Not one reporter asked about the Executive Orders targeting Chris Krebs & Miles Taylor during today’s Cabinet press conference. Not one. A president using DOJ to punish those who spoke out? That’s banana republic territory. I waited. The question never came. Why? Has the fear already taken hold?
Krebs was fired Nov 17, 2020 probably for preventing Russian hacking of the election Trump clearly expected to win (similar to Senate GOP's 'tells' blocking Obama in 2016.) One month later when Electoral votes effectively sealed the deal Putin launched Solar Winds on Fed Agencies. His ticking bomb.
Here, Trump acts more unilaterally than even Henry VIII dared. And the later's detestable Bills of Attainder were the primary impetus our Founding Fathers/Mothers used to forge the 'Separation of Powers', the bedrock of governance that makes the U.S. the pinnacle of Nation State. This is medieval
Because he’s going to imprison many… lots of us on Bluesky if he gets there … well on the way. Being scared is a deal for parents and lots of people… understandable. He’s going to shoot and kill peaceful protestors next… Kent state times 20 for starters
Make me a reporter… I’ll report
I get the impression that these reporters don't want to become the next target of Trump's fury a la Associated Press.
The #lunaticInChief is the first president in living memory to use his now unchecked executive powers for personal vendettas - more akin to despots and Mafia bosses. I can't remember a time where this was considered the image of a "great America". #stopTheMadness and #saveTheUS before it's too late.
Nixon tried, but didn't have the entirety of the Republican Party and a Supreme Court to back him up. Ailes, Stone, et al learned their lesson and began laying the foundation for today's Court demographics and philosophy.
Yes. Yes, it has.
YES!
That cabinet meeting was a welcome to Jesus with palm fronds and alleluias. I listened for 5 minutes, heard the accolades and gushes of praise for Trump and off it went. Not Cabinet Secretaries, teenagers dating.
Needed to check for crotch damp patches. Utterly pathetic...all for grift and proximity to power. They don't care how they appear, a valueless, unprincipled, dishonest bunch of oppportunists and lickspittles
What to say but, exactly! 👍
🤢🤮😫
Can we just understand Trump's EO's are meaningless? They are not laws. Do not comply.
Unfortunately, yes. Because of ownership, journalists, REAL Journalists have succumbed to the bend of the knee. And, I say SHAME on them! You bend a knee you place us all in harm's way!
State-run media, much? Good news though. The judge ruled that AP has to be allowed in the White House press conference room if other journalists are allowed. So they can't keep them out, but I doubt maga barbie will take any questions from them.
Please join us - sign/share - TY!!
Of course not. Trump will not call on them for questions either, and if they manage to blurt out a question, it will not be answered. I wonder if they could get another reporter to ask a question for them? You think that would work?
Why not? Except only the politest questions are being asked. Everything else gets that maga barbie twat Karoline saying, "Shame on you for saying that about our President!"
Turns out there are quite a few folks in the press, legal firms, oh course all Republicans. Not seeing many stand up for the constitution or the law. DOJ is a total joke. 😢
The media on both sides of the ponds are either craven cowards or shills.
It’s a Trump “hand picked” Press! Why would they ? 🤷♀️
No one is still pressing on Signalgate either.
A gift for the 19th. Use it wisely. Why were exactly 19 people added to that ill-fated March 11th #SignalGate chat? Why were they so anxious to stop talking about it? Alas, certain lies have a nasty habit of returning to haunt you, at the worst possible time… sevenstarhand.medium.com/exposing-the...
Signalgate is dead. We’ve moved on to the next crime, the next market downturn, the next shitballs of fire.
Right. Meanwhile they are still using unauthorized message services that the gov't can't audit for future investigations. And the enemy knows it, monitoring it, and wait for the right moment.
Right? Surprise! And now people think insider trading will be his downfall. Please, you need an opposition that possess balls. Or even one ball...
& Schumer isn't it, so get used capitulation. Schumer is the susan Collins of the dems
Perfect!
Yes! I've been saying this since the orange rapist was first elected. Schumer is a lapdog, there to do the bidding of Aipac and his other "donors"
He's a collaborator
He's still trying to "reach across the aisle" but all he accomplishes is a reach around. He's old & ineffective. We need to change it up.
