I did hear an NPR reporter this morning refer to it as Trump exhorting Zelensky to “get dirt” on the Bidens. A little progress.

Sooo…I guess this means they never got a chance to negotiate a deal on Iceland, eh?

Just think: if Trump was Finnish, his second-oldest demon spawn would be known as Ivanka Assholesdottir.

They need to inform their citizens about how America has lost its way. The next presidential apology tour is going to be a heck of a thing.

They might even gnaw off their own leg to get Trump’s hand off it.

I don’t think I’ve ever been this embarrassed or ashamed in my life!

I guess Mari Karppinen better forget about sending an application to the NYT. She’ll never get any sweet White House access that way. It’s ass-kissing and hummers all the way down!
Oh, wait! I didn’t actually say that out loud, did I? I mean, I know there are some who think criticizing lousy reporting and lazy editorial standards is the same as cutting the First Amendment protections of a free press out of the Constitution and wiping my ass with them. I never mean to offend!

Totally. I was bothered by that too. Not having his answer makes the reporting about nothing more than a reporter asking a gotcha question.

Yeah, but I recall hearing some NPR correspondent saying that Trump seemingly contradicted himself in describing the call to Ukraine. No “seemingly” about it, it fit the dictionary definition of contradictory!
And this afternoon, NPR interviewed some human automaton Republican congressman from Indiana. She let him go on and on, robotically spewing the lies he had been programmed to say, without contesting any of it.
I suspect they deliberately pull their punches and allow thugs like that to be interviewed because they’re worried about their tiny sliver of funding from CPB.

Speaking of Assholesdottir, where is the Plastic Princess while her incoherent, maniacal father is embarrassing himself and their brand on the international stage? Changing her name to Jane Doe?

No, she’s too busy saying Daddy is her moral role model.

Well, not yet but once he closes the deal on Greenland, he’s going to move on Finland like a bitch. If you’re a famous President, they let you do it.
Then she’d better watch out, she’s on the list now…

What I’ve been trying to figure out is when did the power dynamics in the WH briefing room change? I know I remember other administrations being mindful of keeping a good relationship with the press and respecting the power the press has. Is my memory off?

What makes you imagine they wouldn’t return home?
And someone turn off the twits

Before long, these joint appearances with Trump will be known as “Coyote Q&As”.
Also as “Two Baggers.”

I read there were “audible gasps” when the reporter asked the question, and my first thought was “Those were from American reporters.”
It must seem unfathomable to them to be so…reporterly.

“I think you mean the other way around,” Trump jabbed back.
Ever the diplomat.

Your memory is fine. It’s just that Trump doesn’t do respect.
