Sean Spicer will have a press briefing this afternoon.

[MineralMan]

The time is now 1:30 PM EST, delayed from the original 12:00 PM. Who knows when it will actually happen.

I wonder if this is going to be another scolding lecture from Spicer to the press or a real press briefing with questions. Guess I'll have to watch it.

You can watch it at the link below, live, when it finally happens:

1. Great!

I really like comedy!

[guillaumeb]

2. One can only assume that it will be filled with alternative facts.

Interesting how paid liars like Spicer and Conway can feign outrage when they are caught in their lies.

[HipChick]

3. That's their job

[guillaumeb]

6. Nice hat on the eagle.

And yes, they are paid to lie, not to have a sense of morality.

[hells]

4. A truck driver just lost his marbles. The press is saying they are around 250000 but

the brietbart house white house said that this is all fake news and the marbles are in fact 1.5 million and they will prove it in their press briefing.

[cynatnite]

5. I hope someone asks him about Dippin Dots. n/t

[Rustyeye77]

7. I hope the WHPC rips him a new one.

" Mr. Sphincter...er... Mr. Spicer... is that the truth or an alternate fact?

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

8. The last thing I want to watch on a gloomy Monday morning

is another bizarre diatribe from Sean Sphincter.

9. The press shouldn't even show up

If he's going to a podium to make lies that can be easily disproven AND he won't take questions, what's the point?

Being a member of the press doesn't mean all you do is take dictation. Fuck Baghdad Sean.

[Javaman]

10. his opening comment will be...

"this is not the press conference you are looking for..." than twiddle his fingers in a magician sort of way.

he will be completely serious.

[GusBob]

11. unable to watch. please post udates

thanks in advance

[onethatcares]

12. running late, again

probably just a scam to get everyone in the room then they'll be late again.

[MineralMan]

13. Yes, and deliberately, no doubt.

A weak attempt at intimidation.

[jeanmarc]

14. How can he be late for his own press conference?

It's pretty much his only job. Did he even wake up today?

[jeanmarc]

15. Here's the sneaky little shit now.

[Achilleaze]

16. Time to break out the Dippin Dots

Perfect snack to pair with Alternative Facts.

[jeanmarc]

19. Looks good for throwing at him(nt)

17. CNBC

It's delayed about a minute. CSPAN is running it in real time. I don't know what that means.

Watch live: White House spokesman Sean Spicer's first official press conference
41 Mins Ago

White House spokesman Sean Spicer is scheduled to give his first "official" press conference of the Trump administration at 1:30 p.m., ET, Monday. ... Spicer's appearance before the White House press corps is his first after blasting reporters on Saturday evening over what he called "deliberately false reporting" by some media outlets about the size of crowds at President Donald Trump's inauguration the prior day.

"Photographs of the inaugural proceedings were intentionally framed in a way, in one particular tweet, to minimize the enormous support that had gathered on the National Mall," Spicer fumed that day.

He went on to claim that "this was the largest audience to ever witness an inauguration — period — both in person and around the globe." Spicer left that short press briefing without answering any questions.

Spicer's claims were undercut by timestamped aerial photos showing much sparser crowds on the Mall during Trump's inauguration than the crowds that gathered for Barack Obama's swearing-in as president in 2009. ... Washington, D.C.'s transit system also reported lower ridership on the system in comparison to Obama's first inauguration.

18. First of all Spicer has a big smile on his face today

and his suit is better fitting.