He's not doing that. He's shitting all over his own supposed constituency because the people he made up in his head (Joe and Eileen Bailey) are more real to him
It amazes me that some people still think the felon is capable of compromising and backing down.
The press is taking the bait - and going to the daily chaos item - instead of asking the tough questions - the questions that are related to the Constitution. We have to all pressure them to do their job.
Absofuckinglutely it has.
Well, in some defense of my colleagues — of which there are fewer because people don’t like paying for news, so…—it has been an overwhelming onslaught of developments. It ain’t been lost on all and I expect to see more stories as other officials react.
Resisters, please consider signing this petition to recall tRump and vAnts. Like, repost and share with family and friends. #BuildtheResistance
They are completely unaware of anything other than "how can i get my name in this story"
Yep
Aleady past banana republic. We're into crazy batshit-bully land. Press has to choose between bad options. They know they'll be kicked out and investigated if they do ask. What does it matter if they ask anyway? The answer is always a moving target and a lie. The WH is not a reliable source of info.
No sane person wants into that cesspit. Report from outside. Report the ruination of real Americans and the real economy.
YES, the press, the colleges, the attorneys are all bending the knee to the dick tator. Ba bye democracy.
Um, I believe that is dick tater. 💙
Because they blocked all normal media outlets from press conferences?
Krebs & Taylor have real integrity unlike Trumpster & cabinet.
Yamiche Alcindor or Jim Acosta would have asked. April Ryan. All that’s left are weak, greenhorns.
Yes. Agree, they definitely would have asked!
That's why they are not there.
We ALL need to call this out, it can happen to you!!!
Guessing it has watching washington post cartoonist getting fired for satire comic...
The Mainstream Media have been Trump bootlickers since 2015. Ten long fucking years of journalistic cowardice.
That’s how we got him in the first place. They thought he was entertaining.
But he had comments about his buddy Musk, now seated at the cabinet table, unconfirmed.
Exactly who is bullying these formerly respected law firms to cave so easily to pressure? Is is the DoJ or WH or both? How are the threats /are twisting being made? These cowards and their methods should be exposed? This is a huge threat and law firms owe the public and courts to expose them!
The Legal Profession- MIA! You're supposed to protect US not the President. Officers of the Court need to re-read their Oath to the Constitution!
Well mostly because at this point, the chairs in the briefing room have been so rearranged that every "reporter" in there thinks the tariffs were "manly"...somehow...so probably not gonna get a lot of "those" kinda questions
Krebs was set up to lie about the security of elections in 2020. He is a traitor and will pay. It is way worse than you know. Taylor lied in his book. He needs no clearance.
It’s because they currate the reporters and the questions it’s not a legitimate event it’s propaganda
It's not the same press pool now. It's full of sycophants like Marjory Taylor Green's boytoy, Newsmax, OANN, and other far right sources. They may allow MSM in, but it doesn't mean they get called on. It's more like Trump fluffing now.
47 has press in fear of loosing access and under orders from their bosses not to ruffle feathers
Which just makes them part of propaganda distribution
Why not? It worked for Hitler.
Journalists are no longer anything other than searching for a sound bite. they don't know how to investigate. they don't know how to question and they don't stand together.
I truly believe many have been threatened. We are dealing with the mafia.
Yea but they ain’t Italian … just to be fair…
You're likely correct. The twice-impeached criminally seditious traitor has a longstanding reputation of threatening others to get his way.
The threats of $$$ via Musk the oligarch?
It’s not about the money per se, but about life & death. This is not a movie but in real life.
Exactly
They're missing an opportunity to make a name for themselves.
This. I think it’s happening to Republicans in congress too.
Perhaps some Democrats too. Like Fetterman.
No, Fetterman is just a contrarian cretin.
He's a horrible disappointment.
Yes I think he is medically impaired. It’s a major elephant I. The room with our leaders. Hoe do you get a sick person from doing national damage?
