Discussion: WATCH LIVE: Sarah Huckabee Sanders Gives Press Briefing At 3:30 PM ET

OT, completely, but with Halloween coming up, if some kid came to your door for trick or treat dressed as SHS or T rump, would you still feel bound by tradition to give them candy?

Not at all. Just very matter-of-fact. Sorry you can’t take it.

A tactic in which she outdoes me every time.

I didn’t criticize you. I merely stated that you should stop being a scold. Nor did I state, infer or imply that you didn’t have the right to state your opinion. You have revealed yourself to be thin-skinned and judgmental. Sounds awfully Republican to me.

Jeez, give it a fucking rest already.

LOL. So cuz I don’t agree with your style of comments I’m a Repuglican. I’m sorry you took such offense. I was simply responding to being called a pearl clutcher. Seems like that is usually considered a criticism. Like I said, whatever. I am a scold when it comes to unkindness. No way to get around the fact that constantly harping on someone’s weight is unkind from my point of view. Apparently you see it differently. I should not have brought your sister into it. I apologize for that. And now I will cease and desist as you are clearly someone who will never consider my point of view from any angle. I can see yours somewhat, I just disagree with it. My sisters are somewhat overweight and they are shamed every day for it. I find that appalling. That is the sum total of my point. I should never have engaged with you or mentioned your sister. Again, I apologize for that as it took the discussion personal. Which is exactly what I dislike. Which just goes to show that I am as bad as all other commenters. I just wish people would stop with the fat shaming. That’s all I really wanted to say and I should have stuck to it. But when I’m immediately told I’m a pearl clutcher, I of course responded negatively. My mistake. Anyway, I will go back to not commenting. Like I said, every so often I just feel like I have to say, yes, that is unkind despite all justifications to the contrary.

I’m sympathetic to your argument, and I try not to disparage people based on things that they can’t change and don’t speak to their character. But posters’ feelings run high during these briefings and it may not be what a teacher would call the most teachable moment. She’s the mouthpiece for an essentially authoritarian government, and she lies like she breathes. I can’t justify remarks about her weight. But it may not be the most productive situation to have this discussion in. :confused:

I will say in some tight jeans and a midriff hugging sequined top Sanders would be very popular in an urban music video.

Oh, just stop. You’re not doing yourself any favors with your basic mean spirited nonsense.

It’s why political cartoonists and satirists refer to this sort of thing as ā€œcaricatureā€.

For example, the incomparable Steve Bell and his very naughty and funny treatment of Teresa May.

When folks look and act like caricatures, they get caricatured.

Not my intent, Sweetcheeks.

You clearly know nothing about me. I’m not mean-spirited in any way—but I do enjoy nonsense from time to time. That’s why I read your comment.

Seriously, dude…

I’m fat and guess what… I think if you are going to stand in front of the nation and play defense for the dopey, fatfuck in the Oval Office, double down on calling war widows liars, and try and sell the travesty that is this administration as ā€œdoing good and historic thingsā€

Being chided on your size and fashion sense is a mercy to what I would prefer seeing done.

(P.s. the same shit was said about Spicy and even gets hurled at trump on the daily and no one gave a shit, or at least I didn’t see you saying to lay off when it was them)

To put another way… they say beauty is only skin deep, but SHS has shown she is ugly down to her soul just like every one else in Trump’s orbit… so I feel no shame in pointing out all of her imperfections, Mental, moral, philosophical,and physical

Yeah, but we all think you should really carry that plate on the floor in the back seat of your car, the one with hardened spaghetti on it, into the house. It’s been there long enough, OK?
