A
It’s like a plot from a comedy show. How bad can a president get? Boycotted by the major TV news networks, he’s forced to launch his own channel (Trump TV) to gain coverage. Anyone who endorses this idiot in the midterms needs psychiatric help… CNN, MS NOW and Politico file lawsuit against Trump's White House ban https://www…
K
The thing with Trump, I suppose, is that the media doesn't pick up on all the crap and crazy stuff he says. It’s all about keeping him quiet until after the election, I guess...
B
Strong liberal leaders like Obama and Carney are not fascists lol. And I'd rather not live life on the red side of the Iron Curtain, comrade. Something people forget is in ww2 the communists teamed up with the fascists... until they were betrayed. As in the communists were completely fine with fascism until it became an unreliable ally.

⚡ NEWS Major US News Outlets Suspend Trump Coverage Amid White House Access Ban CNN, MSNBC, and Politico have suspended video coverage of President Trump after he banned their journalists from the White House. The outlets filed a lawsuit citing First Amendment violations, marking a significant escalation in tensions between the administration…

Don't forget their collective takedown of Biden. Unified real fast over that.
L
You mean united in favor of his new TV network project... They're not uniting against him, they're getting out of the way to let him take over.

«Trump and Vice President JD Vance are also once again on the defensive and forced to justify a toxic policy amid ongoing scrutiny of high gas prices and the war on Iran. »“He’s not banning media outlets,” Vance said on Monday. “What he’s doing is saying, ‘We’re not going to give you special access to the White House if you engage in what is…

i know some things to make him quiet, but you cant say that BS here on BS
K
On the list of "most spineless politicians", Mike Johnson occupies the top slot, closely followed by Rubio and Ted Cruz.
B
Are "campaign events" generally pool covered? If so? It's gonna be tough for trumpf to campaign for anyone beyond dog catcher. I'm not sure who's better off in this deal... ✌️😀💙
F
Did he even notice? As long as nobody told him they were not there, I doubt he could tell.
N
If the White House has capability for video, why no sound? I guess the sound person was too brown and deported and they are looking for someone else.
L
Future history books will read "That was the day when US turned a dictatorship publicly. "
J
No audio coverage of Trump is way better for America than it is for Trump. This is a "less is more" scenario.
R
Step one: no longer hearing him. Step two: no longer having to see him. Step three: he's gone for good.

Duckworth doesn't want to hold Trump accountable?!!!!! She is a traitor to America!!!! Complicit!!!!
P
Impressive! First direct show of solidarity in years from US people (protests don't count)

Yes! Flood the zone!! I put this out yesterday and provided several ideas on my page
