Tuesday's Psaki Bomb



Tweet text:
Aaron Rupar
@atrupar
PETER DOOCY: Is the WH concerned MLB is moving their All Star Game to Colorado, where voting rules are very similar to Georgia?

PSAKI: Let me refute that. CO has same-day registration, universal mail voting... it's important to remember the context. The GA bill is built on a lie

Narrator (Arrested Development). : it wasn’t.

As I posted yesterday, talk radio is trying to save pour wittle Douchey

https://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=15305982


A spliced together clip of Douchey asking two unrelated questions, a Psaki question lije she didn’t understand, then another Q and actual A.
Apparently they felt the need to boost Douchey Jr. up. The local host set up and followed up telling the listeners how Douchey was a real journalist and she was out of her league. The audio didn’t support that at all but that doesn’t matter to them.

One of these days these nitwits are going to get tired of watching their weak question swatted four rows deep into the courtside seats. But until then, Psaki appears to be enjoying herself.

She made an excellent point about the squeaky clean run-off Senate elections in January, and how the Georgia legislation is built on a lie. It's obvious, though, that the media need to be reminded of those basic facts, and Psaki does it patiently and succinctly.

Most of us don't have good mechanisms to deal with this level of stupidity or bullshit - and when someone says something like "I'm not getting that vaccine, it has a microchip" we aren't capable of formulating a reasonable response because our brains can't comprehend that level of stupidity.

Ms. Psaki leans on in, smiles, then knocks the spit out of them.

It's a real joy to watch.

It shouldn't be easier to vote in one state than another. That's just crazy & undemocratic. This is where some standardization on a national level just makes sense.

The current crazy quilt of election regulations disenfranchises many and makes absolutely no sense to me, especially when it comes to electing a potus.

The idea that all American citizens do not have the same access to the ballot box is deeply offensive to me.

an effective Federal Elections Commission, which should set the rules for FEDERAL elections.

Instead, on Election Day, you have to vote for federal, state and municipal candidates. Set aside a different day for those elections -- you know, like most other countries that have states/provinces/jurisdictions do. Make the first Tuesday in November the day only for Federal elections of President/Senators/Reps.

He was on the Hill I think and then became WH reporter when John Roberts wanted to go back in studio. Clearly a legacy hire.

but when admins change a lot of time it’s time to make changes and move people around. Roberts was probably done with standing outside in all kinds of weather on “Pebble Beach”.

Jim Acosta is going into the studio too. Kaitlan Collins is now the chief CNN White house correspondent now.

She's not just a breath, but a strong gust of fresh air, especially after McEnamy's lies, pouting, and posturing. As an added bonus, she even looks like a real person. McEnamy always looked like a Sephora store threw up all over her. Fake, fake, fake, outside and in.
