What a sideshow....

Wish I had a nickle for every time Spicer said "no".

Looking for a new Press Secretary?........ Don't look here.

Kellyanne Conway on Whether She’d Want to Be Press Sec.: I’d Rather ‘Slit My Wrists’ and Bleed Out

There’s a new profile of Kellyanne Conway for New York Magazine out today in which she expresses a strong desire to never be White House Press Secretary.

Conway’s name came up during the transition, but she said at the time she “politely declined” the job.

Her take on whether she would be in that position now is, well, a lot less filtered:

Conway was first floated as an obvious pick for press secretary. Asked if she would ever want [Sean Spicer‘s] job, she rolled her eyes. “Slit my wrists, bleed out, put cement shoes on, jump off the bridge, and then I’ll take the job — are you kidding me?”

Sean was only pointing to factual information about where the 'wiretapping' topic began, and it wasn't Trump.....it was the liberal media, in case you didn't follow the time stamps he pointed out. Re-watch/read the link you posted to get that info in case you missed it.

AND TheRUMP was only spreading FAKE NEWS...

You know, all the sources of FAKE NEWS that the POTUS has been complaining about on a regular basis...

Then HE spreads fake news...and points at the other guy and says...HEY they started it....But HE spread it....HE's the one on the world stage....looking like the boy that cried wolf....

Perhaps he can get an "egg wash facial" ..............egg on his face?

others that BO actually DID spy on come forward publicly about it, and you have a liberal media who starts the whole 'wiretapping the Trump campaign' topic, and then you have the 'leaks' that started coming out before he even took office about phone conversations or 'possible ties' to Russia that BO wanted investigated, secret surveillance is a very real probability. But you'll never admit that....

Can you say "Rachel Maddow" and FAKE NEWS in the same breath, at least?

Maddow doesn't realize it's 'FAKE NEWS"...POTUS CLAIMS to KNOW it's "FAKE NEWS".

Which one is the LIAR, when they both spread the story as "fact"?

One is "ignorant of the facts"...the other knows/claims it's "FAKE NEWS" yet HE spreads it as the truth....

Did you SEE her show?
Mar 18, 2017 10:47AM PDT

and the convoluted twists and turns she took TRYING to tie Trump to Russia's apron strings....?? Now THAT'S ASSumption and LIES. Trump ADMITTED that the two pages she showed were his...how is that a lie on his part? As soon as Maddow LOOKED at the pages, she KNEW she had NOTHING that anybody was going to buy into and her ratings have sunk, even by other liberal media criticizing her, rapidly. When they tried to compare her fiasco to the "Capone Vault' and Geraldo, even THAT flopped because at least Geraldo didn't KNOW the vault was going to be empty and he wound up with 200 job offers out of that showing.....she KNEW her 'vault' was empty and she's tanked and being deemed not credible anymore by her own liberal media folks. She wasn't 'ignorant of the facts'.....she just made a bunch of them up to kill time on her show and 'get through it' since she had hyped it so heavily.

I could give you a list longer than many of the longest threads in any CNET forum of the BO Administration's lies over 8 years and you still would believe that BO's credibility was intact. And most of those lies were supported by the liberal media and encouraged.

Donald Trump is Really Starting to Make Fox News Look Bad

Unlike in those instances, however, there is a very important and receptive new listener — the president of the United States. In fact, far from just Napolitano, Trump’s voracious consumption of Fox News now means that every single reporter, anchor, contributor, expert and intern who appears on air cannot rule out the possibility that the leader of the free world is not only watching them, but may repeat, verbatim, whatever comes out of their mouth.

The Napolitano walk-back began in earnest Friday.

“Fox News cannot confirm Judge Napolitano’s commentary,” said Shepard Smith on his show. He was later echoed by fellow anchor Bret Baier.“We love the judge,” said Baier” “We love him here at Fox, but the Fox News division was never able to back up those claims and was never reported on this show.”

By emphasizing Napolitano’s “commentary” Smith played a familiar card, drawing a distinction between the channel’s news and opinion coverage. But that doesn’t fly this time because the issue was not Napolitano’s opinions. The judge went on television and said “three intelligence sources” had told “Fox News” what he was saying. As we now know, this was a lie. Clearly nobody told “Fox News” anything, but in fact spoke with the judge alone.


THEN TheRUMP...goes on the world stage and flaps his gums....talk about 'encouraging"

"but in fact spoke with the judge alone."
Mar 19, 2017 3:53PM PDT

So, clearly, the judge misspoke as a FoxNews consultant/commentator/whatever his title is there....but even your link admits that "three intelligence sources" HAD given him that information. Only time will tell about whether they were 'shadow government' people who deliberately gave him false information knowing he would comment on it. And other than correcting his statement that it wasn't FoxNews but himself, he hasn't walked back any part of the actual information he was given.

There are only three posts which respond directly to the OP title. Yours appears to be the third and last. The others are subs and would slide in between. Chronological order is (loosely) maintained only in the subs. If you respond to one of those subs now, it will fall somewhere in between. If you respond again to the OP, it will be last again.
