The new normal for your nit wit president: Sit down, shut up, no questions

They disabled the public chat function which is a free for all text chat. Instead they use the “raise hand” feature where people are called on to ask questions. Not sure the last time there was a press conference where people just called out questions at random throughout the talk rather than being called on individually during the question period.

Crazy authoritarian stuff right there.

I love the written questions though and actually think they make things easier for the presenter

I think they’d be criticized no matter what. If they had public chat open between everyone, it would be a mess and people would complain that their questions were being seen and purposefully ignored. If they made chat private between the Biden team/presenter and the individual reporters, people would complain they were cherry-picking questions. At least with hands up it appears to be a traditional question and answer session in which neither the question nor reporter is known ahead of time.

Seems like much ado about nothing.

Have you ever used any videoconferencing for work with more than a few people? Do you understand what this story is about?

This isn’t as nefarious as you would like to believe.

He is still taking very few questions. And only from supporters. That’s the simple truth.
Do you expect that to change?

Are you testing me?..Again? Give it a rest. You’re getting boring.

Sure. If you think that a Present elect avoiding any serious questions since his election is much ado about nothing. Do you expect him to start taking questions from non supporters any time soon?

He ain’t going nowhere.

I sincerely hope he tries to stay in the WH while Biden is being inaugurated. It would be fun to watch Biden take the oath of office with side by side footage of Trump being summarily escorted out of the WH.

You like the idea do you??

I think you got the first part right at least.

4 more years!

That’s as lame as the Trump/Russia collusion fantasy that y’all held on to for years.

Serious question. It doesn’t sound like you’re getting what’s going on. It’s like truly nothing if you’re familiar with Zoom , which is why I am asking.

They don’t make it easier if everyone gets to see all the questions that are asked and which ones are repeatedly ignored.

Serious question.

Serious for you. Boring for me. I will never take any type of test offered by you. Not gonna happen. It doesn’t sound like you’re comprehending this. In other words you don’t seem to know what’s going on.

That’s a long way to say “nope never used it” but whatever. Makes the outrage more fun

No problem. If you don’t want me to ask your opinion I will not. But that is kinda what this forum is about. Right? But if it were a test you would have failed for not knowing the difference between a technology knowledge check and a political opinion. Don’t be such a goofball.

It’s going to be fun watching you© shed vapors over every tiny detail for the next few years.

Which is why I’m invited to parties. I’m fun!

Yes, that would be a good reason for taking the chat down. Then everyone could see what was being asked and what was being ignored as opposed to picking people they know weren’t going to rock the boat with a question they didn’t want to answer.

There are question that have remained unanswered for months. We wouldn’t want one of them to accidently pop up That would be scary.

He might have to have President elect Harris handle it if it did.
