Donald Trump is conducting a press conference right now with zalensky present the questions are largely coming from Maga Stooges right-wing media Stooges of trump.      . He has spent more time with his personal grievances bragging about himself attacking Joe Biden talking about how much the Democrats love crime how well the restaurants in DC are doing in the last few days and a bunch of other crap nonsense then he has been talking about zalensky who's sitting right next to him. He is renting about mail-in ballots and how the election was stolen from him in 2020.    This is so embarrassing for our Beloved Country and frankly for the whole world

When the ‘media’ outlets are handpicked (another nod to putin) the intent is clear. We’ll control the narrative, we’ll control the content, we’ll ban those who don’t follow along, and we’ll ignore, forget, and vindictively destroy our fundamental freedoms. And this isn’t the only assault.

One of the a****** media people in that room commented on the fact that zielinsky was wearing a suit in a way to remind everyone that he wasn't wearing a suit last time he was in the Oval Office and Trump tried to humiliate him.         I think the reporter is some d****** from Newsmax or oan of one of those far right channels and is the same guy that is  Marjorie Taylor Green's boyfriend.        This is the garbage we are getting from right wing media that populates the Oval Office and Trump's press conferences now

“Sucks when your own rules…”

They aren’t my rules. They are First Amendment rights etched in our Constitution.

Go ahead with your ‘whataboutisms’, your revisionist ‘tit-for-tat’ games, and your willful ignorance in flippantly dismissing what is happening today and the danger it poses.

Weirdly, the MAGA faithful imagine this as happening to their rightwing white Christian culture which is why they're so pissed off. Over the last thirty years the media has been increasingly "aware" of the legacy of racism that still pervades so much of American society so as the media started bringing it up the conservatives started calling them the "Mainstream Media" that they claim we shouldn't trust anymore. These ignorant bigots weren't being allowed to lazily wallow in their hate and bigotry free of criticism and exposure anymore, and the wet shit hit the fan when Obama was elected, and those rightwing bigots started marching in the streets under the "Tea party" banner which empowered the racists and is why we ended up with Trump.

MAGA and the tea party are just the same low IQ racist fascists going by a different name. Sad that Murdoch and Fox gave them a voice that they didn't deserve. Uneducated, ignorant folk who spend all of their time hating the "other" should just FOAD.

I really want to know why when there is this urgent matter of War and Peace and thousands of people dying every week or every day or whatever American Media continues to absolutely cuddle Donald Trump. At his press conference today with solensky by his side he was asked why don't you get more credit from the Democrats for all the peacemaking you've been doing that's a question that came from a reporter believe it or not and there are other questions they were obviously from right wing media intended to give Trump the opportunity to start ranting about things that have nothing to do with the war in Ukraine it's beyond disgraceful

You understand that's exactly how Democratic leaders are treated right?

Andrea Mitchell:  Gee Obama, why are Republicans so mean?  do they not grasp how smart you are?

That democrats are freaking out at this after spending their whole lives seeing Democratic Presidents treated this exact same way  by media is too funny.

If anyone is unsure whether America has descended toward a full-on autocracy, consider the gravity of the press conference that just transpired and listen to the questions posed by the White House Press Corps. It's an autocratically compatible group now, or one that understands they'd better play as they've been told for continued access. And their bosses said: Play. No challenges, no tough questions; tons of openings, TONS ... and nobody stepped up

Strange, I don't recall anyone from Fox News asking Putin, "Are you prepared to keep sending Russian troops to their deaths or are you going to call off your unprovoked invasion of Ukraine?" This game of blaming Zelensky & Ukraine for being invaded and murdered is disgusting.

Doocy asks Zelenskyy an insanely loaded question: "Are you prepared to keep sending Ukrainian troops to their deaths for another couple years, or are you going to agree to redraw the maps?

This game of blaming Zelensky & Ukraine for being invaded and murdered is disgusting.

Sadly, it was extremely easy for Russia to manipulate rightwing media because they share an agenda deeply rooted in authoritarianism. And of course, rightwing conservatives' tendency to ridicule higher education made them easy targets for Putin to use them like the little cucked bitches they are.

Right-wing influencers were duped to work for covert Russian operation, US says

An indictment filed Wednesday alleges a media company linked to six conservative influencers — including well-known personalities Tim Pool, Dave Rubin and Benny Johnson — was secretly funded by Russian state media employees to churn out English-language videos that were “often consistent” with the Kremlin’s “interest in amplifying U.S. domestic divisions in order to weaken U.S. opposition” to Russian interests, like its   war in Ukraine .

