Did I read right that Assad is using Saring on the innocent, unlike Hitler? Shock

cozietoesie · 11/04/2017 20:23

I'm sorry. Was Spicey trying to (favourably) compare bringing people 'in-centre' to dispose of them as opposed to dropping gas on their homes?

Lweji · 11/04/2017 20:26

Ups, I don't know how sarin became Saring. I'm not even on my phone, but the laptop! Doh.

First rule of talking to the press club:

"Do NOT compare anything to Hitler"

That is all... simple Hmm

It really is jaw dropping.

I think Spicer only watched one bit of one episode of The West Wing, and thought Josh was doing a great job.

It will be interesting to see what happens in Kansas and Georgia votes...

Democrats hope to deliver Trump stinging defeats in special elections
House races in Kansas and Georgia will test whether anger at Trump will translate into votes.

Adam Schiff‏ @RepAdamSchiff
Never thought I would say this, but Sean Spicer should go back to talking about crowd size at the inauguration.

AcrossthePond55 · 11/04/2017 20:49

Ok, so let me get this straight. Gassing people you've rounded up and detained isn't as 'bad' as dropping gas from an airplane because the people Hitler rounded up weren't 'his' people? As in they were 'others'?

Makes complete sense when you consider the 'othering' Spicy's boss and his cohorts have been doing to minorities here in the US, doesn't it?

Spicer says Trump won't weigh in "pro or con" on #unitedAIRLINES, so as not to "prejudice outcomes." But Bill O'Reilly did nothing wrong.

GingerIvy · 11/04/2017 20:50

Oh dear god, Angry Spice, stop while you're behind. Do not add to the awfulness. Seriously!

OnTheDarkSideOfTheSpoon · 11/04/2017 20:51

Rounded up in those infamous "holocaust centres" across!

cozietoesie · 11/04/2017 20:52

It shows that Spicey doesn't actually care about the issues - he's trying to conduct himself as if this was a technical exercise. (And getting No marks for that, either.)

GingerIvy · 11/04/2017 20:52

I think both Mattis AND Spicer should stop now...

Sec. Mattis asked why it's OK Assad can kill w/ conventional weapons, but not CW: "There is a limit to what we can do."

Mattis emphasizing repeatedly that US policy is ONLY to deter CW use by Assad. Any other atrocities are apparently fine.

I posted earlier perhaps Spicer isn't as ignorant/sociopathic as he seems; he proves me wrong w a hideous statement: twitter.com/thehill/status/851879556898279424

Anne Frank Centre is calling for Angry Spice to be fired.

If the White House thinks Assad is worse than Hitler, would Trump have rejected Jewish refugees from the Holocaust?

I may be wrong but isn't there a UN resolution or something about the use of CW and Syria? Which does allow for another country to take action but not for other types of weapons?

would Trump have rejected Jewish refugees from the Holocaust
FDR did, sadly. (and I love FDR and Eleanor)
