Hope Hicks is out.

The White House is issuing statements thanking her for her work.



A good point by commentator Taegan Goddard (Political Wire) "Seriously… Once a White House communications director admits to lying for her boss, the only option is to resign"

And here I wanted to make the joke
WH: 'All Hope is gone'

[PaulBullion]

Hasn't the White House been hopeless for a while, now, though?

[WestPhillyPunisher]

Let's see... arming underpaid people in a high stress, high responsibility job who deal with children and teenagers all day long.

What could go wrong?

The expression "going postal" might get replaced by "going scholastic."

And that’s dealing with normal, well adjusted kids. What about having to struggle with jerks, dirtbags, badasses and delinquents, some of whom would punch a teacher in face for shits and giggles? Suddenly, teachers might have to draw down on vermin INSIDE school instead from outside. And let’s not forget teachers who bring problems from home into school and how that level of stress could result in a bad decision that might lead to gunfire. Once again, arming teachers is a fucking BAD idea!

Is Toomey afraid?:

Yeah, Toomey is a gutless fucking coward. Pat, the third most popular groundhog in Pennsylvania (after Punxsutawney Phil, the weather predicting rodent and Gus, a creepy animatronic critter from state Lottery commercials) hasn’t held so much as one public meeting since winning election in November 2016 and never meets with constituents in his Philadelphia office because he doesn’t want to face angry voters because of his lapdog stance when it comes to Trump, not to mention his having had a hand in the crafting of the Republican Tax Scam Bill. While I hate to agree with anything Dolt45 says, he’s right here, Toomey IS scared of the NRA.

Gym class in Florida will now consist of Assaulting and taking the point.

Grenade tossing.

Sniper training.

Hand to hand combat.

Snacking on doughnuts.

It's not a "sham degree."

It's a way for a panel of academics to honor people they feel deserve it. And maybe get some publicity and donations in return.

Clearly they feel Trump does no longer deserve it.

Yeah...

Let's ignore that "Academics" gave the bonehead in question anything like even an honorary degree, and try not to discuss that they were likely fishing for publicity and donations when it was awarded.

Making it about Trump makes way more sense.

[numberthirty]

Trump transferred from Fordham to Wharton as an undergraduate. He has one degree, which he likes to pretend is from Wharton's graduate program.

Maybe he should focus on getting a graduate degree before we even consider honorary doctorates.

Ditto.

so with Hicks that is 16 departures from the administration?

Wal-Mart is raising their minimum purchase age on firearms to 21

[InformationGeek]

President Trump: "I like taking the guns early ... Take the guns first, go through due process second."

Now there is a quote to remember!

[Kirby101]

President Trump: "I like taking the guns early ... Take the guns first, go through due process second."

Now there is a quote to remember!

Imagine if Obama would have said such a thing?

I am sure the Trumpsters will now do a 180 and approve of gun confiscation.

And here I wanted to make the joke
WH: 'All Hope is gone'

There are funnier jokes to make about her name, especially if you include her last name, too.

[Kal-El Summers]

Noted shitstain has an idea so horrible that even idiotic assbag Geraldo Rivera openly hated it.

[BeastieRunner]

LOL! No buddy ... try 18.

[BeastieRunner]

Mark your calendars, folks! September 17 is the trial of Paul Manafort.
