Just a pathetic little man raging impotently from behind a teeny tiny desk

by Therese Odell, posted in Uncategorized

It’s the Friday after Thanksgiving, which I’m sure you already know as you are most certainly lying on your couch eating leftovers and watching football. I’m not judging.

Political Crap

Welp, President Lame Duck took questions from reporters yesterday, the first time since Election Day, and it did not … it did not go well. First of all, the occasion was following a Thanksgiving video conference with members of the military in Bahrain and Kuwait where it was 1 a.m. WAKE UP I WANT TO THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE.

And then during question time, he mostly whined about the election and made false claims of fraud but did say that if the electoral college casts its votes for Biden on December 14, he would leave the White House — AS IF HE HAS A GODDAMNED CHOICE.

Also, during one of his conspiracy-filled rambles, a Reuters reporter pressed President ToddlerKing if he would concede — you know, a fair question for a President who has resoundingly lost but has as of this point three and a half weeks after the election refused to actually concede, and this happened:

Then he left in a snit.

And it should be noted that this entire press conference was not held in the Oval Office or the White House Press Briefing Room, but in the Diplomatic Room behind the world’s tiniest desk. Why? No fucking idea, but someone needs to go look in the Oval Office and make certain the Resolute Desk hasn’t been shipped off to Mar-a-Lago.

I mean, this is a man who has a wife, five children, a bajillion grandchildren all of whom he could have been enjoying Thanksgiving with — or, like a real President, he could have been with our troops overseas, or working at a soup kitchen. Instead, he chose to spend the day golfing and then screaming lies at reporters behind the smallest desk they could find in the White House. Simply amazing.

BUT THEN, #DiaperDon began trending on Twitter because 1. President Crybaby was acting like well …  a crybaby and 2. It also might have been meant literally:

But in any event, the fact that #DiaperDon was trending just infuriated an already furious Trump even more:

LOL, NAH.

So, I think this is a great idea:

In fact, I’d buy the whole collection: President Screamy yelling at Lawnmower Kid; President Hamburlger shows off the White House fast food pile;

 

President Never Wrong with his Sharpie-altered hurricane map; Four Seasons Total Landscaping; I Don’t Really Care, Do U?; President Two Corinthians holds a Bible upside down after clearing away peaceful protestors with tear gas; Nancy Pelosi yells at President Three-Year-Old;

 

Angela Merkel yells at President Petulant; Melania swats President Pitiful’s hand away (take your pick of which occasion); and who can forget President Slob has toilet paper stuck to his shoe as he boards Air Force One.

Anyway, President So Much Losing’s team just lost their case in the Third Circuit Court of Appeals, so they’ll make their last stand (it will absolutely not be their last stand — they’ll be doing this shit until December 14 rolls around, just watch) at the Supreme Court. And then Joe Biden will be sworn into office and all this insanity will be over. So enjoy it –“enjoy” it — while you still can.

More than 90,000 Americans were in the hospital with COVID yesterday. Over 1,300 Americans died, bringing the total number of dead Americans to over 269,000. We will surpass 270,000 sometime today. We’ve already exceeded 13 million infections and our hospitals are becoming overwhelmed. And Thanksgiving Eve was the busiest day in the airports since the pandemic began. The next three weeks will be rough.

Also, there are zombie minks in Denmark.

Jake Paul is a fucking moron who needs to be ignored and/or shamed. WHY IS HE A THING AGAIN?

Dr. Fauci discussed trying to get over vaccine skepticism within the Black community with Byron Allen. It’s an interesting dilemma that obviously isn’t limited to the Black community — see above — but will definitely be an obstacle for all of us to try to overcome in the coming months.

Disney is going to fire 32,000 employees at the beginning of the year, mostly from their parks division. 

E! rates how television shows have addressed the COVID crisis on a 10 point scale.

The Ravens-Steelers game had to be moved from Thanksgiving to Monday because TEN (10!) Ravens players have tested positive.

A post shared by Courteney Cox (@courteneycoxofficial)


The preview of Matthew Morrison’s Grinch during the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade has FREAKED PEOPLE OUT.

Also, here’s just a very good rant about how bad the Jim Carrey, How The Grinch Stole Christmas, is as a movie.

The Mandalorian revealed Baby Yoda’s name and people are more upset about it than they are about Matthew Morrison as the Grinch. Spoilers, obviously.

No, the Spanish version of the Supernatural episode in which Castiel SPOILER ALERT! dies, does not have Dean professing his love for the angel. Sorry to burst your Destiel bubbles all over again.

Apparently, Emilia Clarke just fully improvised a Game of Thrones scene entirely in Valyrian at a moment’s notice. My nerd queen.

Here’s what you missed from the 90210 reunion. I had forgotten that Meghan Markle appeared in the first episode in an … interesting role.

Speaking of reunions: Crossing Jordan is hosting the reunion no one asked for.

🥺

Houston’s own Mattress Mac’s dog was a winner at the National Dog Show yesterday. And Chester is awesome/hilarious.

Love is, really for real this time, now it’s legal, dead.