With, likely, some level of brain damage from his stroke tossed into the mix... Just to keep things extra-interesting, you know. He's been decompensating steadily ever since, behaving irrationally, acting reckless while driving, fighting with his wife, scaring his staff, missing deadlines, etc.
Anyone who doesn't stand up to Trump either; - agrees with him - is blackmailed by him - is bribed by him - is afraid that they or their family is going to get hurt or killed by one of his sycophants
If he tries that with me, it will only make me tenfold angrier and more determined to bring him down.
I understand that sentiment. There are many others who feel the same. The brave Jan6 Select Committee members, for example. After Trump talked about how much he disliked them, they started receiving 1000s of threatening phone calls, emails, ect. Many had to install expensive security systems.
Ask David Pakmzn a.o
George III’s Cabal threatened millions of Americans too. It’s Time for a Declaration.
I’m sure the ‘press’ was boot lickers for Orange It’s all a con and a house of cards
You mean #FOXNEWS
Of course not! That’s because there are no longer any real reporters in that room 😡 The traitor felon told his audience that he was all about revenge… against anyone and everyone who has dared to tell the truth about him and his crimes
I hop not!
Simple answer, yes they are either scared or support it.
He wouldn't have answered or said he wasn't aware if it even though he did it. Most of the public isn't fooled.
So ugly
😡😡😡
They are not reporters.
Everyone has first amendment rights, not just reporters.
Of course.
Hitler -1933, Germany-punished those who spoke against him. Stalin-1928, Russia- Punished those who were critical of him. Mao Zedong->1966, China. Pol Pot -1975 Cambodia. DONALD TRUMP - USA 2025.
We’re on our own gf.
😂
Corporately Owned MSM Cowards
Flooding the zone. Trump’s excesses are so large that they overwhelm the effective communication of them. But we can help.
There’s no recourse? This is so wrong.
Yes.
The fear took hold the day he won the election! 🤬
DJT is the retribution President.
Sickening
I am shocked to learn this! They still allow reporters into the press conferences? I thought it was strictly limited to sycophants. We aren't DPRK yet?
The Resistance must standup for Christopher Krebs and Miles Taylor!
Yes🤦♀️🤬
Those “reporters” are a big part of why we are being ruled by a fascist, if not the biggest reason.
#FOXNEWS #REPORTERS #FAKENEWS
Amen!
Whoever would dare to ask that question would never be called upon to ask another one. They would also risk being labled as a fake news reporter. Patriots need the courage to do even the most mundane things in an authoritarian environment. Fear and cowardice rule the day in DC.
they exclude reporters who ask difficult questions.
Apparently so.
Definitely banana republic. Impeach him now.
Sadly, I think the fear has taken hold. The press needs to do their job.
More importantly, why aren't senators and reps asking very pointed questions about this and so, so much more? I hope they all live long enough to see the full extent of what they've wrought, and then have to explain to their children and grandchildren why they didn't stand up for democracy.
I ran to the library to get the book. I want to know what's eating this narcissist up for six years.
Trump was born bad to the bone! No analysis needed!
Yes it has. The regime has banished critical questions and agencies from the White House press conferences, banned schools and colleges from teaching history and science, begun arresting dissidents. It’s Nazi Germany in the late 1930s. We’ve seen where that led. @usatodayopinion.bsky.social
The only reporters allowed at these briefings are T**** fluffers. We’re two weeks from them asking T**** if they can squeeze his big muscles.
Are any non-MAGA “journalists” even allowed in the briefing room at this point?
I don't think it's fear, exactly. I've noticed a lot of people today are just incredibly quiet or downright cowards in general. They're afraid to even talk to each other if they don't already know each other or if someone introduces another person to them first. Asking a question? Forget it!
Set Luigi free he’s got a job to do
This administration has rapidly developed into a reign of terror.
Lawrence O’Donnell and Andrew Weissman did a good job on this topic tonight. What the felon is doing is scary. Going after people from his first term to scare everyone in his second term.
You just perfectly described what the Left did to HIM after he left office. Payback is a stone cold bitch.
