Does the so-called “spokesperson for the White House” realize that Trump promised to end this war on “day one”?
That is a non sequitur given in response to a serious question.

You are correct.

She shoulda posted that after Budapest, Trump is holding a meeting of 44 nations at the Mt. Washington Hotel in Bretton Woods NH to announce dissolution of the IMF and the return to the Gold Standard…
Can’t do that, champ. The Germans would be offended by the choice of Bretton Woods. You have to pick up your victimization game.

Do you really want the answer to the question?
Because I don’t know. The person who asked it would have to ask the journalist. It was a stupid question to ask me. And my response, although a non sequitur, should be met with praise like the press secretary’s response was. Right?

No. I’m not a Biden fan. I did not vote for him. You’re barking up the wrong tree.

Sure, sure.
Let’s talk about echo chamber.

I'd prefer a White House comms outfit that didn't behave like 12yos. That's just me though, I guess.

Why treat fake journos as real ones? That might be my only issue.

First, I don’t have a strong opinion on the Press Secretary’s answer. I do approved of the Trump-inspired tendency to treat the MSM as propagandists. So I’m glad she cut him down.
Second, You gave a non-sequitur answer to a serious question. She gave a flippant non-sequitur answer to a non-serious question. There is a difference.
I would have preferred that she gave a more thoughtful denunciation of the question, but that’s easy to Monday morning QB. She could have pointed out that this is an example of the fruit loop left being offended by everything from white people to cotton balls.

I said it was a stupid question “to ask me“. How would I know what the journalist was or was not aware of?

I guess this is where I disagree. The historical context of this location w/r/t Russo-Ukrainian relations is interesting. The question should have been dealt with in a professional manner and still arrive at the same effect: you let the journalist know you think they're asking a dumb question implicitly but explicitly you provide a sufficient answer for whatever they release to the public. The fact that this press secretary does not seem to know how to do that really shows her [lack of] age.

He didn’t ask you. It was clearly a rhetorical question. I object to the tendency of bad writers to cloak ordinary thoughts in questions loaded with other trappings, but alas, that is the state of things.
So instead of a poster writing, “Budapest is derived from Buddha being an aggravation”, they will write, “Does the reporter know that Budapest…”

It was a nonsense rhetorical question that deserved a nonsense rhetorical response.
Press secretary did not like the question asked of her. She does not like most of the media. She gave a middle school response. Echo chamber applauds her.

You are slightly restating what I already wrote.
It gives a strange feeling because it feels argumentative, so it triggers my fight response, but I have nothing really to fight against.
A business mentor of mine worked with me at a large company that had a Director who had a bit of a personality cult. Whenever a coworker was arguing with my friend, and would invoke that Director by name, my friend would respond, “He’s not afraid of me.” It would often stop them in their tracks, because they could not come up with words to disagree but they had a powerful urge to do just that.
