    Yes, I know, she’s a mouthpiece for a horrible administration, and may not deserve any of our empathy (because her political movement devalues it).

    But doesn’t anyone see the irony of an article that is written talking about how the job of the press secretary is so difficult, because people dissect every single action you take… In an article which does nothing but dissect her social media posts?

      Except…. The job seems to be fine with any other president. In matter of fact, until Trump I can’t think of the name of any other press secretaries. The fact that SOOOOOO much propaganda bull shit comes out of this administration we actually give a shit about the position should be telling enough.

      This is a hundred percent fuck around and find out territory

      The 28-year-old press secretary for President Donald Trump shared several stories with her 2.6 million Instagram followers on Sunday, after also facing ridicule on Saturday Night Live this weekend. Karoline kicked off her weekend updates by posting photos and videos from her Palm Beach getaway, revealing “the ocean is my happy place” alongside footage of her coastal drive. She then shared a snapshot of her meal at the Four Seasons Hotel in Palm Beach, where rooms can cost guests as much as a staggering $2,781 per night.

      Maybe if she didn’t want her social media posts to be publicly analyzed, she should: not publicly post things unless she wants them analyzed; not have chosen a high-profile job in front of all the world’s media; or saved things she wants kept personal for a shared family text, an alt posting account, or locked to approved users.

      It would only be irony if the author thought the media shouldn’t scrutinize the press secretary. Presumably most journalists believe scrutiny of the head spin doctor of the regime is actually exactly what should happen.
