Imagine working for the slime ball that is Team Trump Treason? Now, imagine voting for him? Sheesh, Sarah, no self respect? Seriously, oh never mind. MAGAA.
what about this says that she has no self respect. she obviously thought it was a joke, and thought it was funny.
for clarity: i think she is an evil woman, and deserves to be tossed into the wastebin of history, but this? moving along....
Your daughter comes home from work and tells you that her boss "jokingly" said to her "take one for the team" to close that sales deal and its okay, her husband will miss her. And when she goes to her boss to explain the wink from the other company's CEO, he rubs it in and when your daughter asks him to stop, he rubs it in some more and continues to make light of the situation. This is why shit doesn't change. If she had self respect, she would have resigned, even if she thought it was a joke and funny. Coming from the pussy grabber in chief and all.
i'm not saying it's not sexist, or gross, and of course i knew you'd invoke my daughter into this. but if sanders isn't bothered by it, then neither should you be. it's up to her whether this is something to be bothered by, not you or anyone else.
but workplace sexual harassment can include 3rd party observors being offended and therefore harrassed.
you're right. i honestly forgot about that. but judging from the article, John Kelly was less than offended.
Flight Risk out NOW!

You know that's just the beginning though. It'd be nice if her political aspirations could be squashed now before she becomes senator in 6 years and eventual Pres\VP candidate in 15.