How exactly? That's what he screamed for 4yrs, but that's what he wanted planted in your brain. He lies & steals right in your face and you close your eyes. Why do you want to be a sheep? Don't you want to have a country where people are accountable for their actions? 🌊🙏🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🙏🌊
You mean by prosecuting all those Cult Assholes who stormed Congress, or the numerous Enablers & Toadies who also broke laws & betrayed their oaths & professions? Payback wasn't the issue. This president is the one bent on Revenge against those performing their legal responsibilities.
They have control of the press pool and aren’t letting people who would ask that in
The WH has control over the media that covers them. That is the classic definition of an authoritarian gov't. The country isn't moving towards authoritarian rule. It is full-on!!! This is just the beginning & the worst is yet to come!!
Yes. We are being lead and informed by cowards.
This is a side effect of the administration violating yet another norm by trying to control the makeup of the press corps given access to the “President”. Shameless and unacceptable.
CYA... they'd rather have a comfortable job than integrity.. free read, no subscription required LEAD, FOLLOW OR KISS ASS FOR SURVIVAL Options in our Frightened New World substack.com/home/post/p-...
They don't want to be next.
Vote for the Democrats to regain power in the House of Representatives and the Senate so not only will they impeach Bondi for lying during her confirmation hearing, as did the other Trump appointees during theirs, but they will also indict her. Trump and his entire corrupt administration must go!
It’d require 2/3 of the Senate. How many Republican Senate seats are in the 2026 ballot?
I don't know how many Republican Senators are up for re-election in 2026, but if we managed to vote out the ones who are up then, it just might make the remaining Senate Republicans nervous about keeping THEIR jobs so they'll cooperate with the Democrats to impeach Trump, Vance and a few others.
Perhaps. If this shit persists, it might be possible. But people need to understand the nature and scale of the challenge.
The media has gotten worst with their fear of Not questioning any of this 💩from the corrupt trump admin! They are beginning to have ‘NO Purpose’ for truth letting all the lies fly by!🤬
Yes.
Do they let reporters actually ask questions? Are there reporters present?
Anyone in the press room at WH or DOJ or the Pentagon cannot be trusted. They are just whipped puppies. The regime will have concentration camps with ovens soon.
Very sadly, yes, and by getting away with it the Trumping Administration will only do it more! The US is becoming a dictatorship!
The press pool is picked by the WH. It's not really surprising.
The general population is intimidated by the authoritarian regime
For a lot of them, the answer is yes!
THANK YOU!!
Exactly. Fear is a factor that these fascists are counting on. We can’t back down. Ever. Miles & Chris did nothing wrong. More waste fraud & certainly abuse.
why isn’t anyone talking to Philip Low, Elon Musks x-Best Friend that actually has the courage and the balls to Stand up to him? Someone needs to bring more attention to his January posts about Elon Musks plan and ultimate goals! I can’t believe you all missed him, and WE THE PEOPLE know
@papst-ny.bsky.social
YES.
34-felon won't be asked any question he doesn't want asked. The rules for the press are clearly defined & enforced. We won't see anything different from now until he's gone.
The White House Press are not real journalists they’re all Trump sycophants.
Nobody in the press corps ever asks Xxxxx any serious questions.
A department of "justice" that has a policy of aiding and abetting presidential crimes while in office and then balks for years at the prospect of prosecuting that criminal after leaving office is already banana republic territory.
When did it leave?! Everyone of the republicans are terrified of the felon!
Yes they are frightened. It is both disturbing and disgusting!
bsky.app/profile/judg...
Wow ,this is the first I’ve heard of this .
They are all afraid of the clown. We need to make them afraid of US.
AP are still probably walking on eggs. As for the others, they were chosen by Trump because they don’t say anything bad about him and don’t discuss his decisions or… they are extreme right media such as Fox News, totally biased.
I think it’s beyond egg shells I’m guessing journalists (rightfully) fear for their safety if they do speak out. He’s made a lot of threats.
I am convinced that all these Jan 6 rioters that were pardoned are now part of his private militia available to him 24/7 to commit any kind of crime or make threats to anyone designed by the Orange Felon.
That's my opinion as well. I think Trump has formed a militia designed solely to protect him and to keep him in power. This militia is made up primarily of ex-military and ex-police malcontents, as well as many of the insurrectionists he released from prison.
