The White House’s Jen Psaki will be calmly eviscerating right-wing idiots on MSNBC soon

Jen Psaki will soon be verbally bitch slapping Pete Doocy over on MSNBC instead of in the White House Press Briefing Room. She will host a show on MSNBC and Peacock sometime in May. Contrary to some rumors, she will not be taking Rachel Maddow’s spot. There’s room enough on the network for both badasses. That said, I do hope Psaki has trained someone in the White House on the fine art of destroying dumb and cynically disingenuous talking points while remaining completely composed.

Conservatives are literally all making the same “joke”:

BREAKING: Jen Psaki is leaving the White House to work for MSNBC.

So basically, she will still be working for Joe Biden.

I hear Jen Psaki is taking a job with MSNBC.

At least she'll still be working for the White House.

The biggest new series in the country right now is … Our Flag Means Death? Well, that’s a surprise. I mean, don’t get me wrong: I thought it was charming. I’m just a little shocked as there’s so much less buzz around it than the thirty different series about tech grifters right now. But good! Good for Our Flag Means Death!

That Grey’s Anatomy writer/producer who ALLEGEDLY lied about her medical history is “taking personal leave” from the show. O? WHY?

Last night’s Young Sheldon was the series’ 100th episode and Chuck Lorre’s 700th vanity card.

Sarma Melngailis is still out here complaining about Bad Vegan. Lady, I watched it, and I really wouldn’t be complaining if I were you.

Now Will Packer, the producer of The Oscars, is claiming that Will Smith wasn’t removed from the show because Chris Rock didn’t want him to be, but Chris Rock’s people are saying he was never asked. AS IF ALL THIS WASN’T MESSY ENOUGH.

1. Julia Fox, that model/actress that Kanye was palling around with there for a while, she and The Real Housewives of New York‘s Leah McSweeney are friends after McSweeney was her AA sponsor? I’m not sure that Leah McSweeney should be anyone’s sponsor, but sure.

2. Julia Fox has not been in talks with RHONY producers about joining the show, and I’m sure she had nothing to do with the rumors swirling around out there that she has been.

3. And while we’re on the conversation of RHONY casting, Leah McSweeney has not been asked back. Yet.

The Florida GOP is threatening to go to war with Disney because Disney has said mean things about their terrible “Don’t Say Gay” bill. OK. Do it. See how much that helps Florida.
