I don't know what to make of it really.
The idea that something really big might happen just kind of ..blows my mind. Like it's just always been so so unlikely and now ..

Sheez, Ginger. What a pity that Dad doesn't appreciate him, eh?

Now that AP confirms Putin knew about the Syrian chemical airstrike beforehand, is it OK to note the pilot was then killed by a car bomb? twitter.com/AsaadHannaa/status/851183837916909574

Spicer says it's not for the president to say whether or not Assad is a war criminal, it's for a court to decide

So he'll call Susan Rice a criminal but not Assad. Got it.

White House further walking back Spicer's 'barrel bomb' red line, saying "nothing has changed in our posture."

cozietoesie · 10/04/2017 22:39

They're 'walking back' something Spicey said?

cozietoesie · 10/04/2017 22:41

Is it 29 April for the WHCA dinner? Smile

White House further walking back Spicer's 'barrel bomb' red line, saying "nothing has changed in our posture

Now that would be an interesting question to ask.

Does the President think it's ok to use barrel bombs to kill babies but it's wrong to use chemical weapons to kill babies?

cozietoesie · 10/04/2017 22:53

45 doesn't actually care about babies. He just wanted to play with his 'toys'.

A article about Susan Mitchell, the WH reporter.
www.politico.eu/article/thats-the-job-we-are-adversarial-susan-glasser-donald-trump-journalism/

"Mitchell says that after covering every president since Jimmy Carter, Donald Trump is by far the most hostile to the press—and to the truth—she’s ever seen, with a White House staff using the briefing room as a daily disinformation machine and a president and secretary of state outright undermining the ability of reporters to do their job.

“It is totally sui generis. I’ve never seen anything like this,” Mitchell says. “I have never seen anything like this where people just flat-out lie. You know, black is white and white is black, and they mislead you. It’s really disconcerting to see the podium in the White House briefing room being used to mislead or misdirect or obfuscate.”

cozietoesie · 11/04/2017 02:10

Out of interest, does anyone know whether Spicey is also avoiding the WHCA dinner?

TheClaws · 11/04/2017 06:50

Don't know, Cozie. I don't know if he'd be brave enough to go!

It's seemed quite slow on here the last day or so, but it feels to me a bit like the calm before the storm. I know it's a cliché. But I feel something is about to happen - does anyone else feel that too?

Lweji · 11/04/2017 07:38

That's because something always happens.

I know, Lweji, I just have an odd sense of waiting - like we've all collectively drawn our breath. I've had nightmares though. Here, I'll give myself a biscuit Biscuit

GingerIvy · 11/04/2017 08:42

There was an article recently that stated all the WH staff would not be attending the WHCA dinner to support the president's views.

Newsweek is saying "North Korea warns the US that it is ready for war..."

Weird. My laptop won't "copy/paste" today. I give up. I'm too busy multitasking to fix it.
