Of course, they haven’t promised not to keep pushing the rest of the bogus-ness.

Spicer is the best they’re going to do. Talk about a thankless job. The man should win an Oscar.

Well the Russian people have been lied to for 17 years, and if the truth was revealed they would all keel over from being gobbsmacked.

Spicer: Sorry, I misspoke. It was North Korea that was spying on Trump on Obama’s orders.

True. And the reason Spicer puts out the most outrageous garbage imaginable is because he was told to say this by Rump and knows that Rump is watching him in these pressers. What alternative does Spicer have other than do what’s being told of him? Retain his dignity and leave???

Fox News’ Judge Andrew Napolitano didn’t mean to say GCHQ spied on Trump – he meant to say GQ spied on Trump:
Sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Did he apologize, or did he “apple-ogize?”

Another thing. “Judge” Napolitano. He’s been practicing law for 40 years, served 8 years on the Superior Court bench in New Jersey. He didn’t serve long enough to achieve senior status. He resigned. He has no right to the title “Judge,” even in an honorific sense. Just like a Fauxian, claiming status they don’t have.
ETA: The BBC has it right, they refer to him as former judge Napolitano. No capitalization and including the modifier former.

Congress members who are counting on Trump to support them had best consider that his record of screwing everyone for fun and profit now includes the whole world. They will join the contractors who got stiffed, bankers that ate bad loans, and voters who thought a rich SOB would give a fat rat’s fanny about them.

That’s just it. Trump and his regime are indefensible, which makes the press secretary’s job impossible for an honorable person. And lots of honorable or at least sensible people did turn down jobs with this administration. Spicer’s a little weasel to whom lying comes naturally, so he’s hanging in there. I doubt he has anything we’d recognize as dignity. I also don’t think it’s accurate to assume these people think like us down deep and are hypocrites on the surface. I think most of them believe in what they’re doing in a perverted kind of way, and the conflicts they feel are more similar to the normal doubts more ethical people usually have about loved ones, colleagues, causes they believe in. Still, fuck 'im, the lying weasel.

Which, in case you haven’t noticed, is how Trump views the pressers. Entertainment value. He likes Spicer creating a spectacle that encourages people to watch like its some reality TV show.

Some anchor on MSNBC, can’t remember who but after yesterday’s performance she was saying how lots of them knew Spicer when he was at the RNC and knew him to be a nice guy and what a difficult situation he is in here.

The Brits are already quite familiar with the quality of News Corp reporting via Sky and the Daily Sun. It’s pretty well bird cage liner.
