Gee, can't imagine why the media would be going after him.

I miss Obama. Dude was the epitome of grace.

He was an actual self-reflecting human being with empathy that had to make hard decisions, notably the whole drone strike fiasco. A lot of people didn't agree with those decisions, but at least there is an identifiable logic to them (i.e., keep American troops out of harms way and target specific enemies without a ground war invasion).

 

[BlastProcessing]

AP is refuting this. Or at least confirming that Comey did brief Senate he made the requests.







Surely someone means the Russian investigation right?

Nope, in addition from recusing himself from all things Russia, Sessions recused himself from all things Clinton Email as part of his confirmation process.

So he actually violated two recusals.

I want to see him in handcuffs leaving the White House.

This.

 

[Novel Mike]

CNN saying that the press briefing will be done by Huckabee not Spicer.

 

[benjipwns]

Really getting sick of oscillating between posts assuring Trump will lose and others that automatically assume 8 years. You all need to stop assuming anything about tomorrow is guaranteed.

Maybe you shouldn't assume we can't assume anything is guaranteed.

 

[shadow_shogun]

Can't wait for the press briefing by Sarah Huckabee Sanders. She's even worse than Spicy. Should be a trainwreck.

That banshee believes in all that crazy that comes spewing from her mouth, she will hold her pretty well.

 

[HotHamBoy]

I would personally celebrate Trump's impeachment if it ever happened, but I think the reason he hasn't been isn't because 80% of Republicans still approve of him.

Maybe it has to do with the fact that there's no concrete evidence the man is guilty of "treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanors." Not yet anyway

Republicans don't "approve" of Trump in private, only in public. They just put party before country. This has nothing to do with evidence, if Trump was a Dem he would already be gone.

 

[Username1198]

Is spicy going to get fired?

He's doing his naval reserve duty at the pentagon according to CNN

Then the anchor says, yea, if I was Sean I wouldn't wanna be at the press briefing either lol

 

[Pop-O-Matic]

SEVEN years of this guys. Seven fucking years. We're only what, 150 days of the FIRST year.

SEVEN FUCKING YEARS.

C'mon, man, you're being ridiculous.

He's gonna be in office WAY longer than 7 years...

 

[Tacitus_]

bwuhahahahahahahahaha


oh shit-Newsweek is reporting that too!

SEAN SPICER HAD A MELTDOWN AFTER TRUMP FIRED COMEY, HIDING IN BUSHES AND DEMANDING DARKNESS

Reads like something out of a Monty Python sketch. Bravo, USA.

 

[BlueTsunami]

Waiting for Spicer to come out of the bushes.

Are there any out of place bunny mascots? 👀

 

[2Smashed4U]

Plan for the worst and hope for the best. Best case dems take back the cong and senate in 2018 and president in 2020, worst case Trump ends fair elections by 2018 and we have an authoritarian regime. When the worst case is that bad you really need to focus on planning for it and ignore that it might turn out alright in 2018 and 2020, because if it doesn't... the USA is headed towards civil war.

Oh give me a break.

"Better plan for civil war! Might be coming soon!"

The invested base actually wants to replace the current US with a white evangelical theocracy, I shit you not.

 

[BoogieWoogie]

Every day, Spicer opens up his drawer to see a bottle of whiskey and a loaded handgun. The bottle always wins, but not before the pause.

[MetalGearZed]

When it all comes down, I want to see Trump cry.

I want to see him in handcuffs leaving the White House.

why not both.
sobbing like a bitch while being escorted out in handcuffs

 

[jelly]

I feel like Trump is frustrated that he can't just cream off the top when President. He wants to use all his power to get mega rich but his hands are mostly tied with a huge spotlight on him and his family. He can get away with stuff like Mar a Lago but that's small fry to what he really wants.

 

[Fercho]

Sean Spicer hiding in the bushes seems something taken out from "The Naked Gun" or something like that. This is just historic, this administration will (sadly) never be forgotten.

