Sarah Sanders trolls Paul Krugman
By Thomas Lifson

Trolling Trump-haters is so easy and so much fun that we are going to see a lot more of it. After all, so many people that pretend they are smart have made ridiculous predictions of doom that President Trump’s track record of success makes them look like fools.

Even Sarah Sanders can’t resist. Yesterday, on Twitter (aka, Troll Central) she posted this:

Sarah Sanders
‏Verified account @PressSec

We’ve come a long way since Paul Krugman, writing in the New York Times after the election, said the Trump presidency would bring a “global recession, with no end in sight”...




That’s a classic, and has all the elements of a successful troll tweet: foolish words from the target, a reality check, and a nice picture.

I'm proud of Sarah Sanders.

She doesn't fold under what the left considers 'withering' questions...

She's tough, smart and can handle the mostly commie press.

She really pisses them off because she doesn't find them intimidating, but rather tolerates them as the childish buffoons they generally prove to be.

No, she isn't imperious.

Just, grownup...

She's awesome!

I don't know why they put up with any of that stuff.
"Handouts of tody's information are on the table by the door. Submit any questions in writing. Have a nice day"

^^^^
Now, where's the fun in that?

She did especially well today. Same question repeated by multiple smarmy assholes, same response from Sarah, word-for-word. By the time she cut them off and walked out, they were foaming at the mouth and we were laughing.

Would it be wrong to cover the press room seats in a glaze of KY jelly?

I find lack of agreeable seating to move a meeting on quite well.

Except these people are not legitimate press. They're enemy agents and they don't even bother hiding it.

Well, what is “the press.” There are no licenses, no exams, no educational requirements, no showing of “good moral character”.... it may be like the Friday night poker game, guts or better.

We’ve had lengthy threads on this before over the years.

I like the way Al Swearengen put it to the newspaperman Merrick in Deadwood, telling him that "...you owning a printing press proves only you’ve an interest in the truth, meaning up to a fucking point—slightly more than us others maybe, but short of a fucking anointing or the shouldering of a sacred burden, unless of course the printing press was the gift of an angel. I’d want to be there for that handoff myself."

Served under a Commander that had us stand at a table. At the start of the meeting the door was locked. We did an agenda, no PowerPoint. When the agenda was done, so was the meeting. Amazing how fast meetings were.

Can see how that would upset the press.

Sarah is a great press secretary, and no other president has called out the press the way President Trump has done. But, still, I don't know why they take the shit they do take. The press reminds me of those brats running around a restaurant while the parent says, "Tyler, put that lady's glass down. And stop runni-- Tyler? Get back here right now. Do you hear me, Tyler? Stop screaming, Tyler...."

Sarah should tell them, "Please sit quietly until I recognize you to ask a question. If you shout questions, you will be told to leave the room. The same is true with follow up questions. You must wait until I recognize you for the follow up. Insults thinly veiled as questions will also get you removed from the press room. You are here at the pleasure of the President of the United States, and you must follow the rules and protocols that he has set for press briefings."

End of story.

Within a week, the biggest assholes would be gone.

Common sense tells us who the press are and what they do.

The press are journalists who disseminate facts with as little regard to bias as possible.

Yep. I honestly don't recall any WH Press Secretary having as much focus and attention on her as Sarah except maybe Spicer. They are trying to crack her like they did Spicer but the woman as big brass balls.

FIFY.

But IIRC, at the start of the Reagan administration they laid down some rules of conduct and decorum. During the Femmy Carter administration the press room looked like a coffee shop in Seattle. Reagan required they be properly dressed (men had to wear suits and ties, the women were to be appropriately dressed). They laid down other rules for the press briefings. Trump should do the same. Reagan did so because he (rightly IMO) believed that the office should merit a level of decorum. Trump needs to do it to get the level of behavior up to Romper Room levels.

Put me in the camp that really likes Sarah and admires her ability to do a very difficult job. She has handled the personal insults with dignity I doubt most in that press group could endure without throwing a hissy-fit.

Thinking back at the past press secretaries during Republican administrations, only Tony Snow comes to mind as being in her league.

WaPo ‘Fact Check’ Excuses Vicious Harassment Of Sarah Huckabee Sanders

AUGUST 4, 2018 By Rachel Stoltzfoos


The Washington Post ran a stunningly disingenuous fact check Friday on Sarah Huckabee Sanders’ claim about the way the press treats her, excusing vicious harassment of the White House press secretary and rating obviously true claims as “bogus.”

Among the most bizarre findings by Aaron Blake: The media don’t think Sanders should be “choked,” they just want to “wring” her neck. And it’s crazy for her to say anyone said she should be “harassed as a life sentence,” when they really said she should be made “uncomfortable” as a “life sentence.”

“Nobody advocated for Sanders being choked,” Blake wrote, before explaining about the time an MSNBC reporter called for another reporter to wring her neck. Sanders’ comparison of wringing a neck to choking is “uncharitable,” he claimed.

“Nobody said Sanders should be harassed as a life sentence,” Blake wrote, in an even more brazen denial of the facts. “[Jennifer] Rubin said nothing directly about people ‘harassing’ Sanders, although she did say being ‘uncomfortable’ should be a ‘life sentence’ for Sanders …”

Blake also claimed Sanders is wrong to say reporters brought comedian Michelle Wolf on stage to mock her at the White House Correspondents dinner. “Sanders makes it sound as though the press tasked Wolf with ridiculing her,” Blake wrote. Of course, that’s exactly what the reporters who invited Wolf to the dinner tasked her with, which is why the White House Correspondents Association felt the need to apologize for her appearance.

In fact, Sanders’ statement about harassment is totally accurate. “The media has attacked me personally on a number of occasions, including your own network — said I should be harassed as a life sentence, that I should be choked,” she said, adding: “When I was hosted by the [White House] Correspondents’ Association, of which almost all of you are members of, you brought a comedian up to attack my appearance and call me a traitor to my own gender.”

Blake’s “fact check” in the Washington Post is one more example of Sanders’ unfair treatment from the press. His attempt to excuse vicious and violent calls for harassment of a woman comes one day after the Washington Post excused a virulent racist hired by The New York Times, claiming Sarah Jeong’s pile of overtly racist tweets against white people were just “making fun.”

Wring: to squeeze or twist something. So the media does not want to "choke" her, just "squeeze or twist her neck." And they wonder why they have no credibility left.

Anyone who thinks “wring her neck” does not imply a fatal outcome has never raised chickens.

I'd like to think anyone who reads that "piece" (of shit), would realize what a stretch and how idiotic it is. Deep down I mean....not typical liberal posturing.
