Would love to ask the folks who lined up before dawn at Target for a swag bag “filled” with goodies and walked out with a reusable grocery bag and a pack of Uno cards, “how does it feel to get played?”
I honestly do not know why anyone is still loyal to that store. This is hilarious though 😂

To much push or confrontation and the complicit media may fire the journalist. Can any WH journalists afford to be the sacrificial lamb?
It's because their jobs is to report from the White House and rebuking him means they get banned and therefore lose their jobs. If trump is challenged enough only FOX and Newsmax will be allowed in the room. Trump's a weak, little SOB and getting worse every day.
