Her little 'performance' today as the Propaganda Minister of the Trump admin should cause her to be shunned from society.

resign? Bet that's pissing blotus off.. .. then they've got spicer and his facts. Quite the trio there and throw Rince into mix and holy shite!

They thought their little scam to lie straight face to the American People and Gaslight them into thinking they're going crazy was going so well.

The campaign is over and they have no clue what to do. I'm feeling better now that they are getting called out and trashed in the media. Now american can finally see what we have for a prez.

This is what I observed...

JHFC.. I don't know how the hell I made it through

that whiny twit's gish galloping.. what a boring fuck@

she's going to have to "rethink their relationship".. damn if I never have to listen to her again it will be too soon.

todd was like a dog with bone though.. he did keep coming back to it through the whole interview while she lied her stupid ass off about everything under the Sun.

Too bad MKL III gave blotus cover.

I hate her gd guts for lying about President Obama

I guess it doesnt play well to try to fight the journos rather than just lie about Hillary. I remember her saying Mean stuff about Trump before she joined his tean. She is just a phony. Of course she hates Obama. He will always be more important than her President.

come straight at her.. match her word for word with truths against her lies. As soon as she goes off on one of her many tangents.. the Dem calls her out on each and every lie and tells her to stop whining it's not dignified.

Too bad there was a mistake about the MLK bust being taken from the Oval.. she'll never let them forget that. But, they should just say.. it was a mistake CON way.. get over it.. stop dwelling on it.

she's so quick to paint herself and blotus as victims

If there is such a person.. wonder if Joy could take her on?

They think they're being slick and "mind control" geniuses. They're evil enough to want to do that, but they're too stupid to do it right.

What could *** be?

We already have alt-right.

How about:

alt-compassion
alt-reality
alt-emoluments
alt-bigly
alt-human rights
alt-Trump
alt-Constitution

I tried to be amused by the spin, deflect, then counter attack mode of operation. I just can't. Your paraphrase of Will helps a bit.

When will Trump's campaign be over? When everyone kisses his (t)Rump? It is never going to f**king happen!

I am trying to keep my eye on the ball, picking issues rather than just letting this crap get to me. I am not successful this morning.

Ooooh that smell
Can't you smell that smell
Ooooh that smell
The smell of excrement surrounds you

Apologies to Lynyrd Skynyrd

they tend to be based on dedication to the leader and abject displays of that dedication in the form of fawning applause and cheering are required on a regular basis.

The Kremlin Don Show produces about as much "alternative facts" as a Napoleonic cavalry division.

And she knows it. After all, she was dressed that way for the inauguration.
