#BYEDON 2020 - The End Better Fucking Be Near

[Kamilah Hauptmann]

Old dude approaches the White House and says to the U.S. Marine standing guard, "I'd like to go in and meet with President Trump."

Marine says, "Sir, Mr. Trump is no longer President and no longer lives here." The old man says, "Okay" and walks off.

The next day, the same old dude approached the same Marine standing guard at the White House and said, "I'd like to go in and meet with President Trump."

The Marine repeated, "Sir, as I said yesterday, Mr. Trump is no longer President and no longer resides here." The old man said thanks and walked away.

The third day, the same old dude approached the very same Marine and again said, "I'd like to go in and meet with President Trump."

The Marine said, "Sir, this is the third day in a row you've been here asking to speak to Trump. I've told you each time that he's no longer the President and no longer resides here. Don't you get it?"

Old dude says, "Oh yeah, I get it. I just like hearing it."

The Marine snapped to attention and said, “See you tomorrow, Sir."

That reminds me... 'Alexa, who is the president of the united states?' [Actually couldn't hear her if she could even hear me right now - these damn machines are so loud, but my headphones are giving me a headache too....

Don't worry, she says it's Joe Biden.

Don't worry, she says it's Joe Biden.

If I ask my Alexa about its opinion on Joe Biden, it says that it isn't programmed to have an opinion on political topics or personalities and suggests that I shouldn't allow my opinions to be influenced by artificial intelligence.

But if I ask it about Donald Trump, it says that it isn't programmed to make moral assessments.

Subtle.

Chaos of Trump's last days in office reverberates with fresh 'plot' report

Ex-president, whose Senate impeachment trial will start in two weeks, reportedly planned to oust acting attorney general in bid to overturn election

www.theguardian.com

Based in part on this

“The President Threw Us Under the Bus”: Embedding With Pentagon Leadership in Trump’s Chaotic Last Week

Throughout the final, frenzied days of the Trump administration, a reporter rode shotgun with the outgoing acting defense secretary, Christopher Miller, the man who, under the distracted eye of his commander in chief, became America’s de facto guardian.

Don't worry, she says it's Joe Biden.

But it is nice to hear it. Its almost as sweet as how he lost Georgia so many time in just one election cycle.

Sure, I quite see why it's not a good idea for people working in the White House complex to joke about killing the president even if the Secret Service don't happen to be listening, but that doesn't necessarily make it a criminal offence.

The most likely offence seems to be Threatening the President of the United States, but as the Wikipedia article suggests, it's not always that easy to determine what's protected speech and what isn't (another reason not to risk joking about it when law enforcement may overhear and not see the funny side).

I would assume, though, that applies only to the President while he's in office.

Thanks, yes, have also heard it since leaving the wh.

Calling it, google, or siri around here means multiple devices will shout over each other.

 

[Argent Stonecutter]

Me: Hey Siri OK Google

"Hi, I'm Siri, I think you've got the wrong assistant."

Siri used to be a lot snarkier about that.

Me: OK Google Hey Siri

"I guess my Siri impression is working when I'm not even trying. I can also do an impression of a toaster. (fx) *chunk chunk tick tick BING*"

That's more like it.

Me: Alexa Hey Siri.

Alexa: That's not a name I can respond to.

Me: Meh.

The National Review, one seriously commie rag...

Goodbye to Donald J. Trump, the man who wanted to be Conrad Hilton but turned out to be Paris Hilton.

Wonderful writing on that one. Not long, not in-depth or analytical, but truly the art of the burn.

Maybe someone can rent that Baby Trump balloon and fly it near his house.

The GOP must definitely fear this:

I think it's all a gambit to threaten the GOP to refuse to convict him. What they don't understand is that if they refuse to convict him, their worst nightmare IS going to come true.