Absolutely. It makes a lot of sense.
I always assumed that was the plan.
Scary!
Makes sense!
OK! This! Where I live in the US I don't have Ukraine sticker on my car just because I don't want any trouble from MAGA cult religious extremist. "'Tyranny grows slowly, and asks us to retreat in comparatively tiny steps. But each retreat increases the possibility of the next . . ."_Jordan Peterson
I didn’t realize he was going after Chris Krebs too! Krebs is brilliant & I bet he could figure out exactly what Musk & his college flunky hackers did in 2024. Maybe that’s why the fake President is retaliating, he doesn’t want everyone putting the pieces together on his nonstop crime spree.
@apnews.com you were reinstated, why didn’t you speak up?!
The ones who aren't cowering in fear are on the payroll.
🧐
We have to protect these Trump targets—also including Adam Schiff and the Bidens.
Here is my executive order: Let's get rid of the Chief Felon, his co-POTUS, the GOP members of congress, the entire cabinet, and every single maga cultist in the country. There is plenty of room in Russia.
The 4th Estate was invaded long ago. The corrupt knew that if they could gain control of the media, they could set the narrative & have the power to take control of government & ultimately rule. There are some good journalists. Support them.
Do they even care? I am so disgusted by the media.
What real journalists are allowed in these PCs? Every one has been hand picked to not ask hard questions.
We call those Dorothy Dixers.
You have a closer look at what is happening there. Why are you asking us?
Yessiree Bob, Chiquita has arrived!
bsky.app/profile/dian... Listen to Senator Murphy, he explains it all!!! 🔥🔥🔥
☎️BE AWARE AMERICA! We have entered AUTOCRACY MODE mandated and directed by the fake president orange psycho Trump. ☎️WE THE PEOPLE WHO HAVE THE POWER MUST GET RID OF THE IMPOSTERS TRESPASSING OUR WH ASAP B4 THE SLAUGHTER BEGINS! ☎️4/19/25 WE MUST STORM WASHINGTON 2 PROTEST AGAINST THEM MONSTERS🙏

They’ve been complicit for years now.
We don’t have reporters anymore. We have messengers for the MAGA fascists and nothing more. Sowing distrust in media and other institutions is in the playbook. Your party are the biggest hateful hypocrites and liars in this country.
"the Whitehouse press core are whipped dogs" - magataga the witch king of kapingamarangi 2018
The reporters are one aspect BUT everyone has a boss. Are you telling me that not one of their bosses wanted to know WHY they didn't do a better job? It's apparent that both their bosses and the news departments SUCK.
I keep waiting for a hero or someone with courage and integrity to come forward and lead the fight. Crickets…
That’s disgusting! We are all Krebs & Martin ‼️WAAKM‼️ Trmp at 41% great reporter questions would sink him further We can get out of him is media would push JUST A LITTLE!!
🤜💪👊✊️🤛
They are bad reporters.
Why are they even there? Robots recording and playing back would be cheaper.
Yep
EVERY SINGLE Republican & Democrat has refused to publish the complete unredacted #JeffreyEpsteinClientList & #GhislaineMaxwellClientList No journalist has ever asked this question of a politician Remember this the next time they pretend to care about fighting corruption
The mainstream media has been cowed to the point of absurdity. Either they are afraid of the odorous orange turd, or their rich owners are.
Most of the media is complicit in dumbing down and taking advantage of Americans.
U live in a country of cowards. Thats a fact.
“….just following orders..,,”
An entire country of vichy cowards hiding behind guns.
Excuse me, but as a Costa Rican, a literal banana republic, I feel offended. rsf.org/en/ranking
Generally speaking reporters are biased by occupation. When they speak up they get silenced.
a judge JUST ruled Mohamed Khalid was able to be deported when his only crime was protesting, so by the way, the first amendment no longer applies to noncitizens, AND protesting is a deportable crime.
