Karoline Leavitt is really annoying.
She tries to be snarky, but it doesn't work because she's completely wrong.
She's like an unironic version of Philomena cunk.
Some should tell that dumbass that was sarcasm to make a POINT. Besides, Donald would rather melt down the statue into Trump coins, or replace it with a gold plated statue of himself.
Whew! Otherwise, George Lucas was going to have to buy the rights to Planet of the Apes and digitally change the ending.
There's a theory that the Statue of Liberty shown at the end was actually the one from Las Vegas. Lucas could have changed that to the Las Vegas Sphere: "GOD DAMN U2 ALL TO HELL!"
The downfall of society started when Apple pushed U2's album onto all iPhones.
U2, the band that represents someone else randomly choosing what music I have to listen to.
Maybe when mtv quit having news and just the real world
No harder cutting news than when Kennedy felated her microphone just out of Giuliani's peripheral vision that one fateful NYE.
Did they even say ',thank you'?!?!
You joke, but that's basically the White House official response.
“Absolutely not. My advice to that unnamed low-level French politician would be to remind them that it’s only because of the United States of America that the French are not speaking German right now,” said White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt in a press briefing Monday, likely referencing an American-French allyship during World War II that snuffed out Nazi Germany. “They should be grateful.”
Concept of a thank you
Hey, France, from an American:
Insist on it. Every. Single. Meeting. Insist. Return it. Give it back. Fuck you, that’s not what it’s for. Put the screws in.
Our idiot fucking government wants transactional and splashy. Oblige them.
Conservatives love to control the narrative by forcing people to deny their ridiculous claims, so do it right back.
Force them to keep denying that they owe France the statue so the admin will never stop legitimizing the idea with their pissbaby tantrums.

This is how we treat our allies now? What timeline are we in?
If not for the French we wouldn't have a country.
We know damn well she would have sided with the Nazi, had she lived during WWII.
She demands gratefulness for something she would have never endorsed in the first place.
French people can speak german if they like and what is very interesting is that France is a very close ally to Germany but no longer the USA.
If she thinks we are not grateful enough, perhaps she could visit Normandy. Pay her respect in front of the tombs of the brave soldiers who sacrificed their lives in the name of freedom. The very same thing the administration she works for is taking away from Americans.
She’s a 27 year old catholic school moron who failed to get elected in her home state, responded by marrying a rich 60 y/o and then decided that talking for Trump was more important than raising her new born after Trump ear got blood on it.
I guarantee she never learned shit about actual history and since her first job was for Fox News I suspect it’s impossible for her to learn now.
And if the French hadn't helped the US in the revolutionary war, they'd all be speaking English and be under a despotic monarch now.
Oh wait...
This just proves that the 18th century French were time-travellers who ultimately proved that fate is unavoidable.
I love his these utter dips are reminding France that we fought the Nazis, while acting like Nazis and being saluted like Nazis.
Moreover they forget they own a good part of their independence to France
Yes, what's up with that? Couldn't USA find a peaceful solution back then? But no, they had to invade. Its like they didn't want peace. /s
We still have allies?
Come on, our strategic relations with Russia have never been better.
So did Trump reply to a onion article again?
One French MP said the US should return the statue of liberty, probably more to make a rhetorical point instead of an actual demand.
I made a comment that France should demand it back a while ago. It's always good to know I don't have original thoughts
I'm sure it's been said many times over the course of US history.
Oh so like when Bill Maher made a joke and he sued him for what was promised in a joke. Got it.
Trump did not say thank you! What a piece of shit. He would not have a democracy to destroy without the help of the French.
If they could read the New Colossus poem would convince them they don’t want it or anything it stands for.
Oh look! The White House is responding to troll comments!
Awesome!
You know the thing about idiocracy and now is we have people now who look at the headlines and are like WTF! No need for the frozen person from the past. The inmates are in charge of the asylum.
Majority rule don't work in mental institutions
