    The press corps needs to stop turning out for these self- congratulatory, delusional travesties.   Let them lie to an empty room.

      But then where would they get their content for clicks and sweet sweet ad revenue?

      I think they should all stop turning out... except Jim Acosta. “Oh, hey, looks like we forgot to send somebody again, Sarah! Sorry. You just talk to Jim, I’m sure you two have a lot in common!”

    I suspect that Fox News got to them and told them that they could set precedent for a D president using arbitrary rules of decorum to remove the likes of Fox.

      Eh, I doubt. The administration’s case was DOA. and the likely outcome would have been another ruling making it even more difficult for the White House to revoke or deny press passes.

      No matter what the spokespeople say, this was such an open and shut case that I’m sure the DoJ and other attorneys working for the White House were trying to avoid it.

      I imagine that involves working together to distract Trump with a sparkly object long enough that his fishlike memory would forget the whole thing ever happened while someone does the actual work of lifting the ban.

      Exactly, they didn’t want to have a precedent set that would hurt them when they try to do this again in the future with better planned bullshit justifications

    Because the White House is petty AF, the letter also outlined new rules for reporters including “limiting each journalist to one question with follow-ups coming ‘at the discretion of the president or other White House officials taking questions.’

    I suspect that CNN won the battle but lost the war.

    I’d love to be wrong. I hope I am.

    It might have been the crane kick or the leg drop but either way,

    I was thinking of a classic SD “Special Delivery” Jones forearm to the head, a classic move that inevitably led to trying it one too many times and, sadly, getting bested in the end.