And lest you forget, from a Mickey post several pages back.
OPEN ON C-SPAN LOGO OVER CAPITOL: ANNCR. V.O.: Earlier today former White House press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders testified before the House Special Committee on Impeachment. Ms. Sanders was questioned by Judiciary Chairman Jerry Nadler of New York about various statements she has made to the media that she later acknowledged were not true. FADE IN: HOUSE HEARING ROOM. SFX: CAMERA SHUTTERS. SARAH SANDERS IS IN THE WITNESS CHAIR AND IS EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE. MR. NADLER: Ms. Sanders, thank you for responding to the court order that you appear. MS. SANDERS: Well, it was a court order. MR. NADLER: And had you not obeyed it, you could have gone to prison. Is that why you came today? MS. SANDERS: …yes. MR. NADLER: Ms. Sanders, the Mueller Report quotes you as acknowledging to the Special Counsel that you lied to the White House press corps about why the president fired FBI Director Comey. Is that correct? MS. SANDERS: Yes. MR. NADLER: You told the White House press corps that the reason the president fired Mr. Comey was that the rank and file of the FBI had lost confidence in Comey. Was that a true statement? MS. SANDERS: No. NADLER: And what did you tell Mr. Mueller about why you had told the press corps that “the rank-and-file of the FBI had lost confidence in Comey? SHE IS SQUIRMING. SANDERS: I told Mr. Mueller that I had said that, quote, “in the heat of the moment.” NADLER: And was that statement true? That you lied to the press corps in the heat of the moment? SANDERS: Yes. It...it was in the heat of the moment. That happens. People blurt out untrue things in the heat of the moment all the time. NADLER: Now, you told the Special Counsel something else about that untrue statement, didn’t you? MS. SANDER: Yes. I admitted that saying that Comey had lost the support of rank-and-file members was, quote, “not founded in anything whatsoever.” MR. NADLER: You also told the Special Counsel that when you told the White House press corps that you personally had been contacted by “countless members of the FBI,” that had been, quote, “a slip of the tongue.” MS. SANDERS: Yes. A slip of the tongue. MR. NADLER: And, in fact, you told my staff in a pre-interview that you had not been contacted by countless members of the FBI complaining about their lack of confidence in Director Comey. MS. SANDERS: Yes, that had been an outright lie. And I admitted that to Special Counsel Mueller and to your staff. MR. NADLER: In fact, you admitted that you had been contacted by exactly zero members of the FBI. SANDERS: Yes. Not one. NADLER: And you also told us that you felt compelled to tell the truth to the Special Counsel because your testimony to him was given under penalty of perjury? SANDERS: Yes. MR. NADLER: And that the reason you told the truth in that instance was that you were afraid of going to prison? SANDERS: Yes. Very much so. MR. NADLER: And you know the testimony you’re giving before this committee is also under penalty of perjury. SANDERS: Yes. MR. NADLER: And the reason you are telling us the truth right now also is that you are afraid of going to prison? SANDERS: Yes. I am very, very afraid of going to prison. MR. NADLER: And yet, two days after the Mueller Report came out saying that you had admitted lying repeatedly to the media, you lied to the media again? SANDERS: Yes. I lied to George Stephanopoulos. MR. NADLER: You told Mr. Stephanopoulos that when you lied about the reason Director Comey was fired that, quote: “It was in the heat of the moment, meaning that it wasn’t a scripted talking point. I’m sorry I wasn’t a robot like the Democratic Party.” Am I quoting you accurately? SANDERS: Yes. MR. NADLER: But what you told Mr. Stephanopoulos was not true, was it? SANDERS: No. MR. NADLER: And it was a lie because, in fact, it had been a talking point, hadn’t it? SANDERS: Yes. MR. NADLER: And are you admitting that only because you are under oath here, and you knew if you lied, you could go to prison? SANDERS CONSULTS WITH HER ATTORNEY SANDERS: Yes. That is correct. NADLER: And why, after admitting in the Mueller Report that you had lied to the White House press corps, did you lie to Mr. Stephanopoulos? SANDERS: I misspoke because I was freaked out and didn’t know what I was saying. NADLER: You were freaked out? SANDERS: Yes, I was. NADLER: Are you freaked out now, Ms. Sanders? HER ATTORNEY LEANS IN AND WHISPERS IN HER EAR. SHE WHISPERS BACK. THERE ARE A FEW BACK AND FORTHS. NADLER WAITS IMPATIENTLY. SANDERS: Let me clarify. I was freaked out when I lied to Mr. Stephanopoulos. I am a little freaked out now, but not as freaked out as I was when I was on with Mr. Stephanopoulos. HER ATTORNEY NODS NADLER: Ms. Sanders, you swore to tell the truth to this committee. SANDERS: Yes. And I have. To the best of my ability. Really, Mr. Chairman. I am not good at this. And that is the honest truth. NADLER: I believe you. But you know that being freaked out is not a legal defense if you lie to the committee? SANDERS: Yes. And that is why I am just trying so very, very hard to be truthful. NADLER: So you don’t go to prison? SANDLER: Yes. That is why I’m freaked out. Because I so, so do not want to go to prison. And I am doing the very best I can to be every bit as honest as I know how. (CORRECTING HERSELF) I mean, even more honest than that. I really don’t want to go to prison. NADLER: Well then just tell us the truth. SANDERS: Okay. The truth is I am especially scared of people who do not look like me. NADLER: Oh, no, no, no. No. You don’t have to bare your soul. Just answer the questions truthfully. SANDERS: Oh. So, I probably shouldn’t have said that? NADLER: Well…what you said is very ugly and sad. But I know it was honest. SANDERS: Thank you. I can’t tell you how much that means to me. NADLER: Right. Let me ask you something. You’re about to leave the White House, and I imagine you are looking for a job with some public relations firm or maybe setting up your own shop. Do you intend to continue lying to the public and to the media wherever it is you land? SANDERS CONSULTS WITH HER ATTORNEY. THIS IS A LONG ONE. FINALLY… SANDERS: Yes. But only if there is no other way to help my clients. NADLER: Okay. Just know that if you lie again publicly that we reserve the right to call you back. SANDERS: I understand. NADLER: But it would be great not to have to call you again. SANDERS: Tell me about it. NADLER: You may be excused. SANDERS: Thank you. Am I still under oath? NADLER: Actually, no. SANDERS: Great! (TURNS UGLY) This whole hearing is a witch hunt! The ones you should be investigating are the lefty SPIES in the FBI who bugged Trump Tower! NADLER: Oh boy. We will stand adjourned until tomorrow morning. HE HITS THE GAVEL. AS A FOX NEWS CAMERAMAN STEPS IN WITH HIS HANDHELD CAMERA POINTED AT SARAH… SANDERS: You ought to be ashamed of yourself, Mr. Chairman! To insinuate that I had been lying when this president is presiding over the strongest economy in the history of humankind! SHE ADDRESSES THE FOX CAMERAMAN SANDERS (CONT’D): You got that? AS HE GIVES HER THE THUMBS UP… FADE
And then, in this atmosphere, Biden talked about protecting democracy. “For the last few years our democracy has been threatened, attacked, and put at risk,” he said. “Put to the test here, in this very room, on January 6th.”
With lawmakers demonstrating the dangerous behavior he was warning against, he said: “We must all speak out. There is no place for political violence in America. In America, we must protect the right to vote, not suppress that fundamental right. We honor the results of our elections, not subvert the will of the people. We must uphold the rule of the law and restore trust in our institutions of democracy. And we must give hate and extremism in any form no safe harbor.”
“Democracy must not be a partisan issue. It must be an American issue.”
With Republicans scoffing at him, he ended with a vision of the nation as one of possibility, hope, and goodness. “We must be the nation we have always been at our best. Optimistic. Hopeful. Forward-looking. A nation that embraces light over darkness, hope over fear, unity over division. Stability over chaos.”
“We must see each other not as enemies, but as fellow Americans. We are a good people.”
Arkansas governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders gave the Republican rebuttal. Full of references to the culture wars and scathing of Biden, she reinforced the Republican stance during the speech. “The dividing line in America is no longer between right or left,” she said. "The choice is between normal or crazy.”
She is probably not the only one who is thinking along those lines after tonight’s events, but many are likely drawing a different conclusion than she intended.
If the GOP thinks that Sanders is a bridge to the younger generation they are insane.

She’s a bridge to POOTWH supporters, the insurrectionists. Did you hear her rhetoric and dog whistles? Lying sack of shit, that Sarah.
I didn't listen....I did hear her sign off of "God Bless you and GBA" which sounded fake as hell

“The fear of death follows from the fear of life. A man [or woman] who lives fully is prepared to die at any time.”
i think i heard the first 3 or 4 sentences of her speech and turned it off. she is the worst.
i heard snippits today and i have to ask, what fucking reality is she living in? america is not the hellscape she says it is. and sure as fuck republicans are not the ones that need to be given power to try to fix it.
