President Trump: The NEW one and only politics thread

So you still get credit for a "like" if you have the liker on blast? Doesn't seem fair.

 

Important to remember a day pass to the White House press room is akin to being named a Kentucky Colonel. Kids get them. It's a way of getting a sorta high-octane White House tour on most occasiosn.

 

You know, if all you assholes would've just listened to me 5 years ago, none of this shit would be happening now.

 

Giving one to InfoWars is nothing but dog whistling to the mouth-breathers who think it's a legit news source.

 

Yeah?

 

But enough about how my immediate family's Thanksgivings go ...

 

ROTFL as this is coming from you.

 

You once worked for the Devil Rays, right? How did they decide who to give credentials to for the press box? This shit is only complicated if you want it to be.

 

Kind of an asshole thing to say. Not all of us are "former" journalists. But I see what you're doing there. And it sucks.

And this isn't a First Amendment (or, according to you, "Ammendmant") issue. InfoWars just spreads lies. It's not a news source.

But you know that. Or I would hope you do.

 

Dave Weigel of the Post has it. Noting that Trump promised not to cut Medicare and SS and does both, he tweeted "It's what you do when you're sure your base won't hear and will blame the Democrats anyway when it bites them." In short, the Republicans believe their voters are morons who can be manipulated with clownish lies even when they themselves suffer.

 

I hate to stumble once more beyond "my raising," but it occurs to me ... and I'm just spit-balling ... that there's some substantive difference between the two credentialing entities here that you're not taking into account.

 

And they're right.
