Newsweek reports that one early instance of the quote being misattributed to Churchill comes, ironically, from a 1939 ad for Budweiser — a company DeSantis has criticized in the recent past.

Reminds me of the ending of Trumps presidency press conference at The Four Seasons Landscaping, lol. These idiots messing up this hard just epitomizes how much of a joke each and every one of them are.

Four Seasons Landscaping is such a huge, embarrassing blunder.

If Biden pulled a stunt like that it would never be let go... But so much bad shit is going on with the donnie debacle that I've almost completely forgotten about four seasons landscaping.

I will never forget Four Seasons Landscaping for the simple reason that it is the funniest thing to ever happen.

It's an SNL skit come to life.

It's so funny that you can't make a joke out of it.

The only option would be to "Normal Al" it and have everyone dress up in costume and deliver the press briefing they intended at the actual Four Seasons.

My favorite part:

During the event, while Giuliani was stating how strong their case was, a reporter interrupted to say that all of the major news networks were now joining in projecting Biden's victory. Giuliani asked "Who was it called by?" Sky News correspondent Mark Stone replied by saying "All the networks." Giuliani then responded by looking heavenward and striking a pose of mock crucifixion, saying "All the, oh my goodness, all the networks. Wow! All the networks!"

It truly was a glorious moment.

Why does this party seem out of Arrested development?

[-] frunch@lemmy.world 20 points 9 months ago

The Bluth family was actually modeled after the Trumps.

At least George actually went to jail for his crimes, I would also unashamedly laugh my dick off at a clip of Melanie’s saying ‘I really don’t care for Eric’

[-] AbidanYre@lemmy.world 6 points 9 months ago

George was a patsy who was set up by the CIA

[-] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 7 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

He may have committed some light treason.

[-] StinkyOnions@lemmy.world 8 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago)

I mean, Trump did steal the wall idea from Arrested Development.

[-] massive_bereavement@kbin.social 12 points 9 months ago

He also might have done some light treason.

[-] rayyy@lemmy.world 4 points 9 months ago

He also might have done some light treason

or some heavy duty insurrection

[-] DarkDarkHouse@lemmy.sdf.org 1 points 9 months ago

Either way, he has the worst fucking lawyers

[-] SkybreakerEngineer@lemmy.world 5 points 9 months ago

Remember the Twitter thing? Meatball Ron's whole campaign has been a clown show

[-] OpenStars@startrek.website 5 points 9 months ago

I can only try to picture those thought processes. Like he wants to go to war, so he asks "someone hand me the suitcase 💼? no, I mean hand me the football 🏈? Nvm I'm tired, I think I'll just go to bed 🛏️ early."
