What on earth was the point of Sarah Sanders?

For 94 days, the outgoing White House press secretary gave no press briefing in the press room just a few steps from the press office that she nominally ran.

But the press did not stop pressing.

For more than three years, Sanders made no meaningful news on behalf of a boss who considers it his p**********l priority to make as much meaningless news as possible.

Yet the news did not stop breaking.

With all the resources of the federal government’s communications machine at her fingertips, Sanders was the least resourceful communicator in Washington: a hapless and hopeless observer to every crisis, real or manufactured by the man sitting in the Oval Office, just down the hallway from her own.

In other words, she was the perfect spokeswoman for a perfectly lazy president.

Sanders may have demonstrated few obvious qualities as a press secretary: she earned no trust from the media, possessed no information to share with the world and enjoyed no grasp of policy or even politics.
She had no special insights into Donald Trump’s thinking and no special relationship with him either. Other than this: her capacity to dodge responsibility and the t***h were a polished mirror of his character.

Normal spokespeople would have been mortified by the revelations of Robert Mueller that, by Sanders’ own admission, she just made stuff up when she briefed the press.

Speaking the day after the president fired then FBI director James Comey, Sanders told the media that “countless members of the FBI” – representing what she called “the rank-and-file of the FBI” – had lost confidence in Comey. She claimed that this was the reason why Comey was fired, even though Trump himself would later tell NBC News that his decision was because of “this Russia thing”.

Sanders later admitted to Mueller that she fabricated the entire smear. “She also recalled that her statement in a separate press interview that rank-and-file FBI agents had lost confidence in Comey was a comment she made ‘in the heat of the moment’ that was not founded on anything,” Mueller stated in his report.

But who really needs credibility, a sense of shame or any degree of self-respect when you’re working for Trump?

Speaking to Fox News after the Mueller report destroyed what was left of her reputation, Sanders worked her way through a few more fabrications. “Look, I acknowledged that I had a slip of the tongue when I used the word ‘countless’, but it’s not untrue,” she said.

That is some World Cup-quality lying. The single sentence includes at least three lies and there are only 21 words in it: an average of one lie for every seven words.

There was no acknowledgement of a slip of the tongue (lie No 1). It was no slip of the tongue (lie No 2). And she stands by the lie with the weasel words of a double negative about its non-unt***hfulness (lie No 3 and quite possibly No 4).

You don’t get to lie as well as that by chance or amateur sk**l. It takes dedication and effort on the training ground to make it look so easy and natural.

Sanders is nothing but a paid liar, the i***t Pumpkinfuhrer’s Joseph Goebbels. I hope she suffers a lifetime of public humiliation for the damage she has done to our nation.

Why do you close to never cite the source and/or author of your posts?

A lot of authors and sources don’t allow for reprinting of their material without express consent.

At least Sarah Sanders, I don’t think, was ever accused of plagiarism.

Why in the world would she do any briefing just to get insulted by the crooks in the media???...She was brave and really great to face all these crooks in the media...

There is a price for being a degenerate. Are you prepared to pay the bill?

Why do you use false hyperbole--NEVER cite the source--in your criticism. You will find at least five posts from me today all with sources. But I did miss this one: https://news.yahoo.com/good-riddance-sarah-sanders-washington-124419851.html;_ylt=Awr4zV.zFARdOScA5chXNyoA;_ylu=X3oDMTByNWU4cGh1BGNvbG8DZ3ExBHBvcwMxBHZ0aWQDBHNlYwNzYw--

"At least Sarah Sanders, I don’t think, was ever accused of plagiarism." Funny, neither have I.

And like all good Righties here, you NEVER address the topic but attack the messenger.

Really brave not to face them for 194 days? Curious.

Yahoo is your source???

If she poured gas on you, and set you on fire, then told you you're on fire, you would call her a liar per your programming.

The Critical Critic Loc: Turtle Island

I do my best not to use absolutes. Re-read that sentence of mine again, you missed something.


Well it was the only thread of yours that I read today, didn’t see the others, but good for you. You should, it’s the right thing to do...

Btw, I looked, I didn’t see five posts of yours today, only three, and two of them you didn’t source... who’s the one really using hyperbole...


Excellent! Thank you.


I know you probably don’t care, but I don’t believe you.


What is there to address? She’s leaving, not anyone’s concern anymore. Post all the l*****t (derogatory) sources you like. She’ll at least now be able to enjoy a meal at a restaurant without being harassed by simpletons.

No!!

Yahoo reprints articles from many different sources, such as Fox News and AP. And why dismiss it if written by yahoo? The name? Do you have any evidence it is not a dependable source?

Common_Sense_Matters

Because it wasn't "pro-Trump", if it had been, then Yahoo would be a valid source.

Do you practice at sophistry or are you just a natural.