In addition to marking the third straight presidential election in which U.S. authorities have unveiled politically charged details about   Russia’s attempted interference in U.S. politics , an indictment indicates how Moscow may be attempting to capitalize on the skyrocketing popularity of right-wing podcasters, livestreamers and other content creators who have found successful careers on social media in the years since Trump was in office.

The U.S. Justice Department doesn’t allege any wrongdoing by the influencers, some of whom it says were given false information about the source of the company’s funding. Instead, it accuses two employees of RT, a Russian state media company, of funneling nearly $10 million to a Tennessee-based content creation company for Russia-friendly content.

The reality is they were already dupes before they got duped by Putin. Just a bunch of intellectually lazy religious bigots who decided to stop learning after their white male Christian pastor told them they and their religion are 'superior' to all others, and the God of the universe knows them, loves them and will soon come down and wipe out all their ideological enemies. Why do they need to understand anyone else? Why do they need to walk a mile in anyone else's shoes? Why bother having empathy for anyone who doesn't look like they do, pray like they do and love like they do because those are the only people they believe are loved by their God and will be saved. Putin knew this and took advantage of their choice to ridicule higher education that might have taught them about Russia's 'democracy-in-name-only' and understood that supporting Putin IS actually worse than standing with your fellow Americans even if they happen to be gay or on the left politically. Instead, we have millions of MAGAites who see Putin as some sort of strong man hero to be respected and applauded instead of the mass murderer he actually is.

Business is drastically down in DC bars and restaurants.

Invading our Capitol city over a DOGE minion getting sucker punched by a couple of teenagers is an overreaction of monumental proportions.

The people who live in DC are rightfully afraid because that's what this costly taxpayer exercise is supposed to create.

Trump created the fear literally out of nothing, for nothing, except to instill fear in a city that votes for Democrats.

Trump isn't afraid of Democrats, or liberals or "antifa". He is afraid of his own base.

Trump's base attacked and invaded the Capitol, so Trump knows what they can and will do. He pardoned these violent criminals.

He's afraid of the reaction to the Epstein files or what Putin might release if Trump doesn't give Russia the upper hand. He fears MAGA backlash more than anything.

So right now Trump is playing his base for all it's worth spreading BS about crime and " liberal" cities, stirring up fear and loathing so they don't focus on his crimes.

WASHINGTON (AP) — Three more Republican governors authorized the deployment of National Guard troops to Washington on Monday, part of President   Donald Trump’s   escalating show of force that he says is designed to crack down on crime and boost immigration enforcement in the nation’s capital. The announcements by Mississippi, Tennessee and Louisiana brought the number of state troops detailed to the president’s effort to more than 1,100 — and the number of states to six.

Governors from the states said they were responding to requests from the Trump administration to join the operation. It was not immediately clear why the administration requested additional military support. About 800 troops have already been called up from the Washington, D.C., guard and have had a limited assigned role so far in Trump’s 10-day-old attempted takeover of D.C. law enforcement.

No mention of the media submitting questions to the Biden White House in advance so he could have note cards on hand to answer them?  Odd.

it’s almost like this “outrage” is entirely manufactured.

Odd.

Why? This has zero to do with anything the Biden administration did. Apparently, Biden will continue to live on rent free in rightwing conservative corroded craniums even though he has exactly zero political power or influence. Hell, even Bill Clinton has been living in there rent free since the 90's.

it’s almost like this “outrage” is entirely manufactured.

What was entirely manufactured was the "outrage" over crime in DC and the supposed need for troops on the ground. It's stupid and dangerous and yet Trump's faithful love it because they don't give a fuck about the other half of the country that doesn't look like them, pray like them or live with their heads permanently stuffed up Trumps ass.

The most amazing thing about that tweet from Trump about the Smithsonian is that I doubt even a single one of his sycophants thought it strange he would be complaining about a history museum and zoo that had "nothing about the future". While it does say on its website that it's " shaping the future by preserving heritage" no doubt Trump wants to turn it into another gold painted propaganda machine that the MAGA faithful will come visit that shows what America could be under a permanent President Trump. It would no doubt be akin to something like the "Ark Encounter" in Kentucky, just painted gold with hundreds of bible merch vendors selling cheap Christian shit made in a sweatshop in Indonesia.

Of course, if Trump was to build his own museum it would likely look something like this...

Bundesarchiv_Bild_146-1990-073-26%2C_M%C3%BCnchen%2C_Haus_der_Deutschen_Kunst_crop.jpg

The  Führermuseum also referred to as the  Linz art gallery , was an unrealized art museum within a cultural complex planned by Adolf Hitler for his hometown.
