An unknown someone claims there is 1 billion more in expenditures than the bill touts.
Typical Republican BS. I'll believe it when a known someone unequivocally demonstrates that claim to be true.
And, I'm pretty sure that won't happen.

Golly, why won't the Biden administration rise to the bait, and refudiate sketchy descriptions of third-hand rumors of possibly secret memos that someguy says shows the infrastructure bill will cost more?

It's so unfair!!

“We laid out very specifically each component of the package and how much we’re proposing so I’d encourage you all to get your calculators out and charge them up and see how that compares to the secret memo.”

I love it.

She clearly knew if this secret memo and called on him. They must read through the RW media and are aware what the big stories are there.

You can tell the professionals are in charge and I’m sure you are right there that they figure out what’s coming.

Still she seems to take satisfaction from getting fools to confess and go stand in the corner. Remember last week or so with that Doocey reporter whining about not being able to ask a question. “Did the president answer your question? Yes. Do I answer your questions? Yes. Nice socks let’s get to a serious question. “

All so professional and courteous and right that taking it badly would make you look bad. I really like her style.

A spliced together clip of Douchey asking two unrelated questions, a Psaki question lije she didn’t understand, then another Q and actual A.
Apparently they felt the need to boost Douchey Jr. up. The local host set up and followed up telling the listeners how Douchey was a real journalist and she was out of her league. The audio didn’t support that at all but that doesn’t matter to them.

She's on DOUBLE SECRET PROBATION for not revealing the truth about the 'secret memo' that nobody knows about!

I wish I had what she has in her little pinkie. And I love seeing this gesture caught in the freeze frame. too cool for words.

not in manner but in other ways, Psaki reminds me of the character, Beth Harmon in the Queen's Gambit.
