    Isn’t it amazing that the people advocating for a “STricT mERITocrACY” conspicuously ignore their meritocracy is very monochromatic?

      Are you denying she’s horrible at her job? She’s quite possibly the worst-spoken press secretary ever.

        I too would think that, had I just woken up from a coma and not known about the four press secretaries under Trump.

        Edit: oh wait, the felonious traitor had five:

        The Mooch, Spicer, Sarah “FuckTheCountry” Sanders, Stephanie “Never gave one press conference” Grisham and Kayleigh “My cross necklace proves how KKKhristian I am” McEnany.

          The mooch was just perfect casting. He’s the guy you expect a person like trump to have as a spokesperson.

          Too bad he lasted less than Liz truss.

            The Mooch was easily my fav press secretary from that shit show.

            FYI , if you haven’t seen it yet, he’s one of the whales on “Killer Whales”, that crypto Shark Tank knock off. The show is wild, everyone talking shit about the products, but still saying they’d support it. And the prize isn’t actually any sort of money for the schemes, just a mentorship with the whales. It’s absolutely great to watch with a bag of popcorn.
