Every morning Sean Spicer wakes up on a desert island surrounded by burning wreckage, cobbles together a raft, and rows back home, knowing full well he's only a few hours away from waking up on that god forsaken beach again.

Robot Hobo posted:I think the answer is stupidly simple. Trump can not ever admit he made a mistake, no matter how big or how utterly insignificant. A sane person would just say "Oops, I far fingered a key there" and that would be the end. Trump absolutely can not admit ANY error, and is probably demanding that his staff waste a day coming up with an explanation that makes it look intentional. If Spicer came out and said "oh yeah, that was just a typo, we all do it sometimes" his boss would probably go apeshit. And while we see that as a massive character flaw, around 40% of the country thinks it shows he's a strong leader. Everything is terrible.

I think you're really missing how much soft support Trump has. The number who think that never admitting a mistake is a sign of strength is like 20-25%.

Like if you're a CEO and your CFO is being charged with a crime, the CEO's personal lawyer wouldn't have anything to do with it. Admittedly I know nothing about this and maybe this is normal.

Jaxyon posted:Or they do realize because it gives them reason to mistreat the press and they figure that plays with the base, per Gianforte I could be wrong but I sincerely doubt that the GOP at large or Trump Administration is going to start taking lessons from the guy who lost 15 pts on their November numbers even without his literal assault that will plague his entire term having enough time to affect most of the votes. The simpler answer is that Sean Spicer has been picking fights with the press pool since DAY 1 and they simply don't want to answer questions and never have. And they never, ever do even the bare minimum of thought about the consequences of their actions or the mess it will create for them later. Like when they turn a stupid typo memo into a longer story by giving an absurd non-answer to it that makes it seem like the President can't admit he's human.

I have no proof of it but regardless of what's happening in her life I feel confident saying Hillary Clinton has a lawyer. We'd all have one if we could afford it just to keep us from loving up. They could read all those terms we always agree to but never read.

There's little good reason for the president"s personally hired attorney to answer questions about investigations into other people. Either he's representing them too in which case there is a potential conflict of interest or he isn't in which case he's throwing those other folks under the bus and they should get their own attorneys.

I can only speak for me, but yes. I was taught from an early age to lawyer the gently caress up asap and don't say poo poo. When it comes to any lawsuit I would direct any and all inquiries made to me to my lawyer. And Let my Lawyer say whatever needs to be said.

If it were up to me, I'd still suggest that an attorney for the campaign should be speaking for the campaign, and everyone else should get their own independent attorneys.
