Not that Spicer isn't a pathetic sad sack and horrible at his job, but I mean, if the guy wants to meet the Pope, let him meet the Pope.

I swear, either they have something on Spicer and are forcing him to do this job while humiliating him in the process, or maybe he's some sort of undercover mole. Otherwise, there's no excuse for letting them abuse him like that.

Send him out one more time giving him a ludicrous list to read and THEN firing.

The rumors have been flying around as you know. This would be pure Trump if he did this now.

Yes I know, he signed up for this but from day one he's a running joke and no one takes him seriously. Even my nonpolitical buddies goof on him. The guy looks like he could pop a blood vessel at a moments notice.

After the first few sentences, my mouth dropped open and I nearly dropped my iPad. What on earth is this BS Artist talking about? Was he on the same trip?? This is propaganda in its most basic level. Just tell complete lies, demonstrably false tales and pure flights of fantasy. I honestly think this is the worst Daily Briefing Barf Fest I've ever heard. How Spice Boy looks himself in the mirror without withdrawing in shame is beyond me. His reputation is destroyed.

It's surely not the embarrassment we all watched in horror. He must have been off in a parallel universe. Or drunk. Or in a coma.

Amazed that the press corps hasn't erupted in guffaws.

Spicey has spent the first 10 minutes of the press conference listing the 'accomplishments' of the orange shitstain over the past week.

It is coming across as the morning announcements at a Jr. High school.

Edit to add:

I fucking pray the first question is, "can you review the cafeteria menu for the week?"

Gerald Ford was not elected. He was appointed VP with the resignation of Agnew, then assumed the Presidency when Nixon resigned.
Jimmy Carter defeated him for the election in 1976.

But, yes, he was honorable and not "jail-worthy!"

PS: Upon "re-read" I DO see the "and/or!"

Remember the statement Hope Hicks put out yesterday
https://www.democraticunderground.com/10029133727


WH statement: "President Trump has a magnetic personality and exudes positive energy"

“President Trump has a magnetic personality and exudes positive energy, which is infectious to those around him,” Hope Hicks, a White House spokeswoman, said in a statement. “He has an unparalleled ability to communicate with people, whether he is speaking to a room of three or an arena of 30,000. He has built great relationships throughout his life and treats everyone with respect. He is brilliant with a great sense of humor . . . and an amazing ability to make people feel special and aspire to be more than even they thought possible.”

Just swimming in a tide pool of an alternate universe.

Amazing. But I guess the pres will be pleased.

or the shove
or the golf cart

Or Trump basically taking a leak on the 9/11 monument in Brussels by not affirming Article 5.

THEN a German Chancellor publicly says they can't trust us any more.

This is one for the books.

asks him flat out why he's lying, and offers to see himself out because he's not coming back, then gets up and leaves and half the press corps shrugs and walks out.

I wish Jim Acosta had asked Spicy whether he knows that we all saw the photo of the piglizard flipping the Italian PM. Just fer shits'n'giggles.
