I don’t give a damn about their fake “statements”. I want to see what their WH correspondents do & say at the next Trump press conference. None of those “correspondents” spoke up for their peers because they are cowards. And the media will just kiss ass in private while pretending great outrage.

What a real man you are. You did nothing, said nothing while these thugs assaulted & murdered innocent people all over the USA…until they “came to your city”. Pathetic. But now act like a fucking savior, let’s see you do something before you just disappear & act like there’s no problem…again.

This type of infantile lies & hokum has been a part of fake religion for decades. The sick, laughable idiot slime Peter Popper used to do this on TV. He took in millions from gullible fools before he was finally caught on recordings w/ his fake ‘god’, lately selling “miracle water” to dumb MAGAts.

The Dodgers put up another exciting win with lots of homers last night, but of course the worthless #MLB.TV blocked the game. My advice: Never, ever subscribe to this lying, cheating #ripoffMLB.TV - they raised prices & then cut the number of broadcasts dramatically to force add-on subscriptions. ⚾

Don't expect this from MSM outlets, whose leadership won't stand up for their journalists & MSM journalists (White House correspondents) won't stand up & defend each other, because their inflated egos want to be next to the power of the moment. They aren't interested in truth or quality reporting.

I have to ask - following this press ban, will any of the WH press corps consider how poorly they questioned trump when he spouted irrational claims & lies? Or how they never once stepped up to defend their fellow journalists when he attacked them? They failed in their responsibilities, terribly.

The entire plan behind Obama’s nuclear agreement success w/Iran was “non-zero sum” strategy - that it could be worked to the benefit of both parties, not “zero sum” where 1 winner must mean 1 loser. Concepts & agreements such as this are far beyond any comprehension by the stupid, mindless trump.

Big news - the orange idiot is obviously banning Fox News since the criteria include publishing lies and fake news. As everyone knows, that’s all Fox does. The orange criminal rapist is really on top of things. Next he will say Vance & Hegseth teamed up to start an illegal war, against Canada.

No. The EU said that could be a consideration, but everyone involved or aware of what that would entail agree there would be many hurdles to cross. Sovereignty is a major one - Canada has made abundantly clear the US will not have claim to it, so must see this possibility in the same light.
