GOP Mocked After Hotel Makes WiFi Password For House Republicans Retreat 'Socialism Is Very Very Bad'

House Republicans have recently traveled to Baltimore for a party retreat and, perhaps feeling a little bit "fun" on their big vacation, have decided to get a little bit cheeky with their Wifi password at the local Marriott.


Washington Post reporter Rachel Bade was walking through the hotel's lobby and found that the password had been reset to a reference to a line from a recent Donald Trump rally:

"Socialism_Is_Very_Very_Bad"

Of course, many Twitter users felt the Republicans had failed to make any real point with their password.



Others pointed out that communal WiFi seemed a little bit...socialist?


Of course, the GOP hates socialism until they have to bail out farmers because of their own trade policies.



There's nothing Republicans won't do to themselves to own the libs!


Many people pointed out that the password, whether or not you agreed with its message, was just badly constructed.



And that strangely long password?

It's not even accurate as written.

Meanwhile, as always, Twitter sounded off on various political hypocrisies.



But if there's one thing we can agree on at the end of the day, it's that this is just a bad password...

...though it does sum up the GOP pretty well.

Blue States Are Taking A Page Out Of Trump's Playbook With Alerts About SNAP Benefits

President Donald Trump and his administration are facing criticism as blue states post alerts about the loss of Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) benefits as a result of the Trump administration's failure to spend contingency funds to feed people on the program, a decision that is resulting in a nationwide hunger crisis impacting millions of families.

State officials have announced plans to inform visitors that if they’re alarmed by the pause in SNAP benefits beginning November 1 due to the shutdown, they should direct their frustration at the Republican Party.
