They didn’t lose the First Amendment. They lost a badge. They can still speak. They can still publish. They can still cover him. They just don’t get to do it from inside the White House.

They didn’t lose the First Amendment. They lost a badge.

They can still speak. They can still publish. They can still cover him. They just don’t get to do it from inside the White House.

Nancy Pelosi doesn’t get to lecture anyone about the Constitution.
Her gun record:
• In Congress since 1987
• NRA grade: F. Scores 0–8% for decades
• Brady Campaign: 100%
• 1994: voted for the federal assault-weapons ban
• 1999: voted against cutting the gun-show wait from 3 days to 1
• 2003: voted against letting commercial pilots carry
• 2003 and 2005: voted against protecting gun makers and sellers from misuse lawsuits
• 2009: “We want them registered. We don’t want them crossing state lines.”
• 2019: whipped and passed H.R. 8 background checks on private sales
• 2019: passed H.R. 1112 stretch the background-check wait up to 10 days
• 2022: voted for the Bipartisan Safer Communities Act
• 2022: brought H.R. 1808 to the floor and voted yes new assault-weapons and magazine ban
• 2020: Everytown “Gun Sense Lawmaker of the Year”
She spent 40 years treating the Second Amendment like a privilege. Now she’s clutching the First Amendment over a press pass.
A White House badge is not the Bill of Rights. Neither is her record.

The press are such whiney babies.

[Sacajaweau]

Maybe Roosevelt's fireside chat needs to make a comeback. Part of the story was that it was to eliminate the nasty press.

Or just have press conferences...no questions.

> They didn’t lose the First Amendment. They lost a badge. <

(Somebody had to post it.)

[FlipWilson]

The Narrative Media isn’t after anything but immunity.

Say what they want, do what they want, hurt whoever they want, censor those they disagree with, slander those they hate, and on and on. And they want to do it all with impunity.

You? You have to take it and obey them.

Why? Because they are better than you little putrid peasants.

The result- you don’t hate them enough.

[PGR88]

Like SOOOO many institutions in America, the White House Press Pool and the White House Correspondents Association, due to their long-standing “access” and political usefulness to the deep-state - became a super-elitist, highly-controlled, oligopoly.

Everyone should rejoice Trump is dismantling it.

[Brian Griffin]

Justice Roberts,

See this piece of paper here, I’ll just come into your home and ask you a few pointed questions....

[left that other site]

Ah...you beat me to it!

[fruser1]

If they can be forced into the White House in the name of free speech, then so can I.

[Danie_2023]

“”The press are such whiney babies.””

***

Sorry, but... that’s an insult to babies everywhere. The pressholes are much, much worse than merely being ‘whiney’, also.

[Alberta's Child]

EXACTLY.

[Flaming Conservative]

They’re holding their breath til they turn blue

[Brian Griffin]

Defriended Persons:

No significant numbers of the people likely to vote for me or my Republican team members care to hear the grossly overweighted negatives broadcast by your employers.

The ad dollars made possible by my efforts should go to news organizations that treat me better than those that employ you.

I have no desire to see you or have you in my presence.

You can go to Hell and it has been a pleasure to move you further along in your miserable lives.

[Brian Griffin]

“The result- you don’t hate them enough.”

No switch gets flicked at 6:29PM at my house.

No hate follows either.

[Brian Griffin]

Trump might decide to reside a Mar-a-Lago and speak only through Truth Social.

[Seruzawa]

Lol. It will be all over the internet. The MSM is whistling past the graveyard.

[T.B. Yoits]

The Propaganda Media needs to be charged for every penny of their illegal political contributions-in-kind, because that’s exactly what they’ve been doing for decades.

[b4me]

doubt they will learn or change anything. Their mindset ; we want what we want when and how we want it, it’s only fair. otherwise cry 1st amendment or racist or.....

[madison10]

True.

[Vendome]

The White doesn’t need them as much as the legacy lame stream media needs Trump.

They will whine their way back in....
