AP again seeks end of its White House ban, saying the Trump administration is retaliating further
For a second time, the Associated Press is asking a federal judge to immediately restore its access to presidential events.
Summary
The Associated Press (AP) has again asked a federal judge to lift its ban from White House events, arguing the Trump administration is escalating retaliation over its refusal to adopt Trump's renaming of the Gulf of Mexico.
The AP says the White House has restricted its access further, including barring a photographer from Air Force One’s arrival.
Trump dismissed AP as “radical left lunatics.”
Major news organizations, including Trump-friendly outlets, urged the administration to reverse the ban, calling it a press freedom violation.
A second court hearing is set for March 20.
You're viewing a single thread.
There needs to be term-limits for all elected positions in government.
The idea of the "career-politician" needs to go away.
Sure, in general that would be great, but I don't see how that would solve the current issue. Trump was a complete outsider before running for President.
He was enabled by many of his fellow geriatrics from Congress in the first term.
Eh, the newer members that were elected in his wake are even more sycophantic. It's not like there's any never Trump Republicans that got elected since.
Again, not against the proposal, it would be great to have senators that have used a computer before writing laws in this digital age, but I don't think it would help against this sort of a scenario.
There's more to government than just trump, and trump is already subjected to term-limits.
Is he? He doesn't seem to be subjected to anything else.
I guess we'll see, but I don't think he'll get a 3rd term if the US is still intact.
A pretty big if for how things have been going
