NEW: In his continued defense of a DOJ lawsuit to block Alaska's Senate election results should a Democrat win, AG Blanche blamed the state's ranked choice voting system for causing confusion.

I have little sympathy for the White House Press Corp. They allow him to get away with shit like this. They sane-wash every statement. They accept his moronic framing of every situation.

"...
“Wait, wait, wait, slow down. Who are you with? Who are you with?” Trump said.
“I’m with NBC, sir,” the reporter replied.

“Quiet,” the president snapped. “Isn’t she a fresh person? You’re a horrible little reporter, aren’t you? If my mother said bad things about me, you think the Democrats would put it up? I think so. But my mother thought I was wonderful!”
..."
Donnie "wonderful"? Either Donnie's lying or his mom lied to Donnie. Likely both:
"...
Donald would be allowed to leave those grounds overnight only for major holidays and summers.
His parents, Fred and Mary, made frequent trips north on weekends to take him off campus for a meal.
During one visit, Mary cornered the mother of another student in his grade, George Michael Witek, who had easily transitioned to the academy from a strict Catholic school in Massachusetts.
Donald’s mother seemed distraught and begged Mrs. Witek for a magic solution to make her insolent son listen, Witek later told Foreign Policy magazine.
