Spicer's still defending his bald-faced lies of Saturday. And blaming someone else. Pretty piss-poor state of affairs when he implies that your average blogger had better access to information than he did.
One thing that I missed in all of this is that when President* Trump went to visit the CIA, he bused in his own cheering section (and not for the first time).
U.S. government sources tell CBS News that there is a sense of unease in the intelligence community after President Trump’s visit to CIA headquarters on Saturday.What the fuck, he has to bring his own studio audience with him wherever he goes?
An official said the visit “made relations with the intelligence community worse” and described the visit as “uncomfortable.”
Authorities are also pushing back against the perception that the CIA workforce was cheering for the president. They say the first three rows in front of the president were largely made up of supporters of Mr. Trump’s campaign.
An official with knowledge of the make-up of the crowd says that there were about 40 people who’d been invited by the Trump, Mike Pence and Rep. Mike Pompeo teams. The Trump team expected Rep. Pompeo, R-Kansas, to be sworn in during the event as the next CIA director, but the vote to confirm him was delayed on Friday by Senate Democrats. Also sitting in the first several rows in front of the president was the CIA’s senior leadership, which was not cheering the remarks.
This sounds like something that Castro would have done. (President* Fidel Trump?)
On another note, it seems that once reporters started digging into his companies, he found time to formally resign. Maybe. Nothing's been filed in the states where he has to do that.
And anyone who believes that there will be no discussions between him and his offspring concerning the companies probably shouldn't be let out of the house without adult supervision.
Unlike with President Putin's people, we haven't yet learned the proper applause points so Precedent Donny brings along some nice folks to show us that we may learn by watching.
ReplyDeleteNow that picture was FUNNY.
ReplyDeleteAnd I am not surprised that the "senior leadership" of the CIA isn't happy. I find that amusing.
"discussions between him and his offspring concerning the companies".
ReplyDeleteI really don't see a problem with that. Asking the kids how the companies are doing at dinner seems like a normal thing. As long as he isn't telling them what to do with them.
