Based on the old soviet joke, the first time you blame it on your predecessor, the second time you blame it on your advisors, the third time you write 3 letters. Since Kristi Noem was fired yesterday, maybe we've moved into the second letter phase.
- neogodless 7mo agoI figured there had to be some story behind this reference, and I found this "two letters" version on Reddit - https://www.reddit.com/r/ussr/comments/1n7dips/soviet_joke_that_actualy_made_me_sniker/ https://www.reddit.com/r/ussr/comments/1n7dips/soviet_joke_t... Do you have a "three letter" reference?
- ksherlock 7mo agoThat's the reference but I've always heard it as 3 envelopes: 1. blame your predecessor 2. blame your staff 3. write 3 letters...
