In Trump's shambolic White House, staffers who can't find the light-switches literally hold meetings in the dark

Your statement sent me down a bit of a rabbit hole. Rosalynn Carter was who created the Office of the First Lady.

Though others like Elanor Roosevelt had been expanding its scope before then.

Pranks by the outgoing staff are a White House tradition. Obama’s people turned all the switches upside down.

Apparently Sean Spicer claimed that Trump definitely doesn’t wear a bathrobe this afternoon?

(despite unpleasant photographic evidence to the contrary)

Is Colonel Sanders available? That’s basically all Trump needs in a chef.

Don´t.
Don´t waste your pity on the orange bastard. Pity those who were and will be harmed by his fascist policies. He is sad and depressed? The hate of the general public gets to him? Good. He deserves worse.

Maybe you meant to write “humanly”, but “humanely” works.

Well it would be inhumane to put Melania more than 12,450 miles away from Donald (circumference-wise) unless she can survive in the cold vacuum of space.

All operated by a remote control? Maybe Obama packed the remote.

The WH probably also has a complicated phone system, which could explain why DT uses his cell.

So there’s a reason why public figures sometimes have to resort to using their own cell phones?

I guess it’s safe to admit that, now.

Hopefully neither Trump nor Bannon won’t be able to find the nuclear codes in case they feel the need to start a war with China.

I thought Ivanka was supposed to be handling that? After all, Melania chooses to stay in NYC, while Ivanka takes her place.

He also strongly identifies with Citizen Kane. Like, when he threatened Hillary with a special prosecutor during the debate—that’s straight from the film. I’m sure he’s living a life of quiet despair and you could pity him, but for all the lives he’s ruining.

Honestly, it’s not Donald Trump I dislike as much as the people who are feeding him.

She says no. But then, what else could she say? “Yes, I’m going to take over many of the duties that would traditionally be delegated to the President’s wife and this is not at all creepy even though many of his past statements have revealed a perverse sexual obsession with me, his own daughter?”

Federal government buildings triply so.

To be fair, it’s not unprecedented for another female relative to take on the job of First Lady. But usually that’s when the President is unmarried, a widower, or has a spouse who is ill. It hasn’t happened in about 100 years.

Dude, that’s like askin’ the square root of a million… the world will never know.

I think the “if I wasn’t married I’d probably be dating her” line is an unprecedented admission for a sitting President to say about his own daughter though.

Also true about all this working with the lights off:

Goblins, orcs, most trolls, and all barrow wights have infravision.
