    I don't really think it is a bad thing to limit TV exposure and press conferences.  Too much spin and drama would be caused if we were always exposed to the mundane details.  Give us the readers digest version once in awhile works.  Honestly, who here wants to see Spicer or President Trump daily on TV? The sketch artist does a fine job of sketching people talking in a room.

    right?  I mean what's the harm in government controlling the media?  A little propaganda never hurt anyone...

    Let's start banning the media too from the press conferences and allow ones in like Infowars.  It's the American way.

    The video embedded in the article states "The interviews, etc are not mandated by anyone."
    So the current administration is doing nothing wrong.

    Don't be coy.  The current administration is doing nothing wrong "legally" by not granting cameras all the time, etc. There is no law mandating so.

    Edit: the funniest thing about this tweet is that Trump was briefed about the Russia meddling in August, but he continued to deflect blame away from them. Weird, right? Now he wants to know why Obama didn't do more. 

    For the the people who have hitched their wagon to this guy, are you feeling stupid yet? You should be.

    no. spicer is the press secretary for the president. he speaks on behalf of the president. we as citizens have the right to be briefed every day by the press secretary. the press secretary briefs reporters so that they can inform the rest of us. it is pretty simple how this is supposed to work. i think a teenager could understand how limiting press access is a bad thing.

    no they don't. feeling stupid requires higher brain function like being self aware and being able to feel shame and admit mistakes. chimpanzees are self aware, and they feel shame. many trumpers for the most part are not.

    I've been saying this from the outset.

    Youre either rich and set to benefit from an agenda designed with the sole purpose of making rich people richer... or you are a freaking moron.

    I can understand wanting change, but seriously... if you are demanding Honeybuckets adapt to the changing needs of fat bottomed people... you don't shit in your pants to demonstrate this. In other words, Hilary might have been a horrible candidate in one's mind... but the alternative was infinitely worse, not to mention damaging.

    Devout Republicans should have been irate for the choice their party left them. The party should have been olaced on alert with alarming election results that demonstrated people were not simply going to vote on party loyalty when such a shmuck was presented to them.

    With that said... he won.

    it is a public office. paid for by the public. the white house belongs to us, the people. the government belongs to us, the people. he owes us briefings so we, the people, are in the loop as to what is going on.

    It's not a shitty company that he's about to run into a brick wall with bad ideas and bad management like Trump Mortgage ("I think it's a great time to start a mortgage company," Trump said in 2006. "The real-estate market is going to be very strong for a long time to come.")  Trump Ice ("one of the purest natural spring waters bottled in the world") or Trump Steaks  (sold through the Sharper Image, CEO Jerry Levin said we "literally sold almost no steaks"...) 

    It's only the USA.

    Latest tweet folks....

    Since the Obama Administration was told way before the 2016 Election that the Russians were meddling, why no action? Focus on them, not T!  Obama Administration official said they "choked" when it came to acting on Russian meddling of election. They didn't want to hurt Hillary?  I cannot imagine that these very fine Republican Senators would allow the American people to suffer a broken ObamaCare any longer!  MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN!  Hillary Clinton colluded with the Democratic Party in order to beat Crazy Bernie Sanders. Is she allowed to so collude? Unfair to Bernie!  I am on @foxandfriends - Enjoy!

    What kind of child has to make up and use denigrating little nicknames for everyone that opposes them?
    Oh, that's right, the POTUS.

    If he was my 5 year old nephew I would scold him, swat his ass, and send him to timeout to think about what respect means.
    Unfortunately, he's the POTUS, and I'm expected to treat him with respect?

    FUCK THAT!
