Boo was fat shaming her a few weeks ago.

Personally I think she is doing an amazing job considering what a frequently indefensible dickhead Trump is.

This is America, she's underweight

Here's much better, accurate, devastating body slam

Sarah Huckabee Sanders Makes the Heart Grow Fonder

But her briefings are breathtaking — certainly this week’s were.

For some 20 minutes every afternoon, down is up, paralysis is progress, enmity is harmony, stupid is smart, villain is victim, disgrace is honor, plutocracy is populism and Hillary Clinton colluded with Russia if anyone would summon the nerve to investigate her (because, you know, that never, ever happens). I watch and listen with sheer awe.

this administration takes both to perverse summits, and Sanders is its mountaineer extraordinaire.

She went so far as to take profound personal offense that anyone could read Kelly’s remarks (https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2017/10/31/john-kelly-calls-robert-e-lee-an-honorable-man-and-says-lack-of-compromise-caused-the-civil-war/?tid=a_inl&utm_term=.ae3295a4ce72), which bizarrely pinned that conflict on a generic failure to compromise, as a minimization of slavery. He was pristine. His critics were pigs.

“General Kelly was simply making the point that just because history isn’t perfect, it doesn’t mean it’s not our history,” she said on Tuesday with an impossibly straight face, utterly ignoring Kelly’s “compromise” comment and his gauzy eulogy of Robert E. Lee.

She added that journalists’ refusal to brush off those tangents was the truly “outrageous and absurd” development.

Thus she aced her favorite trick: the moral inversion of the universe.

Other press secretaries demonized the media, but not as ambitiously and artlessly as she. On Wednesday, she was reminded of her recent statement that all leaders have flaws, and

she was asked to name one of Trump’s.

“Probably that he has to deal with you guys on a daily basis,” she said.

When her boss does something execrable, she validates it at greater length and with more passion than most paid sycophants would muster.

She chalked up that tweet (http://thehill.com/homenews/administration/340018-trump-attacks-morning-joe-in-tweetstorm) of his about Mika Brzezinski (“bleeding badly from a face-lift”) to a laudably bold retaliation against a merciless adversary, and she used it as a springboard to swoon over him anew.

“I think the American people elected somebody who’s tough, who’s smart and who’s a fighter,” she said. “And that’s Donald Trump.”

So began an audacious week when she came into her mendacious own. She asserted that Trump had not politicized the deaths of eight people in Lower Manhattan because the immigration complaints that he almost instantly raised were ones that he had bellowed about before.

She’s awful at this,

but that makes her an excellent fit for an administration in which

mediocrity, inadequate experience and nepotism run rampant.

Hence her repeated references to being a working mom (http://www.businessinsider.com/sarah-huckabee-sanders-working-mothers-trump-agenda-2017-7) and managing a boisterous brood at home. Hence her invocation of religion — she’s the daughter of a rather well-known pastor — when asked during one briefing how she’d explain Trump’s worst behavior to her own children.

1942COMMENTS“When it comes to role models, as a person of faith, :lol I think we all have one perfect role model,” she answered, characteristically using a non sequitur as an evasion. “I point to God. :lol I point to my faith. :lol And that’s where I would tell my kids to look.”

But if they’re to look away from Trump, why does she so willingly look up to him?

And how does she square her faith with the purveyance of so much gobbledygook?

Maybe she tells herself that there’s no contradiction.

That would be her grandest fiction of all.

I don't think I've ever read a boutons wall of text and I'm a liberal so...

You aint missed anything.

Seems like the LA Times is belittling suburban moms, honestly. As for Sarah Huckabee Sanders, who cares. Even her name spells how she got to where she is by suckling at her papa's teet.

She's double plus good. Lets us all know how ungood the Party's enemies are.

Soon we will all be grateful for the miniplenty of the Tax cuts.

I know, because state news tells me so. That and I should be spending time worrying about hamburger emojis. Major ungood.
