Sean Spicer sort of forgot a private note he was handed in his briefing about The Cyber. Someone from CNN decided to sneak a peak.

This Spicer guy seems quite incompetent, doesn't he? First, he's tweeting out his passwords, now he's leaving notes lying around in the press room.

Uh, yeah. Could very well be. I don't know. What's with the tone?

He's probably asking himself just how blatant he needs to start being to help people get internal access to the administration.

"They'll find and use this one for sure!"

"LOL LOOK AT THIS IDIOT!"

"Dammit"

With two Republicans set to oppose DeVos the story being pushed is that her confirmation is in trouble. She definitely one of the least qualified people for her position. Odds another Republican grows a spine and she isn't confirmed?

He's an easy fall guy... but who else wanted (or wants) that job!

Trump traveled to Dover AFB unannounced to see the remains of the first fallen soldier to die under his command repatriated.

Forget a spine, if you're McCain or Graham how can you not vote against just to give Trump the L? They'll still eventually get a nominee that's pretty much what they want, but they get to humiliate Trump in the process.

JK Rowling trashes Trump, May and their supporters. The fascists respond by... burning her books.

She's absolutely destroying Trump supporters on Twitter as well:

Melania is enjoying the happiest period of her marriage right now. Apparently she's never coming down to the White House.

So there has been some shady business with Trumps cabinet pick hearings. Panel rules currently dictate that both Democrats and Republicans (bipartisan) confirm the cabinet picks through a number of hearings where any improprieties are reviewed.

Trump's picks for health and treasury, Price and Mnuchin, had previous perjured themselves in previous cases and they refused to present themselves to the committee to explain themselves. Democrats refused to vote until they showed up to do so.

Price and Mnuchin did not, so Senate Republicans on the committee changed the panel rules so they could confirm the picks with any Democrats present at all.
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/wo...-a7557391.html
http://www.npr.org/2017/02/01/512840...nominees?sc=tw

This is the letter the Dems on the Finance Committee sent to Orrin Hatch, asking for more answers from Price and Mnuchin about their false testimony. Orrin Hatch ignored it and changed the rules to rubberstamp Price and Mnuchin through.

More or less minimizing than specifically avoiding mentioning the 6 million Jews killed by Nazi Extremism in a statement regarding the holocaust?

What are the rules we're supposed to play by here?
