wow
Everything the entire administration does manages to be simultaneously completely terrifying and objectively funny. Very strange feeling
I like how they keep saying 31million people watched it, as if that’s a measure of support, rather than people watching an absolute car-crash.
They’re actual children aren’t they? JFC
Think it’s just more evidence that these people really weren’t expecting to win and aren’t entirely sure what to do now they have. This certainly isn’t the person an administration with a clear and cohesive plan for government appoints as its mouthpiece.
Beyond saying stupid shit in the first place it’s the incompetence or possibly arrogance it takes for nobody to think it an idea to cover tracks now in power that confuses me. Maybe you don’t have to worry about things catching up with you if you’ve decided to lie about everything despite what tangible evidence exists.
this whole crowd thing is just a big fucking distraction. Yeah the ‘alternative facts’ thing is particularly mental, but its not even the most mental thing he’s done since inaugurated.
bobby finger from jezebel unearthed some really, really great tweets from him on this weeks ‘who? weekly’ podcast (been talking about this since it started, please tell me i’ve convinced at least someone else on here to listen to it), really good podcasting
starts at about 13.50 https://player.fm/series/who-weekly-1287390/sean-spicer-anwar-hadid
He really does come across as a shouty child. There must be some footage somewhere from a film that would make good comparison material…
“It has been reported that Spicer has a habit of chewing and swallowing up to 35 pieces of Orbit cinnamon flavored gum every morning”
I think part of it is that the team in charge are not part of the GOP establishment, and so they don’t care about legacy or winning further elections in the same way.
His team are a mix of grifters and people who genuinely think that a reckoning would sort the wheat from the chaff. They are out to make as much as they can and/or cause as much damage as they can.
Oh yeah, there’s a quote somewhere from Spicer where he says that his doctor says it’s okay.
Just ridiculous.
‘We weren’t by any means trying to mislead anyone. We asked for a set of facts, we thought that the facts were going in, in the time we were given to respond or in the time that we wanted to respond that news cycle, were accurate’
How can he be a press secretary if he can’t even structure a sentence? What a prize twat.
Spicer’s twitter history is AMAZING.
Actually wait, this is my favourite.
really struggling to understand how some shitmuncher like this has managed to rise through the ranks to be in a top government job
basically every thread i post in on the social board at the moment is me just saying i can’t get my head around what’s going on tbh
oh he’s live now
christ he’s such a cunt
