Days 106-107 of no 45 being elected and 35-36 of him being in office.
Number 45 is banning certain news outlets from the White House. Can you guess which ones?
BREAKING: the rich asshole Administration Bans CNN, The New York Times, Politico From White House Media Briefing
This is completely insane.
Taking heed from every crackpot dictatorship in modern history, the the rich asshole administration has blocked several major media outlets from a White House media briefing on Friday. Reports The Daily Beast"
This, for lack of a better word, is disgraceful. It is unclear exactly why the rich asshole blocked the news organizations mentioned above, but given the coverage he has been getting from reputable media outlets, it seems likely they are taking the first steps towards a blackout of the mainstream media. As Steve Bannon declared at CPAC yesterday, the rich asshole is going to war with "corporate media" (read any outlet that reports on facts):
“Here’s where it’s going to get worse,” Bannon said. “He’s [the rich asshole] going to continue to press his agenda. And, as economic conditions get better, as more jobs get better, they’re going to continue to fight. If you think they’re going to give you their country back without a fight, you are sadly mistaken."
“Every day it is going to be a fight.”
And today it seems that fight got a whole lot deadlier.
Shep Smith condemns the rich asshole’s ban on news outlets: ‘CNN is not fake news!’

In the wake of President the rich asshole’s decision to bar specific media outlets such as CNN, BuzzFeed News, and POLITICO from attending a press conference with White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, Shepard Smith of Fox News slammed the rich asshole’s attack on the free press.
In the wake of President the rich asshole‘s decision to bar specific media outlets such as CNN, BuzzFeed News, and POLITICO from attending a press conference with White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer, Shepard Smith of Fox News slammed the move for setting a dangerous precedent.
Smith said the White House has “frozen out media organizations that president the rich asshole has blasted as ‘fake news,’” pointing out that “hand-picked outlets to cover the briefing” were chosen instead. Smith said the move was “highly unusual.”
Smith also noted that the banned outlets also happened to be at the forefront of reporting on the rich asshole’s alleged Russia ties.
“Fake news refers to stories that are created by entities pretending to be news organizations solely to draw clicks and views that are solely based on nothing of substance,” Smith said. “In short, fake news is made-up nonsense delivered for financial gain. CNN’s reporting was not fake news.”
Last week, Smith ripped into the rich asshole’s bizarre press conference where he attacked the media, dismissed the Russia controversy, and repeated an erroneous claim of his electoral landslide win against Hillary Clinton.
No One Noticed This One Embarrassing Problem With These the rich asshole Flags At CPAC
UPDATE 220 PM
An anonymous source has stepped forward to state that he and a group of people handed out the flags at CPAC. The people waving the flags were supposedly warned that they would be kicked out of the conference if caught.
We handed out some awesome the rich asshole flags right here. Unfortunately, they were confiscated eventually and then I stood up while the president was speaking and called him a fascist,” he said. “And, was escorted out and now I’m barred from the property. Good day overall, though.
It was a good day, indeed. We just wish he would tell us who he is.
———-
Yesterday at CPAC, someone handed out mini flags with the name RICH ASSHOLE emblazoned across the middle. These were waved by Trumpeters during the festivities celebrating their Idiot-in-Chief. These flags were quickly rounded up, confiscated from the audience’s sweaty, little fists. Many were left wondering why they were being taken away.
Turns out, the flags were RUSSIAN flags! That’s right, Old Glory wasn’t being waved at all. These were red, white and blue, but they were manufactured to look exactly like Russia’s tricolor flag.
We are so happy that these little keepsakes did not go unnoticed. It remains to be seen whether this was a massive joke or true oversight. Either way, it makes us happy. Very happy.
It made others take a second to wonder just what in the hell was up. While some immediately jumped to the troll conclusion, most thought this was an error made from ignorance.
Seriously? Russian Flags with Trump's name at CPAC? Clueless or DGAF?twitter.com/people4bernie/…
We have a very real fear that this could definitely be both scenarios. In a recent Gallup poll, Putin’s popularity has increased by 20 percent among Republicans in the last two years. It remains to be seen if the increase in support is due the Orange One’s failure to say anything negative about the leader or that they support illegal business moves. All we know is that Reagan, the Republican’s darling, is rolling over in his grave.
Someone handed out Trump Russian flags on the #CPAC2017 floor before Trump's speech pic.twitter.com/uf1ADMt6ZL
@TaylorLorenz Do those folks know they are Russian flags? It wouldn't surprise me in the least if they didn't....
