C3PO could sue you for that

"This [imposition of punishing tariffs] is about America getting itself ready for the golden age" - how does this possibly qualify ast the "emergency" required for the President and not Congress to impose tariffs?

The grin of a man doing the Devil's work while filling his pockets.

Just another #KnittingYahoo with a false narrative to tell. Journalism is impossible to complete when propaganda people won’t answer the questions truthfully. Listen to the news, speak up with neighbors, be kind but firm. This is the test of our time, hold on tight.

With a sh*t-eating grin.

It’s weird how they’ll simultaneously confidently march troops into LA and threaten to take over NYC, but also feel the need to make mealy-mouthed justifications for stuff like this. They could probably get away with just openly saying “yeah we’re punishing them for putting Bolsonaro on trial”

Like this is certainly scandalous behavior, but it’s also one example of scandalous behavior out of many in this administration, and in most of them, they’ve just stared the public in the face and dared us to try to stop them. It’s just odd when and where they still choose to try to put on airs.

It’s just interesting to see during their quest to become full totalitarians, what still gives them tummy aches about it.

Is this “Golden Age” that he talks about anything like a Thousand Year Reich?

E chu ta!

I want him to blow his nose before he goes on camera.

only the best people.

It’s Colin Robinson… but he’s probably right about returning to a Gilded Age 😉

Giving energy vampire

My first reaction also!

I have been trying to explain this to everyone. Thank you

Even C3PO would call him a cuck.

No idea what he talks about. Always mush abstractions. Or something.

Despots got to stick together, don't cha know.

This right here is all I see when I look at him.

Exactly.

Hassett is a Trump sycophant that will say stupid AF shit to try to impress Trump

When you order Colin Robinson from Shein .

supercilious

Extortion. Trump does not know how to make a deal, he only knows how to extort, bribe, and steal. He is being a bully to extort everyone without having any context for how badly this will affect US position in the world.

his Bocce accent is awful

It’s probably not his painted smile… How do clowns do it?

On behalf of dull protocol droids:

blah blah blah

I got Kramer explaining a write-off to Jerry

The disproportionate forehead, which in sci-fi is a product of the costume helmet

Group folks dangerously playing with people lives - incomes as in card game. I fault Congress by allowing.

I'm fluent in over 6 million forms of disinformation

A chipmunk protocol droid.

If they’re smiling, they’re lying

He looks like the villain from Evil.

I take a little a solace in believing (perhaps incorrectly) that these are miserable people who Trump is ultimate going to backstab anyway.

could it be the vacant look in his eyes coupled with that insipid smile?

And he might be our new Fed Chair. 🤦🏻‍♀️

I see a mouse.

it's the fucking faint smile. it's grotesque.

Honestly he looks like a chipmunk high on cocaine, to me.

Or possibly an energy vampire. btw, has he and Colin Robinson ever been seen in the same room?

Lol. That is what I was thinking.

In addition to his other incompetence, Hassett is a lousy liar

He has such a sweet smile, though, doesn’t he?

I hope the beautician can put that smug little smirk on his face when he's in the box.

He's been programmed to make this embarrassing plot over and over and over

He must’ve flunked basic statistics multiple times, or never taken the course at all, in order to come up with that figure.

“Dull protocol droid” is an apt description.

Who lies

The Republicans learned to treat Americans like ignorant simple children decades ago. Every news interview is just Mom patiently explaining why Dad keeps coming home late smelling like whiskey. “All you need to know is that your father and I love you very much.”

Jon Karl did a good job of pressing for a reasonable answer. Highlights the faulty reasoning of Hassett.

I disagree. They complicate these interviews with their forced narratives. Just ask him for clarification, and refute with facts. Stop looking for gotcha moments.

the eternal smirk

Yeah, him and Karoline Leavitt. Creepy af.

Model # Grok4PO-0P

“America’s getting ready for its Golden age” ….🙄 Righhht….

Looks like the bad guy from Evil

It’s that village idiot smile. What’s so damned funny about tariffs and coups?

Brazil is holding an insurrectionist accountable and that doesn't sit well with our own coup plotter.

His constant smiling makes me think he has a form of autism.

He looks a lot like Andy Dailey, which is extremely unfortunate because I love Andy Dailey.

He has a very punchable face.

He is always smirking or smiling in a way that seems so fake. Truly annoying man.

Dollar store AI.

It's the patented "conservative smirk." I think they all practice it in the mirror every morning. It's used when they want to give the impression we're the child that the adult is patiently explaining something obvious to, although everyone on both sides knows they're lying through their teeth.

He needs it wiped off his face

Perfect. You're right, they're all damn dirty smirkers.

The first thing that comes to mind when I see him is a CHIPMUNK. but he's packed his cheeks with his own nuts

Colin Robinson & C-3PO's hate child...

Energy vampire.

Extreme Colin Robinson vibes.

Unkind to old Colin, surely

Is it, though?

Yes, at least Colin was capable of SOME affection for his roommates

Ok.

Unlike Kevin here, that is

it's very beautiful you're defending colin Robinson. thank you

As a foil for the actual grinning parasite Kevin here? ANY day, I prefer Colin Robinson, lol.

#KevinAsshat

This is amusing.

His face looks like a cheap, ill-fitting rubber mask.

