still and just squirt him in the face. I am sure he would charge her with assault and Trump would tweet about it for the next six months but I would be so proud of her.

to set up a meeting for him "with her friends" in the Congressional Black Caucus.

We haven't had this number of blatant racists in the White House since Andrew Jackson.

shake her head in a WH briefing. Wow. Just wow. He's a chicken shit little banty rooster. Every reporter ought to shake their heads at Spicey at every opportunity. This dude HAS to go. The sooner he loses his shit on camera the sooner that is. Time for some expert trolling.

this spectacle had anything to do with race or gender (at least consciously) but I'm absolutely confident that anyone challenging the Administration will be immediately shutdown and belittled. Of course, this is the second moment between April Ryan and the Trumpsters, so she may be getting an extra dose of disrespect because she's not buying the BS.

Good one on her!

Keep the pressure on, April. The whole world is watching.

She had a big blow out with Omarosa and April made her back up before things got too heated. I initially thought donnie's improper comments to April was meant as a "bitch slap" for Omarosa but I now think it's just protocol for this eff'g tool. So, of course, spincer felt no obligation to respect her either.

First, he has a lot of stories to keep straight and they keep changing every day. So it's getting harder and harder to remember the story du jour.
Second, they have a coverup to plan and execute and with all those moving parts and players, a guy gets a little easily irritated.
So we need to cut him some slack, rrriiigghhhhttt???

Men who act this way are all very "little" no matter their size. They are cowards and look for perceived weakness to bully and other than the "president" Sean is the littlest.

arrange a meeting for him with the Black Caucus. Sean Spicer is following Trump's footsteps, trying to belittle her, but she was cool and professional while he was on an angry tirade and spraying spittle on the first row of reporters. ick!

If a whole bunch of them started doing it en masse, it would make a point, at the very least, but hopefully make him lose his shit.

that he feels he can publicly tell April Ryan or anybody else not to shake her head? Spicey is melting down into a puddle. He's a nasty little man in way over his head.
