I yelled BATMAN BATMAN BATMAN at my Alexa...

[titaniumsalute]

and nothing happened. Nothing.

I then pretended I was going to order a batman toy over Alexa. I had to go through the "OK Alexa tell me about Batman Toys." It was not very easy as there are probably hundreds of different one. I found one at random and tried to order it and it wouldn't let me.

So no, Sanders Fuckabee was lying again.

[Raster]

1. Sarah Huckster Sanders is a liar...

...she gets paid to lie.

[TheBlackAdder]

2. Why a kid toy, and not a T-Shirt, Movie, Video Game, PJs, Door Mat, etc.? Another bullshitter.

[titaniumsalute]

3. Good points

[Docreed2003]

4. But if you ask her to tell you a Batman joke she will, lol!!

[oberliner]

5. Maybe the kid said Order Batman

And then when Alexa asked for confirmation, the kid said yes.

Seems not appropriate for her to complain about Amazon via the official Press Secretary account - especially given Trump's apparent animus towards the company.

[Kingofalldems]

14. Maybe not.

[oberliner]

16. You think she just made up the entire thing?

For what purpose?

[Kingofalldems]

18. Because she's a liar.

[oberliner]

20. OK

You think the whole thing was just entirely fabricated? There was no toy ordered via the device because of something the kid said or did? Seems a weird thing to just make up out of the blue for no reason.

[Kingofalldems]

23. Yes I do.

[oberliner]

25. Understandable

She is a blatant, unrepentant liar so I can see where you are coming from.

[COLGATE4]

35. Because Trump hates Bezos, the owner of Amazon

[oberliner]

36. Yeah, I'm starting to come around to that possibility

[COLGATE4]

37. I'm convinced that SHS's only goal in life is to please one person.

It's just too easy to get points by ridiculing the company of one of his (multitudinous) 'enemies' on a national stage like a presser.

[oberliner]

39. What was she like pre-Trump?

Did she do the same kind of thing when she was running her father's campaign?

[COLGATE4]

40. Don't know. Perhaps another DUer can give more info

[NewJeffCT]

19. No, it's not an appropriate forum to complain about Amazon

but, I'm guessing that Trump likely told her to bring it up.

This really isn't an issue that the president should be concerned with, though, I think

[oberliner]

21. Agreed

I wonder if Trump did put her up to it. Or if she just tweeted it because she knew it would please the boss to insult Amazon.

[NewJeffCT]

34. True

that is very likely as well - she did it because she knows criticizing Amazon would play well with her boss.

[rpannier]

6. I yelled Batman three times

then remembered I don't have an Alexa

[klook]

8. "Siri! Get me an Alexa!" (nt)

[oberliner]

22. Try Beetlejuice

[krawhitham]

43. +1000

[rpannier]

46. I've tried Candy Man, Boody Mary and Cao Cao

Nothing all three times. I must just not have it

[marble falls]

7. I yelled, "Trump Trump Trump" at my Alexis and got this ....

[Dave Starsky]

10. I did it, too.

[TheCowsCameHome]

9. The kid should've yelled "Big Scary Monster"

and he would have gotten another Mom.

[Zoonart]

12. Or this...

[Stanley Roper]

11. at least you didn't call out

"Bloody Mary" 3 times.

[bathroommonkey76]

13. Give this one a try.

[NewJeffCT]

17. I was just thinking that same thing myself

Beetlejuice, Beetlejuice...

[Maggiemayhem]

15. I just hope Mueller is listening in......

[Cuthbert Allgood]

24. Yeah, it sounds like bullshit.

But the cool thing is that her Amazon account has a clip she can play of what Amazon heard. I've done that a couple time when my wife adds something to the list, Alexa mishears it, and I have no idea what she meant. I can hear a recording of what my wife said. Sanders should have that for her daughter's order.

[marybourg]

26. when I set up my Alexa

I was given the option of preventing voice activated purchases.
Anyone with kids in the house should certainly have done the same.

[underpants]

27. Are we SURE it was the kid yelling out

BATMAN!
BATMAN!!
BATMAN!!!

yeah that's in your head now

[Guy Whitey Corngood]

28. If you say Batman 3 times the ghost of Adam West appears. nt

[Danascot]

29. Stop me if you've heard this

There was a joke going around at the time:

Jeff Bezos tells his Alexa, "Alexa, order olives from Trader Joes."

Alexa, "Buying all of Trader Joes confirmed."

[gibraltar72]

30. Try Alexa

plastic surgeon repeatedly and see how that works.

[lunasun]

31. It's just his mother who wanted to yell out Bezos Bezos Amazon . This was BS

[George II]

32. It's in her genes.

[sfwriter]

33. The real question is why Sanders' bad parenting and Tech ineptitude...

...should be the subject of an official White house tweet.

[left-of-center2012]

38. Can Alexa bake a pie?

Like the one Huckleberry claimed she baked?

[snooper2]

41. can you tell me what happens if you yell FUCKABEE FUCKABEE FUCKABEE at it?

LOL

[TheCowsCameHome]

42. You risk getting a stinger in your

pecker.

[Atman]

44. Of course she was lying.

It should be a Geico commercial...

"Sarah Huckabee lies through her teeth every day. It's what she does.

Saving 15% on car insurance with Geico..."

[krawhitham]

45. The toy might have been in the account's wish list

Or the kid is lying (kid ordered toy and told mom all I said was batman batman batman)
Or the mom is lying

But you can make it so you have to say a pin to buy anything with the echo
