Once again confirming we are witness to one of the most ludicrous eras in history...



After Spicer was voted off "Dancing," @realDonaldTrump deleted his 8:33pm tweet urging people to "vote for Sean." Trump had written, "He is a great and very loyal guy who is working very hard." Now he's posted a new message: "A great try by @seanspicer. We are all proud of you!"




Looks like this endorsement was as successful as your last one!


Ladies and Gentlemen the supposed leader of the supposed free world...
Maybe in one way - if he stays focused on such bollocks, maybe less harm can be done. But the ego busting on this is pathetic, deleting a tweet cause the American people did not vote for Spicer on his command?? Good Grief.

And for the bonus round...

Thanks!

Have you read Rick Wilson's book? Even though he's fundamentally a Republican asshole, it's a pretty good read.

He's pretty funny, especially when he goes after Shitler.

But I am leery of all Never-Trump republicans. I especially don't like it when they tell us who to nominate as the Democratic presidential candidate. Their party gave us Dump, for god's sake! They can fuck right off.

respect for their office, plus SELF respect. They find legitimate employment. Who goes on national TV, showing everyone how incompetent they are? Gop. Seems they will do anything for $$$$. I can envision Mulvaney doing this. Maybe Beavis and Butthead once daddy's money is all gone to pay lawyers.

Then it became less about the learning to dance angle and more about the tons of makeup and outfits and finding the dumbest politicians to compete.

Sean Spicer only proved once again that he's willing to make a fool of himself just to keep his 15 minutes of fame alive. I guess hiding in the bushes wasn't debasing enough for him.

I was watching it then. Our house burned down in August 2007 and the next year or so after that is a blur.

There have been some really wonderful women contestants and a few men, but some of the women could perform up to the level of professional. Jennifer Grey was fabulous. So were Bindi Irwin, Kelly Pickler, and Meryl Davis. And there have been some remarkable former pro football players who won, including Emmitt Smith, Hines Ward and Donald Driver.

He would accept --- anything for money.

Republicans think they can clean up their filth via MSM entertainment. Fortunately people still have brains.
