Sean Spicer's Ruthless Resignation Letter

[djAdvocate]

caution one: quite profane
caution two: from a source as reliable as any Paul/cadre uses

Dear President Fuckwad,

If you’ve read this far, you know that I believe you’re a truly historic moron who’s mistep-a-minute, goofball presidency would be phenomenally funny if it wasn’t so spectacularly dangerous.

Surrounding yourself with a gaggle of ass-kissing flunkies (yes, I admit I was one) doesn’t make you seem more authoritative or powerful, it just proves you’re a sniveling weakling, an insecure man-child, and an unstable ignoramus with zero ability to lead.

I am so jealous. I was in Austin back in 89 while this was going on. Think it was relatively new then but loved it. Have a kickass good time. Now I think this may go on travel list for next year. Thanks for the reminder years later.

Not a real letter.

Yes, it's vulgar.  But, it's STILL awesome.

I did, but what's the point if it's not real? The fun of listening to a blogger spit venom at the Trump administration?

Were you not among the members opining about a lack of respect for political adversaries in government and on YMAM throughout the post-election season? Have you not repeatedly condemned Paul, Shooby, VB, and others for posting "What Liberals Really Think" and "Why Democrats are Useless" hyperpartisan pieces that cement the divide between left and right?

Food for thought while you're on your way to Austin. Have a safe trip.

Oh lighten up, Virgil.  It is (although quite vulgar) incredibly witty satire.  Political satire is an American tradition.  I'm sure Canadians enjoy political satire, don't they?

Paul/Shooby/VB post "what liberals think" in seriousness.

This is entertainment.

Satire is subtle. This piece is a crude polemic that happens to use a lot of sarcasm.

As for "lightening up", hold yourself to the same standard I'm asking of DJ: if you want fewer "What Liberals Really Think" hit pieces on YMAM, don't post this kind of article; if you want the same number of hit pieces, accompanied by suggestions to "lighten up", carry on. Simple math.

Settle your priorities. Choose which you value more: building bridges or lampooning the enemy.

I think we can have different opinions of what "satire" is.  

I also think on these forums, for the time being anyway, people can post pretty much what they want as long as it's within the CoCs.  Not a big fan of dictating what people post.

And I really don't care how many "what liberals think" kinds of posts conservatives want to put up.  All those posts do is  demonstrate a shallow and silly mindset

I don't particularly mind hit pieces by either side either, which is why I haven't complained that YMAM is too partisan.

DJ and other prominent members have. Repeatedly.

Calling BS on that one. The only complaints about supposed YM partisanship that I've seen has come from the conservatives.

This resignation must have been written after Spicer said this earlier today:

Spicer, meanwhile, also appeared to suddenly reinterpret Trump's original accusation, saying that his boss had meant "there's a whole host of tactics that can be used to monitor somebody, either wiretap or other ways that you can surveil somebody."

"He doesn't really think President Obama tapped his phone personally," Spicer said, directly contradicting Trump's early morning March 4 tweets.


"Just found out that Obama had my 'wires tapped' in Trump Tower just before the victory. Nothing found. This is McCarthyism!" Trump posted then.

"Bad (or sick) guy!" he added about Obama "I'd bet a good lawyer could make a great case out of the fact that President Obama was tapping my phones in October, just prior to Election!"


Justice Department must prove Trump's wiretapping claims: Spicer

[Shooby]

Why is this under Politics?  Just more Fake news from the Left.

Maybe it should be filed under Political Jokes. But then it would still be under Politics, wouldn't it.

[mroped]

Good grief people!
It is just a fake thing! It's satire! A bit crude but nonetheless, funny!
Read and have a laugh or don't!

It is not meant to be a political attack or anything else.

[toshmanta]

I took Virgil's response as pure satire.

[countrygirl2]

I was getting excited, dang

[ken a.k.a OMK]

I do feel sorry for Spicer having to fix what lying Trump says. I don't think he can last long as press secretary if he has a conscience.

have a great week, everyone.  i am off to Austin, TX. 

1. Post is profane.
2. Post is a thinly veiled personal attack not only on me, but on a "cadre of uses"
3. Post is demonstrably completely false.
4. SXSW has not been good since 1992 which is why I no longer bother. 
5. Post is an end run around my "BUT THE SOURCE!" rule. In implying my sources are not reliable by comparing them to the obviously unreliable source here, poster avoids the responsibility of a specific, documented case where something I posted was not true, which I will remind the poster is not an argument. OBEY MY RULES.

Spicer must count on people having very short term memory loss.  Or no internet...
