Her only press conference was about 15 minutes long. It sounds like she burned up all of her allotted 15 minutes of fame in one go.

Only redeeming feature is she looked like a former striper. Pretty hot
I'm sure they'll find someone with the highest standards and preeminent qualifications for the job.
/s
I've lost track, is this number four?
This is the Trump administration. Just have an AI Super American Eagle do the press releases. He can have catchy phrases and wear a red-white-and-blue top hat. And a monocle!
Nailed it, I win mods close thread
Nope. Said AI instead of SI. ICE is already surrounding your location.
You cannot do a whole-ass head of lettuce with this administration. Pre-chopped bags from the recall left open on the counter is the only fair fight.
So diarrhea lettuce.
Just when I thought nobody could break The Mooch's record, we get a new unit of measurement for White House tenure.
What are we calling this new unit? A Zachariah? A Zack? KZ? Conversion is simple enough. 2 Zacks equal 1 Mooch.
Or almost 1 mooch? I though a mooch was 11 days
That's what I was thinking too. I personally prefer a mooch being 11 days because the ratio becomes 5/11. I know it's not 5/7 as in "a perfect 5 out of 7" but they rhyme and I like that. Also in decimal 5/10 is 0.5 while 5/11 is 0.454545454545. That's some DaVinci Code shit.
I think it depends on when you consider start and stop times. Someone said Mooch hadn't even signed a contract before being let go implying negative days. It's just all crazy.
As a paragraph in itself, around the middle when it started getting into the weeds of why she is gone:
She was not a deft communicator.
The outsized understatement is still smoking. Never change, NYT.
As Jimmy Kimmel said: what do Pete Hegseth and Katie Zacharia have in common? Neither of them can pass the bar.
She was so excited at that press conference, saying how happy she was to be working for Trump.
I'm so pleased that this probably broke her heart. For the rest of her scummy life, she'll always be remembered for being one of the most incompetent people among the the most incompetent people ever in the history of the US government.
Not sure if she's capable of understanding any of this if you factor in the Dunning–Kruger effect.
Creepy MAGA is creepy.
Looks like he has two of those real dolls set up in there. Maybe too much teeth, though.
Wait a minute, all those promises of sex bots being made? Is the primary audience donnie? He loves Grok, too. It would make so much sense.
I once won tickets to see a variety show in Vegas, and it had topless women chorus line dancing between acts. If you had asked me before then whether I'd prefer a variety show with topless women or without, I'd have said, "With, please." But that would have been wrong.
I swear, they all had the same desperate fake smile as Katie Zacharia in that picture, and they all were pushing out their chests with their bolt-on tits as hard as they could. I remarked to my date that all of the dancers seemed extremely motivated to display the most fake parts of their bodies, as I'm guessing their teeth were all fake, too.
It was all extremely off-putting, like they were all victims of human trafficking. I admit I couldn't stop looking, either. It was sort of like looking at a car crash if all the victims had their fake tits out.
On the other hand, the variety act itself was extremely entertaining.
But anyways, based on Katie Zacharia's smile in that picture, I can't help but remember that very odd experience. One of the reasons I don't like Vegas.

Americans will measure with anything but the Metric system…
Zacharia to Scaramuchi: "Look at me. I'm the measurement of incompetence now!"
he can finally breath a sigh of relief.

Impressive since most thought a Scaramuchi was a fundamental unit
Eh. Fundamental units are about the unit itself and not the value. Like the second is the fundamental unit of time but you can really have fractions of a second. Or were you thinking of something like Planck units? Those are the smallest theoretical units that make sense given general relativity. So a Planck length is the smallest distance between two points that would be considered two separate points. Any closer and they are effectively the same point.
Maybe the Mooch was the Planck unit and the Zachariah is the quantum unit?
Ironically the name, "second," implies that it's not fundamental.
Maybe the Mooch was the Planck unit and the Zachariah is the quantum unit?
Hang on, I think others posted that Mooch was fired before he signed his contract. This would suggest that a Mooch is in superposition existing in both a fired from employment and not yet hired for employment simultaneously. So only observation can collapse the waveform to obtain a singular value of a Mooch for a given moment.
I was thinking smallest theoretical unit. I knew I had made a mistake and couldn’t think of the correct term. And I wondered if anyone was going to correct me. I’m happy you did.

Welp, I lost this bet. I was for sure she just wouldnt do many of any press hits for a day or two and then maybe a press briefing once a month. I think Hannity or the Fox and Friends interviews did it
At this rate they are going end up with Stephen Miller in a blond wig and huge tits.
LOL. Dear god.
I still cannot believe the before and after pictures of her, though. Hooooooly shit.
This is a masterpiece
