    Her only press conference was about 15 minutes long. It sounds like she burned up all of her allotted 15 minutes of fame in one go.

    You cannot do a whole-ass head of lettuce with this administration. Pre-chopped bags from the recall left open on the counter is the only fair fight.

    I’ve lost track, is this number four?

    This is the Trump administration. Just have an AI Super American Eagle do the press releases. He can have catchy phrases and wear a red-white-and-blue top hat. And a monocle!

    Just when I thought nobody could break The Mooch’s record, we get a new unit of measurement for White House tenure.

      What are we calling this new unit? A Zachariah? A Zack? KZ? Conversion is simple enough. 2 Zacks equal 1 Mooch.

          That’s what I was thinking too. I personally prefer a mooch being 11 days because the ratio becomes 5/11. I know it’s not 5/7 as in “a perfect 5 out of 7” but they rhyme and I like that. Also in decimal 5/10 is 0.5 while 5/11 is 0.454545454545. That’s some DaVinci Code shit.

          Edit: on second thought I would prefer if the ratio was an irrational number. Someone figure that out for me.

          I think it depends on when you consider start and stop times. Someone said Mooch hadn’t even signed a contract before being let go implying negative days. It’s just all crazy.

    As a paragraph in itself, around the middle when it started getting into the weeds of why she is gone:

    She was not a deft communicator.

    The outsized understatement is still smoking. Never change, NYT.

    As Jimmy Kimmel said: what do Pete Hegseth and Katie Zacharia have in common? Neither of them can pass the bar.

    She was so excited at that press conference, saying how happy she was to be working for Trump.

    I’m so pleased that this probably broke her heart. For the rest of her scummy life, she’ll always be remembered for being one of the most incompetent people among the the most incompetent people ever in the history of the US government.

      Not sure if she’s capable of understanding any of this if you factor in the Dunning–Kruger effect.

      Looks like he has two of those real dolls set up in there. Maybe too much teeth, though.

      Wait a minute, all those promises of sex bots being made? Is the primary audience donnie? He loves Grok, too. It would make so much sense.

        I once won tickets to see a variety show in Vegas, and it had topless women chorus line dancing between acts. If you had asked me before then whether I’d prefer a variety show with topless women or without, I’d have said, “With, please.” But that would have been wrong.

        I swear, they all had the same desperate fake smile as Katie Zacharia in that picture, and they all were pushing out their chests with their bolt-on tits as hard as they could. I remarked to my date that all of the dancers seemed extremely motivated to display the most fake parts of their bodies, as I’m guessing their teeth were all fake, too.

        It was all extremely off-putting, like they were all victims of human trafficking. I admit I couldn’t stop looking, either. It was sort of like looking at a car crash if all the victims had their fake tits out.

        On the other hand, the variety act itself was extremely entertaining.

        But anyways, based on Katie Zacharia’s smile in that picture, I can’t help but remember that very odd experience. One of the reasons I don’t like Vegas.
