Oh honey. They are going to do that anyway.

Consider the possibility that the Trump White House WANTS this fight. Wants journalists to act like opponents instead of observers. If the entire press pool skipped a Trump photo op in solidarity with The AP, wouldn't the White House welcome Breitbart and One America News to take their places?

I genuinely feel bad for people that are hopping right into abuser dynamics with Trump. “But maybe if I let him hit ME, he won’t hit the kids” “but maybe if he just hits the oldest one, he’ll leave the baby alone.” There’s a sad trapped and irrational but sincere logic to it. But it never works.

I grew up in an abusive household, and that's exactly it.

Do not let the abuser set the rules. Do not play along because it's impossible to win that way.

Abusers give no quarter, and neither should we.

I know not everything is WWII but in WWII you honestly had people saying, well, it’s too bad that he took Poland but I’m sure that’s the end of it, well, he’d never come for France - uh, well, he’d never attack Lon-um, he’d never march into Russia - fuck.

There is no limit, there is no appeasement, there is no negotiation, and there is no bottom. Period.

We're living in an era of mitläufers and Neville Chamberlains. God help us all.

I thought Brian might be gross and mean and not good -- but now I think he's dumb.

I have to keep reminding myself he’s a News dude and not the Stray Cats Brian Setzer.

listening to the Stray Cats is better than listening to Brian Stelter.

Aw that’s sad.

I keep saying this same thing. It is so frustrating for those of us w/ knowledge/experience of abusive situations to continuously watch ppl fall into these damn traps.

100%. There just won’t be any false “reporting “ about whatever shit the administration is flinging

Stelter wants so much to be relevant in the media again. He says a lot of rather stupid things. Don't know if the helps or hinders his mission.
