He's not good, but I don't see any replacements in line who would do better. Laura Ingraham would've killed it, Jason Miller would've done a good job.


How about just about anyone who can speak properly. Just because we have a president who is incapable of forming a coherent sentence doesn't mean we need a press sec who is the same. In fact it makes it all the more important that he can 'use words' so he can translate for the obviously mentally ill clown in the oval office.

Pretty sure democrats have called for the resignation of every single republican at this point citing faux outrage.
Hell, they even started turning on their own, Howard Dean used it on Tulsi Gabbard today


Howard Dean can go scream into the air somewhere. Fucking total douche.

Maybe I should have said POTUS instead of president but I thought you'd get the gist without it.

I like Sean Spicer. I think his constant fumbling and stuttering makes him more personable. Also, the rumors about his love of Evangelion and being a weeb are pretty amusing.

So a 30 year old tomahawk missile costs significantly more than the largest non-nuclear bomb the US military has?

Seems legit.

Could actually be true. It's only a conventional bomb. Meaning: you just drop it. The fins could possibly give some guidance (not sure about that part), but that's it.
The propulsion system and long range guidance is where most of the costs come from.

Just figured out there is also a FOAB, a Russian response to the MOAB: 4x stronger -> 44T.
