Top White House officials told a reporter, “Your mom,” when asked who picked the location for Donald Trump’s upcoming meeting with Vladimir Putin.

Trump announced Thursday that he will soon meet with Putin in Budapest, Hungary, to discuss an end to the war in Ukraine. The choice has raised questions, because Putin is wanted by the International Criminal Court. However, Hungary appears unlikely to cooperate with the warrant and is in the process of leaving the court, the Associated Press reports.

When HuffPost asked the White House who chose the location for the meeting, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt replied, “Your mom did.” White House Communications Director Steven Cheung also followed up with, “Your mom,” the outlet reports.

    Bruh the literal plot point was that uneducated people had so many kids they drowned out the gene pool. Can’t believe you think you understand the movie but haven’t seen the first 5 minutes.

      The irony:

      You said the plot “is eugenicist”…

      The plot is not someone who studied eugenics, it’s ironic because that’s the type of thing someone from the movie would say, and viewers would be meant to laugh at them.

      It’ll never “come true” because it has always been true

      Right now there are people so intelligent that the average person comparatively has a learning disability. And there are people that much further from them

      Like Gulliver’s Travels, the writer uses someone from outside a foreign system, to critique the protagonist’s original homeland. And I’ll be fucking damned if people didn’t miss it the second time, even though most of gas to read Gulliver’s Travels back in English class.

      If you think it might be coming true that means you’re one of the masses.

      Because you would have fucking realized 99.999% of people you ever met are total idiots as a young child before you had any idea that you were just that much smarter than everyone else.

      Those statistical outliers existed 300k years ago, and will keep existing at roughly the same percentage until humans stop existing.

      But honestly, I thought I already hit the block button. I’m out.
