Everything this woman is saying is a lie. She knows it. We know it.

I am sorry but this White House briefing is BULL SHIT. Does the Administration think we are stupid? I am insulted. And I. Just. Can’t.
— Symone D. Sanders (@SymoneDSanders) May 10, 2017
White House says they’ve talked to “countless” FBI agents that had lost faith in Comey. I haven’t talked to anyone in the FBI who says that.

The White House deputy press secretary just said Comey committed “atrocities.” Atrocities. pic.twitter.com/mVGnavpz49

The “atrocity” is that there’s another nepotism hire in the White House. Right, @GovMikeHuckabee? https://t.co/2DoNV6jhQ8

To be fair, candidate Trump was different from President Trump on China, NATO, NAFTA, US embassy in Israel as well as Comey

I wonder if the constant lying is getting to Spicey, and that’s why he hid in the bushes last night, and Sanders, who seems to have even fewer scruples about bald faced lying, is doing the briefing today?

True, but I don’t think they take the time to carefully craft their lies. They just go for it.

We’re being led by a bunch of sociopaths. In their minds, they can’t understand why they’re being criticized because they don’t believe they did anything wrong. So long as they could spin up a bullshit excuse for firing Comey, they feel it was totally legit and think people are getting bent out of shape over nothing.

Johanssen wasn’t a big star when she was born.
Edit: I got who had the name mixed up in my head.
I got my oldest son’s name from a Terry Brooks novel. The year after he was born, “Walker, Texas Ranger” came out. Everyone asks if he was named after a character, even though that was the last name of the character on TV.

Jersey City Mayor Balks at Tax Break for Kushners
The Democratic mayor of New Jersey’s second-largest city, who has had his ups-and-downs with the state’s volatile governor, Chris Christie, is now threatening to stymie luxury development dreams of the family of President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
Steven Fulop, the mayor of Jersey City, went public on Sunday with his opposition to the Kushners’ request for hefty tax breaks for a pair of towers that would contain 1,500 luxury apartments. Mr. Fulop said in a posting on his Facebook page that his administration was “not supportive” of the abatement deal the developers sought.
The Kushner Companies — which Jared Kushner, Ivanka Trump’s husband, led before resigning in January to advise Mr. Trump — is a partner in the group proposing the project, known as One Journal Square. Over the weekend, Mr. Kushner’s sister Nicole Meyer mentioned her brother’s service to the company while she pitched the project to prospective investors in China.

She should use Bullshit Spice’s big collared suit and just rotate it. Front is the suit, the back is the backwards religious chic sack clothe ensemble. Just keep spinning it round.

re: #57 Belafon

Of course. Had Comey been fired by either Obama or Clinton, the US Right and 99.999% of the mainstream media would have taken that to be definitive proof of a (D) cover-up.

Right at the end, it would be OK if the wig actually started slipping. What if Huckabee-Sanders is just Spicer?
re: #50 The Vicious Babushka
Scarlett Johanssen was not a big star in 2011?
I couldn’t remember her first big roles so I checked. I didn’t realize she was in her first film in 1994 a fantasy comedy called North, which I never saw. They credit her first staring role in a film called Manny & Lo, another I never saw. I didn’t really know of her until Lost in Translation in 2003.
She was born in 1983…so she got an early start.

She’s probably taller than Spicer.
Dear Ralph Northam campaign: I appreciate the invite, but I really don’t want to go to the Northam-Tim Kaine fundraiser on Saturday. That’s the second voice mail I’ve gotten, along with a couple e-mails.
Could Trump appoint Chris Christie to be Director of the FBI? If three GOP Senators wouldn’t vote no for such an obvious corrupt political hack, there is no hope.
re: #3 jaunte
“countless” as in “none” or “too many to count”?
I’m guessing the first while passing it off as the second.
re: #23 The Vicious Babushka
That Quinnipiac poll is brutal. (I must be a latent sadist because I am thanking you for showing it to me.) Trump still has Republicans, and (just) white men, but the numbers are tanking. And that was before the latest shenanigans.

This is an Administration that sent Tom Price on the news shows to say that cutting $880 billion from Medicaid will enhance Medicaid coverage. There is literally no lie too big for these people to tell.
re: #57 Belafon

You can look at the Obama administration for proof of this. There were very very few people actually fired by Obama, and only one who honestly wasn’t let go for good cause - Shirley Sherrod in wake of what turned out to be a completely phony Brietbart story.
re: #47 lawhawk
I wonder how much of that 80% is just mindlessly going along with the fact he’s got an R after his name. If the GOP congress turned on him, might they as well, just to go along with the rest of their sports team party?
re: #68 petesh
Still, 82% of GOPers approve of Trump in that poll, which means that the disapproval rating by everyone else is off the charts.7% of Democrats approve. 29% of independents approve.
Likewise, just 31% of women approve.
The trend is getting slowly worse, but that’s like a turtle in a pot of boiling water kind of way.
That poll’s also brutal about how the GOP is handling their job in Congress. Overall rating of 22%, with just 9% Democrats approving, and 54% of GOPers approving (though one has to wonder that dissatisfaction among some GOP is because they haven’t declared martial law and run the Democrats up against the wall yet).
Approval of Democrats in Congress is 10 points higher than GOP.
43% of people over age 65 approve of Trump (the highest of any age cohort). That’s the Fox News demographic too.

That’s actually why she lies. Christianists are trying to destroy America, and remake it in their delusional, regressive, image. They’ve been at it for decades, and no lie is too big for the fanatically religious.
re: #35 FormerDirtDart
@JesseFFerguson 58% is horrifyingly low, considering how damaging this administration is to America. Too many Americans hate our freedom.
