1. Who are you going to believe? Sean or a bunch of cell phone photos?

Ya think this might come up tomorrow morning at the daily briefing?

2. That's some mighty fancy fan dancing, there, Sean.

Y'all giving Sally Rand a run for the title.

This is the equivalent of throwing kibble at a crowd of stray dogs.

Notice the things that AREN'T being discussed?

Like... ethics violations?

Conflicts of interest?

Russian dossier?

wearily,
Bright

3. But he is lying, he only lies. Never

ever, not once, not ever tells the truth.

Never.

4. Like anybody believes Sean "Baghdad Bob" Spicer any more

than they believe Kellyanne Conjob. About the only consistent thing with this bunch is that they're all lying, all the time.

5. Yep - heard on CNN - the meet was about the press conference, not the NK missile. Makes sense

Since the launch was an hour earlier. And they did the presser right after.

News of Pyongyang's launch had emerged an hour earlier, as Trump was preparing for dinner in his residence. Officials had concluded the Musudan-level missile flew 310 miles off North Korea's eastern coast before crashing into the Sea of Japan.
...
On Saturday evening, as the two men walked through Mar-a-Lago's ornate wrought-iron doors on their way to dinner, neither responded to questions about the launch from reporters.

Swanning through the club's living room and main dining area alongside Abe, Trump was -- as is now typical -- swarmed with paying members, who now view dinner at the club as an opportunity for a few seconds of face time with the new President.

But as he sat down for the planned working dinner with Abe, whose country is well within range of North Korea's missiles, it was clear his counterpart felt it necessary to respond to the test. The launch occurred just before 8 a.m. on Sunday morning in Japan.

Trump's national security adviser Michael Flynn and chief strategist Steve Bannon left their seats to huddle closer to Trump as documents were produced and phone calls were placed to officials in Washington and Tokyo.

6. What ever happened to getting ahead of the story? They let this drip, drip out there all day..

7. They wanted that. They wanted to "catch" the press.

So they can do the injured innocence, you're-always-picking-on-us routine.

And thus undercut the power of the media coverage outside their own spin zone.

It's a (you should excuse the expression) "false flag op."

helpfully,
Bright

8. Kidding right? They would love that sort of 'irresponsible reporting'...just more fuel.

9. he wanted his fans to see him

being a president. Doubt he thought twice about national security.
