Spicer on terrorist attacks.
Spicer claims everyone should know he meant Orlando when he kept claiming terrorist attacks in Atlanta but why should anyone think that. There was a terrorist attack during the 1996 summer Olympics in Atlanta, committed by Eric Rudolph, a good Christian boy who was opposed to abortions and the gay agenda. It happened during the Olympics and perhaps is another one of Trumps terrorist attacks the news media kept secret. After all, a Turkish cameraman with a Muslim sounding name died after running from the scene.
And on the voter fraud front a Republican Green Card holder in Texas was convicted of voting in US elections in 2012 and 2014 which explains why Trump did not get the majority vote in 2016.

Re: Lies and more lies
In addition the Administration has consistently avoided say what threat people from those seven specific nations pose to the US.

Re: Lies and more lies
A good President really needs to be able to lie so again, I can't fault Trump or his Administration for lying; the problem is that it seems that simply are as clueless about how to lie as they are about economics or science or reality or history or just about every area of knowledge or talent they have demonstrated so far. So far the whole group from Trump to has staff to most of his cabinet appointees simply come across as incompetent clowns.
Probably the single most important step Trump could take right now would be to simply disappear for a month or so while he gets taught at least a 101 level course how to lie. As it is the only possible opponent he could deal with would be one of his True Believers and Fellow Travelers.

And in the very same sentence.

What's in a name.
It will be interesting to see if becoming President turns out to be an asset to the Trump Brand or simply another failure. Add Sears and K-Mart and Neiman Marcus and TJ Max and Marshalls and Belk to the list of stores dropping Trump Brand items.

Flynn gets flushed
And his resignation letter is classic "alternative facts".
quote:
Unfortunately, because of the fast pace of events, I inadvertently briefed the Vice President Elect and
others with incomplete information regarding my phone calls with the Russian Ambassador. have
sincerely apologized to the President and the Vice President, and they have accepted my apology.
text of his resignation letter
He didn't lie, he inadvertently told Porkies and when he was caught did not immediately fess up.

And now a call to investigate Trump directly and Trump's Russian connection.
Well what else do you expect from flaming liberals out to sabotage il Donald.
quote:
GOP senator calls for exhaustive investigation into Trump-Russia connections
Sen. Roy Blunt (R-Mo.) on Tuesday said there should be an exhaustive investigation into the ties between Russia and the Trump administration.
"I think everybody needs that investigation to happen," Blunt told KTRS radio, CNN reported.
"And the Senate Intelligence Committee, again that I serve on, has been given the principal responsibility to look into this, and I think we should look into it exhaustively so that at the end of this process, nobody wonders whether there was a stone left unturned, and shouldn't reach conclusions before you have the information that you need to have to make those conclusions."
Wait, Roy Blunt? The Republican Senator? From Montana Missouri? He was a wacko liberal secret Muslim saboteur all this time?
What's next? Joseph Smith wasn't really a Christian?
quote:
"The national security adviser of all the people that work with and for the president has to be absolutely trustworthy and truthful and apparently he wasn't and he paid the price for that," Blunt said.
Wait. Does that mean alternative facts are really the truth? Does that mean people other than the national security advisor don't have to be absolutely trustworthy and truthful?
Knowing that makes me feel so much safer.
Edited by jar, : point out that Blunt is from the Alternate Montana

That just an alternate Montana.
But everyone knows Lindsay Graham is just a sore loser. And John Cornyn? Who ere even heard of John Cornyn? Has he ever has his own TV show? Does he even own a Golf Course? Or a single Tower?

likely not treason
RAZD writes:
And I certainly don't think any appointments should be approved until this Russian scandal is sorted out -- if Russia did alter the outcome of the election in exchange for lifting sanctions that is treason.
I'm not at all sure that is true. Consider the issue of Iran refusing to release hostage until after the election and which had a direct bearing on the outcome of the election and the later Iran Contra affair and the destruction of documentation by the Reagan administration where neither were considered treason.

Re: Trump Press Conference: Surreal
It will play well. He does understand where his support lies.
But history shows that over the long term it is unwise to piss on the person that controls the news and the keeper of the secrets.
Now it is simply a matter of seeing if history holds true.

One theme that I noticed was that Trump claimed that the "classified" or "confidential" discussions that he had with foreign leaders were "illegally" making their way into the press.
How would this happen?
There are many nefarious ways that could happen. For example there could be people standing around watching and taking selfies and tweeting while he is holding "classified" or "confidential" discussions with foreign leaders or maybe he could be using an unsecured cell phone that is subject to being tapped and monitored or maybe his calls are being monitored by US or foreign governments and the contents leaked to the media or maybe he pissed off the intelligence community and called them incompetent and you cannot expect incompetent people to be able to keep secrets can you?
AbE: One thing that has to be emphasized, particularly in this case.
If an Intelligence Agency is legitimately listening and monitoring foreign communications and a US citizens calls that foreign person, guess what happens? Even though the US Citizens was not targeted that conversation gets recorded.
The fact that stuff like this is showing up is simply more evidence that Trump and Company are clueless when it comes to governing.
