SNIP.....

A White House official told the Washington Post that the mass shooting as a Florida school last week gave a White House struggling with a domestic abuse scandal a break.

Said the official: “For everyone, it was a distraction or a reprieve. A lot of people here felt like it was a reprieve from seven or eight days of just getting pummeled… But as we all know, sadly, when the coverage dies down a little bit, we’ll be back through the chaos.”

1. Even If You're Thinking That....

which is bad enough, keep it to yourselves you black-hearted bastards.

2. whoever that official was

they have to be fired... at the very least

[Vinca]

3. They might have heard it first from Don.

[kentuck]

8. There's a lack of self-awareness that is almost criminal.

At least enough to be asked to leave the job.

13. Steve Miller ? That Fascist pig ?

4. Have they sent a formal 'Thank You' to the murderer of 17 people?

5. Yep, 17 murders did divert attention from the no-security clearance wife beater.

And from the total incompetence of his employer. Unfortunately, it highlighted another area of incompetence. Trumpie can’t win for losing.

6. There's a pattern...when things are getting hot in the WH

an 'incident' occurs..

7. Deplorables

9. Name them

You don't need access that bad, name them.

10. These people are evil

That's the only thing I can say. They're RELIEVED that a school shooting where 17 were killed gave them a "reprieve" from people who are telling them to do their jobs. And "sadly" the coverage will die down. My god.

11. Simple solution to getting a reprieve from...

...being pummeled by coverage of scandals - stop acting like clueless, tonedeaf, insensitive, entitiled ASSHOLES!

What a bunch of eejits!

[magicarpet]

12. Yes the loss of 17 young ones...

.... What a timely breath of fresh air for this White House to take the media spotlight off of security clearance issues - for tr-dump goons. 130 count to be exact.

The AR-15, not only is it a weapon that destroyed young lives down in Florida. But it is also a tool that saved face for the tr-dump White House.

Do they come any more disgusting or more craven than team tr-dump ?

14. It is highly advisable that this 'attack' resume ASAP, imo.

I knew it was doing massive damage. Security clearance SCANDAL.

7 days, now 10, they STILL have no answer.

Demands of papers being pulled and 30 day termination notifications are in order I would think.
