Breaking right now on CNN and Fox. Supposedly he is getting a "promotion" lmao. I will post with more updates asap.

CNN is now running commercials and Fox is talking about the usual Fox crap. I don't know who is replacing Spicer (that may not have been announced yet). The president was apparently unhappy with his press team's handling of the Russia news. They are both on the Warmbier story now.

Fox is discussing it live now. Saying Spicer is getting "promoted." 5:01 pm eastern. CNN just updated story. Jim Acosta said that Spicer is finding his own replacement.

I hope he hires Corey Lewandowski. Heeheehee

Quote from Politico story (since someone accused me of posting fake news -- here are three links to the story and I will update as soon as more info comes in):

"White House press secretary Sean Spicer is leading a search for his own replacement at the briefing room podium as part of a larger plan to shake up the White House communications operations, according to two people with knowledge of the effort
.
Last week, Spicer and White House chief of staff Reince Priebus reached out to Fox News personality Laura Ingraham about the role of press secretary and Daily Mail editor David Martosko about the role of communications director, according to a White House official."

I have just added Politico (raw story links to the Politico story):

46. The irony. It hurts.

[Towlie]

[bettyellen]

77. They're doing their level best to destroy MSNBC and CNN and giving everyone else

Scoops I part of that. Also, when they leak things for good PR and don't want the source characterized as "close (friendly) to the WH" they have learned the hard way that WaPo MSNBC and CNN won't do that for them.

[tblue37]

91. Maybe he will quote Nixon about the press not having him to kick around any mored. nt

[unblock]

2. failing upward! so much winning!

[LOL Lib]

9. lol excellent summary.

Little Sean fell going up the stairs!

[NightWatcher]

3. Congrats to the new White House Easter Bunny 🐰

[geek tragedy]

4. is this a fact or just another rumor? nt

[underpants]

15. I can't find anything on it

There are several articles about him moving up to a policy role.

[greytdemocrat]

24. Don't see anything

on CNN about this.

[anneboleyn]

33. Posted links to raw story and Bloomberg. Best right now.

[anneboleyn]

21. As soon as anything gets updated I wish post it. Neither CNN nor fox are discussing it now.

I suspect that Spicer's meeting today was about this issue.

[Skittles]

5. want to redeem yourself, Spicy? START SINGING

[unblock]

6. my sympathies go out to melissa. this must be rough for her.

[BumRushDaShow]

11. She knew it was coming. That's why she rolled over to the Tower on the podium

[bagelsforbreakfast]

7. his replacement? THE INVISIBLE MAN! n/m

[leftstreet]

13. CNN's Jim Acosta's socks

Link to tweet

Jim Acosta?Verified account @Acosta 2h2 hours ago

The Spicer off-camera/no audio gaggle has begun. I can't show you a pic of Sean. So here is a look at some new socks I bought over the wknd

[anneboleyn]

17. Cool socks.

[spiderpig]

28. Reporters crack me up.

Can you imagine the stuff they're saying that doesn't get on camera?

[Mr.Bill]

82. When I was in high school in the 60s

our journalism teacher took us to a national journalism convention. The out takes video they showed at the banquet was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. And very X rated. I don't think they planned on having high school kids in the audience.

[spiderpig]

89. Hee. I often think about Katie Tur

during the interminable primaries, and how she must have been thinking "Here I am stuck with this ridiculous joker of a candidate and my career is going straight down the toi-toi."

Now she's anchoring everything. Would I ever love to sit down at a pub with her.

[gratuitous]

50. Nautical but nice

[luvMIdog]

52. ....

[EarnestPutz]

80. Dress for Success

Jim Acosta wants to be an anchorman on CNN.

[Catmusicfan]

8. REALLY? Wow on a Monday...

This is going to be a crazy week.

[onecent]

10. Now I dont want to listen to that one girl??? I dont remember her name!! Huckabee?

[anneboleyn]

14. Yes, Huckabee's daughter. I don't think she'll be named. She is very, very weak so it would be to

Trump's detriment of course.

[hlthe2b]

16. Uggh... just the thought of her makes me miss Spicer already. Just uggh.

[OnDoutside]

22. Then again Daddy Fuckabee was out batting for Trump at the weekend...

[spiderpig]

31. She seems like such a mean-spirited person.

At least Hapless Spicey has a kind of kicked-puppy please-like-me quality.

