donnie Doll Hands doesn't like when people make fun of his hands, fake skin color or fake hair.
@morningmika Our president is a disturbed individual. You are a strong, professional woman. Maybe you can help with @FLOTUS's antibullying campaign?

'Please just stop': Republicans plead with the rich asshole over Mika Brzezinski tweets
House Speaker Paul Ryan, three GOP senators and a GOP congresswoman on Thursday condemned President the rich asshole for his Twitter attacks on the hosts of Morning Joe.
While it isn't unusual for the president to attack people on Twitter, his Thursday morning tweets insulting Joe Scarborough and Mika Brzezinski drew particular ire from his fellow Republicans.
On the Hill, Ryan told reporters, "Obviously I don't see that as an appropriate comment... What we're trying to do around here is improve the tone, the civility of the debate. And this obviously doesn't help do that."
Sen. Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, Sen. Ben Sasse of Nebraska and Sen. James Lankford of Oklahoma criticized the president's attacks on Twitter:
They were joined in their denouncement by Rep. Lynn Jenkins of Kansas:
This is not okay. As a female in politics I am often criticized for my looks. We should be working to empower women. twitter.com/realDonaldTrum…
On Thursday, some rich asshole truly became the President. He bravely stood up to the FAKE NEWS media by tweeting about MSNBC’s Mika Brzezinski having blood coming out of her wherever — “wherever” in this case being her face.
While the LAMEEstream media is presenting this as a horrible incident of cyber-bullying, White House spokesidiot Sarah Huckabee Sanders says that the rich asshole was just pushing back because the tortured little snowflake is being “bullied by the liberal media.”
“This is a president who fights fire with fire and certainly will not be allowed to be bullied by the liberal media,” Sanders told right-wing propaganda network Fox News.
“Look, I don’t think that the president’s ever been someone who gets attacked and doesn’t push back. There have been an outrageous number of personal attacks, not just to him but to frankly everyone around him,” she added.
These “attacks” include the publishing or dissemination of any facts that are inconvenient or damaging to the rich asshole.
That anyone associated with the rich asshole would even consider defending this reprehensible attack on one of his critics speaks volumes about this administration.

the rich asshole lawyer's firm steered millions in donations to family members, files show
Documents obtained by the Guardian reveal Jay Sekulow approved plans to push people to give to his Christian nonprofit, which then paid big sums to his family
But Jay Sekulow, who is now an attorney to some rich asshole, had a private jet to finance. His law firm was expecting a $3m payday. And six-figure contracts for members of his family needed to be taken care of.
Documents obtained by the Guardian show Sekulow that month approved plans to push poor and jobless people to donate money to his Christian nonprofit, which since 2000 has steered more than $60m to Sekulow, his family and their businesses.
Telemarketers for the nonprofit, Christian Advocates Serving Evangelism (Case), were instructed in contracts signed by Sekulow to urge people who pleaded poverty or said they were out of work to dig deep for a “sacrificial gift”.
“I can certainly understand how that would make it difficult for you to share a gift like that right now,” they told retirees who said they were on fixed incomes and had “no extra money” – before asking if they could spare “even $20 within the next three weeks”.
In addition to using tens of millions of dollars in donations to pay Sekulow, his wife, his sons, his brother, his sister-in-law, his niece and nephew and their firms, Case has also been used to provide a series of unusual loans and property deals to the Sekulow family.
Attorneys and other experts specialising in nonprofit law said the Sekulows risked violating a federal law against nonprofits paying excessive benefits to the people responsible for running them. Sekulow declined to detail how he ensured the payments were reasonable.
“This is all highly unusual, and it gives an appearance of conflicts of interest that any nonprofit should want to avoid,” said Daniel Borochoff, the president of CharityWatch, a Chicago-based group that monitors nonprofits.
Sekulow, 61, is the president of Case and the chief counsel of its sister organization, the American Center for Legal Justice (ACLJ). He has become one of the rich asshole’s most vocal defenders since joining the team of attorneys representing the president amid investigations into possible ties between his campaign and Russia.
Sekulow did not respond to a series of detailed questions from the Guardian.
His spokesman, Gene Kapp, said in an emailed statement: “The financial arrangements between the ACLJ, Case and all related entities are regularly reviewed by outside independent compensation experts and have been determined to be reasonable. In addition, each entity has annual independent outside audits performed by certified public accounting firms. Further, the IRS has previously conducted audits of the ACLJ and Case and found them to be in full compliance of all applicable tax laws.”
