Pritzker accused trump of trying to steal the midterm elections. It didn't go well.

When trump was asked at his "gaggle" this morning about Pritzker's accusation he said that Pritzker had to work on crime in his state.

Pritzker immediately posted that that wasn't a denial. And it wasn't. He's not even trying to hide it anymore.

He didn’t bother to hide it last time and nobody seemed to care (of those who could call him on it).

but if we had a real WH press corps they would press him on this until they got a real answer.

questions that he doesn't want to deal with. Then he berates them with personal attacks on the journalist and their employer. Afterward, he refuses to call on them ever again.

What if journalists united in asking one or two questions on topics that Trump tries to avoid? When he shoots down one of them then the next one would ask the same question. On down the line.

After the second one, and certainly the third one, he would have a tantrum. He would turn to Fox or other RW journalists and avoid the rest.

Such actions would get a lot of attention. If the question was one that the public wants answered, like the Epstein files, Trump's behavior would expose him even more to public dissatisfaction with him.

I've been asking the same thing for months now. The WH press corps is particularly bad at not backing each other up or doing follow ups. The come across as prima donas.

... my hatred of Trump and his malignant minions blossoms like a blood red mushroom cloud. I will be greatly relieved when he is dead.

I always raced to DU every morning to see if we were finally rid of this evil, toxic twit. Now I check in nearly hourly to see if Satan has finally called him home.

It’s unseasonably warm where I live. Makes me wonder if Hell is firing up …

He’s almost 80. But if worse comes to worst, we’d be stuck with that S.O.B. Vance. So I don’t know what kind of Hell THAT would mean.

Merely what you can get away with.

I recall many years ago,Bush senior saying something to the effect that if they only knew what we are really doing.....
