I wouldn’t put it past him.
Heros of our time.
It's disgusting how many toadies are bending the knee out of fear of losing access and/or angering Hair ShitFuror FatFuck. #GrowASpine
Russian state-run propaganda organ TASS; MTG’s bottom.
And er that’s it, I believe.

Jonathan seems unwilling to mention this, but I will. Kinda of a microcosm of the problem.
This is a war of words and no time to retreat. PRESS ON!
Yes, the press corps should support one another. Can you imagine what Fox would do if a Dem WH banned their reporters?
A room full of silence and empty seats.