Sekulow is an ally of the conservative televangelist Pat Robertson and made his name in Washington by fighting against abortion rights and efforts to legalise same-sex marriage.
He founded Case in 1988 to build on a successful appearance at the US supreme court on behalf of the group Jews For Jesus, after an earlier career as a real estate attorney ended in bankruptcy and legal disputes. Sekulow has gone on to use Case as a platform for legal action to defend Christians against perceived encroachments on their rights.
Case raises tens of millions of dollars a year, much of it in small amounts from Christians who receive direct appeals for money over the telephone or in the mail. The telemarketing contracts obtained by the Guardian show how fundraisers were instructed by Sekulow to deliver bleak warnings about topics including abortion, Sharia law and Barack Obama.
“It’s time to let the president know that his vision of America is obscured and represents a dangerous threat to the Judea-Christian [sic] values that have been the cornerstone of our republic,” one script from 2015 said.
A 2013 script warned listeners that Obama’s signature healthcare law, the Affordable Care Act, promised to give Planned Parenthood federal funding to open abortion referral clinics “in your child’s or grandchild’s middle school or high school”.

Sekulow has assured supporters that his organization “does not charge” for its services. “We are dependent on God and the resources He provides through the gifts of people who share our vision,” he wrote in a letter sent to contributors.
For years, the nonprofits have made a notable amount of payments to Sekulow and his family, which were first reported by Law.com. Since 2000, a law firm co-owned by Sekulow, the Constitutional Litigation and Advocacy Group, has been paid more than $25m by the nonprofits for legal services. During the same period, Sekulow’s company Regency Productions, which produces his talk radio show, was paid $11.3m for production services.
Sekulow also personally received other compensation totalling $3.3m. Pam Sekulow, his wife, has been paid more than $1.2m in compensation for serving astreasurer and secretary of Case.
Sekulow’s brother, Gary, the chief operating officer of the nonprofits, has been paid $9.2m in salary and benefits by them since 2000. Gary Sekulow has stated in Internal Revenue Service (IRS) filings that he works 40 hours per week – the equivalent of a full-time job – for each of the nonprofits. Filers are told to specify if any of the hours were spent on work for “related organizations”. He does not.
Meanwhile, a company run by Gary’s wife, Kim Sekulow, has received $6.2m since 2000 in fees for media production services and for the lease of a private jet, which it owned jointly with Jay Sekulow’s company Regency Productions. The jet was made available for the use of Jay and Pam Sekulow, according to corporate filings.
Jay’s two sons, and Gary’s son and daughter, have also shared at least $1.7m in compensation for work done for the nonprofits since 2000.
Federal law bars insiders at a nonprofit from receiving “excess benefit”, which is defined as payment exceeding the fair market value for goods or services the insider provides. If the IRS finds that an excess benefit has been paid, the recipient may be fined 200% of the benefit’s value, and the nonprofit could be stripped of its valuable tax-exempt status.
“I can’t imagine this situation being acceptable,” said Arthur Rieman, managing attorney at the California-based Law Firm for Nonprofits. “That kind of money is practically unheard of in the nonprofit world, and these kinds of transactions I could never justify.”
The way Sekulow’s nonprofits are set up may obscure how much money goes to his family, according to some experts.
Most payments to the Sekulows are made via Case and listed in Case’s annual filings to the US government. But Case actually fundraises and does business using the name ACLJ. Any donors examining ACLJ filings to see how their money was spent will actually be looking at paperwork for a separate entity, which does not mention Case’s payments to the Sekulows.
“The organizations should be merged to avoid confusion,” said Borochoff of CharityWatch.
In addition to receiving payments for salaries and contracts, the Sekulows have also entered into a series of unusual financial agreements and property deals with their own nonprofits.
In one arrangement, Case paid a company owned by Jay Sekulow to sublet office space from 1998 to 2002. The location was not publicly identified but in corporate filings during that period both Case and the company cited the same suite in an industrial park in Lawrenceville, Georgia, as their headquarters.
Case said in a government filing that the sublet deal was “based on fair market rate”. The then owners of the building told the Guardian that Sekulow’s company paid them $7,700 per month to rent the space, totalling $462,000 for the entire five-year lease. But previously unreported Case accounts say the nonprofit paid Sekulow’s company more than $700,000 for the sublet, attributing some of this total to telephone and utility bills.
