“Never believe that anti-Semites are completely unaware of the absurdity of their replies. They know that their remarks are frivolous, open to challenge. But they are amusing themselves, for it is their adversary who is obliged to use words responsibly, since he believes in words. The anti-Semites have the right to play. They even like to play with discourse for, by giving ridiculous reasons, they discredit the seriousness of their interlocutors. They delight in acting in bad faith, since they seek not to persuade by sound argument but to intimidate and disconcert. If you press them too closely, they will abruptly fall silent, loftily indicating by some phrase that the time for argument is past.” ― Jean-Paul Sartre

Their mother should sue for defamation. Explain why they accused said mother of conducting foreign relations without the permission of the government.
This unironically could work lol. Let them start getting payouts
Falsely accusing someone of a crime is defamation per se, which means that they don't have to provide proof of reputational harm. This would be a fun lawsuit to bring.
There's definitely reputation harm to be done if you are suddenly associated with Nazis AND Putin
This is so puerile I don’t even know what to say. Satire is well and truly dead.
It is the same childishly arrogant postering as Musk having Twitter reply with a poop emoji.
Extra rich coming from a woman whose husband is old enough to be her dad
Satire for this administration would be to depict them as competent and able to govern.
Isn't it cute how the leaders of the US respond like 12 year olds?
12 year-olds from 1997.
"And here you can see the serious professionality of the White House press office."
I regret to inform you that this is not a meme.
Your mom's a meme /s
I'm sure she's a lovely lady if her child made an account on lemmy instead of the typical corporate websites.
Maybe we can make Lemmy a place where mom jokes are always wholesome (like your mom)
Yo mama... would be proud of the kindness you're spreading
You know what else your mom spreads?
Jam on guests' toast in the morning, because she's a thoughtful and welcoming host.
Please let this become a thing we have here. This is awesome.
Your mom is awesome!
Am I doing it right?
Your mom is doing it right.
I appreciate your kind regards, but she is not.
It's astounding major media keeps treating this administraiton as ANY sort of normal.
If I was running a newsroom, these people would be on fire every goddamned day.
It's not astounding at all if you consider who these media belong to.
Yeah. Still, the people who do the actual work . . .
... are continuously terrified of losing their jobs at a moments notice.
Yeah. It’s shameful fifty different ways.
I do not want to live on this planet anymore.
I'm convinced now: everyone is 12.
Reporters should just start stooping to their level and giving it right back.
“My moms dead you ghoulish bitch, now do you want to answer the question?”
That's not stooping to their level. That's the kind of thing a crying middle schooler would say, where in their head they think it sounds like a clever retort, but it just comes off as pathetic.
Plot twist, it was actually Mrs.Huffpost
Must be true since they answered consistently.
