Is there any way to interpret these gaggles as anything but a face-saving measure for Spicer on those days he's feeling particularly flustered?

Reports of Trump being "too articulate" feel exactly the same as the stories of Kim Kong Il playing his first game of golf and coming in 38 under par. They're bullshit on such a grand level that no sane person could ever believe it, but said completely straight-faced as if we are expected to... And somehow, some people will believe it because their minds have been broken

That never happened.

It was some Australian newspaper that made that up, taking some posted score card that was scored relative to par and counting it like it was absolute scores. The actual claimed score was like, good amateur level. Totally reasonable.

North korea is a huge propoganda state, but any time you hear any of the weird supernatural claims it's almost always just jokes and rumors and urban legends. None of that stuff was ever real or real propoganda, just western inventions of "these guys will believe ANYTHING about north korea!"

Sweet Jesus just say he fell asleep while tweeting. Everyone falls asleep every loving day, they'll understand. Or got interrupted and set it down but accidentally hit the Tweet button. They'll have a giggle, but they'll move on. Trying to cover it up as being intentional when it wasn't even a complete thought is beyond retarded, even for this exceptionally retarded administration.

Spicy got asked straight up "Should people be concerned that the President put out an incoherent tweet in the middle of the night that stayed up for hours with seemingly no one in the White House noticing it?"

And Sean's response was an utterly amazing "..........no."

To admit is to admit fallibility and despite appearances they try to limit that, because someone thinks we're all idiots.

Watching you sleep.

Butt first, let's
check the feeds.

Second straight day Spicer abruptly called the briefing short after only a few questions. Apparently they dont realize they're just giving the press pool more reason to be hostile and aggressive.

Meanwhile he manages to give a cryptic, weird non answer to the question that SHOULD have gotten "it was a dumb typo, get over it".

Good lord the amount of insecurity they have is mesmerizing.

Why not just make a statement like: "The president obviously meant 'coverage' and had more to write but, as we've all experienced, he had a little fumble with the phone after being interrupted because of (afghanistan news, or really any excuse they care to make up that's more important than loving shitposting on twitter) and was occupied by that for a while before he could find time to go back and realize the erroneous tweet was actually sent out"

How hard is that?
