    I always wondered, what would happen if reporters in the White House start making outlandish claims. E.g. what you said and stuff like, can you verify that JD Vance doesn’t fuck couches? Or, is it true that Miller masturbates to Nazi memorabilia? That just seems like the kind of thing that they wouldn’t be able to stand. So, why not just go for it at this point?

      They are disappearing people. Commiting crimes against humanity. That reporter would meet an untimely window in a public way - or be otherwise made an example of what happens when you cross them. Maybe the Saudi treatment.

      The gloves are off and they no longer care about appearing civilized.

      The “reporters” in the WH are mostly maga influencers and propagandists. The real, actual reporters have been shut out.
