Discussion: ProPublica Hits Back At Spicer's Trust Denial: 'Any Other Facts You'd Like?'

13 Likes

ā€œJust because a left-wing blog makes the point of something changing doesn’t mean it actually happened. I’m not aware that there was ever a change in the trust.ā€ ~Sean Spicer

Sean, I wonder where the ā€˜smart money’ would come down on your statement? and the corollary is: If you hear Fox News puffing up a piece when the MSM is ignoring it, you really need to assume the piece is bogus.

Sean, you are turning into a bubble boy creature.

I’ll bet Jared Kushner’s dad’s Harvard bribe to get little kiss ass Jared into Harvard (reported at $ 30 M) that Trump is actually doing what he lies about Obama.

Trump is using the Russian FSB to tap the phones of his political enemies in the US - including Paul Ryan, Rand Paul, and anyone that tries to stop his Russian plan.

Same. Just went for $25/month. Added to the growing list of excellent investigative journos and civic groups to recurring donation, support, and/or join:

P.S. your James Burke avatar always makes me smile.

ā€œJust because a boot-licking White House press secretary claims to be unaware of something changing doesn’t mean it didn’t happen.ā€

Here’s the beauty part:

We do no-surprises journalism. We told the Trump Org & WH what we knew and gave them time to explain.They didn’t.

It really shows Spicer to be the dissembler that he truly is.

OT:
http://www.investors.com/politics/trump-approval-plunges-amid-russia-inquiry-obamacare-repeal-failure-ibdtipp-poll/

Last month, 40% of independents approved of the job Trump is doing; just 29% approve today. Among Republicans, Trump’s job approval is 74%, which represents a 14-point decline from last month.
…
He lost significant support among his strongest backers: white men (which dropped from 58% in March to 49% today), and rural America, which went from 56% to 41% today.

Nice retort, really, but if facts were their kryptonite, they’d be laying in a gutter mortally wounded right now.

ā€˜The Spicer Spin’ will kick into high gear and he’ll race past this sucker with reckless abandon.

That list of facts was meant for people that want facts and value them, not SpiceBoy, who is in the deflect fact business.

I’m saying, Go ProPublica Go, but don’t wait to give out juicy facts until Spicer is especially egregious, just toss that shit out daily and widely.

I thought about that but if we have to switch the positions then the anti-Semites won’t read right to left. :laughing:

Just because a right wing press secretary says something doesn’t mean it’s true. In fact, it probably isn’t. Lying, avoidance, fabrications, half-truths are the hallmark of spicer and his cronies. He defends trumpy’s emotional inconsistencies.

The trump Administration can’t handle facts the way normal human do.

Facts? Why are they asking Spicer about facts? He’s a mouthpiece in the grand tradition of Ron Ziegler and Dana Perino. Facts have no place in his professional life.

I seriously hate Twitter. Can someone invent Chortle or something that lets you post 280 characters? God…so tired of seeing ā€˜cut-and-paste’ journalism.
