Nice to see Steve Bannon (Right) has taken well to his new role at the White House.

How about now?

Better.

Except for the composition. Having the payoff text in front of the lectern but somehow behind his stubby little hands is jarring.

So the operative point is that Trump has 25% more Vince Lombardi trophies than Obama?

Apparently the truth is that a lot of the staff on the stairs in the Obama photo were seated on the lawn in the Trump photo.

Clearly this was arranged by Soros and the Deep State.

Spicer press briefing on media lies about the size of Patriot's group in 3...2...

Watch them try to outpray each other and argue over what is a prayer and higher power.

This is so embarrassing. Trump invites Sarah Palin to the White House, who brings Ted Nugent and Kid Rock with her. They then decide to keep it classy by mocking the portrait of Hillary Clinton. https://twitter.com/jaketapper/status/8 ... 6298629121

Those boots...

Also:

Officer #1: The one with the rifle shoots!
Officer #2: One out of two gets rifle.
Officer #1: The one without, follows him! When the one with the rifle gets killed, the one who is following picks up the rifle and shoots!

P.S. I am, apparently, incapable of viewing a picture of four people walking in single file without mentally transmogrifying it into the Abbey Road album cover.

Lately NK has been doing weird stuff for the sake of foreign photographers. Just the other day, on a suspected nuclear test site, they set up volleyball games knowing that our reconnaissance satellite would capture images of them.

It looks like Kim Jong-un has discovered the internet the way his father discovered cinema, and now he's hoping to go viral.

Well, we know he's a PC gamer:

Oh I am so glad you (finally) brought that up, because I was reading your text under this picture assuming it was going to lead there!

Sad/awesome. I wonder what his handle is.

Are they mocking it?

Even if you took out the gestures and faces they're making, yes.

It must have been like the Algonquin Round Table in there.

Not only that, who cares? What a silly thing to care about.

Yeah. It's not like right-wingers lost their collective minds when Jay-Z and Common stopped by to visit President Obama.

If you want to be lumped in as acting the same as them, be my guest.

You really want to be careful about advocating the high road in R&P. It may eventually come back to bite you in the ass.

Unless you take in to account that the Ted has considered running for Michigan office in the past and the GOP is actually trying to get Kid Rock to run now. Then it becomes part of the "folksy" tea party republican culture that has been imploding my state in favor of tax breaks for the wealthy at the expense of infrastructure and subsidizing Christian studies at the expense of public education so I care a lot.

Be politically active and aware entertainers all you want. Get in bed with political machine that masks the oligarchy as a patriotism and I'll proudly and loudly see you fail.

I only care insofar as it's a smearing representation of continued degradation in the American political system. If people in the White House don't act with dignity, who will? No one goes into Buckingham Palace and takes a selfie mocking a past member of the royal family (to my knowledge).

Well, if you look closely, some of the older flatware still says "Fucke ye Plantagenets."

Well...a tweet at least. The guy's such a snowflake. I miss having someone with a backbone in the WH.
