It'll take a little time to drain the white house swamp.

Be assured, they will continue with this rhetoric right until they're escorted off government property, and then long afterward.

It's just noise that we have to collectively tune out. And like with sensory adaptation, it will draw less and less attention from people over time.

My favorite part about Trump saying he's going to take this to the Supreme court is that it means 1 of 2 things:

1) He is admitting that he is going to lose his court challenges a few times (this has to happen for it to get to the SC)

2) He doesn't understand how the Supreme Court works

Pretty sure the reality is that 1 is true (though he doesn't understand that's what he is admitting), and 2 is DEFINITELY true.

What's absolutely infuriating about all this is that you just KNOW that Trump won't back down unless the result is that he's won the election.

He simply won't accept it any other way.

Recount is done --> NOPE FAKE RECOUNT DO IT AGAIN
Camera recordings of everything --> NOPE ITS FAKE DEEP FAKE, MANY VOTES FOR ME NOT ON CAMERA
Jesus comes down and says you've lost --> NOPE FAKE JESUS, COMMUNIST GINA

So this all turns in an absolute and utter waste of time and resources.

3. Trump feels Quid Pro Quo applies in all dealings.

Well when she was on CNN as a Trump apologist she did not promote outright lies and blatantly false narratives. Obviously CNN would not let her get away with that but I thought she would be a real step up from Sanders.

That is 1000% BS. She was just as deplorable back then.

and obviously CNN had these piece of craps on to try and appear to be fair and balanced.

Trump has no idea how the Supreme Court works. He nominated three judges and doesn't know anything about them.

the whole gist of this job is to blatantly lie to people everyday. Feels like an impossible job for a decent person, so I don't know how you could have thought she'd be different.

Press briefings used to look like this. Hopefully, they will again.

Ugh. People exchanging pleasantries and using their manners.

Fielding questions and responding with clear and concise answers that address said questions. Just the lowest and most basic bars for any government to exceed.

Those were the days.

Not knowing who the #### the White House press secretary is by name.

Those were the days.

Very different interpretation of what was said there. Yes, he cut her off, but he followed it up with, "I want to make sure they do have something to back that up, but that's an explosive charge to make, that the other side is effectively rigging and cheating. If she does bring proof of that, of course we'll take you back. So far she has started saying right at the outset, welcoming fraud, welcoming illegal voting. Not so fast. More after this."

This was not a rebuke. This could be construed as issue framing and repetition of dog whistle language to get the audience fired up. He dropped rigging, cheating, fraud and illegal voting without stating that none of those claims were untrue, inaccurate, or lies. This is a soft propaganda technique to activate emotions and responses associated with those dog whistle terms used. No different than when a certain poster just starts asking questions. It is very transparent and not kosher. So be prepared for the opposite response you think this is going to draw, because Fox viewers are not buying anything except rigging, cheating, fraud and illegal voting is happening until it is ultimately rebuked from a trusted information source. Fox did not rebuke anything.
