with being played? What is she getting out of playing the kings fool every day? Where is her self-respect?

(102,225 posts)in recent years and which seems to be imprinted on Sarah's very being, I think the latter. Her self worth is now so tied up in Trump, I think they will have to haul her out with a bite mask and four point restraints, ah la Hannibal Lector.

(58,785 posts)She's the classic "I was just following orders" person.
And when some in the WH press corps say poor Sarah got sandbagged by Trump, they're revealing that they've gotten sucked into accepting in this fake press secretary what they have an absolute duty to never accept. Her job is to relay lies to the American people, and that's what she does.

(11,256 posts)She's way too far on the fringe, even for today's GOP, to leave. The Huckabees are basically the Duggars. This is her one and only shot, so she'd be foolish to leave.

(7,430 posts)SHS was the Trumpian stooge who was hiding behind the veil of officialdom. She had a diminishing modicum of respectability. This past week changed all of that. Now shes exposed as a cheap front for even cheaper con artists. Now those press briefings have no value except for political satire. Everyone knows that shes Trumpys lying mouthpiece with nothing else to offer. After Trumpy, shes in an occupational dead end. Maybe sheall write a tell-all book to string the Fanboys along, but shes basically finished after Trumpy is finished.

(15,696 posts)She's so bad at her actual job that not even junior senators or freshman reps would want her in their comms offices. She'll be lucky if she lands a fake job at a fake wingnut nonprofit in Toad SuckFerry, Arkansa.

(4,608 posts)This is a woman who works as a professional liar and willingly earns her salary from a self-admitted, bragging, unrepentant pu$$y-grabber. I think any discussion of self respect is a closed book.

(54,349 posts)At one time, we noticed that articles of value on our offices for authentication would occasionally disappear. They were always the most generic and easily fenced, so we set up a video system, even though it was in an area where our most trusted people were. Well, whadaya know, the trust in our most trusted people was 100% justified. The bible-thumper had access as an occasional liason to outside parties, and sure enough he was the one who was the thief.
This was a sanctimonious Republican who ranted against "libbruls," claimed he was "pro-life" even though he ate meat and supported the death penalty, the whole nine yards. We kicked his ass out and handed him to the FBI.
Before him, we had another guy, a local Texan, who joined the God Squad. He started preaching around our premises, and generally went bats. His wife left him, and he was completely lost in the world. We had to let him go, but felt sorry for him, as he hadn't tried anything evil, so we kept him on our payroll (in recognition for past good work) at minimum wage so he could continue to receive our company health insurance until he found another job (took 6 months, but he did).
I think given the chance, old Sarah would follow in the footsteps of the thief.

Also, kind of shocking and disappointing that, when presented with someone like SHS, the best a DUer can come up with is a gender insult.

(11,238 posts)What do you think "saddlebags" means, anyway? I doubt you've ever described a man that way.

(19,805 posts)Around here is getting boring.
I would have taken it to mean excess baggage....not
fat.
Lets not get outraged for these maggots.
Demit
(11,238 posts)And can you give me an example of a man who has been described as having saddlebags?
The outrage, if that's what you want to call it, is not FOR Sarah Sanders. It's against the ease people have in going immediately to the physical when they want to insult a woman. And yes, it refers to fat, fat around the hips and thighs, if you really didn't know.
And lies are her excess baggage.
Not every thought i have flies to FAT.

(24,470 posts)We know exactly what you meant. You are an asshole. SHS is many thing but commenting on her weight is childish, sexist and immature. Congratulations.

(14,959 posts)she will likely try to claim it is a result of her having some morals/standards, and that she was finally pushed too far, or too often. DO NOT BELIEVE THAT.
Her behavior to date demonstrates an utter lack of morals, integrity, and self-respect (not to be confused w/ vanity). It is doubtful she even herself believes what she spews, whether it be about Trump, America, religion, foreign policy, economics, any of it. She is a congenital liar and shameless opportunist. Once she's out, she will try to cast herself in the role of both hero and victim, depending on the audience and anecdote. DO NOT BELIEVE THAT.
Like so many others who work for Trump, she does so because he has put her in a role/position she could never otherwise achieve. Nobody but Trump would have hired her for that position. Like Trump's other minions, she lacks the achievements and personal characteristics to qualify for her job under any other administration, Republican or otherwise.
