    Whitehouse Press Secretary is a Muppet

    White House press secretary Sean Spicer met the press for the first time in the briefing room. He walked out, denounced them for refusing to report that inauguration crowds were the biggest ever (and for other failings) then turned on his heel and walked out without taking a question or permitting anyone to challenge him. You need to watch this to believe it. Prepare for a fake-news post-truth alt-right crybaby presidency:

    I can see this all blowing up in the new right wing movements face. There was a conference in Koblenz yesterday where members of the ENF faction met, including AfD's Frauke Petry, Marine Le Pen and Geert Wilders. One of the first things they did was to ban a number of press outlets because they don't believe in free speech (actually their take on it was that they're not in the press often enough so lets ban them at our conference!)

    One news outlet got something right:

      My subconscious is annoying. It's got a mind of its own.

          He's a joke isn't he? He introduced that press conference Trump did the other week. I thought at the time he sounded like an uptight homosexual having a hissy fit over summat (like Elton John in that Tantrums and Tiara's documentary from a few years ago). I think he might prove to be good value for money

                See, we do agree on some things Complete muppet. I think that's going to be a common theme in this administration. Being thin-skinned is not a good attribute when you're in power

                  But I'm still not convinced that space could have been filled in twenty-six minutes, and things like number of passengers on the Metro system were down too, so I doubt Trump broke any attendance records
