COVID Testing for Journalists is Outrageous!
« on: February 26, 2021, 06:17:02 PM »
Hahaha. The Biden admin is now making journalists pay for their own covid test every time they come to the White House. Journalists are outraged at the first amendment violation. Meanwhile, I'm kinda outraged to learn that I've been paying for their covid tests up until now.

May they keep up the fight, and speak truth to power, for Democracy

Shouldn't they be happy to pay for what amounts to protecting the Savior of the Free World?  ;/

That's rich.  Can't believe Trump didn't think to troll those aholes with that.

So.... no one should pay to cover the White House?

By logical extension, that fuckstick's employer shouldn't have to pay him a salary to blather on about how glorious the Biden Administration is. Because no one, not even a corporation, should have to pay to cover the White House.

The anal Schwab test is part of the Great Reset. Please bend over.
For the invisible things of him since the creation of the world are clearly seen, being perceived through the things that are made, even his everlasting power and divinity, that they may be without excuse. Because knowing God, they didn’t glorify him as God, and didn’t give thanks, but became vain in their reasoning, and their senseless heart was darkened. Professing themselves to be wise, they became fools.

Why should journalists even be allowed in the white house?  Release media to the press electronically, that's how they're discriminating it anyway.

They could sit in their offices and just as easily make it up there.

Why not just post it on Twitter or Fecesbook.

All the cool kids are getting the anal Schwab.

It's how you show your love, bend over and spread 'em.
