My word, if you watch the video of Melanie swatting his hand away, do you notice that she wants to create so much distance between them that she isn't even walking on the red carpet.

Oooh. I must say I do feel a little sorry for Melania. I know lots of people would say she knew what she was getting into, doing it for greed etc, and they are probably right to a degree, but I still feel sorry for her.

Although, I have to also confess to feeling a bit sorry for Sean Spicer. By all accounts he was well liked and respected in Washington press circles before taking on this most recent job. I mean what a shit job, having your ethical boundaries stretched further & further each day, knowing that you are covering up for a corrupt incompetent. When he gets fired, I wonder will he spill the beans?

cozietoesie · 22/05/2017 20:09

I don't think he'll be fired - he'll be .............realigned. Wink

Beryl I have a fantasy that Angry Spice will be doing a presser one day and just suddenly say "You know what? Fuck this shit!" And then will let loose with all the info Trump doesn't want out.... Grin

cozietoesie · 22/05/2017 20:29

If he does that, he stands no chance at all of further employment, I fear. Wink

Don't be fooled by Trump's Saudi Arabia speech. He's still an Islamophobe. @mehdirhasan comes with the fire: wapo.st/2q3Awrq?tid=ss_tw&utm_term=.3628dc4c32f0

BiglyBadgers · 22/05/2017 21:04

I have decided that the only credible reason why Spicer stays in post is that Trump and co are holding his kitten hostage. I suspect that during every press briefing Kushner is standing just out of camera range with a revolver pointed at its head threatening to shoot it's teeny fluffy brains out if Spicer doesn't get out there and say what he's told.

I can see no other explanation to be honest. Wink
