One nice thing about having a Cabbage Patch Kid like Sean Spicer as the White House spokesman, People like me never run out of stupid, brain dead shit to write about and ridicule. And this is only day two of the possibly short reign of Mold Spice humiliating himself and his integrity on a national stage every day.
I guess the concept of “Alternate Facts” didn’t work out so well. This is not surprising, it’s what happens when you don’t have a marketing man on call. Damn, gang, a couple of quick focus groups would have made it clear that this phrase was a dog with fleas. Now they’ve got even media outlets like Faux News and the New York Times using the dreaded word “lie” right out front. Smooth move Ex-Lax!
But one thing about Sean of the Dread, if one anchor sinks, throw out another. Today’s press briefing gave us the new excuse for the insane tripe that comes out of Trumpelthinskins pie hole. When pressed about The Banana Republic Bozo’s claim that there were 3-5M illegal votes in the election, and asked what evidence or proof they had, Spicer unveiled the new whitewash that will be used for the untenable statements coming from Da Boss. To paraphrase;
“The President believes that there was significant voter fraud in the general election”.
He ignored the part of the question that dealt with proof and evidence, and when pressed on that portion, simply reiterated that The Man believed he got screwed by the system via voter fraud, or his winning margin would have been YUGE.
So here we are now. Not only are actual facts irrelevant, alternate facts don’t matter anymore either if they can’t be proven. All that matters is what The Orange Tufted Poodle “believes”. This would be comical if it weren’t so serious and dangerous.
Is this really where we are now? What next? Does the FBI invade a peaceful mosque because the Cut Rate Caligula “believes” that some unknown (and most like non existent) person or people in there are plotting terrorist attacks? Does The Tiny Fisted Tiktator suddenly declare a trade war with China because he “believes” that the Chinese are giving him too much guff? Does he send the National Guard to the Mexico border because he “believes” there is about to be a spike in illegal immigration because the car companies aren’t building their plants down there anymore?
Let’s face it. The only thing The SS Trumptanic believes is whatever makes him feel better at the moment. And we’ve all seen that he’ll change his mind fifteen minutes later when he calms down. But, once you violate the Constitution by invading a mosque without cause, or start a trade war with China, or any one of a hundred other rash actions, sending out a redacting Tweet fifteen minutes later is not going to cut the mustard, the damage is already done, and it may well be irreparable. This is why you get your Presidential daily briefings you day glo idjit!
