Discussion: WH Doubles Down, Insists That Media's Trump Coverage Is To Blame For Violence

Every time a day goes by without a Shuckabee “press briefing,” I have imagined her cowering in her office, struggling with her last vestigial shreds of conscience, and saying: “I just can’t. Not today. Not again.”

Naaaaaaaaaaah. Guess not.

Too bad. Obviously, those of us in the reality-based community know this is chickenshit. And the deplorables love the calls for political violence, so all they see is the Trump administration acting like weak, mewling kittens. Nobody finds this satisfying except the Very Serious Republicans in DC.

No doubt had the bombs exploded the White(s Only) House would be saying “They brought it on themselves. They deserved it (for criticizing Dear Leader).”

She’s a true believer and an enabler of Trump’s proto-fascism. She’s not merely “a good German following orders”.

Many accused of war crimes were acquitted on a similar defense (superior orders), creating immense dissatisfaction among the Allies. That has been thought to be one of the main causes for the specific removal of this defense in the August 8, 1945 London Charter of the International Military Tribunal. The removal has been attributed to the actions of Robert H. Jackson, a Justice of the United States Supreme Court, who was appointed Chief Prosecutor at the Nuremberg trials.

Buckle up folks, it’s going to be a rough couple weeks until we regain some control.

Huckabee Sanders’ needs to stop apologizing from the White House lawn for these terrorist acts. Also, bombs were addressed to the families of two former presidents who have been the target of Trump’s vitriol at his countless rallies. This is hardly just about the media.

Well let’s see Sarah this President that you have chosen to work for is working on overturning every American norm and values that have preceded his election. He proudly proclaims that he wants America First, all the while hawking gewgaws made in foreign countries, he derives revenue from investments and properties in foreign countries, he praises and openly admires foreign dictators, and you have the gall to stand there and complain about the media. The media is reporting his words, this administration’s actions and the majority of people to like what we are hearing and seeing.

Oh and what’s up with that hair girl? Did you piss off your primper?

This sounds more like a ransom note than it does a presidential statement.

Well since, to my knowledge, Sarah doesn’t have the equipment to be fluffed…and primping is what hair stylists and make-up artists do I went with primper. Or should that have been primpper, the Google was no help with the spell check.

This sounds like the beatings will continue until attitudes improve.

So SHS is complaining about the media being unkind to her boss. Well let’s see there is ABC, NBC, CBS, and CNN. Four major media networks against Fox, and whoever else to they have on their side?
And during the presidential primary which candidate got the most air time? Which candidate got his spoxes on the most networks?

Sadly, it will be a couple months, not weeks. The new congressmen will be sworn in on January 3rd, 2019. The lame-duck session will be nuts if the Democrats win in two weeks.

True, but at least we’ll know if the tide is finally changing in our favor.

Huckster Slanders is just doing her version of getting down on her knees and unzipping the Rump’s pants.

I no longer have any doubt that there is no set of circumstances where the good of the country would be more important to this administration than Trump’s egomanical need to be blameless and right.

“blaming negative coverage of Trump for the recent attempted bombing attacks on prominent Democrats and CNN.”

I get it now. It’s like blackmail. The media has only to ignore all the fat orange moron’s lies and transgressions, and the bombs will stop. How silly of us.

I actually agree with the WH on this one. The media should stop covering Trump altogether. Problem solved.
