She is decent politician. Never answers the question instead diverts attention to something completely irrelevant. Apparently instead of the press holding the president and the politicians accountable (which is basically what their role is) we are going to have 4 years of a idiot man-child president trying to hold the press accountable.

SNL is about to be rendered worthless, who needs satire when real life is soo fukked up?

So going forward, we have no way of verifying or fact checking any information coming from the White House..So if we conduct a raid against ISIS and we lose special forces, how will we know??..What if they choose not to tell us any bad news or any mistakes they have made..Are there any laws to make this information public??..They could make all this stuff classified..

Because there is no way any news gets out that makes Trump looks bad...

who's the first media outlet that's going to be banned from the white house?

npr and pbs won't be banned - they're just going to be eliminated...

President-elect Donald Trump is believed to be planning on shutting down arts and heritage programs as part of a raft of budget-tightening measures.

The Hill, whose source is an unnamed member of Trump’s transition team, reported that Trump will eliminate both the National Endowment For The Arts and the National Endowment For The Humanities, and privatise the Corporation For Public Broadcasting.

The latter partially funds National Public Radio (NPR) and Public Broadcasting Service (PBS), currently receiving $445.5 million a year from the government, around half of which goes to the US’ approx. 350 public television stations.

Trump keeps saying he wants to unite the country but so far his actions already show that simply isn't true. Talk about getting off on the wrong foot!!! 🤡

EVERYONE gives the 'I want to unite and reach out speech' when they start, I'm just impressed he did it with a straight face!

He basically just gave China a free run at the 3 most important economies in the world in the next decade...Not only will it impact our companies economically but more importantly it will impact our influence in the region...We are withdrawing from the world as China is expanding...Asia will be key in the next decade...

My only concern is that these aren't well thought out strategic actions on Trump's part..It was a promise to get elected...So it makes him look good to keep a promise but ultimately can hurt this country in a big way...

CBS News confirmed reports that President Donald Trump brought a studio audience to his visit with the CIA on Saturday. The news agency reports that an official said the visit left a wake of “unease,” “made relations with the intelligence community worse,” and was “uncomfortable.”

Intelligence people were “stunned” and “offended by the president’s tone,” CBS reports. “U.S. government sources tell CBS News that there is a sense of unease in the intelligence community after President Trump’s visit to CIA headquarters on Saturday.”

Also, Trump did bring cheering props, which fits with how he has operated previously in requiring a cheering section – a sort of laugh track of supportive extras like those his campaign hired for his announcement event. It has been confirmed by Trump insiders that the President loves props.

“Authorities are also pushing back against the perception that the CIA workforce was cheering for the president. They say the first three rows in front of the president were largely made up of supporters of Mr. Trump’s campaign,” CBS continued.

The crowd was filled out with about 40 Trump invites and also, the front rows were senior CIA who were not cheering (on the video you can see their heads pivot to the cheers and laughter while not joining in), “An official with knowledge of the make-up of the crowd says that there were about 40 people who’d been invited by the Trump, Mike Pence and Rep. Mike Pompeo teams. The Trump team expected Rep. Pompeo, R-Kansas, to be sworn in during the event as the next CIA director, but the vote to confirm him was delayed on Friday by Senate Democrats. Also sitting in the first several rows in front of the president was the CIA’s senior leadership, which was not cheering the remarks.”
