But lying about it repeatedly, in person and via surrogate, puts the new president’s priorities and lack of perspective in context. He could have gone high and not addressed it at all, or he could have been petty but accurate and pointed out the enormous crowds he drew during his campaign. (He could even have said…

Ya the ACLU responded to the vague threat Spicer made in that... display. You can’t even really call it a press conference because he came in, chastised the press, lied 4 times, and stormed off like a goddamned fool. If they think they’re going to keep saying up is down just to show they can, they’re going to be in…

He can hold me accountable all he wants. I have over 200 years of history behind me. Come at me, you fucking tangerine.
I was anchoring today and spelled out the President was lying. It was my third story down, post marches and the CIA clusterfuck, and I very specifically said the crowd DID NOT back to the monument, and that numbers did not match what Spicer said.
Yep. The parade route was completely barren. Full of empty bleachers. That one must have stung for him.
I kind of love that WaPo is now just flat-out saying that Trump is lying:
I personally loved the leap from “there is NO way of knowing how many people were there.” to “There were the most people from any inauguration ever.”
I was literally yelling at my TV.
Punching Nazis shouldn’t be illegal. It’s a goddamn American pastime, ffs.
If the guy who punched him gets arrested I will gladly donate to a fund to pay his bail. That guy is the hero we need right now.
On the eve of the inauguration, I think it’s a good time to remember that under President Obama, twenty million Americans gained health insurance, cutting the percentage of uninsured Americans to single digits; same-sex marriage was legalized; DADT was repealed; combat positions were opened to women and transgender…
Fuck that paparazzi asshole.
“the deal was reached a week ago, but has been kept ‘a big secret’ because Michele’s camp feared the seven days of criticism that would surely lead up the divisive President-elect’s big day.”
We are so fucked.
Like, I wanna be like, “LULZ, funny, you get a star,” but I actually just have a pit in my stomach now. (You still get the star, tho)
Pick after pick have shown themselves to know literally nothing about the jobs or fields they’re about to take over.
He’s not the only Republican just finding out what his job entails....
I wish I had 1/4 of the faith in the fundamental goodness of people and hope that Barack Obama does. I used to be a more positive about it, but since the election it’s been incredibly difficult. I felt like I finally saw people’s true colors, people who I actually know who I thought were smarter and more…
