            To be fair, Sean “among the bushes” Spicer lasted 18.3 mooches.

              Ahh the Spicey one. I had a love/hate relationship with him. For anybody who wasn’t glued to political feeds expecting Armageddon at any moment like me, this pretty accurately sums up Spicer’s reign as White House Press Secretary.

    “I want to personally apologize to our team members who felt we let them down,” he said. “While this was a collective recommendation by some members of our leadership team, I approved it and take full responsibility for it.”

    These statements always seem so facile when “taking responsibility” means no consequences apart from issuing an apology.

    What was her actual job going to be? Was she just going to be a talking head that would give “the other side.” AKA, lies about election fraud and whatnot.

    These fucking ghouls should be tattooed with an ink that glows under black light. Humanity fails if they are ever able outrun the shame of what they’ve done.
