Wasn't I saying I do kind of want to laugh?

Can we laugh at these fucking little authoritarian thugs?

It was Susan Glasser we were talking about this and throughout the story is the same, you know, throughout the 1930s, just about how...

hackish and embarrassing and clownish the authoritarians were.

I kind of feel like we need sort of a segment on that.

I don't know.

Maybe put in the comments if you have some suggestions on what a brand for that could be.

Maybe like an award, like a weekly award for the most clownish attempt at authoritarianism.

For this week, I want to shout out Tricia McLaughlin.

Tricia is the spokesperson for the DHS who has just been

kind of unimaginably machine-like in her willingness to defend the worst of the worst actions of this administration.

And she's putting herself out there and not caveating it, not even like really spinning it.

I mean, Carolyn Levitt,

You know, you can tell that when things get ugly, she at least tries to spin it or backtrack or push it off to other people.

Like, Trisha is just leaning in and just advancing absurd lies about ICE's actions, defending the most heinous actions of the ICE officers.

And she's been out a lot on Fox over the past week.

And this was a clip that caught my eye, where yesterday...

on Hannity, she was talking about the protesters and the danger that was coming from the protesters and how the administration plans to crack down on them.

And I gotta tell you, you're gonna be shocked when you hear what these protesters were doing that is gonna demand the full force of the federal government.

That is a federal crime.
