US Politics, May 2020 — I will never lie to you. You have my word on that.

America is basically the worst Escape Room now.

please, oh please oh please oh please let stephen miller die

xp lol Cow_Art, we must follow the same people on twitter :)

alright, just a little further

As much as I want every single one of these shit-bags to suffer from the Coronavirus, I keep thinking about Trump going to the mask factory without a mask. What if a fucking mask factory has to shut down because our asshole president brought it there.

My head hurts at the stupidity of everything. Last night I did my yearly "Should I move to Canada?" googling.

America is basically the worst Escape Room now.

every room is an escape room

and the only escape is to another room

which is also an escape room

whoa

that was super lame of Kimmell. He's usually above that crap.

eh can't really fault him for people editing his stuff out of context and passing it off as real

that said the joke is dumb precisely because it's exactly the sort of thing this administration actually does

exactly, a whole lot of story truth going on in that 'joke'

axe throwing bars and escape rooms are all the rage

"escape the axe" would be a great thrash metal song title

The pandemic is an escape room that the US government is trying to smash their way out of with an axe.

Katie Miller (@VPPressSec), seen here chitchatting with members of the press yesterday(!), tested positive today for COVID.

Oh. She's the one without the mask. Right there on the right. pic.twitter.com/Mmbl3Zs1x4

Sorry to be the one to say this, but looks like she lied.

"White House spokesperson Kayleigh McEnany said Friday that the documents had not been approved by CDC Director Dr. Robert Redfield. The new emails, however, show that Redfield cleared the guidance."

Dr. Anthony Fauci now going into “modified quarantine” after being in close proximity with the White House staffer who was positive, @jaketapper reports. Fauci joins CDC’s Dr. Robert Redfield and FDA’s Dr. Stephen Hahn who are also in quarantine as a result.

"Modified quarantine" = "oh, well, we hate your guts anyway, get out."

people were really clamoring for haircuts from the woman responsible for this. huh

.@SenTedCruz got his first haircut in months today at the Far North Dallas hair salon of Shelley Luther, the owner who defied local and court orders to keep business closed during COVID-19 outbreak. https://t.co/v72J2CYDfY pic.twitter.com/iq66jv9qjG

bravo to anyone who can hold a sharp instrument and stand over Ted Cruz in a prone position without succumbing to the most natural instinct

is that why the haircut is so bad

They had to keep each hair six feet apart

Good morning!

look at this hardman in north carolina who needs to bring a giant wooden gun on his meatball footlong run

meanwhile, black men get shot and killed by the police for carrying cell phones that get mistaken for a gun.

"mistaken"

so, #obamagate is a thing that we're going to have to hear about for a while. possibly a long while.

don't think it's a scandal? that's because you read the fake news, and that means you aid and abet the enemy of the people.

stupid white people are the kindling that's set America on fire

Wish they themselves were on fire

The problem with Obamagate is that it's impossible to explain to anyone who doesn't have brain worms. If the DOJ attempts any kind of real action, I would expect it to blow up in their faces very quickly.

wtf is obamagate?

It's a bullshit attempt to paint the Obama administration as the real criminals based on ???

Because it was OBAMAGATE, and he and Sleepy Joe led the charge. The most corrupt administration in U.S. history! https://t.co/PTzFvvITh3

— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) May 11, 2020

wasn't just obama! was also biden! leading the charge!!!

sleepily

definitely what the american people need right now

while talking to my mom last night she mentioned how she initially fantasized shooting DT, which then evolved into him just having a massive stroke so as to prolong his misery That's my mama!

he's also tweeted OBAMAGATE about 30 times today and yesterday

christ what an asshole

And he hasn't even gotten around to the "leaked" audio of Obama calling his (Trump's) COVID-19 response a disaster, or whatever phrase he used. I guess that'll be next week's fixation.

I'm pretty sure that's exactly why he's doing it now

At this point I'm less pissed about Trump making this shit up than I am the legions of maga-idiots that will not stop talking about it and the media that will start reporting on it as if it's actually a thing. Predictable and obnoxious.

yeah I'm already seeing the "Trump accuses Obama of biggest scandal in political history" headline in a few places, either these idiots never fucking learn or they're all in the tank for him

it's just unacceptable that this is the president

What are the odds that the Coronavirus task force was dissolved ahead of the media learning that there was an outbreak in the WH?

christ what an asshole
