I feel like an idiot for ever having defended/felt sorry for Spicer. The guy seems smart enough, why in the world would you walk out there day after day and wreck your own credibility for a temp job?

I dunno how you define "smart enough" but I question that assessment based on him taking this job and continuing to do it the way he's doing it
Basically I think your sentence contradicts itself

I do not have that same impression, but did you read something about that somewhere?

I'd be thrilled if she no longer had a role in our government, she's a monster.

Does Spicer actually have any inside info or does he just go out there to get yelled at / defend nonsense ?

Spicer is frequently in meetings with Trump and high level staff, so he does have inside info.

He's 100% Trump's mouthpiece, nothing more

Just going off eye test of not really seeing/hearing much from her lately.

spicer and bannon also very much in trumps inner circle. its apparently just a giant **** show. (which some surmise trump likes because he likes to see whos "tough" and can make it out the other side)

ive never hated someone so thoroughly as trump.

Hearing Manafort's name a lot again. I wouldn't be surprised if that guy is actually living in Russia in one of those tacky mansions with a lot of gold trim.

I'm sure it's fine.
Yea what I've seen on Facebook is any indication, there are still tonsss of people that still support him and think he's doing God's work

I still don't think anything happens with health care (I just saw a tweet claiming there are 40 no GOP votes, killing the bill before it even reaches the Senate where it would probably die) which makes the rest of Trump's agenda very hard to get to. health care reform needs to be the first domino to fall.

I think he'll end up accomplishing very little. not sure if that will help or hurt his approval. getting nothing done with an ok status quo is better than doing terrible things.

If there is one thing republicans can rally for, it's tax cuts for the highest earners. Why they didn't jam that through first I have no idea.

They're trying to be sneaky and get the tax cuts through the healthcare bill. I don't think the low income Trump supporters are behind a straight tax cut for the wealthy.

Seems like this administration knows Manafort is going down for something. Their borderline "Paul who?" shtick today is ridiculous.

He's wanted for questioning in Ukraine is probably why. They're allin on the deny until we have to then keep denying everything else train.

We want assange (well trump doesn't but still), we just need ukraine to have someone ecuador wants and we can get this done.

"Manafort is under active investigation by the CIA, NSA, FBI, ODNI and FinCEN."

Have fun with all that Paul. Where is he actually, in the US?