It appears that the general population is assuming that the the rich asshole supporters at CPAC yesterday did not realize they were waving little Russian flags like good Putin supporters. All they saw was the name RICH ASSHOLE and the correct colors. This is why we need to be educated, folks. Ignorance begets ignorance begets a nightmare in the White House.
We all hope this is true. PLEASE let it be true!
Until the real journalists uncover the story a bit more, though, we truly don’t know. Either way, we can all agree that this is the most amusing story to come from the CPAC to date. The coverage will keep us all on the edge of our seats, waiting for the next blunder to arise. And we all know there will be more.
CNN, Politico, BBC & More BANNED At WH Press Briefings – Boycott Backlash Begins
White House Bans Certain Media Outlets From Press Briefing
In a deeply troubling move, the the rich asshole White House banned certain news organizations from attending a press briefing on Friday.
CNN, the New York Times, the Los Angeles Times, the Hill, Buzzfeed, BBC and Politico were among the organizations excluded from the press briefing, which was intended to be less “formal” than the typical, televised events held in the White House briefing room. These press briefings are known as a gaggle, CNN reports.
New York Times executive editor Dean Baquet wrote the following statement in reaction to the White House handpicking what media outlets receive information.
“Nothing like this has ever happened at the White House in our long history of covering multiple administrations of different parties. We strongly protest the exclusion of The New York Times and the other news organizations. Free media access to a transparent government is obviously of crucial national interest.”
While those news organizations were purposefully excluded, conservative outlets such as Breitbart News, the Washington Times, and One America News Network were allowed into the press briefing.
The Rich Asshole Attacked The Media At CPAC
The action came just hours after some rich asshole continued his open battle against the media, during his appearance at the Conservative Political Action Conference, just outside of Washington. During his CPAC speech, the rich asshole said again that the press is “the enemy of the people.”
“They are the enemy of the people because they have no sources,” the rich asshole said. “They just make them up when there are none.”
The president also stated that reporters shouldn’t be “allowed” to use unnamed sources.
The Associated Press and Time magazine boycotted the press briefing because of how it was handled. The White House Correspondents Association is protesting, and released the following statement:
“The WHCA board is protesting strongly against how today’s gaggle is being handled by the White House. We encourage the organizations that were allowed in to share the material with others in the press corps who were not. The board will be discussing this further with White House staff.”
So far, there has been no immediate explanation forthcoming from the White House.
NEVER FORGET
16 Anti-Gay Activists And Lawmakers Caught Being Gay, the rich asshole Targets LGBT Community Instead
February 24, 2017 by Samuel Warde No Comments
the rich asshole administration targets LGBT community, yet these hypocrites pose a greater risk to society.
This Wednesday the rich asshole’s administration revoked President Obama’s guidelines regarding transgender bathrooms.
As Reuters reports: “Trump’s administration on Wednesday revoked landmark guidance to public schools letting transgender students use the bathrooms of their choice, reversing a signature initiative of former Democratic President Barack Obama.”
Reversing the Obama guidelines stands to inflame passions in the latest conflict in America between believers in traditional values and social progressives, and is likely to prompt more of the street protests that followed the rich asshole’s Nov. 8 election.Obama had instructed public schools last May to let transgender students use the bathrooms matching their chosen gender identity, threatening to withhold funding for schools that did not comply. Transgender people hailed the step as victory for their civil rights.
Democratic Senator Edward Markey of Massachusetts blasted the rich asshole later that day, stating that he seems to think that LGBT stands for “Let’s Go Back in Time.”
“President the rich asshole seems to think #LGBT stands for Let’s Go Back in Time. He’s wrong,” Markey wrote on a Facebook posts, adding: “We stand with our transgender brothers and sisters in the fight to defend progress. All students deserve to feel safe and valued for who who they are. Shame on you, President the rich asshole. #protecttranskids”
While critics say allowing individuals the use of bathrooms and locker rooms matching their gender identity is dangerous, Media Matters, Mic, and Vox all report that there has not been a single instance of a sexual voyeurism and assault in bathrooms by a transgender individual. However, there is ample cause for concern that transgenders are at significant risk.
A survey released last year by the National Center for Transgender Equality has brought much-needed data into debate over transgender bathroom access. The survey, which represented an estimated 2 percent of America’s adult transgender population in 2015 with 27,715 respondents, found the lack of safe bathroom access can have a detrimental affect on the health and safety of transgender people.Nearly 60 percent of transgender people in the United States have avoided using a public restroom out of fear after having been harassed and/or assaulted, the survey found. A total of 24 percent of respondents said their presence in a restroom had been questioned within the last year. Twelve percent reported having been harassed, attacked, or sexually assaulted in a restroom within the last year. And 9 percent said they were denied access to a restroom that best matched their gender identity in the last year.
