Can you explain how this is at all relevant when compared with how OUR government works? The last time I checked, the US Constitution cannot be amended simply by Congress passing a law.
The caravan was the most important thing in the world a few days ago. Yet, wasn’t mentioned at all yesterday during that press conference yesterday. Wonder why it’s less important today.
The White House provided video to support the Acosta assault. Doctored video.
It would be simpler if, the next time a press conference is called, nobody shows up. After all, what purpose do the conferences serve? All they (and we) get is a pack of lies and a generous serving of self-aggrandizement – no news here.
Nah, that won’t work. They hate having the press briefings anyway, which is why the “daily briefing” only happens once every three weeks or so. It doesn’t punish them to stay away from a party they don’t want you to be at in the first place.
They should send just one guy, so that there’s no one else to call on. And to piss them off, it should be Randy Rainbow.
I can’t see how this would accomplish anything. First, I’m sure they’d be happy to just do away with press briefings at all. Second, so, what, you’re just left with administration-friendly media there lobbing softballs and reporting on it? What purpose does that serve? I’m sure this administration and its followers would just love it if the mainstream press said “screw this, I’m going home.”
I think it would be most excellent if the entire press corps just stood there and looked at the press secretary reprovingly with a silence that you could not even cut with a knife.
(Not Sanders, so much, since she was rumbling about being not in there soon.)
The White House press corps should learn a lesson from the journalists in the Netherlands. The idiot Trump appointed to be the ambassador had claimed that there were no-go Muslims controlled zones in some cities and that politicians had been burned alive.
**US ambassador’s awkward press conference
President Donald Trump’s new US Ambassador to the Netherlands held his first press conference with Dutch media at The Hague on Wednesday, and it was awkward.**
This was last January. It was a little unclear to me. The quote from the original story says Wednesday.
I think the press has begun to treat politicians who routinely lie with less respect. I am all for this. Trump deserves no respect. He acts like an asshole, he gets treated like an asshole. However, the 40% of Americans who blindly believe people like him, don’t see it that way. We really could use some more Mueller indictments. Now.
Remember when Keith Olbermann was suspended from MSNBC for contributing to Democratic candidates and that was evidence of bias. Now, in Republican circles there is a direct line from the administration to Foxnews and back again. With the pundits appearing with the candidates at political rallies.
But, yeah, tell me again how Foxnews and MSNBC are opposite but equal entities.
