From the Guardian

Sean Spicer

“Protests will get blown out of the water, and yet an attack or a foiled attack doesn’t necessarily get the same coverage. He’s doing what he can to protect this nation and protect our people. And that’s why I think sometimes the polls don’t reflect what you see on the media.

I am pretty sure that terrorist attacks get coverage - and failed ones do as well.

He needs to move to the UK. The media here would love him.

Pence and Palin. You heard it here first. Wink

GingerIvy · 06/02/2017 23:32

InfoWars is one of those conspiracy theory ones. They've been saying media has been covering up terrorist activities for months. Hmm

GingerIvy · 06/02/2017 23:32

cozie dear god, that WOULD be horrific.

It would be their joint 'healing ministry' - but tasked to continue pushing The Legacy (for internal party consumption.) I can see it now.

Ooops - to make a mistake once is forgivable, twice is bad, three times is ridiculous

It appears that she chalked it up to a mistake because she got caught. Now, of course, she just looks like a liar. (big shock)

amispartacus · 06/02/2017 23:38

Don't forget all those voters who registered in 2 states, voted illegally and all voted for Clinton...

No evidence though.....just a belief.

GingerIvy · 06/02/2017 23:39

ami I have to agree that it's an attempt at voter suppression, sadly.

merrymouse · 06/02/2017 23:42

Conway later acknowledged that she misspoke after the MSNBC interview and meant to say “Bowling Green terrorists.” She also told Cosmopolitan in response to their story: "Frankly they were terrorists in Bowling Green but their massacre took place in Iraq. At least this got clear-thinking people to focus on what did happen in Bowling Green.”

Yes, we can all now recite the differences between what Obama did in 2011 and Trump's ban in 2017.

Conway has to be the mole. #resist.

Bannon, Kushner and Tiffany - #resist?

GingerIvy · 06/02/2017 23:49

I don't think Tiffany is involve in anything covert. I'd be highly surprised if she is trusted with any information. She's been largely overlooked by Trump most of her life, according to all reports that I've seen. He trotted her out in public appearances - but you really only saw her in key moments. It was Ivanka that was front and centre. People would have made comments if she was missing from the group of his children though.

GingerIvy · 06/02/2017 23:53

I guess I'm surprised that they're having this hearing tomorrow. My understanding is that it's only to decide whether or not it will be reinstated while it works it's way to the Supreme Court? I expected them to say it would not go back into effect until it went to Supreme Court. It would be such chaos to have it again reinstated until it's heard by the Supreme Court for them to say "no, it's unconstitutional, we're overturning it" after it was reinstated and many more refused entry or otherwise affected by it.

On a more positive note, it's a more liberal panel, and it's two Dems and one GOP. Fingers crossed.

You'd hope politics didn't come into it and the actual LAW could be applied. Law should be blind to politics....
