Where's Sean Spicer?

(yes, this is a thing, after he tried to get away from the press by hiding in bushes. Make your own cut out, and put it in your garden. Or someone else's garden....)

Where's Sean Spicer?

If he had any sense, he'd be brushing up his resume...but as someone who knows about these sort of things said:

“You don’t find people who mentioned they worked at the Nixon White House unless they were high enough and conspicuous and had to admit it...Anybody who is there now, if they’re anywhere close to the problems, they’re probably going to need an attorney, and it’s going to get expensive...I think a lot of people are going to get hurt.”

-- John Dean, former White House counsel to Richard Nixon.

NOT FUNNY AT ALL.

At first glance I thought this are cannabis plants. Then I realized, they are not - compared them with pictures in Wikipedia ...
Then the idea struck me everybody remembers in his better days Baghdad Sean (Alias: Chemical Spicey) was the white house easter bunny. Now Easter isn't that long ago, I'd asume he was searching for the lost easter eggs that didn't got found back then ...
Makes perfectly sense to me AND NOT FUNNY AT ALL because it has a serious reasoning.

He went in front of the Coast Guard commencement audience and whined about how badly he's being treated "especially by the media." The media is reporting on the bullshit you do on a daily basis, you jackass! If you stop doing it, they'll have nothing to talk about!

And for you to say that no president has ever been treated this badly is an insult to presidents like the one you hounded for eight years because he was black -- not to talk of actual presidents who got killed on the job like Lincoln, Garfield and Kennedy. And none of them were flying to their private club every weekend to play golf at the taxpayers' expense either.

I am beginning to think that when he said, "You're gonna win so much you're gonna be tired of winning", I think his addled brain meant whining, not winning.

"At this point I don’t think it matters what Trump does, because he seems to have a pathological aversion to taking responsibility for anything. Instead, he just whines, puts the blame on others, and plays the victim. For example he recently talked about how persecuted he was by the media. Yeah, forget the actual criticisms they have, just focus on how they’re mean to him, and Trump is such a victim…

You’d think his supporters would see this, considering they always accuse liberals of playing the victim. Instead, they just eat it up. If you look at pro-Trump videos you will almost always see a comment that says: “Trump would be doing great, it’s just that the media is out to get him and attacks anything he does.”

I didn’t realize it was the media that made Trump break his campaign promises, be the biggest hypocrite on the face of the Earth, and act like an incompetent buffoon. I thought it was Trump who did that. But it seems like the Trump supporters who always talk about “taking personal responsibility” and not blaming your situation on others, can’t apply their own logic to their dear leader."

"Look at the way I’ve been treated lately. Especially by the media. No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly." - Donald Trump

The last three paragraphs make me realize just how steep the hill of stupidity these people labor under:


BBC: "Historians suggest 'more unfairly' treated politicians than Trump"

US President Donald Trump is being told off by historians on Twitter after stating that his treatment by critics was worse than anything any other politician has faced.

In an address to a US Coast Guard graduating class in Connecticut on Wednesday, Mr Trump said: "No politician in history, and I say this with great surety, has been treated worse or more unfairly."

The comments follow accusations Mr Trump asked former FBI director James Comey to drop an inquiry into links between ex-national security adviser Michael Flynn and Russia.

The president's supporters maintain there is no proof or evidence of collusion between Trump and Russia and the media has been biased against him.

Some historians were quick to qualify the president's remark, providing case studies of leaders who they say had it worse.

BBC history presenter Dan Snow posted a thread of tweets shared thousands of times in which he outlined the gruesome demise of several figures, including Emperor Valerian, Oliver Cromwell, Patrice Lumumba, and Edward II.

Users who commented on the thread also shared images of other influential personalities they believe had suffered more, including Nelson Mandela, Mahatma Gandhi and Malcolm X among others.

Tweeting Mr Trump's quote, historian Tom Holland added: "Take that, Cleopatra!"

Greg Jenner, best known for his BBC series Horrible Histories, also tweeted: "Sir Arthur Aston had his brains beaten out of his skull with his own wooden leg."

Writer Jelani Cobb, formerly an associate professor of history, highlighted Nicolae Ceaușescu - a Romanian politician who was executed alongside his wife in 1989. Commenting on Mr Trump's address, Cobb continued: "Imagining this as a theatre act with a foldaway cross he mounts and uses as a podium and ketchup stigmata."

And a professor of history and African American Studies at Princeton University altered the president's line to read: "No politician in history is worse than me."

Meanwhile, others drew attention to previous US leaders who had either been shot or assassinated, as well as previous president Barack Obama who was subject to the "birther" conspiracy of which Trump was a proponent.

In July 2016, a non-partisan petition labelled Historians Against Trump with nearly 1,000 signatories said: "The lessons of history compel us to speak out against Trump."

But some came to the president's defence and agree that he "has been treated unfairly" by the mainstream media which have not reported "his accomplishments".

"Trump is right as far as I know," another added.

"I [have] never seen such hatred against a president. They are not capable of reporting facts. Just propaganda for the Democrats," one user elaborated.

We might get lucky, and that orb has "Freaky Friday" properties, and we end up with Saruman as President. It'd be an improvement.

True. His Orcs he used for fighting his battles get more of my sympathy, while Trumpel has Steve Bannon and that guy that developed the muslim ban. And Orcs are easier to fight than those stubborn extremist right ideologists around Trumpel.
