Legit thought that was fauci asking the questions
brekko
If this is the only thing someone from the Past teleported to this time period saw, this alone should be enough to disqualify a president
AimlessSavant
Eat. Fucking. Shit.
elect86
Yeah, it takes a while. But honestly, in Trump's defence, it was a complicated sentence with more than 3 words

Is there a way to test a US president’s legal capabilities and deem them unfit for office?
squeakypanda
Not really. He has a Dr but his Dr has deemed him fit multiple times. Congress can try and use the 25th amendment but it would be unlikely
squeakypanda
To succeed.

Ladies and gentlemen...an actual journalist

Journalist Shirish Date is my new hero.
NarratorsVoice
You can see the exact moment that the question hit his reality barrier and is rejected by his brain.
FubarJunkie
Brain? What brain? It hit a void!
OverMyDadBody
Unrelated inguistic observation: hit a void means avoid. I never saw void and avoid as related words before.
reichstein
Apparently car tires are named such as they are the attire of the wheel. Since the wheel is "dressed" in rubber.

I would call you a moron, but that would be an insult to the greater moron population of the northwest portion of the USA.

FreshPrinceOfPersia
I guess the problem is the crazies that usually go around trying to assassinate presidents are on his side.
AimlessSavant
Well of course. Lincoln was killed by a team of Assassins who bribed their way into Lincoln's booth. This was pre Secret Service.
AimlessSavant
Garfield got shot on a train station, an easy thoroughfare to do it in, McKinley was approached by a
AimlessSavant
Bandaged-to-hand gunsman who approached to shake McKinley's hand. After JFK the SS clamped down hard.
AimlessSavant
Although the assassination method could still be pulled off today. It is no surprise we never see a open car display
AimlessSavant
of the president. Strictly in closed doors areas the SS stake out weeks in advance for. It would be hard for anyone to do.
PangolinBan
AimlessSavant
Oh yes, many have tried over the years, but all we have put to memory are the successes.
LordPaimon
The SS? You still have them? We got rid of those guys in the 40s they’re bad news... awesome outfits though. Sort of like the empire
AimlessSavant
Ohh piss off you know in this conversation what I mean by "SS" :v
LyraTheLycan
Vader's empire was modelled on the Nazis, he's literally Space Hitler. All the greatest villains had the best colour scheme
OnePieceRoboFranky
Does he plant "reporters" in the crowd which he then calls on for easy questions he can answer ?
HodgeNPodge
Most likely. If he kicks people out for asking questions that he feels makes him look bad, I wouldn't doubt it.
DonaldTrumpsFlaccidHairpiece
Yeah, its called OANN "reporter" lol
ExogenousDataStructure
No. But there are a number of alt-right media orgs that he can call in that will give him silly, fluff questions. He calls on them often.
idownvoteyouall
Wouldnt be suprising
LavaAxe
No need to plant anyone, right wing reporters are always there
AimlessSavant
He doesn't so much as plant them, as he deliberately only asks questions from those news syndicates who already support him.

He was told his dinner has in fact been poo for last two years

A GOP spokesperson finding out that you don't have to swear an oath on the Bible.
LyraTheLycan
LOL
KitchenClean
Thank you
DaSuccster
I've forgotten all names but I believe blinky here believed you were supposed to swear on a bible when becoming president. 1/2
Cilvaa
"blinky" love it!
DaSuccster
2/2 Reporter Man said you didn't have to and that turned him into a Deer in deadlights. Like I said, I 'think' that's what this was about.
KitchenClean
Thank you
Machsattack
So did Roy Moore actually get elected?
Cilvaa
Nah, he lost to the Dem by 1.6%
PervHunter
Very stupid man trying to push a racist narritive about religion. Didn't know you don't have to swear on a Bible to take the oath of office.
KitchenClean
Thank you
OverMyDadBody
General question: do you HAVE TO swear on the bible in ANY situation, even if one is an atheist? (I'm not American)
MDtheGM
Technically no, but some places still have religious qualifications and such in local law.
LyraTheLycan
Yeah, I bet some state courts still require the Bible for the oath of truth. America is an insanely religious country (In God We Trust?)
PervHunter
No. You can literally choose any book, or even just hold up your hand. I think a VP once swore in on a copy of the constitution.
GradyG
I don’t mean to be lazy. But does anybody have an unedited clip I can use to share with others?
PhDisKillingMe
Is this how this went down?
METROlD
Yes. I was watching it live
discorage
Can confirm. Was watching it live.
FurtiveGlancer
Why would you watch it live? Do you like Aneurysms?
LookingForWorkInColorado
I watch to believe. If I didn't see it with my own eyes, I wouldn't believe somebody so unsuitable could become president. Wow.
FurtiveGlancer
I'm now desensitized and will wait for a revolution/coup or November, whichever comes earlier...
arkadun
When was this? Is this new?
discorage
His presser from Thursday night.
halcyonsky
Yep. I think it was NY Times or Wash Post just updated their numbers and he recently surpassed 20,000 documented and verified lies.
turmosoritilaatio
The funny thing is, sometimes his lies make him look worse than the actual truth would.
removekarling
Usually not... Unless you mean like "Maybe we should try injecting disinfectant" lmao, but he might not have known he was wrong there...
koflach
Wow, it must have been a slow day if he only said 20k lies today.
Afterlife666
I mean he is a pathological liar, there is no use of keeping count cause everything that comes out of his mouth is going to be lies.
brekko
Just because the number is astonishingly high doesn't mean we should stop calling out every instance.
SuperSaiyanYamcha
Fake news. The dial in his head never moved.

