Spicer just actually said these real words for real: "There's this assumption in Washington that if you get less money, it's a cut."

Since Spicer thinks you can get less without it being a cut, let's reduce his salary by 50% and call it a raise. #PressBriefing

I'm a major word-parser, but there's no point in parsing Spicer's words here. It's just a torrent of lies defending a lie.

(192 posts)can't help feeling a bit sorry for this guy...he seems like a decent person trapped in a no-win situation...kinda like when
bishops make excuses for priests who bugger little boys in the rectory.

I've never seen a spokesman so defensive, confrontational and monopolizing of time while talking over others. What a complete ASS! This is government ruled in chaos.
It almost makes one long for the days of Bush 43 when Dana Perino had Spicer's job.

(9,426 posts)If that was reduced, he would see that as a cut, wouldn't he? Maybe not, since he is in DC. Must pay well to be a liar on a daily basis.

(10,907 posts)30%/year, and he wanted to cut ... er nominally reduce a program's funding by 10%, that wouldn't really be a cut because what's left has 20% more purchasing power or something like that, right?

Yeah, well, he's not really taking the "axe" to it, if the cost of living were falling there by 30%/year, and he's only "axing" it by 10%
blah blah blah
