There are loads of other threads. But MN aren't highlighting them. Why not? I demand to know.

poo, missed Angry Spice. Is there a recorded version anywhere

Part of that:

On facts.... (It's on CNN)

Google should be held legally responsible for this misinformation, with hefty fines , they won't do anything about it otherwise.

Where I've worked, one thing that people would never do is to make things up. They might try the usual tactics of not directly answering a question or answering a different question - but, squirm as they might, they would never actually lie. This is monstrous what's happening.

The net isn't Google's responsibility, Destinys. They're not liable.

From Spicer:
The administration is concerned about how tax payers' money is being spent.

(except how much security costs and how much tax payers's money is syphoned to Trump's hotels and towers to accommodate said security, for instance)

I love how the different journalists chased Spicer about Gorsuch (I can't believe I've learnt how to spell it) and Trump's comments on the judiciary.

I still think EP made a big mistake in that nomination.

I'm currently watching "brain dead" on amazon prime. The first couple of episodes are very funny and have cheered me up a bit. It's a satirical show with a silly sci-fi explanation for the shit show that was US politics in 2016. I recommend it.

You can tell Spicer and Barbie are starting to lie when they start stuttering.
Everything that comes out of their mouths then is amazing. Things like "alternative facts" and "praised by both sides".

He's not long for the Briefing Room. McCarthy was just too good.

If you do end up watching make sure you read the episode titles. They are hilarious!

White House says Donald Trump will continue to attack the judiciary

Not happy with "she was counselled" apparently, as tons of people are filing complaints with appropriate agencies re Patriot Barbie.

Well they're both on the way out - just a question of when. There will likely be a sidelining 'promotion' or so first.

Don't be fooled. Republicans will only behead KellyAnne Conway to deflect attention from all the far worse ethical violations of Trump & co.

That's likely true. But if El Presidente decides he's not keen.............

What worries me is that they will replace her with someone who is just more proficient at lying and disguising the truth

Sean Spicer "one of the things you'll see from this President is RESPECT for the TAXPAYER."

If Trump RESPECTED the taxpayer he'd pay taxes!

Oh Dear.

Every time he loses his rag, he's going to be reported as "going Melissa McCarthy." I absolutely love it.
