President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

Yes re: C'Ville. (And I've actually been to the winery before, back when it was still Kluge.)

 

If it's true, how are all of those hard-working terrorists going to get scholarships?

 

White House provides list of 'under-reported' terror attacks

 

Can't cheat when there's a crowd watching.

 

Any idea that media--most notably cable news, which is all that dolt pays attention to, anyway--doesn't do enough reporting on terrorist attacks, is batshit fucking insane.

 

Misspelled San Bernardino.

 

White House rattled by McCarthy's spoof of Spicer



As the press secretary for a president who's obsessed with how things play on cable TV, Sean Spicer’s real audience during his daily televised press briefings has always been an audience of one.

And the devastating “Saturday Night Live” caricature of Spicer that aired over the weekend — in which a belligerent Spicer was spoofed by a gum-chomping, super soaker-wielding Melissa McCarthy in drag — did not go over well internally at a White House in which looks matter.

More than being lampooned as a press secretary who makes up facts, it was Spicer’s portrayal by a woman that was most problematic in the president’s eyes, according to sources close to him. And the unflattering send-up by a female comedian was not considered helpful for Spicer’s longevity in the grueling, high-profile job in which he has struggled to strike the right balance between representing an administration that considers the media the "opposition party," and developing a functional relationship with the press.

I guess Quebec City got the appropriate coverage or too much? Probably too much.

 

And Denmark.

 

Hell they misspelled attacker like 20 times

 

Maybe they want something like NFL Network's Red Zone channel, except for terror attacks?

Calling some of these "terror" events is laughable. The one cited in Merced? Student at UC Merced was a couple of fries short of a happy meal and went on a stabbing rampage on campus. Yeah, the students were terrified, but ...

 

If DeVos doesn't get the education secretary gig, maybe she can help the White House with spelling?
