Press Briefings Circa 2021
« on: January 22, 2021, 03:26:45 PM »
Caught the White House press briefing this morning. I normally don't watch these things but was curious on how interactions would be with the new admin. Pretty much what you would expect.

The only "mean" questions were in the form of, "That big meanie Trump did "X" and are you guys okay and how will you get through it?" Also stuff like, "So what will the new paint color scheme be on Air Force One?"

About every other question referenced the big meanie Trump. Everyone was smiling and laughing and having a good time. Real serious reporting.

Subscribe to the WH youtube channel,  the like to dislike ratios alone are worth it.

There is no fixing stupid. But, you can line it up in front of a wall and offer it a last smoke.

There is no such thing as a "transgender" person.  Only mental illness that should be discouraged.

Oh they've been up to that already,  but the average dislike ratio remains 4 to 1.  If you're inclined,  it's only a few mouse clicks to join the fun.  Beats just lobbing lead at them.  For now.

I've noticed that comments are disabled on the White House videos.  That wasn't the case during Trump's administration, IIRC.

The new administration doesn't want to hear the public's feedback.

The hard hitting investigative reporters have gotten to the bottom of the most pressing issue since 46 was sworn in:

I don't think they were replaced.  Just given new uniforms.

Now that's an ugly visual.
