How Many Times Has Spicer Said 325,000 People And Only 109 Were Inconvenienced,,,,,

and how many times has he said that the 'majority of the American People' agree with the president?

Talking points they keep repeating so that they stick in the minds of the masses.

The 'majority of the American People' line really pisses me off - because we all know that that is not true. Yet the press never challenges that lie and asks where they are getting their information.

the far more than 109 of us see the 109 or whatever actually detained or exiled and then have to change our view of what's possible in this world and change plans accordingly.

how many permanent residents now feel trapped in the u.s., fearing that they won't be able to return?

how many executives of american companies now have to refuse to go on business trips abroad for the same reason?

how many others will now worry about taking a vacation abroad for fear that donnie will come up with another surprise executive order while they're out of the country?


this is not 109 people.

this affects millions.

To spicer that means Americans overwhelmingly support trump.

They don't even stand and identify which outfit they are reporting for. Half of a question is knowing who the questioner is. The press corp has devolved into a chorus. Yea, verily, yea! I miss Helen.

...that if the rights of even one person were violated, that makes it illegal.

Shove that 109 number right down his throat.
