White House Communications Director Steven Cheung sounded off on Ocasio-Cortez in a statement to the Daily Beast.

“AOC likes to play pretend like she’s from the block, but in reality she’s just a sad, miserable blockhead who is trying to overcompensate for her lack of self-confidence that has followed her for her entire life,” he said. “Instead, she should get some serious help for her obvious and severe case of Trump Derangement Syndrome that has rotted her pea-sized brain.”

the fact that the White House Communications Director has communication skills on par with a snotty middle schooler is really quite funny. I mean, they all do, but that the communications director sounds like this, you’d think it was an Onion article.

I can’t believe we’ve done this, either.

I am absolutely positive that this is a direct result of Elon Musk’s little bitch-fit earlier. He tried playing a card he didn’t hold in his hands. He assumed he did, and then when his bitch-fit didn’t get him anywhere the administration quietly decided to torch any and all evidence and just pretend it never happened. He played a card that Trump didn’t want him to play, and so they took it straight out of his deck in the most blatant-to-anyone-with-two-brain-cells manner possible.

I thought, before this, that there was a slim possibility – however slim – that Trump merely associated with a child rapist, and Elon was simply pulling a(n admittedly half decent) plausible “gotcha” out of his ass. Now I know with certainty that Trump is a child rapist.

[with visibly bloodshot eyes] “Nah, man, I disagree with your definition there.”

like I know it’s a science meme but both the stoner and the linguistics guy inside me go “but wait, there’s more…”

Pedophiles lives. Pedophiles lives will be destroyed. Or people happy to associate and socialize with pedophiles.

Truth told? I’m not gonna lose a wink of sleep over their lives being destroyed.

while I appreciate your effort, I do in fact remember a time when I was more naive and positive (~5+ years ago), and I also remember people being just as awful to me and to each other at that time, too; the only real difference being that I was frequently awful right back – I just haven’t got the energy for that anymore. If your point is that my attitude colors or affects my reality, that doesn’t really hold water for me. the world around me hasn’t changed that drastically in that time (if anything it’s gotten slightly worse), I’ve just become more perceptive of it. And while sticking my head in the sand and pretending the world is a fine place full of fine people does sound like a wonderful delusion to entertain, it is just that. A delusion. While there are certainly some fine people in it, the vast majority of people are anywhere from unaware or indifferent, to actively making the world a worse place.

if the vast majority of your interactions with other people are neutral or positive, absent of transaction or cruelty, I’m very happy for you. genuinely. Unfortunately your personal experience, however, doesn’t invalidate mine; nor does it invalidate the mountains of human awfulness throughout history and up into the present day that I could list off to prove my point – keyword being ‘could’, here, as I’m not very interested in arguing, or in pissing on the parade you’re apparently having. If nobody’s pissed on yours, yet, why would I want to be the one to do so? so go, be happy, dismiss what I say as “cynical doomer shit” while you still have that fleeting luxury.

wait til you figure out that all of human history is one giant cycle of people being incredibly cruel to other people for incredibly tenuous reasons and realize this cycle will, presumably, never end; and thus every interaction you have with other people is if not driven by transaction (what can you do for them), likely to be driven by cruelty.

sweet dreams, it doesn’t get better.

that’s when you send the new offer of a whopping $21.37 and add “I’ll even throw in half a jimmy johns sammich if you accept in the next 30 minutes”

God is dead and we killed him

Ah, that’s what that feeling was – here I thought it was seething rage building up inside me, now I know that was simply my affinity for dick leaving my body.

meanwhile, my family: “just don’t be gay for the next 3 and a half years, we don’t need to leave”

… Right, I’m sure they definitely leave office as scheduled and I’m sure with how quickly things are progressing I’ll still be around to see them do so. Yep. Definitely. 👍

Oh there wasn’t any doubt on my part that he knew about it – terrible people, especially terrible wealthy and powerful people, hang out together all the time – just that he may or may not have “participated”. Now I’m quite certain.

You know, when Elon said Trump was on the list, I figured there was about an 85-90% chance that was true. Like, given all the photos of Trump and Epstein together, I found it a very plausible claim, but I was also quite aware that Elon is a ketamine addicted narcissist and pathological bullshitter, so I figured there was at least some chance he was pulling it out of his ass just to fuck with Trump.

Now, however, I am 100% certain that not only does that list exist/existed, but also that Trump is/was on it. Unfortunately, chances are good we’ll now never have proof. I’d not be surprised if the past few weeks have been them burning and shredding every trace of evidence in somewhat of a panic after Elon tried playing that card, just to take it out of his deck.

Ah, what a marvelous idea, we should look to the present!

[reads the news]

… Hm. I think I may have noticed a problem with this theory.

This is gonna be our white and gold/black and blue dress, huh?

Ah yes, the Ohio of Babel.

I like how even Ohio wants nothing to do with Florida.

Mexico? Could be Ohio, someday.

Florida? … Nah, we’re good.

also, missed opportunity to call our favorite vacation state Ohawaiio.

What’s this? A charming French town woefully underpopulated by bees?

A large influx of bees ought to put a stop to that!

a policeman? racist? why, I’m shocked, I tell you, just shocked.
