Javes posted:Saying "I haven't spoken with the President on that yet" only works for specific period of time so they need to carefully manage when the begin the briefing. Idk I think she'll just keep saying it even if Trump was whispering in her ear. Hint: she's never going to speak with the president about his believes in science.

Like many of the Trump administration's weirder foibles, it's a classic tactic of authoritarians like Putin but implemented as ineptly as possible.

empty whippet box posted:Is the sound not working on the stream for anyone else? We can't hear the reporters talking over each other into their microphones because that's not the audio we're supposed to be getting, which is the podium mic. These people are just giving blurbs for their respective networks before the press conference starts. EDIT: THERE'S SCOOCH or whatever lovely nickname that punchable face dude has.

See how alpha that is? quote:Alpha Male Power Moves No Butt Stuff posted:I don't understand who they're power playing against The press! And if they get agitated because of the delay or decide to discuss media access because of it, well then the Spokesperson gets to look calm and rational in the clip where they chide the reporters for wasting time instead of asking about an important issue. mdemone posted:I believe you will find that it is called "negging".

Bicyclops posted:I don't think anyone believes he is, it's just a funny joke to picture him as a Charlie Brown figure after all of his big flubs and his retreat into the bushes. Every time he got up to the podium, it was like that scene in the West Wing when Josh gives the press briefing. It still depresses me to find out that Josh was modeled after Rahm Emanuel rather than an actual human being.
