      Not worth the joke, dude. She’s evil as fuck and she aggressively blamed and mocked murder victims for their deaths. This isn’t a thing to add lightness to.

          Beyond it being in poor taste as mentioned, it is just an objectively stupid, boring joke… Big bang theory levels of wit and polish.

    Leavitt became the youngest White House press secretary in history when she assumed the position last year at 27 years old.

    She is only 28‽

        Well, she was special enough to get paid. And Trump’s power is running low. Iran has fucked him right good, and Epstein is still there slowly simmering, just waiting for more horrible documents to go public. If you wanna bail from his ship, no time like the present.

      History is so full of so so so many people like him with devoted followers. We really love our cults of personality. I think people make up their minds that “this person will not ever fail”, they attach themselves and never let go. It takes being left on a plane to possibly be die and not even be warned to have the trance broken.

    to be fair, trump thinks the rest of the world is disposable, as long as he can feel powerful by, I dont now, doing stuff with children or forcing a government to stop pursuing him for tax fraud. he is the lowest of the low.

    Who cares about this stupid bitch who lacks the decency to even be honest about why she’s leaving? Focus on the real, human stories. Americans are dying preventable deaths of despair at an accelerating rate. 10% of the men in my graduating class are dead. These are Great Depression 2.0 numbers

      Look at some Netanyahu interviews. He is truly amazing at making something as insane as genocide, wars and so forth sound reasonable. Leavitt says basically MAGA stuff. The only real difference is that she has that suburban mum sort of vibe and does say all that stuff while smiling. However she still insults reporters very openly, but not as often as some others.

    If this is true then at least she has some self perseveration instinct. unlike the rest of the shitbirds that got on that plane.

    Okay guy, I’m gonna hide in this box in a safe plane. You guys please take my danger flight. If you survive we’ll see you tomorrow!

    And the pilots flew knowing nothing of the risk I assume?

      IIRC, they’re all military pilots, so they should have realized that they were putting their lives on the line when they signed up.

        I bet it would still be disconcerting to be flying an under-equipped flying bribe, however. A major reason why these security risks exist is because the Qatari 747 lacks important missile detection measures, missile defense measures, EMP hardening, and the secure communications equipment required for exchanging information with the US military.

        These deficiencies exist at the behest of Trump. Naturally, the threats he invited by warring against Iran and the safety and security deficiencies he initially brushed past when he rushed the Qatari jet retrofit are now thrust upon others.

        It’s a classic Trump moment.
