the right wing dip shit was gonna say. That sack of lug nuts had to read his question and all Jen did was glance @ her notes, then cut off the guy's balls, and then left the podium with a "thank you and a good bye."
I would not want to be her kid and try to get out of something.

(2,563 posts)Over the years, I have dealt with many redheads: they're my favorite species of human. I even married one.
That casual looking hair brush is actually when they lock and load their Redhead Superpower.
Devastation is then imminent.
And high entertainment!
Botany
(70,483 posts)... she almost has a "Oh no you didn't go there" look on her face. And then she drops the hammer.

I hope she will stay on through the mid terms, at least.

(32,614 posts)That's something that Chump will never know, neither will most of his former staffers. Jen Psaki is eloquent, quick, and ready with a good answer to almost ANY question. Most of the time she's polite, even when the WH press aren't. It will be a cold day in hell before they catch her off guard.

(7,273 posts)She has literally blown me away on so many levels, but of course not least in which her professionalism and ialong with her communication style displays a vault of skills and intellect. If I could easily access her briefings every day, I would.
In this clip particularly knocks it out of the park like no other ever.

Fox & Frauds: Given that Rip van Winkle slept for twenty years straight, isnt President Biden spending too much time and money on sleep apnea research?
Jen Psakis conceivable response: If you have any solid evidence that either of your stupid statements has a grain of truth to them, Id be happy to engage you. You dont. Next?

- 100 Notable Alumni, College of William and Mary -
~ NOTED ALUMNI, Select: Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, John Marshall, Glenn Close, Christina Roemer, Jon Stewart, Mike Tomlin, Linda Lavin, JEN PSAKI..https://edurank.org/uni/college-of-william-and-mary/alumni/
- The College of William and Mary is a public research university in Williamsburg, Virginia. Founded in 1693 by letters patent issued by King William III and Queen Mary, it is the 2nd-oldest institution of higher education in the United States and the 9th-oldest in the English-speaking world. W&M educated presidents Thomas Jefferson, James Monroe, John Tyler and other key figures pivotal to the development of the US:
1st President of the Continental Congress Peyton Randolph, 1st U.S. Attorney Gen. Edmund Randolph, 4th U.S. Supreme Court Chief Justice John Marshall, Speaker of the House of Reps. Henry Clay, Commanding Gen. of the U.S. Army Winfield Scott, 16 Continental Congress members, 4 signers of the Declaration of Independence. This earned it the nickname "the Alma Mater of the Nation". In 1749 George Washington received his surveyor's license at W&M; in 1788 he became the college's 1st American chancellor..https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_of_William_%26_Mary
- Jen Psaki graduated from William and Mary with a double major in English and sociology. In addition to being a member of the swim team and Chi Omega sorority, she served as a campus tour guide and admission intern during her time at the university. In a 2015 article from The Flat Hat, Psaki said that she was grateful for W&s liberal arts approach to education. - I think its served me professionally in many ways, including the fact that it enabled me to develop strong writing skills, spend time really learning how to communicate effectively, but also personally, because I have an incredible support system of friends who are like family at this point in my life. -
Psaki worked with several members of the U.S. Senate before joining Barack Obamas 2008 presidential campaign. When he took office, she was named as deputy press secretary and later deputy communications director. After working for a public relations firm, she returned to the White House in 2012 as press secretary for Obamas 2012 campaign. The next year, Psaki took the role as spokesperson for the U.S. Department of State.. https://www.wm.edu/news/stories/2020/wm-alumna-named-white-house-press-secretary.php
- Thomas Jefferson, 1743-1826, American statesman, diplomat, lawyer, architect, musician, philosopher, and Founding Father who served as the 3rd president of the US, 1801- 1809. He had previously served as the 2nd vice president of the US under John Adams, 1797- 1801, and as the 1st US secretary of state under George Washington, 1790- 1793.
The principal author of the Declaration of Independence, Jefferson was a proponent of democracy, republicanism, and individual rights, motivating American colonists to break from the Kingdom of Great Britain and form a new nation; he produced formative documents and decisions at both the state and national levels.
- Glenn Close, 1947 - American actress. "Long considered one of the great actresses of our time", she is the recipient of numerous accolades, including 3 Primetime Emmy Awards, 3 Tony Awards, and 3 Golden Globe Awards. She has also been nominated 8 times for an Academy Award, holding the record for the most nominations in an acting category without a win (tied with Peter O'Toole). With her 8th nomination in 2021, she became one of the 5 most-nominated actresses in Academy history. In 2016, she was inducted into the American Theater Hall of Fame, and in 2019, Time magazine named her one of the 100 most influential people in the world.
- John Marshall, 1758-1831, American statesman, lawyer, diplomat and Founding Father who served as the 5th president of the US, 1817- 1825. A member of the Democratic-Republican Party, Monroe was the last president of the Virginia dynasty; his presidency coincided with the Era of Good Feelings. He is perhaps best known for issuing the Monroe Doctrine, a policy of opposing European colonialism in the Americas. He also served as the governor of Virginia, a member of the US Senate, US ambassador to France and Britain, 7th Secretary of State, and 8th Secretary of War.
- Jon Stewart, 1962- Studied in 1984, an American comedian, writer, producer, director, political commentator, actor, and television host. He hosted The Daily Show, a satirical news program on Comedy Central, from 1999 to 2015.