“They are asking for trouble, because it would be so easy for them to overpay for services and enrich the people involved,” said Borochoff. “It would be prudent for their own protection to have independent oversight.”
In another deal, Sekulow’s wife Pam, Case’s treasurer and secretary, bought a “retreat property” in North Carolina from Case in 1998 with help from a $245,000 loan out of the nonprofit’s funds. The Case board, controlled by her family, then decided to forgive $217,742 of what Pam owed and count this as compensation, the previously unreported accounts say.
Having taken control of the property, the Sekulows then remortgaged it at market value, and continue to own it today. Case said in the accounts that the house sale to Pam Sekulow “represented estimated fair market value”.
Case separately loaned Jay Sekulow $209,968 in 1999. Over the following years, the Case board voted to forgive $211,305 of the loan and interest payments – more than the original amount Sekulow had borrowed – and classify all this as compensation.
These forgiven loan repayments were detailed each year in Case’s audited accounts, but were usually not listed in its annual “form 990”, a disclosure document that all tax-exempt organizations must file to the IRS and which is more readily available to the public.
In 2004, the Case board also wrote off $769,143 that it was owed by Amerivision, an Oklahoma-based firm selling telephone services where Jay Sekulow was a director. Amerivision had recently declared bankruptcy. Despite suffering such a loss from the relationship, Case lent Amerivision another $187,500 in 2005. The Case board further agreed to accept “donated equipment” from a production company owned by Sekulow instead of the $43,402 that company owed the nonprofit.
The Sekulows also received assistance from Case in their accommodation. A townhouse in Washington bought by Case with $1.5m in contributions from its supporters has been used as a residence by Sekulow’s son Jordan, who is a director of the nonprofit. Jordan and his wife remain registered to vote at the property.
For several years, Case leased yet another property it owned to Jay Sekulow’s parents. Case accounts said Sekulow’s parents paid the nonprofit $1,550 per month to rent the unidentified house, based on an estimate of “fair market rates”.
Legal experts said the arrangements raised questions. “While I can’t comment on the specific legality here, there certainly does appear to be an unusual number of related-party transactions,” said Jeffrey Tenenbaum, a Washington-based attorney who represents nonprofits. “Generally speaking, that would usually create significant risk of private inurement and impermissible private benefit.”
Attorneys said that in anticipation of questions being raised by any potential IRS audit, Case should have retained documentation justifying their expenditures, such as salary surveys, property appraisals and competitive bids for contracts.
“$60m is a lot of money,” said Charles Bridgers, an Atlanta-based attorney practising in nonprofit law. “If the IRS did an audit, they’d want to understand what they based that value on. We need to understand whether it might have conferred an excess benefit.”
What The Heck! the rich asshole’s Attorney Absurdly Demands Obama Apologize for Russia’s Election Rigging
JUNE 27, 2017
some rich asshole’s personal lawyer Jay Sekulow issued a bizarre series of tweets calling on former President Barack Obama to apologize for Russia’s attempts to sway the 2016 presidential election for his client.
It’s quite a pivot from the same team that has repeatedly dismissed Russia’s interference in our election, and even claimed the story is “fake news” invented by Democrats.
Sekulow, who was brought on to help the rich asshole navigate the special counsel investigation of his activities, said the rich asshole “deserves an apology” from Obama after the rich asshole and Russia’s actions triggered the appointment of former FBI Director Robert Mueller as special counsel.
The demand is yet another example of the authoritarian cult of personality the rich asshole has surrounded himself with, in which his actions are never to be questioned, but those of his political opponents and adversaries warrant persecution.
It is also factually inaccurate.
some rich asshole went on another uncontrollable rant against the media on Tuesday morning.
Days after three CNN employees resigned over a minor story about the Russia investigation that turned out to be incorrect, the rich asshole took to Twitter to gloat about it and claimed that because this story was wrong all the other news about Russia is “fake,” too.
CNN responsibly retracted a story that alleged a connection to Russia by the rich asshole adviser Anthony Scaramucci. Scaramucci even called the move “classy” and called for “moving on.” Well, the rich asshole didn’t move on. He seized the situation as an opportunity to attack the media, with the exception being Fox News, as usual, arguing that because CNN got a story wrong that it must mean every other story in the media about Russia is wrong as well. Seriously.
So they caught Fake News CNN cold, but what about NBC, CBS & ABC? What about the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost? They are all Fake News!
the rich asshole even retweeted Fox hosts who parroted his claim that the Democrats are the ones who committed collusion.
