I don’t think anyone else could fill Clovis’s shoes. Or pants.

You’d think a White House press secretary would be fast enough on their feet to offer an answer like “I haven’t been told otherwise”, which would be (1) true (2) fair and (3) letting somebody else step on that flaming bag of poop, but Donald Trump is definitely not sending his best.

Clovis is no scientist. Disgusting that he even is considered for this position.

Putin: I like Nom.
Trump: Me too. He is in.

Sara Sanders’ hideous eye make-up on tee vee today is testament to the tackiness the current WH chooses to represent POTUS. Those eye lashes, look like tarantulas, spiders…something crawly and creepy. These people are so sloppy clueless, out there and, as I said tacky. She can’t even give a cogent answer, an auto-moton blurting out. Sean was at least colorful, well, she is too in a goolish sort of way. Being Halloween I suppose makes it is ok? I don’t know.

What? Do you really expect Drumpf to appoint someone for a position who is actually qualified for that position. That might mean that he or she would would know more than our dear alt-president. A low bar I grant you, hence the appointment of grossly incompetent and inexperienced nominees.

Russia and Papadopoulos aside, Clovis should be investigated for Fraud for trying to pass himself off as a scientist.

Not to the FBI he hasn’t. He’s been a cooperative witness to the Senate Intel Commitee according to Pat Robertson, the Republican Chair of the Agriculture Committee, a totally unbiased observer… /s
