Quote:The pee-in-a-cup proposal (yellow journalism indeed) was one of 13 ideas one candidate for White House press secretary wrote in November in a confidential memo to members of the Presidential Transition Team’s Executive Committee.

............................................

Sean Spicer, who was spokesman for the Republican National Committee, is Trump’s press secretary, and told me, “I support whatever security measures are recommended by the Secret Service.”

“Journalists who are at the White House more than one day per week should be subject to drug screenings to occur no more than twice a year at random times,” the memo states. “Refusal to comply should exclude them from credentialing entirely.”

People in my industry have to do it and we don't have access to the White House or the president?

I wouldn't be surprised if at least a 3rd of them failed.

Unnecessary.

Wont happen.

And stupid.

I'm not a fan of this kind of stuff.

Of course its unnecessary. But this is just to stick a yuuge finger in the eye of a bunch of partisan clowns whose lives are going to be miserable for the net 4 years.

Just a shot across their bow to remind them who's in charge now.

I've had to pee in a cup for half of the job's i've taken in my adult life...

Yep. Power play. Happens all the time, especially in the military.

Hopefully the respective employers drug test. I don't see it as necessary for special test just to be on the WH press corp. Pretty sure they already go through a background check, etc.

I'd settle for IQ and current events and history tests.

Also agree.

The drug test proposal makes a very clever point. But we might as well come right out and say what is actually called for: mandatory dunce caps for those who traded in their journalism credentials these last eight years and instead played presidential lap dog.

At my job I have to have anal probes. If I have to do it then the government should be able to do it to whoever they want!!!
