1. I think (hope) there is a mole in the White House...

they couldn't possibly be that stupid IRL, could they?

[underpants]

6. It all comes from the top

[yardwork]

14. They're this stupid so it could be either.

[Duppers]

21. My thought too.

It's too funny. Someone was willing to risk their job.


How long will it take to get tRump out the door?

[saidsimplesimon]

27. I hope there is a mole, but I'm going with stupid.

[SergeStorms]

46. 'Stupid' is where the smart money is being wagered.

Inside mole.....not unless they're admitting to themselves that everything is totally out of control and there is every reason to worry. I don't think anyone working in the White House is that intelligent.

[Disaffected]

52. "I'm With Stupid"

[pangaia]

37. Of course they are that stupid...

Just for starters--


Mike Pence
Wilbur Ross
Ben Carson
Elaine Chao
Betsy De Vos
Ben Carson
Steven Mnuchin
Mike Pompeo
Sonny Perdue
Ben Carson
Ben Carson
Rick Perry
Mike Mulvaney
Ben Carson

[BBG]

39. Way too many Ben Carsons

Hell, way too many of all of them there folks.

[Laura PourMeADrink]

56. Lol

[IronLionZion]

43. Trump only hires the best people

[MontanaMama]

48. Is Ben Carson there twice

because he brings an extra helping of stupid with him? I'm seriously laughing out loud at that.


ETA: Please don't change it!! It's hilarious. You could list Betsy Devos at least a couple times for the same reason...

[pangaia]

53. Dr Ben is there 5 times !!

[MontanaMama]

62. Holy crap. You're right!!!

You made my whole day.

[Disaffected]

55. I count five times

Which is even more appropriate.

But, the dumbest one of all is conspicuously missing.

[skypilot]

59. Don't forget Rudy Guiliani and...

...Ben Carson.

[Dem2theMax]

63. You have to include something to help people wipe off their screens,

when you write something that funny.

[rocktivity]

64. Either a mole or a patriot

rocktivity

[Wounded Bear]

66. In this case, I'd say they're the same...

[empedocles]

2. Interesting

[MissB]

3. Oops

[dem4decades]

4. What a bunch of dopes.

54. Real Geniuses, That Crew....

Trump team baffled by White House light switches

The people who want to build a wall between the United States and Mexico can't figure out how to turn on the lights at the White House, according to the New York Times.

"Aides confer in the dark because they cannot figure out how to operate the light switches in the cabinet room," the Times reported Sunday. "Visitors conclude their meetings and then wander around, testing doorknobs until finding one that leads to an exit."...

[Wellstone ruled]

5. So this was plan A

sent something over to the House Leadership and then retract it saying it was not the real thing.

[Newest Reality]

7. It seems to me that...

If the talking points I just read are what we are referring to, then the use of the word myths is a tactic designed for believers and the base. It was not applicable at all and I think that is problematic in itself.

That knee-jerk and idiotic wording they used should be embarrassing. Rush and hurry?

The allegations we are talking about here have a factual basis.

[Maven]

8. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

This is my favorite story of the day, so far.

[yardwork]

15. Me too.

[htuttle]

9. Undo! Undo!

[lunatica]

67. Or Apple+Z

Delete!

[Brother Buzz]

10. "There's an old saying in Tennessee--I know it's in Texas, probably in Tennessee--that says.....

"You can't put toothpaste back into the tube."

[pangaia]

28. In New York we say, " You can't put shit back up your ass."

[rocktivity]

65. Nor can you un-ring a bell (n/t)

[Thyla]

11. So I just re-attach the pdf to the e-mail and hit reply?

Job done.

51. Trump's People Tried To Destroy The Electronic Records...

...but they ran out of paper to print everything and the shredders kept overheating and jamming....

[riversedge]

12. Dems: sure will [right after I save to my files and photocopy it-several times]

[Gothmog]

13. WH accidentally emailed talking points to House Dems

Link to tweet

[NurseJackie]

57. How DELICIOUS it is that Jim Acosta is the one tweeting about it!!!

[asiliveandbreathe]

16. You just can't make this shit up..on the thread someone

included Bill Murray stepping on a rake..getting hit on the head..LOL belly laugh...

[Fritz Walter]

30. They're the gang that couldn't shit straight!

Actually encouraging RepubliCONs to use the term "Deep State"?!?
Who wrote these talking points? InfoWhores? InsHannity? Rush Limpballs?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

17. Some tRump minion is gonna get fired for....

emailing Rethug talking points to our Dems instead of Rethug congresspersons AND Faux News.

(who knows, Faux or Heritage many have written the talking points and sent them to the WH)

Maybe it contains more incriminating statements on WH stationary..... .......

[Leith]

18. The Stupid - It...

feels pretty good today.

