Look! I just dropped $1million of bombs on your thread, so stop going on about #Russiagate (Trump cont.)

Sorry about the rubble and orphans

You also have to wonder whether 'top leadership' is giving people what they might interpret as 'licence' to act in such ways.

Axelrod mocks Spicer’s Hitler remarks: "He'll be a topic at many Seder dinners tonight" hill.cm/LYqo1yH

Funny though. I'd be willing to bet that Jared and Ivanka aren't that bothered.

In private they will be, Ginger.

I don't know who is delivering the keynote at the WHCA dinner but they're going to be spoiled for choice.

Fox News silent on Spicer's Hitler comments until a few mins ago, when Beckel mentioned it. Revealed producers didn't include it as a topic

Trump's tweeting again:

@POTUS
Gangs & cartels that flood our country will no longer be able to profit from their lawlessness, turn cities into warzones & harm our people!

(In was in response to this:

Justice Department‏ @TheJusticeDept
Replying to @TheJusticeDept and @CustomsBorder
“Together, we will drastically reduce the danger posed by criminal aliens, gang members, & cartel henchmen.”—Attorney General Sessions)

Yes I believe Sessions referred to the Mexican people as "filth."

Trump has trafficked in anti-Semitism since the start of his campaign. Sean Spicer's comments cannot be removed from this context. 1/

Trump (& those close to him) have a clear pattern of using anti-Semitic dog-whistles to appeal to his nationalist supporters. 2/ pic.twitter.com/p8c446OkMB

Trump's closing campaign ad was deeply anti-Semitic. As @TPM noted, "This is intentional & by design." 3/

The phrase 'America First' has deeply anti-Semitic roots. The ADL asked Trump to stop using it. He made it his official campaign slogan. 4/ pic.twitter.com/J62gugIZcm

Thanks, Pain.

Meanwhile....

It's Easter egg rolling time...

www.nytimes.com/2017/04/11/us/politics/white-house-easter-egg-roll-trump.html

Will it be a success?

The clip of spicer being mentioned on fox is worth watching just to see how quickly they want to skip past it.

I've been keeping my eye on the Roll. My suspicion is that they'll try to say it's a 'Return to Basic American Values' - and that it will be hosted by Ivanka and Jared. They can't really compete with You Know Who and his wife who got down and read stories etc.

Tomorrow's WH reaction today: Look, Sean Spicer is someone who played a very limited role for a very limited amount of time

He's right.

I reckon Spicey's card is now heavily marked. The trouble is that they can't 'de-board' him at the moment - it would look weak. (And he knows where all the deposition sites are.) Nice dilemma.

I found this article about Robert Bentley, now ex-Alabama Governor interesting:

How Alabama's 'Love Guv' Failed Scandal Management And Sealed His Fate
talkingpointsmemo.com/muckraker/alabama-governor-robert-bentley-fail-scandal-management-mark-sanford

For Americans, this may all be basic knowledge, but as a Brit it's fascinating to see the dynamics of US sex scandals. Not the same as ours.

Thanks, Pausing. Interesting piece.

Even in his apology on CNN, Spicer said Trump is attempting to "destabilize the region", when your job is words, this is a disaster.
