Yeah pretty much.

No press conferences between "please Russia hack hillary" and last week?

And when he finally did hold one, he called CNN "fake news" (for a report which was anything but) and shouted down a reporter who wanted a question in response to those allegations, and his press secretary then threatened to throw that reporter out of the conference. Then afterwards Spicer demanded an apology from CNN and the reporter!

And now the latest stories that it's possible or even likely that the Press Corp is going to be kicked out of the West Wing.

So yeah, starting out by being somewhat more reasonable in how his administration deals with the press, and acting a little less like his hero Putin would be a good start.

Excuse me? Are you saying that buzzfeed/CNN story was not fake news?

I didn't mention BuzzFeed. I mentioned CNN. You're either falling for the Trump/Conway/Spicer trick of conflating two things to de-legitimize them, or your wilfully doing it yourself.

Read your stuff man, ( news )before you start to shift the blame - like what losing side has been doing since the unimaginable happened. Buzzfeed made the first move with this fake news and CNN backed them up and thats the fact.

No, CNN reported that the President and Trump had been briefed on the dossier. They did not report its contents, and also stated (as Buzzfeed did tbf) that the contents were unverified. This (the briefing, not the contents) has subsequently been proved accurate.

The President and Trump *being briefed* on a document CLAIMING (not proving, CLAIMING) that Trump is vulnerable to Russian blackmail isn't fake news. It's just news.


Buzzfeed then dumped the entire contents online, in a move which you can agree or disagree with (though it's not an unheard of move - run with what you've got, and see if it shakes anything more concrete loose), but it doesn't make what CNN reported "fake news" or anything close to it. Nor does it excuse the man who's supposed to be leading the country in a few days, acting like a petulant child in his first press conference in 167 days.

Why back up fake news then? Why did other big companies flat out ditch that non story because it didnt have legs at all. It basically was legless lame duck.

Wow. Are you actually sure you're not Kelly Ann Conway?

Your "ignore, ignore, ignore, deny, deny, deny" schtick is an uncanny impression if not.

Either way, you're either trolling or simply have no interest in a reasoned debate... so you're a pretty good example of what the ignore function is for. Take care.

Conway is one of the last reasonable people in the political scene.

@ilikecheese This is a great article from NBC News (no friend of Trump) on what the Democratic Party is facing and what I alluded to earlier:

Interesting read. I'm not stepping away from my stance that Trump going extreme to the right and doing nothing to reach across the aisle will galvanize Democrats.

The party was written for dead before...just as the Republicans were not so long ago.

I will say that gerrymandering is a terrible practice done by both parties. More states need to follow California's lead here IMO.
