It turns out that President Donald Trump may not have thought through all the consequences before he banned some of his most hated news outlets from the White House.

After Trump declared CNN, MS NOW, and Politico “fake news” and exiled them from the White House grounds on Friday, the other networks that make up the White House press pool—including ABC, CBS, NBC, and even Fox News—agreed to boycott their pool duties on Monday in solidarity with the banned outlets.


Lol, will it be a TACO Tuesday?

President Turdbrain does a turdbrain thing because he is a turdbrain

The only ones surprised by this are other turdbrains

Every second that passes wherein this man is not assassinated is a great shame on this nation.

It is a global absurdity that the two people who have actually tried so far were amongst the dumbest of all humans ever to exist

Can we get a smart person on this, please? 8 billion people would thank you.

Thats because they were a political setup allowed to get close during an election year. They frothed his base into a rabid fury. Notice how two happened back to back before the election and then radio silence for two years?

Are you smart or dumb, or are you just trying to get others to do what you want?

Clearly, you have answered your own question

You don't often see people admit to trolling like that.

You're smart enough to do it, you don't need a degree in rocket science.

Buy a plane ticket, get to work! Eight billion people are desperate for your strong leadership.

Then 8 billion people can buy me a plane ticket, because I certainly can’t afford it on my own.

Paying rent and buying food is a struggle

Or are you just so stupid/privilege/rich that you missed the entire message of everything I just sent?

And literally all of those cases “fuck you”
