White House

(Warning: anyone more comfortable in an echo chamber should run to his or her safe space now)

After recruiting Trump, the KGB and Moscow have clearly also managed to make all House Republicans their puppets, because the Senate bill that passed last week and slapped new sanctions on Russia (but really was meant to block the production on the Nord Stream 2 gas pipeline from Russia and which Germany, Austria and France all said is a provocation by the US and would prompt retaliation) just hit a major stumbling block in the House.

At least that's our interpretation of tomorrow's CNN "hot take."

Amid rumors that The White House is "weighing" the replacement of Press Secretary Sean Spicer, and the collapse in bookies' odds of him making to the end of the year, today's press briefing could well be his last...

According to Bloomberg, the White House is weighing "whether to move Press Secretary Sean Spicer into a more senior role focused on strategy" and bring in a new spokesman for the president, two people familiar with the discussions said.

CNN's Jim Acosta is beside himself after (soon to be former) White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer called for the media to turn off cameras and audio recording devices for a 'silent' press briefing. Acosta, apparently unaware that there was a time when the Press Corps used to take notes by hand, staged a silent protest by tweeting a picture of his retarded socks.

Update 2:

• WHITE HOUSE DISCUSSING SHIFTING PRESS SECRETARY SEAN SPICER TO SENIOR COMMUNICATIONS ROLE BUT NOTHING IMMINENT-WHITE HOUSE OFFICIAL
• WHITE HOUSE SAYS IT IS CONSIDERING WAYS TO EXPAND ITS COMMUNICATIONS OPERATION-STATEMENT

Update: Spicer goes no bid, with Spicer's odd of being press sec crashing by 50% in minutes.
