That would include Irish illegals presumably

In fairness things like the above don't help "the media" cause as Spicer has come out and said it is 100% false and the National Guard have said the same!

I await the outrage from the "Obama's going to declare martial law" crowd with great interest.

FWIW, Republicans on the Hill were panicked behind the scenes by Trump's performance today.

I think the GOP is playing the long game. They cant be seen to push Trump until he loses his fan base or it will bite them in the mid-terms. They are hoping to get some of their big ticket items through (repeal of Obamacare, light touch financial and environmental regulations) before he does too much damage.

The GOP didn't expect to win the election and is divided into at least 3 tribes so I don't think it is very coherent.

Some conservative nutjobs were going on about Obama "coming to get our guns," "going to impose communism" and "going to declare martial law" during his presidency.

SNL don't need to work on any sketches this week. They can just rerun the press conference.

Bullshit.

Sure, but this is the exact same attitude by most media forms as there was during the Republican Primaries and the Election.
The Irish media are still giving Trump the same credit as prior to the election.
They were all wrong then, yet they are doing the same thing.
Fighting Trump on his ground doesn't work. If everyone treats him like a Paris Hilton type buffoon he'll mop the floor with ye. SNL are only feeding the beast.
A big problem is that most media outlets want the type of coverage Trump provides despite it's counter effect. It's like an addiction, you can't get enough of the thing that's killing you.
Trump should e treated as the PoUSA, a politician in the traditional sense. That's a battle I think he doesn't have the heart for.

Bullshit.

What exactly is bullshit? The memo? The fact it was considered? The chance of it ever happening.
