24. The few times I recall press follow-ups was during the 1st MFer Admin, and you're right, they worked. He folded.

But this MFer Admin has learned a thing or 2 and so has MFer.

The MFer Admin and Repuke Congress is stacked top to bottom with seasoned, practiced, conscience-free liars. They THINK in lies.

The WH press gaggle is now saturated with RW Media and "Influencers" who will short-circuit follow-ups.

Worst comes to worst, MFer just insults the reporter (you're a horrible person, you're fake news) or moves on to a question he likes.

So sure, we all wish there was some way to get these fuckers to be honest about facts or intentions, but THEY WILL NOT.

We live in hell.
