Spicer is screaming at press and saying there is no Russian connection. Folks, these assholes

need to go -- impeachment. Trump's budget is the worst budget ever. I am not exaggerating. Now Spicer is screaming/shouting down the press, READING PRESS STORIES THAT "PROVE" Trump's wiretapping claim. Also screaming that there is no Russia connection. What a meltdown! This is a disaster for the country.

Yes, this is an embarrassment for our country, but the worse they behave, I really believe the closer we come to getting rid of him. Screaming and shouting doesn't necessarily lead to an impeachment, but it says a lot about what they know, and what they fear will eventually be uncovered.

I was driving home from the hospital and had the car radio on. The Spice Man was losing it, reading newspaper stories, the NYT in particular, as if this is conclusive evidence that the Trumpster was correct is accusing President Obama of wiretapping. In addition, we're suppose to believe that the Trumpster's amended statement/definition of 'tapping' includes broad surveillance methods and that the Brits did it because . . . they're capable of doing it.

O.M.G.

Using a shrieking voice is suppose to convince all listeners. I've got news for the Spice Man. That hysterical presentation did not convince anyone of anything beyond a simple observation: Spicey is becoming as unhinged as his boss.

The paranoia is spreading.

but he was highly agitated and begins reading so rapidly and loudly from a script his words kind of run onto together. He accused the press of not covering reports from other news sources (among them Sean Hannity). This was in response to the Senate Intelligence committee chairmens statement that there was no surveillance of Trump Tower ordered by Obama.