 

[benjipwns]

C'mon, man, you're being ridiculous.

no way, he's a seat warmer

now Queen Ivanka tho

 

[jelly]

Brilliant.

Spicer was in that suit at one time years ago apparently.

No one should forget. We need this reminder of how bad shit can get to live for eternity.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

OMG, amazing.

I get the feeling he loves it like this. He likes attention. Doesn't really care how he gets it. Gets angry when he sees it going to anyone else.

 

[Dreams-Visions]

That Newsweek article title is the best title I've ever seen in 20 years of reading Newsweek.

What is happening to the leadership in our nation. What has happened.

 

[Master Yoshi]

Oh give me a break.

"Better plan for civil war! Might be coming soon!"

I can see major civil unrest, but I'm not sure how a civil war could ever happen in this country in modern society.

The only way I ever see all out madness is if we begin running out of food and water.

 

[Host Samurai]

So Jeff Sessions told Trump to fire Comey. The same guy that recused himself. Sessions is in this deep too.

 

[Trakdown]

I was thinking Tenacious D and the Pick of Destiny.

 

[Doomsayer]

Agreed.

It seems like whenever the Republicans take total control all hell breaks loose. I hope voters and future voters remember all of this.

 

[A Serious Man]

Spicer hiding in the bushes is just too fucking much.

 

[FullMetaltech]

I cant wait for the picture book with pop-ups. Gonna be amazing if someone comes up with it.

 

[LiK]

Spicey is so scared.

 

[theechrisfox]

inb4 Comey asks for full immunity.

 

[Dr.Acula]

20 years from now when Fincher releases his dramatization of the Trump affair people are going to be laughing at this scene calling it over-the-top sacrificing reality for style.

"Oh yeah, Spicer starts doing his press briefings behind the bushes in the dark..."

 

[Wallach]

Spicey is so scared.

I will laugh if this gets him booted by Trump for looking "weak".

 

[Linkura]

It seems like whenever the Republicans take total control all hell breaks loose. I hope voters and future voters remember all of this.

They won't. The problem with the electorate is their lack of attention span.

Also, that "Bushes" pic is hilarious.

[TheLostBigBoss]

How would it work if the FBI killed the investigation after the new director is installed and Comey was granted full immunity by the Senate Committee to divulge classified information?

"Invited" Comey to testify. How likely is that?

Subpoena his ass.

 

[HotHamBoy]

Is the Trump Presidency worse than you imagined?

 

[benjipwns]

inb4 Comey asks for full immunity.

Are you suggesting the last FBI director has been committing crimes of some kind on the side? Like a hobby or something?

 

[TheLostBigBoss]

This administration has been bukakke'd by scandals for literally the entire time it has existed.

So no, not exactly how it was foreseen.

 

[KHarvey16]

"Invited" Comey to testify. How likely is that?

Subpoena his ass.

Why would you go through the process of obtaining a subpoena if he would just agree to come? They're not investigating him, an invite is fine.

 

[TheOMan]

So....we can be sure the oval office is now bugged, right?

 

[shadow_shogun]

This is not a good week for Spicey, apparently, Melissa McCarthy is hosting SNL this weekend.

 

[kaching]

I get the feeling he loves it like this. He likes attention. Doesn't really care how he gets it. Gets angry when he sees it going to anyone else.

He clearly prefers adoration to mere attention, as multiple reports have confirmed many times before, at least 1 or 2 of them in this thread alone.

 

[TangoAlphaLima]

How would it work if the FBI killed the investigation after the new director is installed and Comey was granted full immunity by the Senate Committee to divulge classified information?

I know Trump is a moron, but he won't kill the investigation completely. He'll just fail to adequately fund or staff the investigation.

And Comey won't need immunity to divulge classified information to the Senate Intelligence Committee. They may need to hold the hearing behind closed doors, but they should have equal access to the results from the investigation.

 

[Nafai1123]

Senate doesn't have the power to do that.
