WORST WH ADMIN EVER!!!

The official likened the brief political calm to the aftermath of the October 2017 gun massacre in Las Vegas that left 58 dead and hundreds more injured. That tragedy united White House aides and the country in their shared mourning for the victims and their families.

“But as we all know, sadly, when the coverage dies down a little bit, we’ll be back through the chaos,” the official said.

1. Dead children are not a "reprieve". They are sick.

[ProfessorGAC]

3. And Now This Is Out There

They think it was a reprieve? This statement just gave people more pummeling tools.

8. All the more reason to go disco dancing.

2. The best people only THE BEST!

4. 17 dead kids? what pigs

[Blue_true]

5. Wow. nt

[gratuitous]

6. This seems . . . callous

I wonder if anyone in the popular media will notice?

I'm also not sure what granting this source anonymity gets the reporter. If there are "internal conversations" going on at the White House about what a swell development 17 dead kids is, I think the public is entitled to know who thinks like that while drawing a paycheck from our taxpayer dollars.

7. Talk about a major

disconnect with reality. Protect Trump 24/7.

9. Am I the only one who thought of West Wing

When CJ accidentally says the President is glad to be talking about something that matters in reference to servicemen getting killed rather than on-going controversy about his health.

It was scandalous in the show. It is worse in real life.

10. In a reality-based universe

this would soon be an ex-WH staffer.

In this universe, I'm guessing he'll be promoted. Until his name is revealed and the WH is pressured into firing an otherwise nice guy and very professional, able colleague.

11. In a reality-based universe

No White House staffer would have an occasion to say something like that.

12. NOBODY COULD BE THAT GD STUPID!!!

EXCEPT THEY FUCKING ARE!!

[Hekate]

13. Holy sh*t. I had to read that twice.

Sick sick sick

[tanyev]

14. Those idiots do have the option of keeping their stupid sociopathic mouths shut

and not saying anything. They know that, right?

[Ilsa]

15. Reprieve? They are relieved that the msm has

another story to talk about for the next week. They don't give a damn about the victims.
