One of these days, the pearls are going to run away from her, screaming in horror. She’s always pulling them out to use when she has one of her overly theatrical press conferences about this or that. Today, it’s the “rude” behavior of some protestors in Washington, DC. Dearie, that’s called the First Amendment – the right to free speech. She doesn’t have to *like* it. But we could guess that she’s fine with it anywhere in the US as long as it’s not DC or where she lives. With gratitude to The Daily Beast via, and also, Raw Story:
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt was roundly criticized on Thursday for her pearl-clutching moment in front of the press during the daily briefing. Leavitt complained that some protesters had flipped off Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents and that they had written profane language on broken-down federal vehicles. Her comments come after cameras captured President Donald Trump flipping off a worker who called him a “pedophile protector” during a recent tour of the Ford Motor plant in Detroit. That worker was later fired from his job. A GoFundMe was started for him and raised more than $800,000, according to reports.
(Sir, was it worth it?) Well, now, surprise, surprise, Trump knows that gesture. Be still, my beating heart! … Well, okay, not really, but it seemed appropriate next to KKKaroline’s pearls. Seems she’s always having histrionics about something in regard to Trump. Other people have been able to do just fine for a press conference before she came along, and I expect they would be able to after she’s gone. She should reach out to Jen Psaki for lessons. And hmmmm, who are they going to put in when she goes into labor, and after, when she has a newborn to take care of?? Trump could get someone really good, or really bad. This could be fun!
“Look at this vehicle. It says ‘F ICE,’” Leavitt said, pointing to a photograph. “You have these individuals who are putting their middle finger proudly so at the camera.” Leavitt’s comments were roundly mocked online, The Daily Beast reported. //// “Save us the outrage, sweetie,” The Lincoln Project, an anti-Trump Republican group, wrote to Leavitt on X. //// “Wait until she learns about the 1st Amendment …” California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office posted on X. //// “Didn’t Donald Trump give his middle finger to a UAW union worker 48 hours ago,” Democratic political strategist Adam Parkhomenko posted on X.
“It says F ICE” ahahaha! Well, everyone was thinking that anyhow, so what’s the big deal? Does she have trouble with the word f***? She would be exposed to much worse under the current administration. People are almost rabid in their descriptions of these yahoos. They suck at their jobs. Nepotism of this variation was Not. A. Good. Idea. Look at who we were discussing, after all. We can be sure she’ll be outraged at something very soon, and we can make rude comments again. Worth it.
Friends, I know everyone begs you for money. I promise, among all those asking for spare change, we are the smallest and the hardest working. We’re a group of old, disabled people, except for one writer in his mid-50s. The rest of us are in our sixties and seventies, and this is a labor of love. All we’re asking for is the chance to keep telling the truth about Trump and help ensure democracy survives. If you can help, please do. Thank you. Ursula