following that dude on twitter as of now!
AeonQuasars
Last time she is allowed to ask questions I guess.
RobSacamano
Shirish Date is a man.
PhireHandy
And don't call me Shirlish
AeonQuasars
I did not look hard enough
discorage
The next reporter should have pressed him to answer the last reporter. They should all be doing it. And they should tell him they aren't 1/
prosperouscheat
Like those dutch reporters with the US ambassador trump appointed. They wouldn't let him skip
LetMeSeeMyKids
I dunno, he seemed pretty excited about the payroll tax
KleptoKea
I could say this about all the American people as well. He lies pathologically and you all just throw your hands up in the 1/
KleptoKea
air instead of taking him to task. Imagine how trapped and fucked he would be if everyone held him to account for even 10% of his lies.2/2
Asdfjlk
70% wonder how the 30% enable the dismantling of democracy and stay in power, then remember all the shit they have to do this weekend annnnd
KleptoKea
So 70% of Americans don't care enough. Am I getting that right? I mean, it SOUNDS accurate to me. That's kinda why USA is so fucked up.
discorage
Going to put up with his bullshit anymore. Make a pact or some shit.
Aphexius
Blood pact...seal it in the signs of the seven hells.
snowclone180
The president isn't obligated to talk to the press, or hold press functions, Reagan almost never did.
JustAnotherRandomCommenter
but... that would be an improvement. they should stop letting him use them to spew more lies and propoganda.
discorage
No chance of that happening with him. He's like the guy who takes the longest baths in the city.
Ltserb
Are you sure he's not that guy who brags about weird stuff?
Krakencrotch
And he doesn't have to, but he can't be allowed to keep bullshitting the press either.
RufioHasNoBalls
The next reporter should have just said "same question"
wisher1977
Yeah a united front would have been great.
Hero341
I WAS gonna ask about the payroll tax, but now I'd rather hear the answer to that one
INeedMoreGifMeMoreJustOneMore
Sure, sure. He just walked off, or only takes questions from Fox and OAN from then on.
TsubakiTragic
May be some future in that... his audience would be drastically reduced if only Fox and OAN had passes.
bjhallDONE
Spot on. That is exactly my first thought upon viewing the first
ChosenChaos
Then he just chuck a tanty and storm out. Again.
KoalaOnTheJuice
And every question since.
babamulon
the orange cunt will just walk away.
mydamnkidsdontthinkimfunny
He would have just walked away like all the other times
TheFatherMind
Any reported that asks a question will stop being invited. I doubt that guy will be add another presidential briefing again.
HeywouldJablowme
Amen
maststick
Picked a loyal reporter for the next question
spict
And why is the media over there like: "OK, no answer so that must be nothing."
Illinifan88
The press corps is scared to death of him, and it sucks.
poopybuttmcfartface
He would’ve just walked out like the coward he is.
dannne
There's a video where a ambassador tries the Trump tactics in another country but all the reporters ganged on him.
dannne
They refused to let him answer other questions before he answered the first one. xD
WereStillFlying
Then he adjourns. And nobody punishes the president.
KotimainenKayttajanimi
"I'll be in my bunker until these fake reporters go away."
SailorJimmy
As much as I hate the guy and am hardline left; it makes sense to take him to a bunker if the fence is breached. It's him lying about it.
HappyLittleIdiot
"We received reports of a group breaching the fence. Not knowing the identity and intent of the group at the time it was deemed better to ½
HappyLittleIdiot
head to safety until further information became available" would have been ok to say. But instead he lied about it. "Inspecting" the bunker.
shitheadtookmyname
Doesn't matter. No quarter should be given bc giving quarter to this evil clown is bias.
uplookdont
Also he's got enough fucking money already. I ain't giving that twisted douche canoe a quarter
QuackWok
lol
bebopspike13
Reporters have to be careful during these pressers, otherwise they just generate sound bites for the opposition. Vox had a good piece on it.
BarbedWireCatheter
I’d like to read that, but couldnt find it in the 15 seconds that i looked, do you have a link?

I would love if they all collectively sacrifice their precious WH press pool access & just grill that SOB
snekonaplen
And then he leaves answers no questions and revoked press passes and gives them out to more “well behaved” news agencies.
lenomdeplume
He would pay for that. Even less public access.
xoverthirtyx
Then the picture is complete and all doubt removed, and fascism can be written in the US with a capital F.
snekonaplen
Fascists never call themselves fascists. That would be like openly admitting to sabotaging the USPS to suppress votes in an election.