Keep in mind that these CNN staffers actually resigned over an insignificant error. Meanwhile, Sean Hannity has been lying for weeks about the death of Seth Rich and he still has a job.
the rich asshole is apparently so desperate to stop the Russia investigation that he will do or say anything.
the rich asshole is also a hypocrite because most of what he has said since taking office is false, yet he refuses to resign.
Twitter users even pointed out this hypocrisy and proceeded to mock him.
@OldBenCovfefe @LTMiller7 @JackPosobiec@realDonaldTrump Hmm, pot, kettle...
President Trump’s Lies, the Definitive List nyti.ms/2sZqacl
@realDonaldTrump Wouldn't a true fake news network not retract the story and keep the fake story going?
@realDonaldTrump Something like taping Comey or Obama's birth certificate or crowd size at the 2017 inauguration?
@realDonaldTrump @nytimes @washingtonpost The @nytimesisn’t failing, Donald. Digital subscriptions up by MILLIONS. Stock near a 52 week high. Not failing at all, Donald. SOARING.
@realDonaldTrump @nytimes @washingtonpost You're spewing the fake news. The 1st Amendment is there, in part, so the media can explain that.
Attacking ALL media is what dictators do
some rich asshole must be truly insane if he really thinks one retracted story means he is vindicated.
some rich asshole Tears Into CNN Over Retracted Russia Story
He claimed the network’s ratings were “way down” while dismissing CNN and other outlets as “fake news.”
President some rich asshole blasted CNN as “FAKE NEWS” Tuesday after three of the network’s most seasoned journalists resigned over their involvement in a recently retracted story.
the rich asshole attacked CNN and other media outlets in a torrent of tweets following the network’s acceptance of the journalists’ resignations Monday over the Russia-related story.
The president also retweeted a doctored image of CNN’s logo remade into “FNN,” or “Fake News Network.”
The veteran reporters and editors ― Thomas Frank, Lex Haris and Eric Lichtblau ― submitted their resignations Monday morning after CNN retracted and apologized for a story on Friday that linked a member of the rich asshole’s transition team to Russian-related federal investigations.
The article alleged Anthony Scaramucci, a financier and close ally of the rich asshole, was tied to a Russian investment fund allegedly being investigated by the Senate Intelligence Committee. The article was removed from the site and replaced with an editor’s note stating that the story “did not meet CNN’s editorial standards.”
On June 22, 2017, CNN.com published a story connecting Anthony Scaramucci with investigations into the Russian Direct Investment Fund.That story did not meet CNN’s editorial standards and has been retracted. Links to the story have been disabled. CNN apologizes to Mr. Scaramucci.
The retraction marked only the latest in a string of embarrassing incidents for the news network, including firing one of its TV hosts, Reza Aslan, for tweeting that the rich asshole was a “piece of shit.”
CNN’s blunder was red meat for conservatives hell bent on accusing the “mainstream media” of fabricating stories, especially articles focused on federal investigations into alleged ties between the rich asshole associates and Russian government officials.
In another tweet, the rich asshole accused CNN of publishing other “phony” stories, though it’s unclear to which pieces he was referring. He did go on to retweet “Fox & Friends,” a TV show that has been notably soft on its coverage of the president, several times.
The president later lashed out several other media adversaries, tweeting that NBC, ABC and several other outlets were “fake news.”
He also tweeted that CNN was “looking at big management changes” in light of the retraction and claimed the network’s ratings were “way down.” the rich asshole didn’t cite a source for his ratings claim, which differ from reports last month suggesting the network’s ratings were surging.
So they caught Fake News CNN cold, but what about NBC, CBS & ABC? What about the failing @nytimes & @washingtonpost? They are all Fake News!
CNN used facts to shut down the rich asshole’s ratings claims, tweeting in responseTuesday that the network just posted its most-watched second quarter in history.
The Absolutely Cringeworthy Moment the rich asshole Tried Flirting With An Irish Reporter (VIDEO)
some rich asshole was in a room full of Irish reporters while placing a call to their newly elected Irish leader Leo Varadkar when Irish reporter Caitriona Perry seems to have caught his eye. What followed was awkward for everybody in the room, especially the deeply confused reporter.
Despite being married to his third wife and at that very moment awaiting a phone call with world leader, the rich asshole decided it would be a good time to flirt with Perry. First, picking her out of the sea of reporters, he tells her to come closer. Then he asks what outlet she works for, and while she answers, he talks over her saying “we have beautiful Irish press.” When the moment descends into awkward silence, the rich asshole tells her she has a “nice smile.”
