.@PressSec Spicer is essentially saying it was not the responsibility of the transition or the incoming administration to vet Michael Flynn.

Spicer: Pence never said he didn't know about Flynn's lobbying, he meant he didn't know he registered as foreign agent.(Not what Pence said)

Spicer says "press is being invited" to Tillerson's trip.....and then adds that the press can just fly commercially to each of the cities.

Across - "And yet this GOP Congressman has three children. And I doubt very much that he demanded that his wife reimburse him for the cost of her maternity coverage."

That's because in GOP land there are two types of women who get pregnant - respectably married Christian women whose children have fathers, and the rest of us who reproduce by parthenogenesis, no man involved.

I have a Swiftian modest proposal. Women foot the bill for pregnancy but are offered an amniocentisis at 14 weeks - at which point they are offered a sex-selective abortion and complete reimbursement of costs to date if the foetus is male. Because we wouldn't want to undermine the belief that no man, ever, has benefited from maternity care - even that of his own mother - now, would we? (In case there's anyone who's hard of thinking - that is intended as satire to show how batshit crazy the original claim was).

And there is the first strike on Pence's card.

Shock I guess we can supplement The Handmaid's Tale with Gattaca as popular culture representing another aspect of the GOP's ideal future society.

This is a bit of a delayed reaction but was anyone else reminded of Melissa McCarthy when Sean spicer used the printouts of Obamacare and DonTcare to illustrate how much better the latter was?

This is my first attempt at combining images

Not a laughing matter: without evidence, repeating claim that fed agencies have lied about jobs numbers in the past.

You can do this as a candidate or private citizen, but not as President or a White House official.

RE: Spicer quoting Trump on job numbers: "They may have been phony in the past but it's very real now."
