The irony is getting pretty thick in here.

Definitely not newsworthy.

New Zealand: Man brings clown to redundancy meeting

When copy writer Josh Thompson received an ominous email from his bosses asking to discuss his role at the company, he knew he was facing redundancy.

The human resources department at FCB New Zealand encouraged him to bring a "support person" to help cushion the blow, an option that is legally required in New Zealand.

But rather than bring a family member, a friend or even a pet, the part-time stand-up comedian decided to splash out NZ$200 (£100) on a clown called "Joe".

"I was working - because I had a job back then - and I got an email and the email said: 'Hi Josh we'd like to meet with you to discuss some matters in regards to your role,'" he told the BBC from Australia, where he has been "making the most of not having a job".

"Basically I sensed that this was going to be a redundancy ... so I thought I might as well try to make the best out of this situation," he added.

• Is it all over for non-creepy clowns?

"Joe" accompanied Josh for the redundancy meeting, where the clown made balloon animals, although he had to be told to stop a few times as it was difficult to hear above the screeching of plastic.

"Boy, oh, boy, are they noisy," Josh said.

When Josh was finally delivered the hammer blow that he was to lose his job, the clown reacted accordingly.

"He nodded his head along when I received the bad news as if he was also receiving the bad news," Josh said.

"Professionalism at its finest, really."

Josh said he'd highly recommend hiring a clown as support for any suspected redundancy meeting.

"If you've got family, friends, step mums, step dads, step kids, bring them by all means," he said.

"But if there's a clown available, especially Joe, I'd definitely recommend it."

Hopefully you will figure it out eventually but I doubt it.

Mueller said he didn't decide on whether to recommend indictment because of the Justice Department's policy that you can't indict a sitting president. It's obvious from the report that Trump committed crimes while President. This isn't hard to understand.

He either recommends indictment or he doesn't. He can be indicted after he leaves office.

You know you people got fooled and now you defend the people that fooled you. So stupid it's hard to believe.

Only cult members behave like you. You aren't even the victims of a con. Conned people eventually start to figure out the con.

Trump misspelled a word.

[Uncle Sparky]

I remember Andrew Dice Clay's breakdown on a talk show... same idea.

[Kidlicious]

He didn't recommend indictment because he would lose the case. Imagine if Trump had been impeached for that and then found not guilty in criminal court. So that's what that's about.

But since we're on the subject this is what we found out from Mueller's testimony. The knew very early, if not immediately that there was no case for collusion. So they tried to prove obstruction. But they had no case for obstruction either. So what they did was keep the investigation going to try to get Trump to impeach.

So cry me a ****ing river fellas.

And yet you know that is total BS. He deliberately obstructed the investigation at every turn. Quoting you:

Mueller should have recommended indictment. There is no law against him recommending indictment.

[Kidlicious]

Thank you for admitting that Trump is guilty of obstruction of justice.

Can't be guilty when the investigation doesn't yield a recommendation for indictment. The salt mines are booming.

I don't care if you think he abused power or not. Nothing is going to happen to him. So you are just making stupid accusations.

[Ming]

No. I just want Trump to get away with the worst abuse of power in history.

FIFY
