One of my favorite quotes is the famous one by President Buchanan
As Buchanan rode in a carriage with Abraham Lincoln to Lincoln's inauguration, Buchanan is said to have remarked, “My dear sir, if you are as happy in entering the White House as I shall feel on returning to Wheatland, you are a happy man indeed.”
Biden gives off that energy 100%
it's a full time job for 1 person
I think Biden was the first to have a whole rainbow squad of press secs that would rotate
I do think it's normal to rotate a press sec after ~1 year
because it's an absurdly demanding position
If Trump wanted to throw Alex Jones a bone, he could invite him in to give transition briefings for the next 2 months
much lower commitment, and wouldn't require him to get in deep with the actual press team
imo, revamping the whole press briefing process would be warrented
it's a relic of a different time, and gives a LOT of influence to tenured legacy media
when it originally was supposed to be a vector to ask the president questions, via a proxy
and get updates on policy intentions
Leg, I'm FULLY on-board with a federal channel to that effect
but I think thats too big an undertaking realistically
If Trump still had one of this TrumpTV/TrumpNetwork friends he wanted to task with doing that
it would be amazing
but it's just way too big of a side task imo
Replying to legorhin #jazardly did women go Trump overall or was it just suburban white women?
This is from CNN's exit polling data, which was conducted by Edison Research on behalf of the National Election Pool

So Women overall still voted democrat, but the margin closed significantly due to kamala being incredibly unpopular
the worm inside RFK ate them all
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 and Trump will probably throw them that bone
the new Rogan episode actually touches on Snowden
The 20 million votes went to low turnout driven by unlikeable candidate (Harris) and people not being as mad about trump (4 years removed from him being in office) so it did not drive vote totals up
trump had lower turnout too, but was less affected because two assassination attempts is pretty good for galvanizing your base to go vote
