When she goes out of maternity leave, can we hire the North Korean news lady to get some truth?

Why does the press continue to even ASK Karoline Leavitt any questions? She is incapable of telling the truth. EVERY EFFING THING that comes out of her mouth is a total lie. What's the point?

The Strait of Hormuz is, like Schödinger's cat, both open and closed.

I don’t care if Leavitt is insulted. Quite frankly she is insulting to anyone with decency and integrity. Actually, the whole Regime is an insult to humanity.

For the first time in my life, I'm ashamed of my country. Why people in Washington are allowing this demented, evil human to continue wreaking havoc on the world is beyond comprehension to any rational person.

I don't understand why the WH Press Corps doesn't act as a TEAM in that room. You're not going to scoop each other -- you're all in the same room at the same time. When she lies, obfuscates, or attacks a particular reporter, why doesn't the next one follow up with the same question?

From a European perspective, the US ceased to be aware of ANY international agreements with which they disagreed when this administration came in. Nothing has changed there - why would you expect them to be aware of international shipping agreements? France this week withdrew all their gold reserves from American banks, and Germany and Italy are intending to do the same. Are you aware of any reasons that European countries would trust America with ANYTHING in light of the current administration? No, me neither.
