Didn't a recent ruling against AP say that there was no "harm" being done because the press pool is currently NOT handled by the White House? Someone go throw egg on that judge's face.
This is on paper, upfront, fascism. We will tell you what is true and if you disagree you don't get to ask questions anymore. That only leaves sycophants and people won't watch him anymore making it easier to lie to the few that do until he convinced them he should run again and can't be wrong.
I’ve heard, over 60 years, good people questioning how did the German people go along with the lunacy that was Hitler. I’ve heard never again. Yet, here we are. It starts with the press.
I have never watched this creepy looking evil woman do one of these fake press conferences and I won't, so I won't notice the difference. As for the dictator/press thing, we are more than well on our way already, with nothing but BS and propaganda allowed.
I guess that Trump wants things to escalate into a "civil" war". Would enable him to get thigns done quicker and to get rid of certain people more easily.
Boycott the press briefings. Most of what comes out of their mouths are lies and distortions. It's just like if you are an ass and had a 🥳 party and no one showed up.
This may have some connection to David Shipley's departure from WaPo and Bezos' announcement that henceforth, the paper's Op-Ed section will be narrowly focused on "personal liberty & free markets." 🤮 IOW, WaPo will now be another propaganda site supporting the oligarchy.
The working class needs to eradicate the billionaire class if we want more than table scraps for our labor. History shows those in power never willingly give it up; it has to be taken.

Trump's Reichstag
1) Trump troopers target minorities in multiple incidents
2) They escalate to full-blown riots
3) Trump declares martial law, suspends the constitution
4) Congress & SCOTUS give him full power to "restore order" and scuttle themselves
5) Opponents are jailed
6) No 2026 midterms
Honestly they need to create an alternate press briefing room. No one is going to believe what this twat and her president say anyway. Might as well make our own truth.
The US will become like Russia, there is no stopping it. A country with fake elections ruled by the same guy who takes billions from the robber barons raping the country while the peasants scrape around in the mud in total admiration for their leader.
The legit journalists should just walk out, quit the WHPC, and not cover anything Trump says or does from now on. He'll have his own little PR team and tame rightwing media to communicate with the world, so let him.
Fight back!! Get people there. Get this out there! Post in every comment section & repost on your page. Post on FB, Instagram, Tictoc. Print & put on cars, bathroom stalls, anywhere you can. Make sure everyone you know, knows about this. Help save our country!!! and BE THERE!!!
So far no one can stop the regime; how long will it take for the regime to paraphrase Andrew Jackson (1832): (Chief Justice) John Marshall has made his decision; now let him enforce it.
It's ridiculous how bad this country has fallen IN ONE MONTH!! Ever since that stupid orange bastard bigot took office it has been WORSE than what we said it would be and we knew it was going to be bad! It's always, "so how is Dishonest Donny going to destroy our country today?"
Just as the Nazi Reich controlled and eliminated the free press in Germany with The Editors Law.
"I have the natural intention to be and to remain the warm-hearted protector of the German press.”--Joseph Goebbels, Reich Propaganda Minister 1933
Yes, and J.D. Vance lectured in Munich about "the annihilation of democracy" in Europe and free speech, as Germany was stating that Elons massive voter manipulation needs regulation.
Vote for a clown. Expect a circus.
I think you're right. They're thinking of themselves as entertainment rather than considering their role at such a crucial time. They're culpable to an extent.
And did you see her email about her 5 accomplishments last week. One bullet was giving a speech at CPAC. Was this an official duty for which the American taxpayer pays?
Every news organization should declare that they will not attend any briefings until this ridiculous policy is removed. Unfortunately this won’t happen.
The respected press should boycott the White House, and push to page 250,000,000 anything that orange Nazi fuck says or does. He craves the publicity, and he won’t be happy unless he’s on the front page of a respectable news outlet.
All MSM should quit the pool. Leave it to the rw fanboy club. Just use pool coverage to keep tabs on the firehose of lies from the Oval Office and instead do real coverage of the effect this nightmare administration is wreaking.
HOW?
I know there’s a ton of crap happening & millions of us actually want to DO something.
But no one seems to have any concrete ideas.
That’s why I’m creating a YouTube channel so we can discuss ideas & bring back that positivity & joy. Anyone interested?
Hate to say it, but we are already there. Just listen to what this administration is already doing with absolutely no push back from Congress. None at all. The Judiciary is the only branch that seems to have a backbone. Shame on Congress.
Honest question: why does it matter? Nothing that comes out of the White House is true. There is not one word of reality to be had in those conferences. The trips on Air Force One are the same, unless you only report on how much older and deranged the President is each day.
"If you're not careful, the newspapers will have you hating the people who are being oppressed, and loving the people who are doing the oppressing." Malcolm X
Our they could ALL stop going to the Whitehouse and let them regurgitate crap to a room that only has a kid with an Elon t-shirt from Blaze, a wackjob chewing his crayon from Newmax and a loud blonde with the top two buttons of her blouse undone from Fox ... and no-one else ...
That's true, but the internet age has made it much easier for all global news to break through.
What is happening in the U.S. is almost worse than 1930's Germany. People had easy access to the truth and chose propaganda anyway to support their hate.
No, they didn’t have easy access to the truth. Those who raised their voices were sent to camps or eliminated (Dachau concentration camp opened just months into his reign).
The German resistance consisted of small, isolated groups that were unable to mobilize mass political opposition.
Pardon me for my lack of clear phrasing. When I said "they" I meant people who support Trump had easy access to truthful information and ignored it. I realize Germans in the 1930's didn't.

You didn't walk out when AP was banned? Then boo-hoo, fuck you.
Anyone in the shithouse press corpse can get fucked, imo.

Democracy dies without action.
Option 2:all real reporters turn up in clown costumes
Or at least no news orgs that are not maga show up. They'll just be having a boomerang presser. What a bore that would be!
Goebbels controlled the media and arts, making sure that Germans were fed Nazi ideology while censoring other information.

All is forgiven 🙂
Moodinites take note!
This is Swiftie (or Moodinites) moment!
Send this Bullshit Barbie a Swiftie bracelet.
Send her Swiftie bracelets with Taylor Swift's lyrics about lying!
She will know what this means! Or draw them on a postcard if you don't have much money!
If they lose access, they have no excuse to do that and should be going scorched Earth on Trump, et al.
Now back to taking bong hits so that I can continue to think this will happen.
