White House briefing coming up.

[janx]

How will Sarah handle today's vulgar behavior on the part of the president?

[MineralMan]

1. She'll say something like:

"Well, President Trump says what he thinks. That's what got him elected, right?"

Something like that.

[tblue37]

10. She will say that when he is attacked he fights back. nt

[janx]

12. You're probably right.

But I wonder if the press will reference the Megyn Kelly incident.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

2. Do we get to see anyone's face or even hear their voice?

Or is this one of those second hand press conferences they've been testing out lately?

[Vinca]

3. You know what I wish? The press, en masse, would get up and leave when she appears.

[janx]

8. I'd like that too.

But they need to cover it--they need to cover everything.

[Catmusicfan]

11. +100000. I have said that for a long time. All they have to do it once and their executives need to

Support their actions. Basically they need to let this White House know they aren't going to be disrespected.

[MineralMan]

14. I wish that too, but they can't really. They have jobs.

They're expected to report on those charades. Still, I wish they'd do it and just walk.

[bdamomma]

37. yes for real

I wish they would leave to. I read somewhere that probably here that the press in those briefings are getting bullied.

This stupid man is going to cause a confrontation in this country. It's all for his base you know and we outnumber them. Just a mini rant.

[SamKnause]

4. She has already defended him in a previous interview.

Summation;

Everyone attacks Trump.

Everyone has said things that were much worse.

If you attack Trump he will attack back.

[madaboutharry]

5. She'll defend him just like she did this morning on Fox.

"If he gets attacked, he has the right to fight back...." blah, blah, blah.... The enabling is pathetic.

[janx]

(She's late again I think.)

[underpants]

7. Remember kids "farr" means "fire"

[MineralMan]

26. "He's gonna faht farr with faar!" Sara just said it.

And there it is, inarticulately spoken, as expected.

[underpants]

27. I heard it on the radio - her saying it from her Fox News appearance

And it hit me. You just don't hear a lot of public speakers who still have their local accent.

[Corvo Bianco]

38. Her southern heritage has been bible thumped into her since birth.

God I pity the children of preachers

[janx]

29. I'm going to watch it again just so I can hear that again.

[Docreed2003]

9. "When the president is attacked...

He will punch back! He's a fighter and, frankly, he's been torn down and abused more than any other modern president."


That's what they're going with. No apology...No "mea culpa"...they'll fucking double down and expect this to be blown away by the next news cycle.

[hurple]

13. Since it's apparently acceptable behavior now

Every reporter there should refer to her as "you pathetic fat pig" when asking their questions.

See how that plays...

[C_U_L8R]

16. Wait... which eye do I ask the question to?

[WoonTars]

21. Snarf!!!

You owe me one computer screen...!!

[underpants]

28. Oh!

[BumRushDaShow]

35. I almost sprayed a sip of my k-cup cappuccino out of my mouth

[MineralMan]

15. Well, right now Mnuchin is dishing platitudes and slogans.

Not very informative...

[janx]

17. They are going to jump on her about it as soon as she finishes her statements.

10...9...8...

[nolabear]

18. OFFS. She's doing the "Every time an immigrant committed a crime" bullshit again.

Let's hear about the good Americans who, oh, let's say kidnapped, tortured and killed people. Or the mass murderers. Or heck, good old American gang violence. You know, the everyday.

[Kaleva]

19. Questions about Trump's tweets will bury that.

[nolabear]

22. If I was her I'd keep talking too.

It must look like a firing squad out there.

[janx]

23. She's tryin' . n/t

[nolabear]

20. She's starting to look a tad worn down. That job's a killer.

Not having a soul might have something to do with it too. Hollow eyes.

[nolabear]

24. OIC. It's personal to her.

[janx]

25. Bing!

When he is attacked, he attacks back.

[nolabear]

30. Keep going, press. Keep her feet in the fire.

[janx]

31. She's bringing God into the conversation.

How much lower can she go?

[Hieronymus]

34. Yep, she's her father's daughter, all right.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

32. Huckabee: "Donald Trump's not God, so everything he does is excusable."

[Corvo Bianco]

39. You are F*ing kidding-she said that? n/t

[Tommy_Carcetti]

41. I don't know if it was verbatim, but yeah.

She was asked if Donald Trump should continue acting like he does if he wants to be considered a role model, and she responded by saying the only person that's a role model to her kids is God.

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

44. She should tell her Kentucky Fried Ass father to stop talking shit about black

performers. Since, you know, last time I checked they aren't "God" either.

[Corvo Bianco]

45. No kid's role model is God that doesn't even make sense.

And this god of hers has low enough standards that condoning Trump's bullying is fine. Nice, way to continue the Huckabee curse.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

46. Really? When I grow up I always wanted to be the all-knowing, all powerful eternal diety...

.....and with a little hard work, I think I can get there.

[Buns_of_Fire]

42. She came right out and admitted he's not God?

You are SO outta there, Sarah!

[Hieronymus]

33. The press letting Sarah have it at this press conference, about Trump's tweet.

[janx]

36. She's antsy and wants to get out of there.

It must be a tough job, trying to defend the indefensible.

[Paladin]

40. Godawful presser. Really devastating.

I'm pleased to report.

[Kaleva]

43. Your post makes my day.

[Paladin]

47. Glad to be of service. (nt)

[janx]

48. I don't see it that way. We deserve better. This is Twilight Zone material.

really freaked out.

[Paladin]

49. No argument that we deserve better.

The open questions remain when we'll attain something better, and how to go about making it happen. For the moment, I'm pleased with how things went down today, for our opponents.