Even if those gathered weren't in a relationship with somebody in Trump's world (which they are), you couldn't possibly have the time to ask about EVERYTHING going wrong. There are only so many hours in a day! Signalgate, crashing stock market, continuous banana Republic shit. Dark times
That is so disgraceful. I'm so sad and terrified for them, and us. 😭 We need to do a Go Fund Me for their legal fees or something.
We are on our own
Is the AP back in the room?
No. The Trump administration escorted AP reporters out of the press room after the Court order. They have appealed the ruling.
No one stayed the ruling, right? Just because they appealed doesn't mean they can ignore!
The District Court judge paused his own ruling until Sunday to give the government 5 days to file an expedited appeal.
If we get through this, there's so many people that are going to have to answer for their behavior & much of the press is going to be right up there at the top of the list. They tiptoe around it, squash stories & gloss it all over - sane washing & normalizing the unacceptable.
Yes, unfortunately.
Pressers are only for propaganda There’s no hard questions
If you keep in mind that all mainstream media is owned by the oligarchs, it makes perfect sense.
They, the MSM, doesn't want to lose favor with TFG and his minions.
News media led themselves to their deaths. No one trusts them and rightfully so. This is exactly what MAGA wanted. Now they scramble just to post a headline they think might capture attention instead of important news that isn’t as sexy to capture eyes.
It started with 24/7 news, then social media gave us private silos. Now each news outlet has to work harder to attract customers because it's so hard to reach people who have partitioned themselves off. Those outlets who pay their anchors millions of dollars really have to work to keep people. Sad.
That’s an accurate summary
Strength in numbers. Everyone must stick together. Justice matters. SCOTUS created this mess.
Welp I guess it’s the top tier that go or was that just when the exact shit happened in France?
SCOTUS needs to feel the pressure that there will not be any safe haven for them in America, regardless of all the Security afforded to them and families. They must take accountability.
Access. It's all about access.
And yet the best reporting I see comes from places without "access." Ex: Judd Legums' Popular Information, Wired, and Talking Points Memo. What is the point of sitting in the WH press room and letting that woman lie to you- thus generating sound bites for Fox?
Exactly.
The media are officially bought and paid for
Cowards
Yeah but we all need a job.
If u can’t do the job u have
Yes
That’s how dictatorships work
I'm actually willing to believe we're all just overwhelmed by ALL THE HORRIBLE SHIT THAT'S HAPPENING. The secret chat with Jeffrey Goldberg is off the radar already. The zone is well and truly flooded.
Corporate news is on the side of their board members. All national news stations need to be protested yesterday. Even the left-leaning ones. Ask yourself why they didn't cover the protests? They control the narratives in this country, and they want the corporate brand of fascism Trump offers.
Because the boomer protest was stupid and full of lies.
I was in NYC and already posted to indivisible, hands off and 50501 to march up 6th to media row next time. Wrap a half million around fox and the Rock and lock them in.
The media glossed over the humungous protests of the American people marching, chanting and fighting for their rights.They side-stepped it like it was an insignificant side story and others didn’t cover it at all. Absent- just like people of colors’ shows that used to be on MSNBC. Coincidence? Not.
Rachael Maddow covered them. She even read multiple signs that people were holding and commented on them. She did a whole segment on the protests and the 10's of thousands that turned out.
Rachel did a major portion of her show about it!
Honestly, I don't trust her either. She still works for a company that purged its entire on-air staff of PoC to capitulate to fascists. She should have resigned if she wanted to maintain any moral high ground. Chris Hayes too. I can't watch anymore cause it seems hypocritical.
I still do as she has not shied away from this and we all know that ALL media is owned by rich CEO republikkkans so I will take her over almost any other reporter. She and Lawrence O'Donnell, and Michael Steele!
She's cutting out after 100 days and back to 1x a week unless she's changed her plans.
I am HOPING that does not happen.....with all the BS going on, maybe she will stay.
She’s been the only one covering the protests- it’s shocking, but completely unsurprising at this point-
That's ONE show, and probably the most hated.
She’s so awesome but she’s also premium cable and not part of free packages like CNN or Fox are. Her reach is severely limited as a result.
As usual, Rachel understands the assignment.