Perry laughs uncomfortably. The rest of us cringe.
On Twitter, Perry herself posted the video, describing it as a “bizarre moment.”
Video of the bizarre moment when President @realDonaldTrumpcalled me over during his call with Taoiseach @campaignforLeoVaradkar. @rtenews
Sadly, for Americans, the moment is painfully real. the rich asshole, by his own admission, boasted that he likes exploiting his celebrity status to come on to women – even if they say no. Shortly before the election, over a dozen women came forward to describe times he inappropriately touched or harassed them.
the rich asshole has also been known to target reporters with sexual advances. During the election, People magazine reporter Natasha Stoynoff documented the time she says the rich asshole assaulted her while his wife was in the house.
Since the election, many of the people who voted for him despite the allegations justified doing so by saying his alleged victims were making it all up. But his continued behavior is troubling. To watch the rich asshole come on to Perry so brazenly only seems to reinforce the idea that he has crossed the line with other women. The cameras were rolling, there was a room full of people, and this is how he behaves?
A Fake Cover For A Fake President: the rich asshole Hangs Phony ‘Time’ Magazine At His Golf Resorts
I remember when I was a kid, I would tell people I knew karate.
Partly I did it to ward off potential bullies. It sort of worked, I suppose. But the real reason I lied about karate — a discipline that takes practice, patience, and a host of attributes I was not endowed with as a child — was to impress people. Now that I’m grown, I have to wonder what some rich asshole’s childhood lies were. The ones he tells now are ridiculous. They’re certainly not impressing anyone.
Tuesday’s edition of the Washington Post features a story of what could be a harmless lie the rich asshole still tells. But when you couple it with the patterns you see in the rest of his public persona, you are left with the impression of a very insecure, childish man. It’s the story of a fake Time Magazine cover.
The photoshopped cover hangs on the walls of at least four of his seventeen courses, and features a full-frame photo of the rich asshole. Headlines declaring his success emblazon the page:
RICH ASSHOLE IS HITTING ON ALL FRONTS… EVEN TV!
If those don’t look like Time headlines to you, it’s probably because you’ve seen one or two. They don’t use exclamation points — a telltale sign of the rich asshole influence on the design — and if they ever did, two of them would be out of the question. Time would probably remember to put the entire name of the show in quotation marks. WaPo gets into all of the signs that the cover is fake, including a quote from a Time spokeswoman, Kerri Chyka:
I can confirm that this is not a real TIME cover.
It looks like a gift to himself.
It’s not just one of those novelty covers, either. You know, where you get your dad’s face with some hilarious headline on a fake newspaper and give it to him for his birthday. No, the designer for the vanity cover the rich asshole decorates his resorts with went to the trouble of looking up the headlines from a real issue around the date of the fake one. The fake has a date of March 1, 2009. The purloined headlines about Obama and banking news are from the March 2 edition. That means whoever made this actually did some reasearch to make it look real.
So how does this tie in to fake claims about inauguration attendance? Phony assurances of jobs created or saved? Claimed credit for others’ successes?
He should probably just go back to telling people he knows karate.
SPORTS ILLUSTRATED TROLLS THE RICH ASSHOLE OVER FAKE TIME COVER AND THE REACTIONS ARE GLORIOUS (TWEETS)
Posted by Rika Christensen on 27 Jun 2017
the rich asshole has been caught making fake news of his own. A Time Magazine coveradorning the walls at his club depicted the narcissistic occupier of the White House as, well, more important, famous, and influential than he really was. It’s been proven to be a complete fabrication, and Time has demanded that the rich asshole take it down.
But Sports Illustrated sees it a little bit…differently, shall we say. Upon discovering that the Time cover was fake, they tweeted this:
Because the rich asshole isn’t likely to see that, let alone respond to it, Twitter very kindly did it for him. The results are pretty embarrassing for the rich asshole:
@ayallgood @practicalknow @SInow @realDonaldTrumpHere's a classic for the inside spread.
(When you campaign and govern with hate,
it comes back to get you in the ass)
What this shows is that the rich asshole just can’t seem to stop embarrassing himself and giving the internet openings to exploit that embarrassment
the rich asshole Gives Up The Fight For His Own Healthcare Bill; Says He Doesn’t Care If It Fails (VIDEO)
Share this Article!
