White House blocks News Organizations From Press Briefing

Yeah - you have a right to eat - just not buy at the grocery stores that have provided the food you have eaten for all your life. :doh:roll:

Any substantive change is the normal practice of the exercise of the First Amendment rights of the press is a violation of their rights.

Media ban, Muslim ban and Mexican ban just for starters

When do we get to ban Bannon?
 
This wasn't a darn permanent ban on CNN or the NYT or any other news agency. As I suggested earlier. This gaggle presser banned those news outlets that have been making unfounded claims with un-named sources to start some sh!t. Because of these unfounded stories now the Democrats are calling for an investigation into wrong doing by Priebus that the FBI has already informed the WH the NYT report was bullsh!t. When Priebus asked the guidance of the deputy director McCabe of the FBI on how to counter because the FBI could not come out and debunk every story that is false, later Director Comey told him he could say that he had learned spoken to senior intelligence personnel that said the story is false. So that is what Priebus did on Sunday on Meet the Press.

Here's a link to the transcript that was discussed in the gaggle proving the ban on a couple of news outlets are the same ones pushing unfounded stories.

Bannon is probably well aware that it could all come down around their heads and is desperate to do anything to wiggle out of this tight spot.

It looks like 'they' are singling out McCabe of the FBI.

As a Bannon watcher, I believe he's already set up Priebus for a fall.

When Bannon said that it will get worse before it gets better, trumposters and whatever GOPs call themselves these days didn't realize he was talking to them and they're scared, especially House members .

INDIVISIBLE with RESISTANCE against trump

The press was there. Do you think AP, Time, ABC and NBC are Trump fans? Do you think Trump thinks they will slant the message to the right? "The press" isn't a whole. These agencies are a part of a whole. "The press" was there and well represented. Can you refute that or is this just part of the "cuz Trump" faux rage thing that the left loves to do?

Was I taking about just this incident? No, it has to do with the Orange Buffoon's claims that the press is the enemy of the American people. Trump himself is a bigly perpetrator of fake news/facts, so is he also the enemy of the American people?

At 20% approval rate, and Bannon now on record as of yesterday, we need him as a cudgel for the 2018 elections.

This is GOP 2010 electioneering 101, and the GOP is now the party of bans and walls.

Besides, if bannon left, trump would have an empty brain .

Boy you never stop with spinning the yarn do you. I bet you have enough balls of yarn by now to knit a blanket that could reach to the moon and back.

trump is phony talking his neocon language, as we all know what a coward trump is.

Having Mattis and McMaster around to clean up trump/Bannon steaming piles puts neocons somewhat at ease .

And if it continues, unprecedented "politics."

Besides, if you want to go that silly route, gun bans are "just politics." Declaring war is "just politics." Every big issue of our day is "just politics."

He failed to mention the 'Big Lie' out of CPAC yesterday, that the alt-right is the same as the 'leftwing fascists'. I didn't realize Bannon the banner was leftwing, though fascist yes.

None other than Mo Brooks spoke of GOPs in swing districts losing their spine to REPEAL ACA. The GOP house is in deep trump quicksand right now .

Usually, If you have been around long enough, you would know that I was hardly a Trump supporter. But I can see that your scope fits neatly into a thimble.

I've been here 3 years longer than you have.

How do you feel about GOP intelligence chairs carrying the WH water to friendly reporters?

The coverup is always worse than the crime, and this time the coverup looks to be reaching into Congress from the WH inner circle . Burr and Nunes need to be run from Congress .

What will you do when you finally wake up and realize that your immature stance on the situation blows up in your face.

The Big Orange is ****ing up faster than his handlers can clean up.

Good news! The GOP cannot move forward when they are wading through ca ca waist deep. Every single time der Trumpster opens his mouth the GOP is forced to take two steps backward to defend his demented self.

The GOP can't and won't repeal the ACA. Never happen.

Given the massive chaos surrounding Trump GOP officials have two goals in mind:

1. Put massive distance between themselves and the madman that is Trump.

2. Be silent and be invisible.

America first? No feckin way. The GOP doesn't have the balls.

Your post prices you're all in for defending trump.

Is the WH just this incompetent or just this illegal, or both?

As one who was in college when Nixon resigned, I am flabbergasted that Burr and Nunes would compromise themselves on RussiaGate by already admitting that they're working with the WH behind the signs .
 
Legitimately concerning, particularly when taken in conjunction with such Stalinist-style rhetoric as choice media outlets being dubbed 'enemies of the people'. I hope the administration backs down on this at once.
