A Craiglist ad mocking President Trump over reports he's having difficulty finding lawyers to represent him has gained traction on Twitter.
The ad, “Seeking lead attorney for difficult client,” was posted Tuesday by an anonymous user, who lists their contact information under the name “General John,” referring to chief of staff John Kelly.
“Seeking a lead attorney to represent client involved in an ongoing Federal investigation,” the ad reads. “Working knowledge of social media, especially Twitter is a plus, as is a better than average knowledge of the adult film industry and a collection of Playboy magazines from 1985-2010.”
The Craigslist ad includes specific wishes for applicants’ physical appearance.
“Must look the part — Gregory Peck or Tommy Lee Jones type,” the ad reads. “Prior appearances on Fox News a huge plus. No fatties.”
“Must be prepared to work with a client who is very forceful and opinionated about his defense and is his own best counsel,” it continues. “Basically your job boils down to keeping him from testifying under oath and hoping the rest comes out in the wash.”
“Prior appearances on Fox News a huge plus. No fatties.” Well that's pretty on point.
Bible clutching evangelicals will take this as an attack, when it's objectively true. Just like what Palin said, and didn't say, during the couric interview.
ReplyDeleteHAH! As of late, I can't help but think of Charlie Sheen's #winning when he was anything but.
ReplyDeleteAt least Charlie had an "excuse", drugs and he wasn't in the position to blow up the world.
DeleteCharlie loved Sex & Cocaine aka 'blow'

FB>"Trump: "I have stated my concerns with Amazon long before the Election. Unlike others, they pay little or no taxes to state & local governments, use our Postal System as their Delivery Boy (causing tremendous loss to the U.S.), and are putting many thousands of retailers out of business!"
DeleteUm, isn't the Postal Service EVERYBODY'S delivery boy?
Isn't that its entire function?
Isn't delivering the mail, the very reason for its existence?
I mean, it's right there in the name, US POSTAL SERVICE.
And last time I checked, I do pay sales tax on most every purchase made via Amazon. And Amazon itself pays corporate taxes. More, the USPS isn't run by tax dollars, it's self-funded via postal fees, and every package Amazon ships via USPS pays those fees same as everybody else. Hell, I sell hundreds of Stonekettle Station pens each month (and thank you all for buying them) and I ship via the USPS and while I offer free shipping inside the US, *I* pay the postal fees at exactly the same rate as everybody else.
If the fees the USPS charges Amazon aren't high enough, ISN'T THAT ON THE US GOVERNMENT? I.e. TRUMP HIMSELF?
Moreover, if Trump is really put out by the amount of taxes Amazon pays, why did he just champion massive Republican tax cuts to business and billionaires like Amazon's CEO, Jeff Bezos?
And then there's that last bit, "putting many thousands of retailers out of business"
So ... what is he saying here? That the GOVERNMENT should maybe manage the free market?
Because it sure sounds like it.
Uh, no cries of COMMUNISM! from conservatives? Weird.
Nothing Trump says makes any goddamned sense. At all.
Well, I mean makes no business sense. Makes no logical sense.
But, of course, this isn't about business.
And it's for goddamned sure not about the postal system. And it's not about taxes. It's not even about Amazon's actual business practices and ensuring better working conditions for its employees.
It, as it always is, is about Trump. It's about his petty, childish, vindictive need to get even, to lash out at his critics. It's about his continued and unending abuse of the office to attack Americans.
More than anything, it's about the fact that Amazon's CEO owns The Washington Post."<Jim Wright SS
