Donald needs the media much more than the media needs Donald.

Would be nice if the media understood this.

Well, also, what is the point of reporting "what Trump said"? It's either a lie or gibberish. Or both. Reporters should focus on finding out and reporting what Miller is sneakily doing. That man is terrifying.

Not only that but the statements change every day, sometimes by hour, AND the messages also vary - many times by a lot - depending on who's spewing them. I no longer waste my time reading or listening to most of it.

The first amendment mandates neutrality from the government towards the press. The government isn't supposed to like the press and the press isn't there to make the government happy. It is there to inform the people.

A free press is one of the most vital safeguards against tyranny and banning them from the White House is yet another huge step towards a complete fascist takeover of the Trump's administration. He's going full dictator now. NO other President ever would have thought of banning the press from access.

Make no mistake, a free press must be free to report on and question those in power. The First Amendment does not protect a free press only when the government likes what the press says. I invoke my First Amendment rights to wear freely these anti-Trump shirts EVERYWHERE πŸ‘‡

I think they understand it. Not sure they care. They're the reason he is where he is. donald is no longer in there. PERIOD

The headline across all news media should be: "Trump afraid of journalists."

Subheading: "Trump bans some press from the White House. Afraid of being asked questions."

Obvious.

Satan's characteristics

Satan's characteristics include being the great adversary, deceiver, accuser, and tempter, known for pride, cunning, and a desire to destroy God's creation, often appearing as an "angel of light" to lead people astray. He's a powerful, spirit- being with a will, though not omnipotent, who uses lies, schemes, and subtlety to oppose God, seeking to corrupt and ruin humanity.Β 

Key Characteristics

* Adversary & Opposer: His name means "adversary," and he actively opposes God and His people.Β 

* Deceiver & Liar: He is the "father of lies," presenting false images of reality and hiding his true motives.

* Tempter: He tempts people to sin, tailoring temptations to individual weaknesses.

* Accuser: He brings charges against the righteous.

* Proud & Malicious: He is characterized by pride and envy, desiring to elevate himself and bring others to ruin.Β 

* Powerful but Limited: He possesses great power, but is not omnipotent, omniscient, or omnipresent, and will ultimately face punishment.Β 

* Fierce & Cruel: Described as a "roaring lion" seeking whom he may devour, he embodies evil and destruction.Β 

* Cunning & Subtle: He uses craftiness and deceitful schemes to corrupt minds.Β 

* Destroyer: His goal is to kill, steal, and destroy, bringing people into rebellion against goodness.

All of this sounds so familiar.

We are in the middle of a five alarm fire, and while most of the country remains oblivious, too many in the resistance are wasting time discussing how to organize and implement a fire department. What’s needed from the general public is total non cooperation and a general Spending Strike. NOW!

Spending Strike. Stop spending except on essentials. We, the People, are funding the fascist takeover of America.

For more information on how to accomplish this, visit my profile page. Or:

Please: Resist. Stop cooperating. Stop spending. Stop the fascist takeover.

Thank you for restacking, and sharing, to help Spread the Word!

He has to be locked up in a padded cell, no toilet, no water, no hamburgers, no French fries, starvation and torture only, pull his finger nails out, shave his head, no absolutely no make up.

Sick mother fucker deserves hell now, right now

Today !!!

Except Trump wants to pick and choose which media is allowed, because at his core, Trump is a fascist. Following is a one-page PDF that summarizes the 14 characteristics of fascism. He is the textbook definition -

IMO, since the White House belongs to "We the People", what right does he have to deny certain press people. In a real America, all of the press corps should have boycotted him. That man thrives on media attention, I say block it all.

Hey, MAGA dumb fucks! Is America great again yet? I want to thank you for what you have done to our country and the world by voting for this vile piece of trash! You will never be forgiven. NONE of you! πŸ–•

So while Hegseth is going around personally checking the troops for "morning erections", Russia is about to attack Europe and we have no munitions left because Hegseth prematurely ejaculated them all at Iran, who now controls the world's oil supply.

Robot Bender's avatar

He's wayyy too interested in other men's erections.