How dare you call out C3PO like that! I'm offended!

I'm seeing different articles, who knows, that FED Chair Powell may resign. That is some scary shat.

Great interview

The “Golden Age“ of America? Is that like the “Thousand Year Reich”? Hassett is a tool - the kind of bureaucrat who will someday say, when asked to explain his ruinous actions, “I was just following orders”.

C-3PO without a personality module.

Golden age, huh? Gilded age, like the Oval Office?

Why hasn't Mark Proksch begun doing a parody yet? @markproksch.bsky.social

Looks like Colin Robinson

C(olinrobinson)3PO

That fucking guy.

Omg he does look just like him

He is indeed an energy vampire. He drones on and he's got that weird little smile at all times. It's sad because Colin Robinson is one of TV's best all-time characters! He doesn't deserve to be replicated by this evil shill.

I thought ‘punchable’ but yours is fancier.

For me, it's the creepy smile which always comes out when he is about to tell a lie that you know is a lie, that he knows is a lie, and that he knows you know is a lie, but he simply does not give AF.

He is fucking terrifying.

I dunno, I just despise him. Every time I see his face my brain shouts “he called us human capital stock”, I’ll never forget it.

He literally said nothing. They accused Kamala of word salads?

The verbal gymnastics were unbelievable

We all agree that Andy Daly is playing him in the movie, right?

It’s that “ Tickler “ butt plug that he’s always wearing .

Look like?

He reminds me of the energy draining vampire in What We Do In The Shadows. You know who I mean?

He's Collins! 🤣🤣

This sleaze didnt look terrible, the press guy did. He stuck to his inane talking points, and this anchor couldn't get him to mess up. Press go in with bizarre gotcha's they want to use to get a viral moment when they need ask simple, clear follow up questions related to what these goons say.

Hassett would consider that a compliment.

He’s a butter knife.

It’s the smile that gives me the heebie jeebies.

And he sounds like Tom Arnold

bsky.app/profile/raph...

Your plastic pal who’s fun to be with

He looks like he's about to murdered by Darth Vader.

Face like an Australian prime minister

Uh, uh, duh. And what’s this Golden Age myth?!

I think someone must have told him he’d look prettier if he smiled more

Constipated. You forgot constipated.

He'll be perfect when Trump appoints his as Fed Chair next year when Jerome Powell's term ends...

These motherfuckers really do drink the same flavor of Kool-Aid, don’t they?

🫡

Narrator (and, for a change, the reporter): That is not an answer to the question.

I was going to say sociopath, but this is good.

His resemblance to Colin Robinson the energy vampire from “What we do in the shadows” is uncanny, in appearance, mannerisms and delivery

It is the face of a bald-faced but confident liar.

I’m looking forward to drinking the cheap, domestically produced coffee that will result from this tariff.

At least we still make the creamer from our cows, but I hope my stomach can handle the diseases when only raw milk will be available, 😂.

I don't understand why the press keeps talking to him. It's a total waste of time.

Your fist would sink right into it, and you'd have a hard time pulling it out because he's so full of shit.

Mr Smirky.

He looks like Colin Robinson's more evil twin, frankly, but I think ColRob actually has a soul.

He looks like if Colin Robinson from What We Do In The Shadows had hair

youtu.be/vjaHrp6JtyY?...

you know, all this time I had him at smirking asshole but your analysis is better and more accurate.

So basically we are the playground bully. The one that use to beat up Hassett daily.

His smug mug is revolting. He seems simple as well. He failed up.

That is not a normal human being.

"there is something about kevin hassett’s face that makes him look like he’s an unusually dull protocol droid" There is nothing wrong that a Louisville Slugger won't fix!

Forgot alt text. Video clip from “What We Do in the Shadows”. IYKYK.

He was told to smile for a school play by his 4th grade teacher and he's never forgotten it.

Golden Age? What is this about? More tacky Trump gilding?

He is an Energy Vampire like his twin brother Colin Robinson.

He’s the principal from eastbound and down. The resemblance is uncanny

Hassett is so stupid, he's what a bag of hammers calls a box of rocks to insult it. Seriously, this clown is on the list for the next Fed Chair. Think about that for a minute. Sorry to make you throw up in your mouth a little.

From a former colleague of the man www.thebulwark.com/p/meet-kevin...

It would certainly be something if he was a reprogrammed security droid just waiting for a reason.

A protocol droid that constantly pronounces the most outrageous and wrong statistics.

The way the smirk gradually slides off Kevin Hassett's face as he realizes he's getting cooked is amazing.

He worked hard to cultivate that facade. 😁

you'll never convince me that he's not really Colin Robinson

He's got that suck energy vibe going on.

The key phrase in all his blather is that there is a NATIONAL EMERGENCY due to the massive trade deficits we have with other countries (though not with Brazil). Trade deficits are not and never have been national emergencies.

Clown after clown after clown.

He's also got a perpetually stuffed nose

it's also a very slappable face

Could be a TV megachurch pastor. Does nothing but lie with a smile on his face.

Maybe he can speak Bocce with the Brazilians

Those puppets just repeat the stupid inconsistent declarations of Trump like parrots. They are lobotomized and play a record without realizing they are stupid. Trump wants to subdue other countries to his will pretending to be a god, because he doesn't like something about them. Assholes Inc.
