The only sort of Life Guidance I have given any intern was “don’t expose yourself as someone who is willing to work late on a Friday night, because even though I won’t take advantage of that, someone will.” But maybe I need to add, “reply appropriately” to my advice tidbits.

Soon after Leavitt started as Tump's press secertary, I wrote this piece for my Stop the Presses newsletter. It's a lot more truth-telling than today's fawning New York Times story.

Karoline Leavitt is a professional liar

Trump’s press secretary is paid by the taxpayers to hoodwink the taxpayers.

stopthepresses.news

The NY Times uses words like “fierce,” “steely,” “nimble” and “homegrown star of the Trump White House” to describe Karoline Leavitt, who just got a Fox News gig. Not a single mention of her relentless lying to the American public. Reporter Michael M. Grynbaum and his editors suck.

LMFAO. How long before his teeth start falling out or his jaw falls off. BTW. Don’t drink radioactive water no matter what this smooth brain says.

How is it not news when the president nods off in public meetings and press conferences dozens of times? If you follow independent media, you see it and know about it. But why hasn’t CBS, NBC or ABC showed a montage of it on their evening news? They simply refuse to ever show it.

Rick Scott: "I don't like high gas prices, but I don't want to be killed by a nuclear weapon"

just found out this week how many additional, smaller bolsonaros they’ve got down there. bad news.

At one point, one of their radios started crackling and I told him he should probably turn it off. He walked away very quickly but the other two kept stalking me, Ben, and my staffers. They also kept asking other people about The Plan lmao. (2/4)

Fun fact: When I went to speak at Broadview while I was still under federal indictment, 3 VERY obvious Feds kept following me, trying to copy these people. They had riot shields that said “WE PROTECT US” and asked me conspiratorially if I “knew about the plan” which was totally real. Bro. (1/4)

The first time Michael Goessling spoke to his biological father, he asked what he did for a living. Musician, he said. In fact, he was on tour and was coming to St. Louis. “And I’m looking, and the voice, and it all starts coming together,” Goessling said. “Are you Michael McDonald?”
