WASHINGTON - The pool reports shared by White House correspondents can be as mundane as a grocery list and about as informative - the who, what and when of the president's daily comings and goings, as recounted by a reporter who travels with the president for a day and relays it all to the rest of the press corps.
At least that's the way it used to be. In the Trump era - or more precisely in the waning days of the Trump administration - press pool reports have taken on a more cutting edge.
"The president has nothing on his public schedule today," began HuffPost reporter Shirish Date's pool report on Tuesday. "He also has not posted any falsehoods on Twitter about winning the election or fraud or anything else, for that matter, in more than 11 hours. The day, however, is young."
Date, the HuffPost reporter who authored Tuesday's pool report, said it would be a "disservice" if he didn't call out the president's lies about the election results. "His dishonesty and his falsehoods are as basic a part of the who-what-where landscape as the color of his tie," he said.
In the post-election lull, with a brooding president staying almost completely out of sight, pool reporters have found themselves with little to report but their own punchiness.
"Celebratory shouting rang out through the press workspace after the press office announcement at 8:13 pm that signaled to pool reporters that they could go home," Francesca Chambers of McClatchy reported Wednesday. Friday's pooler, Todd Gillman of the Dallas Morning News, included a response in his report to a fellow reporter's inquiry about the president going gray. "From 20 feet away, it appears light blond but I can see where it might appear gray in the right light on TV."

Shakespeare was wrong. First we kill the lying propagandists known as “journalists.” Lawyers are #2.
Vile liars. All of them.
How did we get to a point where an expressly left-wing blog like Huffpo is presented in the same light as MSM outlets who deceitfully and farcically present themselves as neutral outlets?
Title should read: “In the waning days of the Washington Com(munist) Post”
Dear God, May their lying reign soon end.
Love it! They’re not happy unless Trumps speaking.....and he’s starving them! HAHAHA!
How did we get here?
It begins in the home fostered by a lack of family values and an abrogation of parental duties and acceptance of public schools as a substitute.
So I guess you would like to include Rudy and Sidney and all the other lawyers fighting for Trump and the preservation of this Republic among the lawyers who should be killed?
I’ll issue a reprieve for the non-Derp Staters.
But they’ll always be human trash.
Same old turds floating around.
Same old pool snarks.
They’re admitting that the press is “snarky” by saying they are even “snarkier?” I thought journalcrats were “neutral.”

Reminds me of the Bible story. The Philistines mocked and taunted Israel with wicked glee until brave little David slaughtered their nasty Giant Goliath. Then it was curtains for them. I’m feeling the same vibes just up ahead.

At this point of my experience I can’t conceive that the SC would rule according to Law and Reason. But every time I come across an example of the above “forgone conclusion” a little voice, getting louder each time, says ‘Boy are you in for a shock’. Don’t know which to believe...
I was standing outside this morning, looking east. Venus is bright as a flashlight.
I was praying to God for Truth and Justice to prevail.
Just then, I saw a bright meteor flash down past Venus. I guess it was a Leonid. There is a “shower” in mid November.
But I’ll take it as an answer to my prayer.
Be our protection against the wickedness and snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray, and do thou, O Prince of the Heavenly Host,
by the power of God, cast into Hell,
Satan and all his evil spirits who roam about the earth
seeking the destruction of souls.
The truth is snark to the left.
It'll be a strange development if the lawyers end up saving us from the journalists, won't it? LOL!
I had a dream recently. Me and my family are in a station wagon driving by the ocean. The sea is angry with massive, gigantic waves , making frightening blue mountains of dangerous waters. As we are climbing a steep hill one of the waves breaks on the road threatening to wash us to sea. We gun the gas and make it to the top unharmed.
My interpretation: an evil blue wave seemed like it was going to wash us all away,but it failed.
take names and remember...