Ranker published a list of 16 anti-gay activists and lawmakers who were caught being gay, noting that “This list will continue to grow as new anti-gay activists come out of the closet, albeit against their will (most of the time). Keep your eyes peeled for more!
Liberals Unite reported on 8 of those individuals last April, and we will include 4 of them here. If you would like to see the full list of Ranker’s 16 you can do so here.
David Dreier
Perhaps the most prominent and powerful legislator on this list, former Congressman David Dreier (R-CA) had a history of voting against same-sex marriage and gay adoption rights in his 32 years as a member of the House of Representatives.
Speculations about Dreier’s sexuality were always present, as well as accusations of having sex with staff members and residing with his male chief of staff – who was paid an unusually high salary.
In 2005 Dreier nearly became majority leader of the House, but was dismissed by the far-right members of his party who claimed his views were “too moderate.” When asked about Dreier’s being passed over for the job for being too moderate, (now former) Rep. Barney Frank, (D-MA) an openly-gay man, said “Yes, in the sense that I marched in the moderate pride parade last summer and went to a moderate bar.”
Dreier retired from Congress in 2013.
Larry Craig
Former Senator Larry Craig (R-ID) is another lawmaker with a history of championing anti-gay legislation. One of the senators who enacted the military’s “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy, he was also a supporter of the Federal marriage Amendment, which banned same-sex marriage, and received a zero rating from the Human Rights Campaign during his 18 year tenure in the Senate.
Craig was arrested in 2007 for soliciting a plainclothes police officer for sex in a bathroom at the Minneapolis-St.Paul airport. Investigating complaints of lewd behavior, including the exchange of money for sex, the officer took Craig into custody after he entered the stall next to him and tapped his right foot. Craig also swiped his hand under the stall divider palms up three times, which is used “as a signal used by persons wishing to engage in lewd conduct.”
Craig initially entered a guilty plea and paid a $500 fine, but later reversed course, stating “At the time of this incident, I complained to the police that they were misconstruing my actions. I was not involved in any inappropriate conduct,” Craig said. “I should have had the advice of counsel in resolving this matter. In hindsight, I should not have pled guilty. I was trying to handle this matter myself quickly and expeditiously.”
Craig claimed that he had a “wide stance,” which is why his foot tapped the undercover officer’s foot.
He signaled his intention to resign from the Senate, effective September 30, but later recanted by issuing a statement refusing to resign after his attempt to withdraw his guilty plea failed.
The senator decided against running for re-election when his seat was up in 2008.
Ed Schrock
Former Republican Virginia state senator and United States representative Ed Schrock abruptly ended a bid for a third term in Congress after allegations regarding his sexuality were brought to light.
Gay activist Michael Rogers operated a website where he exposed legislators who held anti-gay views but were, according to Rogers, secretly gay themselves. He claimed on his site that Schrock, who is married and has a child, had been recorded several years earlier using a phone service that places ads to arrange rendezvous with other men.
“Why should my community protect him?” Rogers asked. “He’s the enemy.”
The hypocrisy alleged by Rogers comes from Schrock’s own words and voting record regarding gay rights. A former member of the Navy, Schrock spoke out in 2000 in favor of ending the Clinton-era “Don’t ask, don’t tell” policy regarding gays serving in the military.
“You’re in the showers with them, you’re in the bunk room with them, you’re in staterooms with them,” Schrock told the Virginian-Pilot. “You just hope no harm would come by folks who are of that persuasion. It’s a discipline thing.”
Although the allegations of Schrock’s participation in the telephone service were never proven, they were enough to have him come to the decision of ending his campaign to keep his congressional seat in 2004.
Phillip Hinkle
Former Indiana state representative Phillip Hinkle is yet another lawmaker who was a crusader against gay rights, voting in the affirmative for a constitutional amendment defining marriage as between a man and a woman.
In 2011, emails were revealed between the Republican legislator and an 18-year-old man that Hinkle found on Craigslist. Promising to pay the young man–since named as Kameryn Gibson–up to $140 for a “really good time.” The Indianapolis Star published the correspondence between the two, in which a plan to meet at a downtown Indianapolis hotel was detailed.
