Unbelievable - here is Spicer's defense of Trump ignoring Yates warning on Flynn:
"Just because someone comes in and gives you a heads-up about something and says I want to share some information doesn't mean you immediately jump the gun and go take an action. I think if you flip the scenario and say what if we had just dismissed somebody because a political opponent of the President had made an utterance, you would argue it was pretty irrational to act in that manner. We did what we were supposed to do. the president made ultimately the right decision. I think he was proven..."
Sally Yates wasn't "someone" She was the attorney general of the United States. THE nation's lawyer.

From their perspective, she was an assistant, which meant to Trump that she was a legal receptionist. Obviously she was in over her head just as much as Trump was.

Well, that and they had to fire Flynn in what, a month? So they obviously didn't make the right decision.

This from the guy who's boss bases all his policy positions on "lots of people are saying" and the five minutes of Tucker Carlson he happened to catch last night.

He doesn't watch Tucker live. He just catches the summation on the next morning's Fox & Friends.

Honestly, how could you do that well? I don't like the guy either, but that is the most impossible job ever.

He could show some intelligence and humor. And stop being contemptuous of the people he’s there to communicate with. Tony Snow was a little smug, but he never came across as a stupid bumbling asshole.

It's his job to be contemptuous, he can't be friendly with the "fake news" media. That is their angle.
I wish Ted Cruz were a complete tool.
The words necessary to properly describe him would make Satan blush.

You don't deserve koa.
Trump fired Comey.
Ugh.
Ugh.
Of course he did.
By the way, we don't really need the department of energy or the EPA, right? http://www.npr.org/sections/thetwo-...ign=npr&utm_term=nprnews&utm_content=20170509

Well we know it's not out of his sense of fairness and in defense of Hilary. Comey had the confused position of affecting the election himself AND investigating the Russian's interference with the election.

Too Controversial To Have An Athleisure Line
My wife called me to tell me this a little bit ago. I was at the store. I just started laughing.
How long is this ridiculous bullshit going to be allowed to continue?
