I do think Sanders was a much better liar than Spicer, who wasn’t that great at it. Whether this was from natural talent or years of practise, one has to admit that Sanders was pretty skilled at creating on-the-spot alternative narratives and facts. She was on a similar level, in this regard, as Trump and Conway. It’s unclear whether her leaving will affect things much. As already noted, the White House rarely gives press briefings any more. The last one was 94 days ago, and there were only four in the last 200 days. ---

Her job was to take turds and try to put a shine on them. I don’t blame her for failing to do an impossible job. But I do blame her for choosing to do an immoral job. ---

She did have a pretty amazing skill at the difficult stuff she did. But, then, to read the descriptions of what serial killer Ted Bunny did on some of his adventures, that sounds like some amazing skill, too, success in some very difficult activities. It’s just that skill and effort aren’t the significant or distinctive features of the actions. ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > It was a hard job and also a vital one. Somebody has to explain the Adminstration’s policies as clearly as possible. So it goes like this, huh? Act I, scene i Trump: Comey, you are fired! Act I, scene ii Journalist: Sarah, why did the President fire Comey? Sanders: Tons of FBI agents hated him. He had to go. Act II, scene i Mueller: Ms. Sanders, why did you say that FBI agents hated Comey? Sanders: You believed that? I totally made that up. Right on the spot.

> [@](#): > > When a reporter indicated that the “vast majority” of FBI agents supported Comey, Sanders said, “Look, we’ve heard from countless members of the FBI that say very different things.” Following the press conference, Sanders spoke to the President, who told her she did a good job and did not point out any inaccuracies in her comments. Sanders told this Office that her reference to hearing from “countless members of the FBI” was a “slip of the tongue.” She also recalled that her statement in a separate press interview that rank-and-file FBI agents had lost confidence in Comey was a comment she made “in the heat of the moment” that was not founded on anything. - Mueller Report, _Vol. II_, p.72 ---

She hasn’t done “the job” for 94 days. She never made sense of Trump’s conflicting statements, just told journalists asking for clarification that the president’s words spoke for themselves. She won’t be missed by anyone intelligent and sane. ---

> [@aceplace57](#): > > Sarah made her share of mistakes. There’s not much anyone can do when their boss undermines them every single day. “Anyone” can quit when their boss undermines them every day, especially if “anyone” is in a financial position where they don’t need the paycheck. Takes a little bit of integrity and self respect, though, so I guess it wasn’t an option for Sanders.
