Link Me Up, Scotty - We Don't Need Your Business Edition

Friday, June 30, 2017

You know how sometimes firing a customer is just the right thing to do because they're just too damn much trouble? Well, Mika and Joe of Morning Joe have asked 45 to stop being their customer, because it's obvious to them that the President is mentally incapable of watching their show without risking a stroke or an aneurysm. I snorted my way through this opinion piece, while simultaneously becoming more and more sad. How fucked up is our president when what is essentially a morning talk show marginalizes the leader of the free world simply by shaking their heads pitifully and pointing out his juvenile behavior? Pretty fucked up, IMO.

I read a headline about Boaty McBOatface and started cackling and then couldn't explain to Michael what was so funny.

Which made it even funnier.
