President-elect Donald Trump is set to blow up the White House briefing room, ending the cozy relationship and practices of the past as he seizes on new ways to communicate with his nearly 45 million social media followers, according to incoming Press Secretary Sean Spicer.

"Business as usual is over," he said.

Just had a vision of him getting to the podium, looking out at the Press, then breaking out his phone and tweeting a few lines and telling them the session is over - they can go to his twitter to get the info.....

Excellent observations about rush, it is so sad what has become of him. Multitudes like me used to listen to him for decades until he got lazy, became all about "rush", the money, and shilling for the GOPe.

You are correct about Sean Hanity. He does find ways to get around "the powers that be", doesn't lie to his audience, and like Jeff Kuhner, has put his career on the line and lost "friends" because of his support for PEOTUS Trump and his love of country.

Hannity was the ONLY one who talked about Obama’s SS and documentation difficulties, and he was clearly constrained so he sneaked in in, on radio, by telling us about colleagues who were seriously threatened by other than their employers when they dared mention these banned subjects. Rush loves to read about the sacrifices of the founders, but he wouldn’t sacrifice one gold plated toilet paper holder for the country. Sean wants to protect his family as well, but he is a true patriot and I believe would take a bullet for the country if he had to.

[Yaelle]

I will try to find Kuhner, never listened to him before.

You can listen to Jeff Kuhner on the Internet either at:

www.wrko.com

Or by listening to WRKO using the "TuneIn Radio app" (Available at The Play Store or free): Jeff Kuhner is on from 12PM - 3PM; then Howe Carr is on directly after Jeff from 3PM - 7PM.

I'm very interested in cutting the cord. What do you end up paying the $27 for? And what kind of over the air antenna do you use to get local TV? Thanks for any tips - and happy New Year!

I cut the cable less than six months ago, but I couldn't beat their internet connection, so I kept that.

I got several streaming services that had me around that $27 bucks a month figure, and a digital antennae for local news.

Next thing I know, XFINITY comes back with economy cable (40 channels, national and local news included), no contract, no rental fee, just a flat ten bucks a month.

I couldn't beat that, so for now I have cable tv that I don't watch anyway ;o)

[Menehune56]

Thanks for that information. Does your Xfinity economy package include HGTV, FNC, History, and A&E? Those are really the only cable channels we’d miss.

well, should I get a Twitter account and become 45,000,001 or just come here for the daily tweet?

The future.....

Dateline February 5, 2017

Lafayette Park.

The daily White House tweet included a message to the non working city dwellers existing on their pitiful small allowances that must now be collected in person after presentation of the new National Proof of Citizenship card, “The lines are long but the cold weather should abate in about 60 days, hang in there”

An additional Presidential tweet is expected tomorrow.

[papertyger]

Actually, yes. I guess those are low value channels, so they give them away.

Bear in mind none of these channels are HD, but they’re good enough for me.