Looks like some rich asshole doesn’t believe in his own health care bill. Yes, the same bill that he has been pushing to ‘replace and repeal’ Obamacare. The one he said would be so much better. The one that put millions out of healthcare. Yea, that same one he celebrated when it was initially ‘passed’ before being shot down by Senate Parliamentarian. YES, that one.
Tuesday Republican Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell told the rich asshole to ‘pump the brakes’ for voting on Trumpcare. The President held a meeting immediately after with GOP senators at the White House in attempts to save the bill. However, it seemed like he was so exhausted with trying to replace Obamacare. It’s like he held the meeting to announce that he’s throwing in the towel. He told the senators that he essentially didn’t care if the bill failed.
“This will be great if we get it done. And if we don’t get it done, it’s just going to be something that we’re not going to like. And that’s okay, and I understand that very well.”
Pretty much sounds he’s accepted the loss. A recent poll by NBC News/WSJ Poll only 16 percent of the country supported the House version of Trumpcare. It’s no secret that Obamacare is way more beneficial that the rich asshole’s Affordable Health Care Act. So, the rich asshole is right to give up. He was never going to win the fight. It’s not fair to play with people’s health or their lives as a matter of fact just because you’re obsessed with
It’s not fair to play with people’s health or their lives as a matter of fact just because you’re obsessed with one-upping Barack Obama. Let the bill be preserved and find something else to focus on.
Colossal White House Screw Up Leads To the rich asshole Endorsing Child Labor In New Ad (VIDEO)
If there is one thing going for the American people against the rich asshole’s assault on decency, liberties, and intelligence it’s that he and his team are so incompetent that they can’t even do the simplest things without humiliating themselves. An obvious example of that sheer stupidity comes at us from this pro-the rich asshole ad, which he recently proudly posted to his Facebook page.
Thanks to the crack team over at the White House, a simple spelling mistake turned the rich asshole’s coal fetish into a call to relax child labor laws. In boasting about his efforts to kill clean energy and bring back coal, he promised to “put our minors back to work.”
The word he was looking for was “miners.” Apparently, nobody at the rich asshole’s White House noticed the typo. It’s been six hours and nobody has bothered to fix it, either.
This would be a funny gaffe if it weren’t so depressingly common. the rich asshole has issued statements misspelling the names and titles of foreign leaders. the rich asshole has misspelled words as simple and varied as “Denmark” (Denmakr), “honored” (honered), “among” (amoung), and “unprecedented” (unpresidented).
A White House statement bragging about Betsy DeVos spelled “education” wrong. She’s the Secretary of Education.
The Library of Congress gift shop had to pull a poster honoring the rich asshole’s inauguration when people noticed it, too, had an ridiculously simple typo.
No joke: Purchasable copy of Trump's Inauguration Print, direct from the Library of Congress site. A 5th grader would've spotted this typo.
Speaking at the John F. Kennedy school, Gingrich said that children in the poorest neighborhoods are “trapped in child laws” that prevent them from earning money.“Most of these schools ought to get rid of the unionized janitors, have one master janitor and pay local students to take care of the school,” Gingrich said according to a CNN video.
the rich asshole hasn’t gone that far. He’s only hinted that he would prefer children work. During Obama’s administration when he was eager to pretend the unemployment rate was sky high he would sometimes count children as part of his inflated unemployment figures.
Instead of worrying about coal miners and school-aged minors, the rich asshole, who was born rich and stayed that way, might want to invest in some additional schooling for himself. Basic grammar and spelling would be a good place to start.
the rich asshole’s Lawyer Said That Mike Pence Should Be President; the rich asshole Is Done For
June 19, 2017 News
Share this Article!
Mark Corallo, the spokesman for some rich asshole’s personal legal team, suggested that Vice President Mike Pence, not some rich asshole, should be the Republican nominee for president in 2020.
For those who may not know, Corallo posted many remarks about Ivanka the rich asshole and Jared Kushner holding high positions in the White House, suggesting they were part of “the swamp” that the rich asshole swore to drain once in office, according to the New York Times.
Dear Mr. President, this is worse than just “bad optics.” It’s sleazy. You could start draining the swamp by removing your in-laws. https://t.co/7g759PHQSL

Recently this month, Corallo practically praised the special counsel leading the investigation into possible collusion between the rich asshole’s campaign and Russia to interfere with the 2016 election, Robert Mueller. the rich asshole, by contrast, has described the investigation as a “witch-hunt,” being “led by some very bad and conflicted people!”
