What has Trump said publicly to the Russians? Where is his warning to not attack the US election process again?

Since you can't discuss this topic without snarky condescension, I'm done with you. You can't seem to address anything I write here and I've heard everything you have to say three times over anyway.

Works for me. eace

With cameras banned, CNN sends sketch artist to White House briefing - Jun. 23, 2017



So seriously? WTF? Is this kindergarten or what? A childish chess match with the most immature one making the rules?

What's the point of banning cameras? Isn't that potentially a 1st Amendment issue?

It's far easier to manipulate/twist words on page/screen than it is to manipulate video with sound.

The tone and context of the person speaking can be completely lost in the written word form.
Much easier to show that with simple video.

Not the first time this has happened at the White House.


"In 1993, during the first year of then-President Bill Clinton’s administration, the White House stopped hosting on-camera press briefings because — according to then-White House press secretary Dee Dee Myers — they just weren’t necessary."

Well, while 'draining the swamp' he appointed his son-in-law to some federal salary or the other....

Nope..... No money is being paid to Kushner.

Kushner will advise the president for free.


"Kushner, who will not take a salary, is expected to have a broad portfolio that includes government operations, trade deals and Middle East policy, according to a member of Trump's transition team. In a statement, the transition office said Kushner would work closely with White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus and chief strategist Stephen K. Bannon to execute Trump’s agenda."

That's not at all what I said.

I'm sorry for the inference although I did pose it as a question. So what is the definition of an activist journalist?
