    It doesn't matter who they have as the public face. Trying to defend the indefensible is going to result in people saying some extremely stupid things. Republicans and Trump just thought they could spin and B.S. their way through these but that isn't how reality works out side of their propaganda bubble. That is why they are always upset and afraid of real news outlets because they actually ask meaningful questions about important issues and then call them out when they say something completely stupid.

    They'll just get someone worse.
    Spicey was willing to kick out cameras, and force them to have to use sketch artists, but he wasn't willing to KILL reporters.
    The next guy will.
    Maybe he'll even be a little rapey first before getting down to the real killing.

    "Oh, that's ridiculous, Dickey! You're stuuuuuuupid".

    *6 months, and several rape-murders later*

    "Fuuuuuuuuuuuck! :shock:".

    Me- Right? :bailey:

    Spicey's an incompetent idiot. With at least a trace of a conscience. Sarah Huckabee... she hasn't. Expect the lies to flow without interruptions now.

    The new communications director is some Wall Street hack named Scaramucci. He was nominated in January but held up by ethics investigations. Trump said fuck it and hired him anyway, apparently prompting Spicey's resignation.

    Also I find it hilariously appropriate that Scaramucci is a clown from Italian commedia dell'arte.

    Sean Spicer -- probably a fine fellow, average Republican, but put in the impossible position of having to defend Trump's shenanigans daily.

    I'm sure whatever's next for him in life will be better.

    I know I shouldn't, but I can't help feeling bad for Spicey. As much as he degraded himself to cover for Trump and he was left out of the audience w/Pope Francis.

    He was worse though.
    No murder-rapes though. :(
    Although, he only lasted 10 days, so....

    I was pleased to see that Melissa McCarthy won an Emmy for playing Spicey on SNL. :lol:

    We didn't get to know Scaramucci long enough.
