Spicer is reminding me of some dude-bro who keeps failing at apologizing to his GF.

"What the fuck did you just call me?"

"I called you a bitch, but only because you're acting bitchy."

"Try again."

"Look, you're taking my comment out of context. I'm not saying you ARE a bitch, I'm just saying you can ACT like a bitch."

"One more time."

"Ok, I apologize for calling you a bitch. I don't want this to distract you from giving me a BJ. We cool?"

I want them to find me one time where he asked a follow up question based on the answer given by the person he is interviewing and not just moving on to the next question on his list.
 
I don't get why you get Sean Spicer as press secretary he's so unbelievably bad at his job.

Every time I listen to his word salad I feel myself getting stupider.

That Germany gassing Jews line was clearly an executive branch talking point, I heard Mattis say a similiar thing about WW2 Germany during his briefing as well.

Just Spicer over flubbed it.

Anyone know who the woman in the front is? The other two women know they are hearing fuckery, but the one in front is just shaking her head up in down in agreement.

I'm watching the conference now.

So far, that lady in the front is the only reporter that calls him out on his bullshit comment.

Edit: WAIT. HOLD THE FUCKING PHONE.

Spicer really did call the concentration camps "Holocaust Centers"?? That wasn't just a joke?

I think that what the President means is that the media takes factual information and repackages it in a way that confuses and misleads the American people to direct, produce and maintain a circus. At that point it's not even news. The facts have gone through so many filters and biases that they're pretty much fake at that point.

I think what the President means is that he's a whiny paranoid incompetent manchild who can quite literally not go a few days without lying, and doesn't like this pointed out when he constantly does it. So he labels everything and anything critical of him fake. Because he's an idiot.
 
I think Drumpf and his whole team of incompetent, racist, lying bigots who only look after themselves are one of the biggest living jokes with actual political power in the recent years.

Any normal job employee would be fired immediately and would not be able to work in any position anything related to that.

Not gonna lie but comedians like John Oliver or any other respectible journalist/night host already exposed basically every monthly/weekly (some even daily) how Donald and his friends/relatives and businesses and ties make the world greatest nation a huge disaster.

How long does this season of "American idiots" will continue to run despite the ratings and failures?
 
Did anything even provoke this, or did he just trip and fall down this mountain himself

Yeah, that's what made him going out day 1 and browbeating them on the inauguration such a bonehead move

Remember that West Wing episode where Josh does the briefing instead of CJ and it is an unmitigated disaster?

Spicer tops that every single episode.

Should not really be a surprise that the WH is doing media blitz to drum up support for crashing Assad's party. Destabilization is most def on the agenda, right behind manipulating truths for sway of public opinion.
 
I don't even know how to respond to these threads anymore..how could someone be so astronomically dense....???
 
Going to admit to ignorance on WWII history. Obviously gas chambers, but did Hitler use chemical weapons in warfare?

This is NOT a devils advocate post or in any way an attempt to excuse what he said. I am legitimately curious.

From the Wikipedia article on chemical warfare:

In accordance with The Geneva Protocol of 1925, Nazi Germany refrained from the tactical use of chemical and biological weapons in war, possibly due to the personal experiences of Adolf Hitler as a sergeant in the Kaiser's army where he was gassed by British troops in 1918.

...

One reported incident indicates the German army eventually used poison gas on survivors of the Battle of Kerch on the Eastern Crimean peninsula. The gas warfare was conducted by the Wehrmacht's Chemical Forces and organized by a special detail of SS troops with the help of a field engineer battalion. Chemical Forces General Ochsner reported to German command in June 1942 that a chemical unit had taken part in the battle. After the battle in mid-May 1942, roughly 3,000 Red Army soldiers and Soviet civilians not evacuated by sea were besieged in a series of caves and tunnels in the nearby Adzhimuskai quarry. After holding out for approximately three months, "poison gas was released into the tunnels, killing all but a few score of the Soviet defenders." Thousands of those killed around Adzhimushk were documented to have been killed by asphyxiation from gas.

In February 1943, German troops stationed in Kuban received a telegram.

...Russians should be eventually cleared out of the mountain range with gas.

The troops also received two wagons of toxin antidotes.

Edit: Beaten

Though here's an interesting comment about why gas was generally not used.

Stanley P. Lovell, Deputy Director for Research and Development of the Office of Strategic Services, reports in his book Of Spies and Stratagems that the Allies knew the Germans had quantities of Gas Blau available for use in the defense of the Atlantic Wall. The use of nerve gas on the Normandy beachhead would have seriously impeded the Allies and possibly caused the invasion to fail altogether. He submitted the question "Why was nerve gas not used in Normandy?" to be asked of Hermann Göring during his interrogation. Göring answered that the reason gas was not used had to do with horses. The Wehrmacht was dependent upon horse-drawn transport to move supplies to their combat units, and had never been able to devise a gas mask horses could tolerate; the versions they developed would not pass enough pure air to allow the horses to pull a cart. Thus, gas was of no use to the German Army under most conditions.[34]
