“I don’t think that there will be any curtailing of Donald Trump as president,” he said. "He controls the media, he controls the sentiment [and] he controls everybody. He’s the one who will resort to executive orders more so than [President] Obama ever used them." - Ron Paul
wtf gives a crap about the crowd size anyways? I'd like it if Trump cancelled the entire WH press corp get to gethers and just had his press secretary do daily AMA's restricted to US-only I.P.s and let anybody ask questions. screw the press whores.
Personally, sometimes the official story has been true, and sometimes not. The truth seems to be somewhere in between. Claiming this was some kind of record was idiotic; there's no way to prove it. I do get the sense that viewership numbers are higher than reported (they are reporting numbers of people who watched on television, but almost everyone I know streamed it at work). There is also the matter of when the "empty white tarp" photos were taken. It should be an easy matter to review the images from the Washington Monument and find the point at which the most people are packed in there. The parade stands being empty looked awful, and it was largely due to people not showing, but also partly due to it getting dark and it having been cool and rainy all day. Do you want to sit in a wet chair once it's dark to watch some marching bands? Me neither. Especially with the prospect of 2-3 hours to get food and get to the hotel afterwards. That should have been planned for. The ceremonial signing of Executive Orders, with all the idiotic talk of pens, could have waited. The tea and luncheons and other bull$#@! could have been shorter. It was fixable.Originally Posted by TheCount
None of that, however, makes that press conference look any better. Record viewership? Can't be proven, and in the absence of proof, they are NOT going to get the benefit of the doubt.
Genuine, willful, aggressive ignorance is the one sure way to tick me off. I wish I could say you were trolling. I know better, and it's just sad.
Apparently the Trump Admin thinks it is a big deal, the WH had an entire press briefing dedicated to it.

Donald Trump does apparently. This isn't about the crowd size. It's that Trump directed his press secretary to go out and lie about a stupid point that was easily proven false. Will Trump's vanity and popularity be more important than issues? It brings into question how in the world will Trump and his staff handle an actual national crisis?
I don't watch the news, so I don't know but before this press briefing how much time was the media spending on talking about crowd size? I doubt this briefing came out of nowhere.
About as much as usual. If he didn't want to make it a thing, he should have let one of them ask about it and say, "who gives a $#@!? Next question..."

It's all about not allowing them to kill you with a thousand cuts. They will lie and lie and lie and lie. So if you make every fight a lie, you look like an $#@! but you win. So I rather be an $#@! as long as I win.
[QUOTE=francisco;6402714]And why is he reading from a hard copy during the press briefing? He did the same thing in his interview with Jon Karl. I don't recall other press secretaries doing this. Maybe they did and I don't recall. Did the Trump team do any auditions for this job? He seems like some gangster out of a James Cagney movie.

Would be quite amusing if Baghdad Bob became a viral meme in conjunction with Spicer.
He lost a bet and had to be a press secretary for a day.
No, he was hand-picked by Chief of Staff Reince Priebus, it goes back to when they partnered with Team Trump to turn the RNC into a top-down organization and shut out grassroots conservatives:

Good point. Except I'm not certain they get the win by simply responding with a transparent lie.

LOL!
Nice strategy but isn't there someone else Reince might have partnered with?
what lies?

This is the press conference, calling you out on two threads. State the Time stamp where Sean Spicer lied.
You keep saying he lied, when did Spicer lie?

His first set of executive orders targetted the TPP. The TPP is basically already dead:

Of course, the MSM, CPUd, Zippy et all, want the discussion to be about crowd sizes and lies that were never told. Because they are agents of the media deceit machine, which does not want Americans to know that Trump is definitely plunging forward. They want people arguing over nothing and media generated controversies.President Donald Trump began his four-year term of office with a series of executive orders and actions aimed at dismantling key policies of the Obama administration.
1 WITHDRAW FROM TPP
The new administration said its trade strategy to protect American jobs would start with withdrawal from the 12-nation Trans-Pacific Partnership (TPP) trade pact.
This is big News in Asia. In America, the big news is about the lie Spicer never told, but CNN said he did.

If it was a transparent lie we would be having this discussion.
Some things are blatantly obvious to everyone except those who willfully delude themselves otherwise.
so no mention of the other issue he mentioned about the media claiming that they had immediately removed the MLK bust from the office? which apparently wasn't true?
It wasn't a lot though.
Right; like it's obvious you are not the "supporting member" that you claim. In fact, you're the opposite.

Except it was a transparent lie, and we're having this discussion.
You have it backwards.
It's the Trump defenders who don't support this site's mission.
You're talking about a different issue. I am talking about TheCount.

Of course he didn't lie he just presented alternative facts.
