Yet where is that woman now? Tell me, in what heave does she reside? None of them. Because no God bothered to listen or care. If that is what you think it means to be a God, then you and all your teachings are welcome to do as that poor women did. And vanish from these realms forever.
I wish I had White House Press Secretary access like those reporters do. My questions would be amazing.

"Excuse me, Miss Sanders, but what percentage of white supremacist does Donald Trump think are good people compared to the overall population? 14? 88?"

"Excuse me, Miss Sanders, but are Nazis bad?"

"Excuse me, Miss Sanders, but I just have one question: is Pee tape real?"

Didn't someone ask about Trump omitting the "many sides" part of his initial Charlottesville statements when he was whining about unfair fake news at the rally?

They always are, sometimes they're entertaining though. Sean "Holocaust Centers" Spicer was much more prone to saying incredibly stupid things, though. "Even Hitler didn't use chemical weapons on his own citizens!" Reporters: :thunk:

Spicer and now Sanders just get a printout of prepared propaganda remarks where they say nice things about what Trump has been doing, then 95% of questions they deflect with "I dunno I'll have to ask and get back to you" or "how dare you FAKE NEWS ask that." The remaining 5% of questions they read prepared talking points.

It's also common to trot out a cabinet member to give some remarks and eat up time, or Skype callers with call-in questions.

Trump WH press conferences have never been about answering questions from the press, they're for delivering propaganda and deflecting questions. Spicer was just exceptionally bad at it and said some really dumb things.

The problem is that the reporters aren't trying to trap them, they're trying to get information about things the president is doing.

The fact that the ask gotcha questions at all is evidence of how crazy Trump is

Yeah, but the President and his staff don't actually know what the gently caress they're doing and couldn't give a coherent answer to most of that stuff even if they wanted to.

Plus, Spicer and Sanders are not allowed to ever clarify or explain Trump tweets/statements. Remember Spicer's response to covfefe? "I think the President and a small group of people know exactly what it means."

So you have four possible responses to questions, in decreasing order of how common each is:

1. I don't know, I'll have to get back to you / you'll have to ask that department.
2. I think the President's statement / tweet stands for itself.
3. Prepared talking points.
4. That is insulting how dare you FAKE NEWS criticize Dear Leader, I'm not going to dignify that with a response.

edit: oops I forgot #1.5 We can't comment on ongoing negotiations.

Shucks is like a space alien who kidnaps you and subjects you to a comically fake construction of a human town with a human office building where you do human work, staffed with mantis people wearing crude obvious human masks

And you can tell her a thousand times you know full well this is a fabrication and that she isn't human and she'll just smile at you and bare her teeth and soldier on like tom has had his human birthday. We are office. But the hell of it, the aliens don't even understand humans enough to understand dishonesty or to gauge that your rejection of the false reality means, you just have to keep going and watching the mantis people of the Jesus nebula fail to trick you forever

So right now, they are expecting Hurricane Harvey to come ashore as a Category 3 Hurricane, then become a tropical storm and spend approximately 72 hours looping around close to Corpus Christi.

Although Hurricane Katrina had reached Category 5, it was actually only a Category 3 when it came ashore, and it moved pretty fast northwards.

I found the last round of polling quite amusing because they included opinion of Clinton as well. Her poll numbers were just as bad which is astonishing because she isn't actively trolling half the population like Trump does via Twitter. http://i.imgur.com/8j4gE3j.png
