Jedi Psaki: SIMPLY Badass

[Montauk6]

[wryter2000]

1. Please don't leave Jen

If she embarrasses enough of them often enough, maybe they'll stop asking stupid questions like that.

[Caliman73]

4. I know. That depresses the hell out of me. She can't leave!!

She is so skilled in the way she actually answers the question and calls out the stupidity of the way the questions are posed without doing that stupid, "Fake news" bullshit or straight up lying, like the Trump admin people did.

[USALiberal]

11. Is there talk of her leaving? Nt

[George II]

12. She said she'd leave within a year. LOTS of time to talk her out of it.

[USALiberal]

14. Thanks! Darn, I hope not! Nt

[Delmette2.0]

17. I think that it is good to call out or ridicule each and every one of this kind of reporter.

Their bias is showing, on full display, for the entire world.
Their lack of research is also on full display.
They cannot bait Jen into over reacting or saying the wrong thing.

[moonscape]

21. She's irreplaceable. n/t

[SledDriver]

29. This was my first thought after watching that

She is too good! She can't leave! Please don't leave!

[LuckyLib]

2. She is amazing! Tell it, Jen!

[lame54]

3. Tom Cotton said some stuff and wants money...

House does the Whitehouse feel about this?

[Montauk6]

5. And let's NOT lose sight on this momentous occasion...

You've got a right-wing Conserrrrrrrrrrrrrrvative Republican calling for a TAX HIKE ON THE WEALTHY!!!!! On teaching about racism, of all things.

This hypocrisy ranks right up there with the NRA supporting gun control..... when it came to the Black Panthers.

[PoindexterOglethorpe]

6. It will be a sad day when she leaves.

The absolute best Press Secretary ever.

[Budi]

7. I say we tax churches that indoctrinate youth & parishoners by holding their souls hostage

Tax the Churches.
There's no better example of indoctrination.

[SergeStorms]

39. Bingo!

I was going to post the same thing. Churches that amass billions of dollars, then invest in land, securities etc. should be taxed up the wazoo. The reason churches aren't taxed is so they can do good deeds for the unfortunate, not invest in real estate and securities to amass even more money.

[luvtheGWN]

40. Well of course!

The reason churches exist is for indoctrination. And money, these days.

I watched a documentary on Billy Graham the other night (well, actually, I could only watch about half of it because it made me kinda sick). He started out as a Fuller Brush salesman; had super conservative parents and married a wannabe missionary. Using God (his God) to draw people into these big outdoor tents and scaring them into believing they could be "saved". Then he used his political connections with Presidents to further his evangelical ministry and basically introduced the religious/political industry that, today, has gotten totally out of hand.

[Faux pas]

8. Lol

Love her, she's got a huge pair of ovaries

[Snackshack]

9. She is just....

A once in a lifetime Press Secretary.

[WA-03 Democrat]

23. I agree

When someone makes something that is very difficult and makes it look not only effortless but easy. I call that a gift and it is very special to watch it in motion at the highest level.

[monkeyman1]

10. politics & religion are like -water & oil , they don't mix .

[IbogaProject]

13. Great look the way she finishes

Great look the way she finishes, she sort of licks her lips like she could take another bite out of his weak arguments.

[Volaris]

15. Master Yoda-level.

[Deuxcents]

16. I wish we could clone her

However..this is a most demanding job answering ridiculous questions with grace n no BS. I love her. I am of the opinion Biden has chosen quite a few qualified people for his adm. she’s on fire!

[peggysue2]

18. Boom!

Eat that Senator Cotton. LOL.

Psaki is definitely a badass. Never yells, never is ruffled. Just tell it like it is.

[bahboo]

19. dayum.....

[greenjar_01]

20. There are lots of ways that we can fund apprenticeship and trades

that don't involve culture war nonsense of the Cotton variety.

I think Biden should come out strongly for funding of apprenticeship and trades (he already has) with specific set asides, etc. Yes, by all means. Why do they need to talk about "critical race theory" (whatever they think that is) to do so? Because it's just another dumb cultural wedge where they try to set people who would benefit from trades training against college students, and particularly black college students and other students of color. The weirdest part about it is that Cotton could absolutely get more money for trades and apprenticeship if he wasn't playing some dumb game. Why does he have to get it from Harvard rather than Caterpillar and Goldman? Because he's a liar and a racist shitheel, that's why.

(PS: Harvard should pay money on their clownishly large endowment to fund community colleges and small rural colleges).

[LanternWaste]

22. After the past four years, I'm still not used to hearing professionalism from that position.

I had zero idea who Psaki was prior to Pres. Biden appointing her and have been pleasantly-- no, jubilantly surprised by the perfect intersection of her professionalism, candor, breadth of relevant knowledge and her carefully crafted left-handed compliments targeting the opposition.

[Stinky The Clown]

24. Badass and smooooooooth. She is amazing in her role..

[yourmovemonkey]

25. That was epic!

[JohnnyRingo]

26. She's pretty smooth.

He tried to get away with "some people are saying...", but she was right on it.

[spanone]

27. She's smarter than all those assholes combined

[MNdemJedi]

28. is there any day that is not made better by watching Jen Psaki at the podium?

I don't believe so. Perhaps we could do a million-person petition to ask her to stay longer than a year.

[UTUSN]

30. K&R

[RussellCattle]

31. The only thing better than watching Jen Psaki and thinking that she is ten times smarter.....

.....than Kayleigh McEnany, is watching Joe Biden and thinking that he's ten times smarter than the former guy.

[bucolic_frolic]

32. She rewrote the public relations book

She is there to defuse and normalize the ideological drift of the country and drag it back to the center, sanity, and common sense.

What skills! And a marvelous, marvelous, marvelous choice as WH Press Secretary. The position will never be the same after her tenure, and I mean that in the very best way possible.

I would bet she didn't just cook her techniques, they were working on strategy for many, many months.

[Takket]

33. psaki bomb!

[Pompoy]

34. She is irreplaceable, I agree, but family comes first n/t

[Probatim]

35. There has to be video of her high-fiving her colleagues after these exchanges.

"You fucked 'em up Jen!'

"Dog-damned right I did!"

[Blue Owl]

36. K&R for Jen

[NNadir]

37. She is, quite clearly the best at confronting stupidity from the media.

The right wing Neonazi racist propaganda news media is totally disarmed in dealing with her.

[Wild blueberry]

38. Utmost respect

Psaki is brilliant.

[LiberalLovinLug]

41. To be fair....those nobs are so easy

But she is brilliant.
I kinda love her passive/aggressive answers to these idiots. Which former D press officers didn't bother with. They just would answer in a short monotone talking point and move on. Thinking that disengagement was the best way. But its far better to engage and leave them and their question in shatters.

[iluvtennis]

42. The ultimate badass woman!

[Warpy]

43. She's showing sad sack journalists the way

When a propagandist makes a sweeping claim in alarmist language, pin him/her down and don't allow him/her to wriggle free. Force them to cite at least one specific thing and then destroy it with facts. Facts always have a liberal bias. Use 'em.

Letting them lie their asses off without comment to "preserve access" hasn't worked, will never work.

[AllyCat]

44. She is so awesome!!
