Why do I think firing the Spiceman would hurt his approval most of all
No idea. Spicy is plainly terrible at his job. I think firing him will affect Trump's approval rating about as much as the White House buying a new coffeemaker and pitching the old one. He'll be forgotten in a week.
Don't worry, Huck will get there. She's better than Sean the same way a punch in the stomach is better than a punch in the nards. She's still actively terrible, and trying to defend the nonsense from this White House is enough to make anyone snap.

I am going to be legit sad to see Spicy go. Sanders doesn't have that same "oh god this is so painful to watch, how can he keep doing this to himself?" feel to her briefings.

"Aggrieved" doesn't sound like a Trump word.
But Jeff Zucker said Spicy is a beloved character and an essential part of Trump's Wack Pack!
So abundantly obvious it's ridiculous that we even have to entertain whatever bullshit excuses the WH gives for his firing.
I am shocked at this news. So when do we get the big leaks?

You might not be wrong. I think the fact that Spicer is comedically bad rather than evil bad, I think it sometimes helps detract away from the seriousness of some of these situations. I can imagine his replacement would not be such a dork that he's hard to hate like Spicer

I am just hoping something breaks.
There's no way this doesn't result in a big leak, especially if Trump does try and put Christie in as the new head.

Christie thing seems like a rumor.
Interesting: A few GOP Senators now privately discussing what they can do, beyond mere statements. Eg, withhold votes for Trump nominees...

Time-stamped interview where Penn talks about being told he'd lose because he refused to support Trump for President: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D3JX4m4nJKw#t=5m40s
He's said similar things regarding the chaotic lack of rules and so has Dee Snider and Arsenio Hall when they all appeared on Adam Carolla's show together after their season.
When Carolla got fired on the show he refused to blame anyone else on the team and took the blame on himself and Trump freaked out on him for refusing to "play the game" and bring people in for drama purposes.
edit: yes, it continues to amuse me how much my stupid watching of that once good show (first two seasons of Trump's version, Martha Stewart's version, most all of Alan Sugar's UK series) prepared me for everything the President of the United States has been doing in his decision making and previously in his campaign decision making.

Trump appears to have been the same guy his entire life, it's truly astonishing. The only difference now is he seemingly can't or won't put on faux-intellectual airs in situations in which it might be appropriate, as he once did, and he appears to have early signs of dementia.

News that no one saw today.

Tom Price commends West Virginia officers who arrested journalist asking questions
Secretary of Health and Human Services Tom Price on Wednesday commended police in West Virginia for doing what they thought was appropriate in arresting a journalist who shouted questions at him, but added that it wasnt his call to say whether they took the proper measures.
Price said the reporter confronted him while he was walking down a hallway. That gentleman was not in a press conference, he said.
Daniel Ralph Heyman, a reporter for the independent Public News Service, was arrested and charged with willful disruption of governmental processes, a misdemeanor, after police in West Virginias Capitol building said he was aggressively trying to get past Secret Service agents while yelling questions at Price.

That and no judicious TV editing to trim off his worst bits.

Uh, SO? He has no right to ask a question because it wasn't a press conference? Give me a freaking break.

I mean, that's not the real question. It's this:
Is this bullshit, or the truth? If it's true, that'll get you arrested.
I am not inclined to believe their account of the situation, but that's their actual claim so it's what needs to be disputed.
Plinko

It is a real question, though. Price is putting that out there like a citizen had no right to ask him a question. That's complete garbage.
Agree about the second part, though.
And because we know just how important blind loyalty is to Trump, this is completely believable. If it's true, I have a whole new level of respect for Comey, despite his actions last October.

That initial thread full of people calling Comey a Trump supporting hack sure look good now.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services has secret service agents? What?
Is Trump just giving it to every cabinet member now? Like, are they that paranoid?

I have always been firm in believing that Comey is neither a good guy or a bad guy.

I am not an expert on this particular topic, probably nobody here is. However I do not believe it is very unusual for Cabinet officials to have protection details when traveling.

Each department has their own security protocol. Normally cabinet members like HHS don't get Secret Service protection.
Maybe the author of the article was mistaken.

John Podesta's account was phished in March.
And I'm still missing what the plan of this whole conspiracy was supposed to be. It still looks like the Underpants Gnomes business plan to me.
1. Release boring e-mails.
2. ???
3. Putin becomes President.
