Quote:White House Denies Any Ties to United States

WASHINGTON (The Borowitz Report)—In a fiercely defiant statement on Tuesday, the White House press secretary, Sean Spicer, denied that any member of the White House staff has ever worked "in any way, shape, or form" for the benefit of the United States.
Angrily addressing the press corps, Spicer said that any allegations that members of the Trump Administration have ever acted in concert or collusion with the United States are "unequivocally false."
"At no time during the transition or afterward did any member of the Trump team have meetings, conversations, or any other contacts that furthered the interests of the United States of America," Spicer said. "In the thousands of communications that took place, the United States never came up even once."
Drawing a stark contrast with the Administration of former President Barack Obama, Spicer said that many members of Obama’s staff were “clearly and flagrantly working for the United States government at all times.”
“President Trump has put an end to that,” he said.
In closing, Spicer said that the recent effort to pass the Republican health-care bill should silence “once and for all” those trying to link the Trump Administration to the United States government. "If you look at the interaction between the White House and congressional Republicans, there is absolutely no evidence of coördination,” he said.

I wasn't sure if this fit into the thread theme of jokes, then I realized it's a picture with seven talking yogurt slingers. That's funny after all.

To me it sums up a lot of the back and forth about racism and sexism and privilege and such.
Also, I thought they were clothespins.

Hmm, I only skimmed that but I don't recall seeing it criticize the rich US citizen job-creator that decided to hire Juan Illegal instead of John Legal. Can't we all just agree to stop hiring illegal immigrants? Come on...we can do this. It just requires teamwork and putting the good of the country over your own short-term gains. Oh wait, that's why it doesn't work.