Maybe they'll give him a little office where he can wear his bunny suit 24/7.

[BigmanPigman]

44. I am a woman and don't like to use female gender based insults, but you can use your imagination..

[3catwoman3]

61. She has a really mean facial expression.

Looks a lot like her dad.

I always change the first letter of their last name to an "F."

[Laffy Kat]

35. Woman, not girl.

I don't like her either, but let's give her the credit of being over 18.

[Warren DeMontague]

76. True. She only seems to have the MIND of a nine year old. She is, after all, a full grown adult.

However, growing up in a family where you're told the Universe is 6,000 years old and Jesus rode a dinosaur isn't exactly conducive to mental maturity.

[Kleveland]

39. You mean Scarey Huckleberry Slanders?

Or was it Suckabee..... ?

[3catwoman3]

63. Actually, it is...

...Fuckabee.

[Kleveland]

81. I cannot and will not argue with a devotee of cats!

And books are good too!

[adigal]

88. She is too busy watching her brother murder dogs

"During his father's 2008 presidential campaign, both Newsweek and the Los Angeles Times reported that the younger Huckabee had been dismissed as a Boy Scout camp counselor in 1998.Huckabee, then two weeks shy of his 18th birthday, was alleged to have been involved in the hanging and stoning to death of a stray dog."

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/David_Huckabee

[Scarsdale]

93. Sarah Suckabee Sanders

is only a "4" on tRump's 1 - 10 scale, so no it will not be her.

[niyad]

96. suckabee sanders is a grown woman, not a girl.

[panader0]

12. It seems as if tRump is doing away with press briefings anyway.

[OnDoutside]

18. Gulp ! It might be that Ambassadorship to Ireland after all !!!

[gordianot]

19. Peter Principle defined and totally vindicated.

Trump must be hoping SNL is going to take a hit in ratings or Spicey had at total breakdown today.

[mrJJ]

20. The Onion.. :)

[Madam45for2923]

23. I am going to give myself a nice promotion!: going to my kitchen and get some dinner.

[woodsprite]

25. Well, when you hitch your tug to the Titanic, it's gonna pull you under. n/t

[anneboleyn]

36. I was going to comment on the size of Trump's butt but then decided it would be rude...

[smirkymonkey]

26. Whatever happened to the Irish Ambassador role?

Is that still in play? If I were him I would be jumping for joy! That had to be the most miserable job in the world.

[underpants]

29. Trump could pull a Pope move on him.

Literally call him off the plane as he's about to leave.

[Tiggeroshii]

27. He's being "promoted" back to Easter bunny

[SummerSnow]

30. Spicer: " NO MORE HIDING IN THE BUSHES FOR ME"

[lpbk2713]

32. Wants to spend more time with family.

[RKP5637]

34. Replaced by "Amazon Echo!" n/t

[MontanaMama]

37. Spicey, we're going to need to go ahead

and move you down to storage room B.

[anneboleyn]

40. BUT THATS MY STAPLER! (Love that movie)

[MontanaMama]

43. Oh me too!

So true if you've ever had the experience of working in a corporate environment. I'm betting Spicer feels like Milton every damned day.

[lpbk2713]

48. "Maybe you can take care of that roach problem."

[Ilsa]

49. I haven't been paid in three months

[MontanaMama]

51. Milton's got a sweet stapler there...

[BumRushDaShow]

67. They actually sell those

swinglines in that color (thanks to the movie).

[luvMIdog]

54. hahahahaha!

[Ilsa]

56. "Uh, yeah. A little more to the left. {Slurp}"

[Ilsa]

58. It's a gross figment of the Peter's imagination,

but it was such a funny chariacature.

[regnaD kciN]

38. Well, I guess Melissa McCarthy is looking for work...

[anneboleyn]

42. From here, I think it can only get better for her. Melissa as Lewandowski would be hilarious.

[beachbum bob]

41. sounds like fake news to me until its real news...

[anneboleyn]

45. Read the links. They aren't "fake news." They all say the same thing.

[NastyRiffraff]

83. US News and World Report good enough?

https://www.usnews.com/news/politics/articles/2017-06-19/sean-spicer-to-lead-communications-office-searches-for-new-press-secretary

Good news! Apparently he'll be leading the Communications Dept. He'll still be there to fuck things up.

[lindysalsagal]

47. Someone should put Melissa McCarthy on 24/7 suicide watch.

Let's hope she's ready for his replacement.....

