Press briefing coming up if anyone has the stomach for it.

Live presser just started. It's going to be a rocky ride after his tweet that was just dreadful

It’d only ever be rocky if it were constrained by having to tell the truth or if they had the capacity for shame. Luckily for SHS and this administration, they have neither.

Sanders knows there is such a thing as the Hatch Act.

where do you guys watch live press conferences?

I bet you have access I don't, weanh.

I suspect it would be bad for your blood pressure.

Wot, watching live press conf or battling with the 16 pieces of software needed in order to watch live press conference?

I am addicted to the Brexit & Trump sagas, but I can turn them off if they annoy me.

"Only if your mind is in the gutter," Sarah Sanders says of those who thought POTUS was suggesting something salacious by saying Gillibrand "would do anything" for campaign contributions.

It pains me, but I agree that observers are too quick to jump to stating Trump meant sexual bargain when he wrote "would do anything.". My standard of proof that he must have meant sexual anything is a lot higher than that.

Doesn't stop him being a pillock, of course.

ragged This link is the easiest way to watch the press briefings. I can't stand the Youtube link because of the comments which give me the rage.

That was such a frustrating presser, SHB at her worst

I think, considering he is such an idiot, he is fully capable of exploiting ambiguity. Sometimes accidentally (because he often makes no sense) and sometimes deliberately (because he has learnt from business deals and legal encounters to be a slippery fucker.)

p.s. ragged I'm in the UK and it works for me

Personally I think his comment was sexual because he wanted to hit back and he knew this would inflame

Everyone in that room knew what 45 had meant. So did The Huck. (Which was why she blustered a lot.)

Yep.

Very helpful, thanks Roussette (I should have figured out WH would have own feed).

The F word.

Fekko, you watching Tchaikovsky by mistake gave me a giggle.

Re Scrotus 'do anything' Gillibrand comment, I think we all 'jump' to the conclusion that he was being salacious based on his attitude regarding women-as-objects and his past behaviour towards them, especially those he feels are in an 'inferior' position to him.

Sarah Huckleberry should be ashamed of herself. Every time this shit comes up she proves once again that she has no moral compass, just like her boss.

He has form. There is context.
