Lol and Spicer threatens the media for reporting on crowds. No questions. Nothing else discussed. The next 4 years are going to be a joke.

OMG spin spin spin Spicer sucks at Spinning.

And he needs to take a chill pill.

Lol blame the media here we go! Sieg HEIL!

What an Asshole administration.
I guess I have to add Spicer's speech as a new entry into my DJT bullshit thread.

Trump also said the media was behind his supposed feud with intel. Wait a second did the media compare the CIA to Nazis???

acoording to the baker, the "client" [meaning, whoever on Trump's team dropped off the photo] demanded it be "Exactly like the one in the photo, because it is perfect," after a rebuff from the baker that they should use it as inspiration, instead of an exact copy.

That being said, her statement seems to have been released after Duff called them out on Twitter. Maybe she was honest about it all--I mean, the real issue is that the client just wanted that cake for whatever reason--but it's just as likely she didn't want to cause a wedge with the "most famous celebrity confectioner baker dude."

whatever, it's more amusing than it is an actual issue (apparently this Trump cake is just a replica with only one layer of actual cake...which is also rather bizarre but ironically appropriate). I just hope this scandal doesn't get a -gate attached to it.

The article I read is the bakery is known for making replica cakes, someone said the Trump folks liked that one best and asked for it to be recreated. The baker did so and posted something on instagram(?) about it and some extra money was given to a charity.

Yea that what I was trying to say. If Spicer keeps it up he's going to have an aneurysm, and I'm serious about that he looked totally spazzed.

Trump is telling all federal agencies to stop tweeting. Marmelade will only be going to be coming from the king.

Sure, Trump is obviously faking numbers, but that wasn't the full extent of what Commodus was claiming.

In any case, I don't see how this is any different from the campaign trail where candidates optimized every event photo to have the most flattering angle possible. Propaganda is an important part of any government.

That's what the reporter claimed, at least. I'll drop it given that it's not necessary as it is -- Sean Spicer just told a flat-out lie about this being the most-attended inauguration ever. Not even close to being true. And of course, this being Trump's administration, questions were not allowed.

And there's a big difference between spinning the truth to tell your side of things versus telling obvious lies and hoping no one will notice (or getting mad when people invariably call you out on it). One is politics as usual; the other is dangerous to a functioning democracy. Trump must be impeached and thrown out of office.

Yup. It's going to be four years of unquestioned greatness. No dissent will be permitted and any who accuse the emperor of having no clothes will be dealt with swiftly.

I think the reporter is just saying exactly what he said: "WH has set up crowd size pics in briefing room", no comparison to Obama's inaugurations mentioned. If he is saying what you think he is, then he's blatantly peddling fake news because those are the exact same images on each screen. Look at the stripe of blue to the right of Trump in the crowd, the one person in red to the right of that, the small red spot immediately above that, etc, they're the exact same photos.

I would have thought it would take Spicer at least a few months to creep into Baghdad Bob territory but it appears he's decided to dive right in.

What a child. Hopefully the press isn't cowed by the cheeto in chief and his baby cheese puff. The press needs to go public every time they threaten to evoke credentials.

Trying to search for pussy trump protest etc yields some interesting results while looking for a decent pic.

It's all in the name of research, of course.

Trump whines and lies about his crowd size.
Spicer has a hissy fit and yells at media for pictures of his empty stands.

How predictable was that?

That press conference was truly...Orwellian.

And now for the first time, referring to a White House press conference as Orwellian is alarmingly not hyperbolic.

Own it, republicans. We all get the Musollini that you deserve. Now, can you please extricate yourselves from this country and take this orange toad with you?

Its the Presidents authority but source please.

this was reported through the anarchist, "Fake" totally not-Fox news sources and a few journals this afternoon. And the fed park twitter account suddenly apologized for "the accident"

They are to be frozen until "further orders" on Monday. You know the Inquisition is showing up in those offices and firing the handful responsible, and probably a few others in random offices as a "message."

Regardless, I wonder when the angry alt-righters and Politanupolus knobbers are going to get angry at their Chief Turnip for "silencing free speech on Twitter!"

As anyone can predict, not one of these longhair dungeonmaster youtubers will call out Racist Dorito for this fascism.

Thanks, republicans. You own this.

Trump is the rodeo clown. He'll give us circuses while his buddies loot the country.