Both Chris Hayes and Rachel Maddow did deep dives on this. As did Tim Miller at the Bulwark. It was also covered on Deadline Whitehouse
There is no left leaning media anymore
I was gonna put "Seeming left-leaning," but I was afraid I would run out of characters.
There was never a left leaning media…truth was accepted in the days of the Fairness Doctrine, the right didn’t like the truth.
This cannot stand. RESIST!!!
All Trump has to say is he will take away their allowance and they will cave. He has issued more Executive Threats than he has Executive Orders. He is taking out anyone he considers enemies one by one in most cases. Stalin killed 20 million from 1935 to 1941. Trump may surpass him; he has 4 years.
www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...
I don't know who is sitting in those briefings - I could only watch the debacle for a short time - but each time he is there lying and spluttering, they treat him like their favorite Uncle. Or hardly ask him anything.
Is it only a question of fear or is it also a question of the curated group that now represents the White House press? The widely acknowledged sanitized news-cycle may allow for judicious re-engineering of info-not just the info that the admin disseminates, but a real debate of breaking issues.
Banana Republic Sh*thole country
It is them, not the country. That is what they want to hear.
Trump is turning the United States into the derogatory slurs he used against other countries
I want to go back to the days when Democratic leaders stood up to Trump and pointed fingers in his face.
Krebs and Taylor are all of us. Hiw long will it he before he sicks the DOJ on us for saying we think he lost the 2020 election? I mean he could do the same to any of us that report the fact that Trump lost the 2020 election.
Disgusting
I can’t believe this isn’t a bigger issue.
It is an essential building block on the path to becoming a sh*thole nation.
We are just one "sieg heil" away from full-on dictatorship.
“Already”? They’ve been contorting themselves to accommodate this monster for a decade. May God have mercy on their souls. History and I will not.
Not only is the media complicit now they are cowards.
This is when the media should resist and stand up. African Americans don't want their history erased by maga. Many of them paid wirh their lives. They resisted, they stood up.
Yes
We can no longer trust the mainstream media to ask the tough questions or to dig deeper when things don't add up.
The press pool is full of lackeys that’s why.
Giggling young girls on the plane with him. He goes back and talks with the press a lot now. He loves his handpicked press Corp. 🙏🌊🇺🇸💙🇺🇸🌊🙏
"This is NOT what we voted for." "We voted for a self-confessed sexual predator, convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, insurrectionist, pathological liar, 6 times bankrupt. THAT'S what we voted for. But not this!"
Their access is what i guess matters to them. They don't want to sit way in the back in nosebleed seats.
The ones left in front of trump are all fawning sycophants.
Fucking disgusting line to cross!
Rachel Maddow briefly talked about it; hopefully she does again
Yes
Apparently
“Reporters” is holding a lot of water for social media influencers
It took hold around January 27th.
For many I fear the answer is yes. But there is SO much noise and slight of hand that focus gets lost. The plan to overwhelm the left hand with bullshit while the right hand is destroying our democracy is working.
The "reporters" are paid actors.
"Reporters are paid crisis actors." I learned this first hand.
Aint that the truth!
THIS is why he is holding "press conferences" in the Oval Office, which used to be considered an almost sacred place. FEWER press can fit, and he can pick and choose who gets in. 🤬🤬🤬
YES. That is part of the objective ... dismantling from the inside. Look at the bigger picture ... what is to gain from ALL of it?
Remember when TFG criticized President Biden about weaponizing the DOJ—and that the DOJ needs to stay independent. I guess he forgot he said that one, too. 😎
Fear is rampant!
Cowardice as well
The GOP dictatorship has arrived and it seems that the so-called press is definitely afraid. Considering the level of GOP crime in recent days, that fear may be justified. The suspension of Habeus Corpus and the bodily shipment of people to the gulag in El Salvador is serious! #USDemocracy
BTW: Continuing to use the tag "#USDemocracy" is perhaps a misnomer while living under the GOP dictatorship? Nobody wants to recognize the GOP dictatorship? If I disappear, fall out a window, get hit by a bus, or commit suicide, it was not by my own choice.
Yes! It looks like people who have not much to loose have to do the heavy lifting .