Joanne Gatsis's avatar

"Hegseth’s new bizarre testosterone policy focusing on soldiers’ erections"

He is one sick fuck! Closet case!

Castration becomes him !!!

Cut his dick off and watch him bleed out. He doesn't deserve a surgical procedure. Cut the fucker off.

Penny Thibeaux's avatar

Yes yes yes yes

May everything he has done, crimes against humanity, come for the bastard right now. May he suffer beyond comprehension, nay his duck fall off, hair fall out, May bad Karma come right now for the inhumane narcissistic

Penny Thibeaux's avatar

May his dick fall off

He's wayyy too interested in hypermasculinity.

There are no curse words strong enough to describe how Republicans are willing to gamble with possible worldwide economic collapse from fuel shortages & the start of WW3 (while we don’t have enough ammo to protect ourselves) just to appease the ego of a profoundly ignorant & immoral man. May they all be voted out!

"NATO’s military chief says the alliance is now bracing for Article 5 scenarios"

Thank Trump for this. I knew it was coming. Putin is emboldened.

Linda Harris's avatar

Joanne, I am worried that trump will not allow the US to answer an Article 5 plea from Europe if something happens. Also, it doesn't really matter that congress (both houses) voted to sanction Russia if trump just overrides those sanctions. Thinking of removing 25K troops seems to me to be a sign from trump that Putin can now go in.

as a left-behind Afghan ally abandoned by the current U.S. administration I know how important truthful information and accountability can be during a war. I once served alongside people who trusted America’s promises, and I learned that when governments make decisions, ordinary people often carry the consequences. that is why independent journalism and honest reporting matter so much to people like me

Hi Brett - great article yet again! Please πŸ™ keep this up and TRUTH ALWAYS! Speaking of TRUTH, hi Joanne Gatsis and everyone here- it's good to know that WE HAVE EACH OTHER'S BACKS AGAINST TRUMP AND THE MAGAS!!! STAND UP TOGETHER AND WE GOT THIS!!!

Love you, Cheryl 🫢🏼

We just cancelled our trip to see my Swiss relatives near Geneva. How would we return if jet fuel supplies are running low? Now I must look up Article 5 scenarios. This is all horribly frightening 😨

Andrew Campbell's avatar

Think about how much of this chaos is due to Trump.

JohnC-Va's avatar

Really no need to think. All of this shit belongs that babbling, blithering bag of bullshit.

Right and I could see this coming since 2024; ALL of it. 🀬

I’m wondering if Hegseth will have a policy about the size of women’s boobs in the military πŸ˜‚. πŸ™„ Sheesh.

He’ll ponder if boobs hamper using firearms.

Pat Robinson's avatar

I know this is way way way wrong but I wish all GOP folks would were a GOP badge so we know who to not let out daughters/grand daughters date because what is important to them is the testosterone level of their sons, how much of a bully you can be and how much you can cheat to win and things like kindness, tolerance, integrity or anything Jesus said is not important..indeed those things are to be avoided. I don't want the young women in my family to even hang around those young men. But sometimes they can seem so nice on the surface.

Pat Robinson's avatar

trump never answered a question these media outlets asked anyway (or if he did he lied and they never fact checked him to his face). While I totally disagree with what he did, now the media can spend their time reporting on what he does and puts out on truth social and maybe they will start fact checking every single thing he says and tell the voters the truth. It does seem that at least maybe they are doing something, like saying this is not right and we'll fight you in court, but again if they again have access to the White House all they will hear is lies and if they are unwilling to counter those lies on the spot I don't know how much of a difference it will make. I think the American people need to be reminded constantly that whatever trump says in press conferences or meetings at the white house has little to do with what he actually does most of the time.

This shortage of munitions seems pretty serious. Why isn’t Trump using some of that massive power he’s always bragging about to build or open new factories?

Maybe the MSM will finally learn they don't need WH access to report on it. After being denied WH credentials, if they have any savvy at all, they'll realize this actually frees them up to report the news without fear of retaliation. While I support CNN's and MS NOW's determination to defend their First Amendment rights in court, they shouldn't let those court cases get in the way of reporting the objective news. It might even reestablish some level of public confidence in the legacy media if they stop pulling their punches.