Initially refusing to resign, Hinkle said “I’m not gay.” While not denying what had transpired, he said he was “aware of a shakedown taking place.”
Gibson (whose Craigslist ad said “I need a sugga daddy”) alleges that he met with Hinkle and attempted to leave once he found out he was a state representative. Gibson also claimed that Hinkle at first wouldn’t let him leave, grabbed his rear, and and later gave him an iPod, a Blackberry and cash in the amount of $100 to keep quiet.
Hinkle said that he did make plans to meet Gibson, but denied it was for the purpose of a sexual encounter. He relayed to a local Indiana news station that, while his actions were “stupid,” he did not break any laws. “I don’t know what was going through my mind,” he said. “I don’t know why I did what I did.”
Hinkle eventually decided against running for re-election in the next cycle.

President the rich asshole Freaks Out On FBI In Belligerent Friday Morning Twitter Rant (TWEET)
The president took yet again this morning to picking a fight with the nation’s intelligence community.
In a Twitter rant, he blamed the FBI for the unsavory leaks that have been coming out of his administration, although there remains no evidence that the FBI is, in fact, in any way responsible.
Nonetheless, the rich asshole wrote, “The FBI is totally unable to stop the national security “leakers” that have permeated our government for a long time. They can’t even find the leakers within the FBI itself. Classified information is being given to media that could have a devastating effect on U.S. FIND NOW.”
The FBI is totally unable to stop the national security "leakers" that have permeated our government for a long time. They can't even……— some rich asshole (@realDonaldTrump) February 24, 2017
find the leakers within the FBI itself. Classified information is being given to media that could have a devastating effect on U.S. FIND NOW— some rich asshole (@realDonaldTrump) February 24, 2017
Again, there is no evidence that the FBI “can’t even find the leakers within the FBI itself.” the rich asshole has made this completely baseless allegation on what’s now multiple past occasions that unsavory, intelligence related leaks about him have been the work of the intelligence community itself, rather than, for instance, the work of a member of Congress or Congressional staffer who was briefed on the info that was eventually leaked.
To this end of bullying the intelligence community, at one point recently the rich asshole reportedly ordered the FBI to publicly “refute” claims that key members of the rich asshole’s campaign had maintained unusually active communications with Russians during the campaign. The agency, according to CNN, flatly refused to follow the order.
Perhaps that information, which only just came to light, is what prompted the rich asshole’s Friday morning Twitter rant?
Either way, the rich asshole’s intimidation of the nation’s intelligence community is relatively unique among presidents of the United States, and it comes with him having a personally good reason to strong arm the intelligence community into submission.
No matter who leaked the information about the investigations, the intelligence community is, in fact, actively investigating some rich asshole’s alleged secret ties to Russia. Officials are probing, for instance, why it is that the rich asshole campaign officials were in near constant contact with leading Russians throughout 2015 and 2016. Officials are reportedly also probing whether or not Vladimir Putin does, in fact, have personally compromising material on the rich asshole that could be used in a Russian effort to blackmail him.
Pranksters Hand Out Russian ‘the rich asshole’ Flags At Conservative Conference
via Twitter
If Republicans are going to support some rich asshole, they should admit to themselves they are also supporting Vladimir Putin and Russia as well. Recent reports show the the rich asshole administration is looking to remove punitive sanctions placed on the country by the Obama administration and allow it to control Crimea. Crimea is a peninsula in southern Ukraine rich in oil and natural gas which was seized by Russia in 2014.
At best, the the rich asshole administration is trying to create a friendlier relationship Vladimir Putin because, as the rich asshole says, “When you think about it, wouldn’t it be nice if we got along with Russia?” However, the the rich asshole-Russia relationship is currently being investigated by multiple intelligence agencies in the U.S. and abroad for the following, more sinister reasons:
A.) the rich asshole is being blackmailed by Russia
B.) the rich asshole is paying Russia back for interfering in the 2016 elections to help him defeat Hillary Clinton
C.) the rich asshole is compensating Russia for helping bankroll his businesses after going bankrupt
D.) High-ranking people in the the rich asshole administration have long ties to Russia and are pushing a pro-Putin agenda
E.) Any combination of A,B,C,D or E

To help Republicans get comfy with their newfound comrades, some pranksters handed out mini Russian flags with “RICH ASSHOLE” emblazoned on them at CPAC on Friday. The flags were given out at the annual gathering of conservatives in anticipation of the rich asshole’s speech. After images of happy, Russian flag-waving Republicans began popping up on social media, CPAC staffers confiscated them from them from attendees.