[Mad-in-Mo]

53. Just so long as it is not that Huckabee Sanders woman.....

[luvMIdog]

55. they're afraid to say someone's been fired anymore

[Saboburns]

57. Best thing that ever happened to him

I suspect he knows it is too.

[anneboleyn]

60. Yep. He is being "promoted" right out of his job as press secretary! Lol.

[lunasun]

59. From day 1 it was

[hatrack]

62. "This is the biggest promotion, Ever, PERIOD!!"

[lindysalsagal]

64. Promoted: Here's his new office:

[elfin]

65. Distraction of the day......

Was always going to happen - just needed the right moment to avert our eyes from something else.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

71. Distraction from the analytics data exposure story. . . . nt

[Tiggeroshii]

66. "daily mail editor?"

Our next press secretary will be the editor of a British newspaper?

[liberal N proud]

68. I guess that means Melissa McCarthy is out of a job too?

[orangecrush]

69. No final decision yet

According to the Bloomberg link.

"The discussions on reorganizing the White House communications operation are still preliminary and no final decision has been made, the people said."

[House of Roberts]

70. Ok.

Since Eunuch Penis won last week's royal fluffer contest, I have to believe Chief of Staff is open also.

[bora13]

73. even kisses have a shelf life

i guess his ass-kisses have reached their shelf-life!

[Warren DeMontague]

74. Promoted to HEAD BUNNY y'all

[japple]

75. He's going to the basement with KellyAnne? Almost feel sorry for him.

Everyone in this admin. is a joke. Why doesn't tRump just resign.

BTW...has anyone seen or heard from him since he left for Camp David?

[samnsara]

78. i will kind of miss him.. i thought of him as my little pet...

[countryjake]

79. You can add this CNN link to your OP...

Sean Spicer might be leaving White House podium

http://www.cnn.com/2017/06/19/politics/sean-spicer-may-be-leaving-the-white-house-podium/index.html

Washington (CNN) The White House is mulling a new role for White House press secretary Sean Spicer that would take him away from the podium and into a different role inside the West Wing, a White House official said Monday.

It remains unclear when the change might happen for Spicer, who for months has found himself at the center of discussions about a potential West Wing shakeup; the official said the timing remains fluid.

"It just seems chaotic," the official said.

The shakeup would cap off Spicer's tumultuous six-month tenure at the White House podium, which made him not only one of the administration's most prominent personalities, but also the face of the White House's unfocused messaging strategy.

[Gothmog]

84. Bye bye

[Eyeball_Kid]

85. Laura Ingraham! Our favorite Nazi!

[certainot]

94. that would be great, she's so steeped in limbaugh/talk radio memes and talking points it

will be hilarious to see the press respond hearing it directly presented as fact

[underpants]

86. Awww poor Spicey

I haz sad for him. Yes he's a liar but it was fun to see him almost pop a blood vessel everyday.

[LiberalLovinLug]

87. I could predict this

Trump style of fascism requires frequent changing of the guard. Because inevitably whoever is press secretary will have to fend off questions about Trumps latest lies. He or she will be associated with those lies. So a fresh face, and they will use the excuse that they are new here and 'catching up' on things, and so in effect the press will have to start all over with a new person.

But soon, whoever replaces Sean will no doubt be riddled with daily questions as Trump continues to lie and act like a fool. And when their face too is associated with Trump and his lies a little too much, they will also be replaced quickly.

I would think Trump, as Fox News does, prefer an attractive youngish blonde to take over. Bush used Dana Perino. Its the GOP way. Whatever you want to think, society has put a stigma on treating young attractive women rudely. Making any poor ignorant blonde stumble and stutter trying to come up with another excuse for her sex abusing daddy king will look bad on the reporter. Plus the bonus of more males, especially in Trumps base, of only paying surface attention and nodding their heads in a lusty haze and in perpetual agreement, is a proven method for the RW in getting their talking points ingrained.

[Marie Marie]

90. Am I the only one here who thinks that secretly, Spicer must be relieved?

Who the Hell would want the job of Trump 'splainin' all the insanity of our current Prez? He became a national laughingstock in a few short months.

[George II]

92. Aw, he was fun to watch and then riducule. We're going to miss him, but not as much...

....as Melissa McCarthy will miss him.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

95. He is now Trump's official

bottom wiper.