As explained by The Times:
Mr. Corallo is a longtime conservative public relations operative who now serves as spokesman for the rich asshole lawyer Marc E. Kasowitz and a growing legal team charged with defending the president in a web of investigations. His posts are a rare instance of a the rich asshole ally publicly venting criticism of a president who prizes loyalty and is known to be averse to dissent.
“Hey Mr. President, where’s all the ‘winning?’” Mr. Corallo wrote last month, appearing to compare some rich asshole to Bill Clinton, who hailed from Arkansas, and his famous parsing of words. “Or, like the guy from AR, are you going to tell me it depends on the definition of ‘winning?’ ”
Hey Mr. President, where’s all the “winning?” Or, like the guy from AR, are you going to tell me it depends on the definition of “winning?”

White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer will step back from giving reporters the daily press briefing and is searching for his replacement at the podium.
"We have sought input from many people as we look to expand our communications operation. As he did in the beginning, Sean Spicer is managing both the communications and press office," White House officials said in a statement Monday.
Spicer will continue to fill the duties of the communications director – a post that has been empty since the end of May after the resignation of Mike Dubke.
There has been plenty of speculation about Spicer's job almost since the first day of the rich asshole administration, when he came before members of the media to defend the new president's claims about crowd sizes at his inauguration. The chatter has ramped up in recent weeks, as he gave over many of his briefing duties to his deputy, Sarah Huckabee Sanders.
The White House has reportedly not yet settled on a title for Spicer's new role, which is part of a broader shakeup meant to wipe the slate clean after a series of communications missteps.
According to Politico, Spicer and White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus are interviewing candidates for the press secretary role. Among the candidates are said to be Laura Ingraham, the Fox News personality and a potential candidate to challenge Sen. Tim Kaine, D-Va., and David Martosko, the editor of the Daily Mail, who met with senior White House strategist Steve Bannon last week.
Sanders has reportedly told people she does not want the job.
Kimberly Guilfoyle, a co-host of Fox News' "The Five," last month said she had conversations with the rich asshole administration about taking over the role, but apparently has not been formally interviewed.
Last week was told DJT called Ingraham but was iffy on the podium. Guilfoyle said no. Jared likes Martosko. TrumpMiller as comms twitter.com/JaredRizzi/sta…
The White House has not held an on-camera briefing since June 12.
Panicked White House bans cameras from press briefings for a week straight

Despite mounting evidence of both collusion and obstruction of justice in the Russia investigation, there was no on-camera White House press briefing Monday. That makes it a week since the last briefing.
White House press secretary Sean Spicer held an off-camera press “gaggle,” but no cameras or audio were allowed. The original daily press schedule the White House provided to media listed the briefing schedule as “TBD,” but an updated schedule sent Monday morning announced Spicer would be holding a “off-Camera (not for broadcast or audio)” gaggle.
Notably, at last week’s off-camera gaggle, deputy press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders didn’t use a microphone and at least one reporter struggled to hear her over the air conditioning.
The last time the White House held a full on-camera press briefing, Spicer completely contradicted some rich asshole’s “100 percent” commitment to testify under oath.
That was last Monday, and things have only gotten worse since.
the rich asshole’s personal lawyer, who blitzed the Sunday show circuit yesterday, also directly contradicted the rich asshole’s own words, denying that the rich asshole is under investigation by special counsel Robert Mueller for obstruction of justice, despite the rich asshole himself tweeting, “I am being investigated.”
It’s a chaotic cycle. Journalists ask the White House for answers. The White House either contradicts the rich asshole or refers them to the rich asshole’s personal lawyer. the rich asshole’s personal lawyer contradicts the rich asshole, who continues to smear and lie through his Twitter feed. Monday morning, the rich asshole even strangely promoted his personal lawyer’s appearance on TV, but then oddly deleted the tweet.
It wasn’t so long ago that the rich asshole floated the notion of doing away with press briefings altogether, unless, he said, he were to do it himself. And even more recently, he mused over how he could profit off of questions from the press.
Amidst the chaos and confusion, transparency is needed more than ever. But this White House is reacting by doing the opposite.
Jay Sekulow’s bizarre debut: some rich asshole picked a lawyer he saw on Fox News and it isn’t going well
Why is a Christian crusader with little relevant experience suddenly acting as the rich asshole's defense lawyer? Look closer

Last week The Washington Post dropped one of the biggest bombshells of the Russia scandal to date when it published a story with five different sources saying that that special counsel Robert Mueller was looking into President some rich asshole’s actions related to the firing of former FBI Director James Comey. The sources were anonymous so the White House could have easily made no comment and let its outside surrogates construct some “alternative facts,” if only to buy some time.
