When that person asks in the fake worried way, 'when is Biden going to get his check-up?' how can she avoid saying, "why not wait till about 12 months have passed and there's really a reason to wonder about it? Why make up something out of nothing so the whole room feels suspicion?" Or rather, the whole country. In fact all the questions are of this type.
Maybe this is a sign Biden hasn't really got any problems. In a way it is. Otherwise the reporters would be yelling questions over each other. Like a pack of excited dogs.
Rupert and Lachlan Murdoch know that they're not only bringing down an American presidency (or trying to, with some success) but US democracy as well. They know it.
At least they have the virtue of knowing it. The rest of the Beltway press is able to delude itself, grinning and gloating as they follow the pack over the cliff, promoting the Big Lie, smearing the Democrats, shredding the Democratic agenda (and the small-d one as well), dragging the poor old country in their wake: "We're Journalists!" they crow. "We Get Criticized By Both Sides, So We Must Be Doing Something Right!"
That self-delusion is killing us all. At least the Murdochs are self-aware. Points for that.
Well...I mean, the United States as such probably not, no. But the land mass and the folks that were living here at the time would have gotten on juuuust fine....
But we all know, its about the United States as a political entity...
Yeah, points for the Murdochs’ self-awareness, I guess. Perhaps that’s what makes Douchey’s and the NYPost guy’s loud, faux-outraged voices and their predictably irrelevant attempts at “Gotcha!” so tiresome.
I do wonder if most of the rest of the WHPC really regard themselves as serious, independent-minded political reporters, rather than stables of firmly-gatekept stenographers, dutifully fulfilling their roles as minions of the oligarchy.
I think they all got spoiled by TFG and his ridiculous “press secretaries,” when every day was theater day, they could insert themselves into the narrative, and their stories practically wrote themselves. Psaki put an end to that shit, and now they’re on their own.
uh … I guess?
They are framing it that way because their bosses really don't want their taxes raised.
Yay! Sounds like progress!
Never go Full Passive Voice...
At least not around Psaki.
Nor start your Q with a vague “Some are saying …” Jen hates that shit and will immediately demand receipts.
100% teachers vaxxed! Still out: one para, who sadly, is no great loss, and maybe a couple of other family assistants and cafeteria staff.

some italian guy in boston once told me that leif didn't stick around, so it didn't count.
"He's taken on a penisary form, in the shape of hard on boner meat."

But it would have been spelled with the traditional 'j'
See, I know this because of The Sopranos (I mean, I'm sure I was taught this in school, but its not like I paid attention to any of that"
Don't recall that episode of Brady Bunch...
