Trump, in unprecedented fashion for a president, rips press
Associated Press ^ | 2/6/2017 | JONATHAN LEMIRE

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The leaks are real. But the news about them is fake. The White House is a fine-tuned machine. Russia is a ruse.

For its stunning moments and memorable one-liners, Donald Trump's first solo news conference as president has no rivals in recent memory. For all the trappings of the White House and traditions of the forum, his performance was one of a swaggering, blustery campaigner, armed with grievances and primed to unload on his favorite targets.

Perhaps the bias of the press against this administration has been “unprecedented”?!

They need to put in a kitten cuddle room next to the press room. Or maybe puppies, or baby goats.

When he said “you have a lower approval rating than Congress” to all the presstitutes there, I pretty much snarfed CocaCola all over my desk out of my nose.

He just laid into them... was good to see.

“Trump, in unprecedented fashion for a president, rips press”

And this is exactly what this country needs!

No GOPe, No RINOs.

But we need someone like Trump which will rip a new one for the press, and all the other Opposition Party. The press needs to be buried.

So many. many great lines and responses the President said today.

One of them was so true, it rang bells everywhere:

“PEOPLE DON’T BELIEVE YOU ANYMORE!”

Good. It’s about time they were spanked and brought up short.

And it was...awesome! The reporters need to learn the PRESIDENT Trump is one of US. He’s not just another two bit POLITICIAN like McCain and Graham. He can’t be intimidated.

The press is having a hard time coming to terms with Trump describing them like 66% to 85% of the nation sees them.

Also notable is the ideological gap when it comes to faith in newspapers: 15% of conservatives vs. 34% of liberals.

This was lifted out of an al Jazerra poll, quoted from another web entity.

Take it for what it is. Al Jazerra certainly had no reason to pander to Conservatives.

Great cartoon. I think it could have been better.

I’d have liked to see it drawn with her clothing, then the car bits behind her, her sitting there in her underwear with bare feet and toes just short of the finish line.

By the end, she really was a naked candidate, hanging out there for all to see.

Given all her health problems, it might should have been an ambulance they were pushing.

Hello President Tim Kaine ..... (shudders).

(shudders at both of them)

The Democrats must really be cuckoo. But that’s redundant.

Skunks would be better. Frightened skunks.

Pack the "reporters" inside, lock the door from the outside, and turn out the lights.
