[ehrnst]

[yallerdawg]

1. Who's that in the background...

and is she shaking her head again?

[targetpractice]

5. April Ryan from American Urban Radio Networks n/t

[asiliveandbreathe]

13. April's expression - PRICELESS!

[Brother Buzz]

23. April Ryan may be using American Urban Radio Networks press credentials, but....

CNN just signed her as a political analyst after locking horns with Spicer last week.

[salin]

2. classic.

[ms liberty]

3. With the added bonus of April Ryan behind her

With her head swiveling around, as if she's looking to see if anyone else is as shocked as she is, lol. Too bad she and Ashley Parker weren't sitting together - that would have been interesting!

[PearliePoo2]

7. YES! April was looking around to see if anybody else is going WTF??

Like: "Are you guys HEARING this...WAIT, WHAT DID HE JUST SAY"??

[Glimmer of Hope]

21. She was shaking her head again. She can't stop.

[Skittles]

29. she's not the only one

[chia]

4. I'm laughing... that could so be me

Love it. She speaks eloquently for so many of us watching this circus.

[Phentex]

6. Didn't you just want someone to stand up and shout...

"WHAT THE HELL?! YOU ARE AN IDIOT!"

[Ilsa]

31. I'm thinking it will eventually happen...

His stupidity will go too far, insult too many, and someone will be personally offended and they'll yell that or worse at him. They won't care that they'll be fired, and will be glad they went out in a blaze of glory.

Or perhaps they'll sardonically ask an insulting question and SS will be clueless.

[tavalon]

36. Yes, actually, that's exactly what I want

Every fucking day.

[Stinky The Clown]

8. I saw this on Brian Williams' show last night and laughed out loud.

It felt good.

Ms. Parker has a greater affinity for the right side of the political spectrum than the left, so with her being the poster child for Spicer Incredulity Syndrome, it was even funnier.

[Ilsa]

32. S.I.S. --- I like it. nt

[PearliePoo2]

9. Her eyebrow expressions...fucking PRICELESS!

I could watch this all day!!

[Iggo]

10. That's beautiful.

April Ryan's reaction was also great.

[Glimmer of Hope]

22. Omg. I am laughing so hard!

[Kber]

11. Priceless!!

[gratuitous]

12. I think we can all agree that yesterday Sean Spicer truly became the presidential press secretary

Isn't that right, Brian? Van? Fareed?

[asiliveandbreathe]

14. But, it was beautiful..right Brian..POS!

[grantcart]

26. Absolutely right. His apologies were as presidentiallity pressly secretarial as you can get

Connecticut College and the Naval War College must be so proud.

He is helping his wife though. Wiki notes that she is is senior vice president, communications and public affairs, for the National Beer Wholesalers Association and they must see a big increase sales of beer whenever he is on the TV.

[nycbos]

15. The best WTF look ever.

[Hekate]

16. Ashley and April: best ever at incredulity

[progressoid]

17. OMG. I've been watching this for a couple minutes!

Too funny.

[machoneman]

18. P-R-I-C-L-E-S-S! n/m

n/m

[IronLionZion]

19. Unless you're a member of the alt-right

you wouldn't appreciate the importance of holocaust denial. Hitler was misunderstood and slandered by the liberal media.

[Hekate]

20. Kicking for another night. This is just so good.

[tavalon]

24. I could watch this all day.

Ashley lacks poker face.

[WePurrsevere]

33. I was actually sort of impressed with the reporter asking the question...

The other two, April and Ashley had absolutely perfect reactions but I also watched the reporter's facial features as she listened to his reply and talk about a poker face. There seemed to be a couple of tiny 'tells' that she had a, 'did I just hear what in think I did' moment, but she remained cool and 'professional'. I would have had a heck of a hard time keeping a straight face in those circumstances.

I watched for other reactions amongst the press but it seemed to go over the heads of the others, at least in that frame.

[tavalon]

34. Yeah, I recently was supposed to have used poker face

when my CNO lied to me in front of the whole organization. I failed. Miserably.

[WePurrsevere]

37. Lying like that I would definitely have failed miserably too...

I used to have a pretty good poker face, especially when dealing with patients/clients and kids, but as I've aged I find I'm much more inclined to call people on BS so it's probably a good thing that I don't normally have to put that mask on anymore.

[tavalon]

38. Amen

I am a nurse of almost 30 years and yeah, I have a great poker face in that venue. I will answer every question with respect, even if it's the fifteenth time they have asked it. I hide anything that would seem unprofessional in that area, so I guess I do have a poker face, in the right context. No way, no how, will I ever leave a patient's parent feeling stupid.

Now, in the rest of my world, my tolerance for BS is rapidly dwindling to zero.

[WePurrsevere]

39. You have my deep respect...

I truly admire and respect the patience it takes to be a nurse.

I could only lasted a few years as a LPN and it wasn't the patients at all that were the last straw as much as a few of the doctors and the higher admin (and I left around 30 yrs ago). I decided to take a break then went back to school to work on an MSW and ended that with a DX of MS instead. (My background and personality has made me an 'interesting' patient I must admit... lol).

I've never dealt well with BS, certain attitudes, ethics, etc but aging, while making me a bit more tactful normally, has also made me even more outspoken... although I suppose that I really need to stop teasingly telling certain people who tell me that they're a Republican, "I'm sorry". Although I must admit the look on their face sort of makes it worth it.

[tavalon]

40. I love nursing except for what you mentioned

We are in tough negotiations and I just have to remember, I wear my union hat for certain things and for the babies and their wonderful parents, well, I give it all. I always have.

And BTW, it was an LPN who taught me my first IV skills. And then they got rid of LPNs on my unit. Pissed me off.

[tavalon]

41. I'm sorry

I love that response. I would like to see the face of which you speak. Too bad way too much of my life does revolve around work. I won't do that to my fellow nurses, though blessedly, there appear to be few who actually fly the Republican flag.

[WePurrsevere]

42. Sometimes it's a blessing that...

I can't a regular job anymore.

The longer Trump is president the more my normal filters seem to break down. I can still restrain myself if truly needed but people foolish enough to tell me that they're a Republican like it's something they're super proud of tend to push me into wanting to laugh at them and even more so when I know their stances on issues are actually more in line with being a moderate to left leaning Democrat.

Luckily I'm hearing a lot less R pride and more 'WTH' lately so I have a bit of hope that some people are waking up.

[VOX]

25. Parker's thought bubble: "Smells like future toast."

"To be served, unbuttered, very soon."

[JHan]

27. Hahahahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa

[WinkyDink]

28. "STOP with your EYES! STOP IT! CALM DOWN! I'm ANSWERING your QUESTION! Don't make Spicey MAD!"

SNL is gonna be great.

[tavalon]

35. There is that

Priceless, I suspect. Nail in the coffin, I also suspect.

Unfortunately for the woman doing Spicey but I think her/his time at the podium will be measured in days if not hours.

[Warren DeMontague]

30. YOUUU DIDDNT REEEAALLLY JUSSST SAAAYY THHAAA-HOOLLYY FUUUCCK YOUUU DIDDD
