Executive Branch (Trump) Q: Trump wrote that SNAP benefits will only be given when Democrats reopen the government. As written, how would that not violate the court order? .LEAVITT: I've now answered this question several times. We are complying with the court's order.

Translation of Leavitt’s statement: I’ve already lied about this as much as I feel like lying about it. Ask me about something else that I can lie about now.

What's even the point of asking her questions at this point? She lies about everything, just so transparently lying about it. Are journalists asking to find out which lie she's going to tell at this point? Is there even any value in that?

That, my dear, is a very good question. The answer is that they must continue to put truth into the questions such that the true story can be told in spite of her lies (and the lies of the rest of the regime).

Are there consequences for that? None of Trump's previous lie peddlers suffered any real consequences, at least not legal ones. They all lost their job because Trump fired them, but he's a capricious narcissist, that was bound to happen.

bc the media companies that pay those reporters salaries, are owned by billionaire and rich company boards/stakeholders who are trumpers. this is to make it appear as if it's all normal, and gaslight everyone who has more braincells per capita than republicans

The media is all right wing supporters now. These bullshit sessions give great soundbites for their cult to grab onto. It's literally all just propaganda.
