The entire White House Press Corps has become literally a collection of fake news people.
The Dan Rathers, Walter Cronkites, or Peter Jennings of actual journalists would never have let that slide.
Now the media is filled with...I can't use the word. Something about being "grabbed by" somewhere.

He thinks golfing, going to rallies, tearing down the East Wing, fighting with an architect over his ballroom, 'renaming' the Gulf of Mexico, sleeping through fawning Cabinet meetings, and staying in Mar-A-Lago is working.

Old enough to remember when he said he "didn't know what part of his body" the MRI was scanning or why.
The funny thing is he just calls even more attention to his deteriorating mental state while trying to cover up his deteriorating mental state.
Not the brightest bulb in the pack.

Where are all his psychotic ALL CAPS and calling individual people nasty, childish names? There are almost complete sentences, if run ons, but not his usual convulsive outbursts. It's like Stephen Miller did an edit job for him.

Four decades ago, Reagan's counselor Ed Meese claims people go to food banks because "food is free and it's easier than paying for it."
It was never just MAGA - it's the entire Republican Party denigrating the not-rich so they can feel superior.
Untenable, inhumane class warfare - the GOP agenda.

Public sentiment supporting Zelenskyy fight to protect his own country's sovereignty, land, minerals, assets, etc. needs to be loud and relentless.

More bells and whistles to distract from Duffy's clear incompetence at the Department of Transportation. Maybe he should be trying to recruit and train more air traffic controllers, no?

"Pull-ups" are to distract from the critical air traffic controller shortage, innumerable flight cancellations, GOP overturning Biden's ruling that airlines must refund passengers for cancellations, violence (MAGA-generated) on flights, and Trump'sDuffy's Transportation Dept. many failures.

Not to be off topic, but I'm old enough to remember a long line of rag mag paparrazi 'journalists' in England literally turning their backs on someone (Blair?) in protest of people publicly holding them responsible for Princess Diana's death.
That kind of dramatic protest sorely needed now.
