    Doocy asks Psaki all kinds of gotcha questions.

    She deals with it differently.

    Y'all expected Trump's people to do battle with your shared enemy, the Free Press, then get prickly when it's pointed out that McEnany presided over pointless arguments? While Psaki doesn't?

    It's simple: Trump attacked the press for political gain so when he really needed them they were hostile. Biden chose not to go there. Plus Trump slings it in a way that nobody can possibly clean up.

      Let me get this straight , when Doocy asks Psaki a question it’s a gotcha but when a real gotcha question of is asked of McEnany it’s just a noble quest for the truth? The so called Free Press is a myth. They are in lockstep with one political party and have no views that deviate from the party line and there’s no freedom in that. They are their party’s perfect idea of diversity, a multitude of skin hues with only one world view. As far Biden choosing anything he’s not capable of choosing his ties.

        No I never defended the questions asked of McEnany. In that clip the reporter is obviously being a dick talking over her repeatedly. But her reply is equally contemptuous. This predicament is the result of deliberate decisions made by Trump for how he would regard the Free Press. He explained it to Leslie Stahl, memorably--if he attacks the press then people won't believe them when they write the truth (aka negative things) about Trump.

        And it has worked perfectly for him. Question: To which does the Constitution give more deference, the Free Press or the ambitions of one man? And yet the love for Trump and hatred of the press. Trump himself might describe that as "a very bad situation that somebody needs to do something about.". Make no mistake, when people attack the Free Press they attack one of the pillars cited by the founders.

        I am also pointing out that the Biden Administration strategy for press relations does not begin and end with attacking the press. Consequently the tone is different all around. Not rocket science there.

            probably not delusional, but being a Democrat does,

            it's blatantly obvious to every one but togor,

            tickles me that it is suddenly the Free Press now that it has circled back to Jen

              You wouldn't think people are shocked to learn that coins and issues have two sides, but darned if they are.

              Another one is how partisans who can't imagine how someone could be in the opposite camp nonetheless consider themselves experts on how Democrats think. Lots of experts in Democrats around here for example.

              The fun one for me is how people liked the idea that Trump was going to cut through all the legal red tape, and then they are shocked (shocked!) to hear allegations that his 4 years in office and entire business career were a continuous exercise in skirting the law. That's not on Trump, but rather the suckers who couldn't see him for what he clearly is. Although if his company failed to follow the law then of course just being in politics is not a pass. If found guilty they must pay the price.

                ah,


                but your issues always have one side,

                and anyone that did vote for trump, in your world, is just as bad as you think the orange man is,


                you seem to refuse to admit the other candidate was a horror story of a candidate, and forget that just maybe more than 1/2 the people voting realized that,

                not every one that voted for trump believe he is a saint, some of us held out nose and voted (anyone buy Hilz)

                now because OMB and mean tweets we have Obama 2.0, the man that the press thinks walks on water,


                apparently you don't see that from your seat,, but then again, based on your own comments and reference material posted in the past, you don't see anything but sunshine, rainbows and kittens from the Biden admin,


                remember there is a forest out there, not just a tree

                  Yes, O'Bamma is getting his 'third term' in office! Him and traitors like (Pelosi, Shumer, Shiff, etc,) are running the show in D.C. Biden is just a stumbling mindless idiot who has to have 'note cards' to answer any question other than which flavor ice cream he likes! Biden and his family are the most corrupt people in U.S. history in the White House! You can't ignore or cover up all the nasty crap they do every day! For example. Biden says the rise in crime is due to 2 things, 1. guns, 2. happens every year at this time.

                    What is going to be interesting is when Nancy is no longer Speaker of the House and President Trump is. The thought of this is scaring the heck out of the National Socialist.

                      A conventional fighting force can never win a guerilla war....as in the French and US in Vietnam and the Russians and US in Afganistan. The guerilla forces just wait until the conventional forces run out of time, money, and men...and then just walk back in.

                        Auferre, rapere, trucidare falsibus nominbus imperium, atque soliditudinem faciunt pacem appellant - They kill, rape and pillage, and they falsely call it "to govern", and where they create a dessert they call it "peace".

                        The Romans handled guerillas pretty well.

                          The democrats are scared of Trump so much they are literally pissing in their pants and blaming him for everything under the sun.

                            And can anyone say what Trump did that was so bad for the country? The economy went up, real earnings went up, gas prices went down. What did he do wrong?

                                Trump became a republican, otherwise he could have been the darling of the democratic party. The real kicker is how the democrats fawn over Mr. Hollow Head and his inability to do anything, even read prepared answers while the country goes down the sewer.
