Apparently, they don’t hand out a Nobel Peace Prize to those who negotiated a ceasefire they had sabotaged a year ago just to get elected.

Tom Bowman has held his Pentagon press pass for 28 years. He says the Pentagon's new media policy makes it impossible to be a journalist, which means finding out what's really going on behind the scenes and not accepting wholesale what any government or administration says. n.pr/4q87Jwb

Such a good point on SCOTUS hypocrisy when it comes to Trump vs Biden:
They let a nationwide injunction kill Biden’s student loan relief when they had a chance to rule on it.
5 months into Trump’s presidency, suddenly nationwide injunctions are a grave threat to executive power and they must rule.

The number of manifestly psychologically unwell people in the highest levels of this administration should be unsettling to the world.
Most of this “press conference” is this lunatic yelling at the media. This guy is so obsessed with his press coverage that he can’t even function.

CNN’s Jason Carroll was zip-tied and escorted away—for reporting the news. But they claimed he wasn’t under arrest?
Why are they shooting rubber bullets at and silencing journalists? We still have a First Amendment.

I will be damned if I allow a bunch of Confederate-waving January 6th apologists give the American people a lecture on flag waving.
There is ZERO reason to enter an argument about patriotism with people who still worship traitors to America 150+ years later.