[Tech]

19. Republicans are like the borg on Star Trek. They are a collective, unable to think

for themselves. They are linked in a hive mind called a collective. They actually believe that resistance is futile.

I don't normally comment on appearances, but for this I would make an exception. If I had more computer abilities I would Photoshop all of the republicans as borg. It was the first thing that came into my mind when I read this.

Perhaps there is someone who would be so kind as to provide a picture of the borg for those who are not enlightened?

Spoiler: the borg lost.

[Duppers]

20. 😂 Hilarious & unreal.

Wow.



Memo on how to handle charges of extortion.

[dlk]

22. Sounds like someone is in a panic or this was a plant

I’m guessing when the full contents of the whistleblower complaint are revealed, it will be far worse than what has already been revealed.

[pangaia]

29. no doubt...

[dlk]

41. There may be some sort of virus or spyware n the email

I wouldn’t put anything past the Republicans

[defacto7]

69. +1

[Vinca]

23. I bet no Democrat would keep a copy of it.

[TygrBright]

24. The replies in the tweet thread are priceless...

Someone gif'd Green Shirt Guy, someone included a Three Stooges clip...

[BumRushDaShow]

25. I remember so many times at work where people would accidentally send to the wrong (huge) list

and then attempt the (largely failed) effort to "recall" it. I think I had only seen a "recall" function actually work just a few times out of what had to have been hundreds of "oops" emails that had been sent out over the years. But even worse would be the idiotic someone who would reply-all saying they weren't supposed to be the recipient, leading to more "reply-alls" telling everyone to stop "replying to all"... leading to the descent into reply-alls yelling at other reply-alls to stop the reply-all, resulting in email avalanche hell.

[pangaia]

31. lololololololo

[BumRushDaShow]

38. ....

And you got this right--->

I remember one time when it was something accidentally sent Department-wide (all agencies) so literally sent to tens of thousands of people on the list, resulting in who knows how many reply-alls insisting on replying-to-all to ask why they got the message....and that went on for almost an hour before I think agencies started temporarily shutting off their mail systems to halt it...

And for people who were near their email quotas, all the reply-all crap took them over the top so then they couldn't get any legit email until they went in and deleted all the reply-all stuff.

[pangaia]

42. more LOLOLOLOLOLOLO

I am on the Board of Directors of your Town House HOA..

Talk about reply all !
Bunch of old dummies (I'm 75 so I can say that),, EVERY TIME anybody replies to an email from ANYBODY, they hit REPLY-ALL!!

[BumRushDaShow]

44. I guess it's habit or something

Maybe used to sending to the same couple people all the time so hitting that reply-all is automatic.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

26. A mistake? Or is there a saboteur in the West Wing?

[kentuck]

32. :-)__

[LiberalLovinLug]

33. Typical deflective conclusion they were told to speak...They do this every time.....

"The real scandal here is the leaks about a second-hand account of the President’s confidential telephone call with a foreign leader triggered a media frenzy of false accusations against the President and forced the President to release the transcript."


The big bad "media" with their fake accusations and poor widdle Trumpy was forced, forced I tells ya, to release the transcript.

[rufus dog]

34. And this is why some of us were pushing so hard for impeachment

Go on offense, then let them make unforced errors. Always happens

[berni_mccoy]

35. LOLOLOLOL

[C_U_L8R]

36. That's like Randolph and Mortimer

desperately trying to reopen the commodity market after closing.

[IronLionZion]

40. But her emails!

This has to be on purpose. Someone inside is leaking this.

[DeminPennswoods]

45. That's a hoot

Maybe it's why Dems have been spot on message today and making the point to the media not to get confused by GOP talking points.

[kentuck]

47. They should be given to all the networks.

Then they would know when the Republicans are playing them.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

49. I'm quite willing to think

it was someone who simply sent the email to the wrong group. People out in the so-called real world do that all the time. Maybe what's truly amazing is that we don't see that sort of thing a whole lot coming from elected officials or their campaigns.

[durablend]

50. That'd be one thing

But saying "Um, we need you to send them back and pretend you never saw them".

THAT'S NOT HOW ANY OF THIS WORKS, IDIOTS!!!!!!!!

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

70. Right.

It's also possible that whoever did that isn't really very understanding of how the technology works. There are still a lot of people out there who don't fully understand it.

[skypilot]

58. Wow. Conservatives ARE funny after all.

60. Double-Reverse play with just a *twist* of lemon

[Takket]

61. The moment the person responsible realized what happened...

[hurple]

68. This reminds me of the time

Someone at work accidentally sent their sick today email to the entire company. It said they couldn't come in because of explosive diarrhea and then went into great depth describing their morning so far in scintillating detail.

[NBachers]

71. Looks like the wicked woven web is unwaveling.

[Blue Owl]

72. Nice Shrieking Points ya got there...

Be a shame if something were to happen to them...
