CNN Reboots Old Trump-Era Classic: MUH NORMS #Political
The shock of the scope and magnitude of President Elect Donald Trump’s victory have not yet worn off among the Regime Media. They’ve not yet completed their transition back to Resistance Media. But there are indeed signs that the transition is underway.
Watch as Alayna Treene of CNN uncorks an old favorite while discussing Trump’s call for recess appointments:

ALAYNA TREENE: (President Elect Donald Trump) said, quote: “Republican senators seeking the coveted leadership position in the United States Senate must agree to recess appointments in the Senate, without which, we will not be able to get people confirmed in a timely manner.” The post goes on to describe other things. But I want to explain why this is so important. Essentially, Donald Trump is calling for the shattering of norms. Now what this means, a recess appointment, I know this sounds like we're getting in the weeds a bit with the Hill lingo. But recesses are normally avoided in congress. Normally, when they actually go on break, they do something called a pro forma session. Part of that is because if you go to a recess, you actually have to have a vote in the House and the Senate, and Democrats in this case, giving Republicans control of the Senate come next year, would be able to filibuster. But essentially, to get down to it, to really boil down to what this would mean is that Donald Trump is trying to find a way, and use whoever the next Senate leader- Republican leader is, to try and avoid the confirmation process for his top Cabinet officials. And I remind you, a lot of times when different presidential candidates or people are looking to make these hires, and to appoint different people to these different Cabinet roles, a key thing that is always at the top of their minds is whether or not this person can get confirmed in the Senate if they have a controversial background, if they are more conservative, in this case, if they were Democrats they’d be maybe too liberal. But really, the Senate is kind of the last line of defense of who the president could put into office with him. And so this would be a huge change. And I will also argue that really this process that Congress has now about avoiding recess appointments in their entirety started back with George W. Bush and has continued since then under the different presidents with Obama and Trump and now Biden. And so, this again would be a HUGE BREAK from the norms that we currently have. Fred.
FREDRICKA WHITFIELD: And again, bucking norms.
There is a vast number of stories that were reported over the past quadrennium which could have warranted “norm-shattering” coverage by the media. Some underreported, barely reported, or outright suppressed.
Whether it’s the weaponization of state and federal governments against Trump, the suppression of President Joe Biden’s physical and mental decline, the government’s cooking of all sorts of data (whether jobs, crime or illegal alien encounters: all of these stories qualify as “norm-shattering”.
The Biden administration shattered many norms, but we just didn’t hear about it in those terms. No sooner a just-reelected Trump talks about staffing his administration via recess appointments, and the media go nuts.
I expect that in the coming days, the media will revert to most, if not all of their hyperbolic practices that they put into place while covering the first Trump Administration. To “norms”, if you will.
