This is a long statement about border security. Adding some coherency to Trump’s rambling and demands. Zzzz

I’m sure it’s designed to keep them ultra short. Sanders always ends the briefing by saying, “We have to hurry to get to ____” Consistently starting late is unprofessional, but it also guarantees that she can’t take many questions because she has a definite end time in her schedule.

Getting out before his prison sentence starts? Or before the legal costs decimate the joint bank accounts … like Beavis’s wife (or is he Butthead, I am never sure with those two as they both look like a$$holes to me…)

This is entirely by design:

  1. It signals to the gathered press “My time is way more valuable than yours.”

  2. It also serves to remind the press that they are not all that important. They can just sit and wait.

  3. Finally, most importantly, it “runs out the clock” on questions that Hamhock may have to answer.

Plus this Homeland Security Secretary reeks of the same condescending tone and manner as does Steve Mnuchin’s wife. The entire Trump staff has the same haughty attitude. (She must share make-up people with Sanders as they have the same dark, ghoul-like eye shadow and falsh eyelashes)

I think Sartre probably wrote about this at some point…

“How will this military on the border thing actually be implemented?”

“We’re working with the governors.”

“Replacing 150 miles of existing border wall is by definition building new walls! See how it works? Right?”
