Exactly what I was about to comment. He can “clarify” all he wants, but his words betrayed him. I also notice that both in his verbal garbage during the presser and in his clarification, he mentions that Assad dropped gas on “innocent people,” which really seems to be implying that the use of gas during the holocaust…

Also, that he doesn’t consider the German Jews killed by Hitler to be Hitler’s own people.

No, I don’t think Holocaust denial is “entertaining”

It’s the “his own people” that’s most telling. At a subconscious, gut-belief level, Spicer doesn’t consider Jewish Germans and Austrians to be Germans and Austrians, i.e. Hitler’s people. He considers them wholly Other in a way that is analogous to Hitler’s own Othering of Jews, gays, Communists, dissenters, etc.

Let’s not miss the fact that he seems to differentiate the Jewish men, women, and children killed in “holocaust centers” from “innocents” killed by Assad.

Happy Passover, everybody!

I think what he meant to say is that even Hitler “didn’t conduct a chemical weapon attack on Syrian opposition forces from a Su-22 fixed-wing aircraft on April 4, 2017.”

Holocaust centers.

12 episodes was not enough!

Jewish people love Easter.

I don’t see Trump, himself, doing this. (He’ll be off in Florida this weekend. It’s a safe bet. He doesn’t like children.) I am guessing he will hand this over to Ivanka. She and her husband will be the ones on the lawn much to their chagrin. (No one in that family seems like a kid person.) It will practically be the…

so fucking tacky

I’m HOH, so much that living in the hearing world is so difficult sometimes that I don’t want to get out of bed. I was mainstreamed to read lips only. No sign. Thanks parents and teachers! I was raised to please your hearing world. I am sitting here with tears streaming down my eyes right now reading some of the…

They have not yet issued any statement.

I work for a small theatre chain and even we supply personal closed caption devices for the hearing impaired that does not disturb other patrons in the slightest. Surprised to see other chains do not have the same.

Nice try Beyonce, we know it’s you.

That may be true, but I use Spotify to find new music & spend money at concerts to see those bands live & buy the albums I listen to a lot. So I’m still supporting the artists even if the per-play price they get isn’t great.

See, now two bottles of red is pushing it for me, but two bottles of rose, I’m like “Eh, I could still operate heavy machinery.”

I’ve spent a lot of time doing personal research on empathy, in large part because I am autistic and lack cognitive empathy (the ability to innately discerns people’s emotional states).

This is exactly their mentality. A friend I’ve known since 5th grade’s (well, no longer a friend) mother literally told me that my going to school was taking money from her daughter getting help with healthcare. De-freaking-lusional.
