This whole thing is extremely funny, to me. I was just eating lunch and I saw that Politico tweet about Rodrigo being bad at parallel parking and forever reason this extremely dumb premise (the WH blowing it by not inviting Ariana Grande) just popped into my head.

I chuckled bc it was so stupid. I thought when I posted it some people would get it and others would find it believable (bc Politico publishes gossipy bullshit like that all the time). I thought it'd eventually get back to them & they'd be like, 'Uhhh no. We didnt' write that.'
But I thought it'd be a while and it'd be a pretty mild reaction. Instead, within an hour of posting, big diaper baby/editor of Politico Sam Stein was calling it 'disinformation' and summoning Twitter Support, which...I didn't really expect. I guess I should have, though.
I have tremendous respect for journalists. Most all of them do a great job for not enough pay, in shrinking industry. The exception to this is political journalists. They are mostly thin-skinned, overpaid hacks who miss the forest from the trees & think they're above criticism.
Or in this case, think they're above parody. The fact that ppl would believe that this extremely stupid premise- the WH not getting Ariana Grande was a big failure- really goes to show how low of an opinion ppl have of what Politico publishes. And it's completely warranted...
Tbh, even Sean 'yellow teeth' Davis of The Federalist gave it more than an hour before he freaked out over the 'Mommy Milky' tweet and that went genuinely viral. This had like 40-50 RTs.
When that guy has thicker skin than you...
