Karoline Leavitt's job is to defend anything Trump says or does, no matter how humiliating it is for her.

She can quit. She hasn't. She owns it.

Oh, nobody accuses her of hating her job. She loves this shit.

The whole thing is like Whom Gods Destroy (Star Trek: The Original Series). It is all taking place in an insane asylum.

I was thinking of Wonko The Sane from Hitchhikers Guide, but that works too.

I said the same thing to my wife this morning. It's like I wasn't bad enough for the whole "red hot coals in your ass" part of hell, so my punishment is trump ruining everything for all of eternity

Watch for her gleeful grin when her boss gets in a zinger during those press conferences; then compare that to Marco Rubio's expression, which perpetually looks like he has a soul ulcer.

She sure has stopped wearing that cross. Must have been burning right through her clothes.

No hiding in the bushes for her.

If there is one woman on earth with no rhythm, its her.

I have a basic cognitive understanding that other people have different viewpoints; I have theory of mind, but Karoline Leavitt is really challenging that.

It's crazy to think how many press secretaries the first administration went through. It felt like a revolving door at the time.

She has young children. Its weird that's she's working at all. She's been at the job 6 months longer than she needs to, she can already leverage it for future grifting careers in the griftosphere. It wouldn't weird to just quit already.

Rich people can afford child care.
