Backpfeifengesicht*

*A German word known to many DUers, but for those who aren't familiar, it means "a face in need of a punch" (or slight variations thereof).

Today I came across the name Hogan Gidley, a White House toady (sorry, spokesman) vehemently defending Trump's corona response, & was compelled to see the face attached to that name. What turned up did not surprise me in the least, and in fact reminded me of another backpfeifengesicht candidate from a few years ago.

Hogan Gidley


Martin Shkreli


We really do get the face we deserve.

and the authorities weren't having any. I understand his attitude got him in trouble, that he's had problems 'adjusting'.

Arguably has done far more damage than Shkreli........

So many punchable ones to choose from in the GOP world.

Hillary couldn't step out of the house without CBSN having "Hogan" (his middle name, the pretentious turd) in studio or dialing him on the phone to dump on her and her candidacy.

I guess they were jealous of CNN having Jeffrey Lord, Kayleigh McEnany (sp? who cares) and Corey Lewandowski (!) on their payroll.

The media never got any comeuppance for their awful behavior in the last election and they still haven't learned. I wonder which MAGAs we can expect to see on the air getting paid for their "commentary" this cycle.
