Ah, yes, I see I spoke too soon. Welcome to just another day in 2018, which is turning out to be as batshit crazy as 2017.
During a press briefing on Thursday, the White House skipped the entire pretense of Sarah Huckabee Sanders providing the media with useful information.
Instead, it rolled a video of Donald Trump praising companies who gave very public one-time bonuses to employees after the Republican tax bill passed, including Comcast and AT&T (who’s also quietly firing thousands of workers in the weeks ahead). Read more…
