Just watched a press briefing by the blonde wonder.

As I watched this briefing, she got to the point for questions. I know she has a big binder with her but does anyone else notice that when someone asks a question she goes right to the binder and like magic the answer to the question is there. Does she know ahead of time what questions will be asked and if not how do the answers seem to appear in the binder she looks through until she finds the answer?

She can give an answer that blames Fauci for a question about Russia, for instance, so she turns to the Russia section to grab one of those bullshit answers.

They may also have some general topics covered. They also have talking points that have nothing to do with anything but that they want to get out and/or is all the rage in cult media.

that says nothing, but burns the clock for ten, fifteen seconds while she searches for her magic tab. And I understand she has the hot button issues marked in red. Sad thing is, her practiced response prater, on one level, sounds more realistic then her stilted answers to the actual questions.

I've temporarily forgotten her name, but I will bring it back here.

And so we can assume that everything fed to the president is going through an ideological filter.

I don't remind the last time we learned anything new from a Whitehouse Press Briefing.

It's a game of gotcha that goes back decades.
