The White House press secretary serves as the mouthpiece for the White House. Every little thing he says during a press conference is recorded, with hundreds of hungry political reporters waiting to lift a piece of a quote to use in a story.

They just enforce the laws they feel like enforcing, pass EOs whenever they want people to obey them, and choose when to respond or react to public accountability when they decide we are to be graced by their presence, then we are expected to endure their commands to think the way they think, while anything different isn’t diversity, but criminal to their edicts.

Sounds like some of the responses I get right here...

Diversion and evasion are tools of deceit.