Then the president, up in the middle of the night — probably obsessively watching “the shows” on his TiVo — took to Twitter to admit that he was under investigation and he seemed to blame it on the deputy attorney general, Rod Rosenstein. By confirming that he was under investigation, the rich asshole moved the story along substantially for no good reason. But that’s him. He is congenitally unable to keep his cool.
It had been widely reported that the rich asshole has been unable to hire any top law firms to represent him because they believe he is likely to shoot off his mouth against their advice. According to Yahoo News, one lawyer said the concerns were as follows: “The guy won’t pay and he won’t listen.” So after Comey’s last public testimony, the rich asshole unleashed his longtime private lawyer Marc Kasowitz to rebut the charges and it wasn’t a smooth performance.
The president apparently decided he needed someone with a little bit more experience in Washington. Since all the A-list defense attorneys were “unavailable” to come to the president’s defense, he had to turn to the right-wing fever swamps and a man named Jay Sekulow, a familiar presence for viewers of Fox News.
It’s a bit unexpected for Sekulow to work for a president with a reputation as a crude libertine who clearly lacks any sincere commitment to religion and “traditional values.” Sekulow is best known for his work at the American Center for Law and Justice, the Christian conservatives’ answer to the American Civil Liberties Union, which the Rev. Pat Robertson founded in 1990.
The American Center for Law and Justice has become known in recent years for its work against gay marriage but it has been fighting at the front of every culture-war battle of the past 27 years. Sekulow has argued some of its most important school prayer and abortion-clinic protest cases before the Supreme Court. He even represented the notorious anti-abortion organization Operation Rescue in a famous case that determined that the RICO Act (which is used to prosecute organized crime figures) could not be used against anti-abortion protesters.
Sekulow and the American Center for Law and Justice have been heavily involved in the Christian right’s odious project to criminalize homosexuality in Africa. Mother Jones reported on this in 2012:
Sekulow and his son Jordan opened affiliated offices of the ACLJ in Africa to lobby politicians to “take the Christian’s views into consideration as they draft legislation and policies,” according to ACLJ’s website. ACLJ’s Zimbabwe office has pushed an agenda that backs outlawing same-sex marriage and making sure that homosexuality “remain[s] a criminal activity.”
The agenda of the American Center for Law and Justice includes ensuring that abortion is banned as well.
Why would some rich asshole hire a right-wing First Amendment lawyer rather than a defense attorney? Well, it’s obviously because Sekulow is a “legal analyst” for Fox News, which the rich asshole watches obsessively. He likely saw Sekulow “defend” him on TV one night and decided he’d be a good “defense” lawyer.
So far, that’s not going too well. Sekulow made the rounds on all the Sunday talk shows (a feat known as the “full Ginsburg” after Monica Lewinsky’s attorney, William Ginsburg, who hit all the shows in one famous blitz at the height of the scandal involving her.) He insisted to anyone who would listen that despite the president’s tweeting that he was under investigation, he was really responding only to the news report and isn’t under investigation at all.
It didn’t make much sense, but Sekulow sounded highly confident in his assertion until he came to his home network, Fox News, to appear on Chris Wallace’s show. That’s when things fell apart. Wallace asked why, if the president isn’t under investigation, he would go after Rosenstein, describing the situation as a “witch hunt.” Sekulow lost his poise and began explaining that the rich asshole had taken the advice of the attorney general and his deputy and “now the Department of Justice is investigating him.”
Wallace called him on it, and they had a spirited back and forth during which Wallace insisted that Sekulow had said what we’d just heard him say:
Chris Wallace: Well, but you don’t know that he isn’t under investigation now, do you?
Jay Sekulow: Well, no one’s notified us that he is. So I — I can’t read people’s minds, but I can tell you this: We have not been notified that there’s an investigation to the president of the United States. So that — nothing has changed in that regard since James Comey’s testimony.
Wallace: Well, you don’t know that he’s not under investigation again, sir. I mean you might —
Sekulow: You know, I can’t read the mind — you’re right, Chris, I can’t read the minds of the special prosecutor.
Wallace ended the segment with “You don’t know. Oh boy, this is weird. You just told us that you didn’t know.”
