    Default 'cocooning' of the president

    Top White House aides set up a "wall" to shield President Biden from unscripted events and long interviews amid fears of the president’s testiness and habit of mangling statements, according to a new book.

    "Peril" by Bob Woodward and Robert Costa cited a number of incidents from the gaffe-prone president in the early days of his administration, including a back-and-forth with a CNN reporter for which he later apologized.

    That side of Biden -- his tendency to at times be testy or mangle statements -- was still with him and now part of his presidency," the book says.

    In turn, a number of Biden aides told the reporters that Chief of Staff Ronald Klain and then-White House advisor Anita Dunn worked to prevent such incidents by keeping him away from "unscripted events or long interviews."


    "They called the effect ‘the wall,’ a cocooning of the president," they wrote.

    He has been giving statements nearly every day. Of course Fox gnus is your source. Did Infowars not have the "story".

    Remember when the lefty press would get apoplectic when a very few times Trump would just turn and walk away from a presser? LOL They were screaming obscenities at him
    and demanding he come back to the podium and answer their questions.
    Abortion rights dogma can obscure human reason & harden the human heart so much that the same person who feels
    empathy for animal suffering can lack compassion for unborn children who experience lethal violence and excruciating
    pain in abortion.

    Unborn animals are protected in their nesting places, humans are not. To abort something is to end something
    which has begun. To abort life is to end it.

    it's not "the press"like we used to know it. It's Pravda for Dems

    They should put him in mothballs and stick him in the closet for the good of the country

    Trump was way more accessible because he actually liked mixing it up with the news fakers. People would tune into just to watch the next round of Trump vs Acosta. Note that their ratings tanked now that the Mean Tweeter is gone.
    Coup has started. First of many steps. Impeachment will follow ultimately~WB attorney Mark Zaid, January 2017

    Yup. We've gone from the Mean Tweeter to the Grim Reaper.

    His handlers (Obama et al) don't even want him communicating with the border..............




    Biden Administration Has Stopped Responding To Del Rio Officials Amidst Border Invasion
    September 18, 2021

    Bianca Gracia of Latinos for Trump tells Steve Bannon about the “Del Rio Disaster.”

    “Our Hispanic communities obviously are suffering. … I said this months ago that we are being invaded on the southern border. … Yesterday, the Del Rio mayor had to take matters into his own hand. … He closed the checkpoint… HSI reopened it … The mayor in Del Rio has said the Biden administration has stopped communicating with them… I told you a month ago, the Border Patrol’s last message to me was we have lost all control of the border.”

    _________________________

    The mayor of Del Rio, Texas, has closed the international U.S.–Mexico bridge after thousands of illegal immigrants arrived in the area and set up camps underneath and around the bridge.

    Del Rio Mayor Bruno Lozano, a Democrat, declared a local state of disaster and said his city is closing toll booths on the international bridge to the Mexican city of Ciudad Acuna to halt traffic, while adding that he has requested state assistance to deal with the burgeoning crisis. City officials, he said, are expecting about 8,000 more illegal aliens to arrive in the area in the coming days.

    “Dire circumstances require dire responses,” Lozano said during a news conference, saying that such measures are done as a security precaution.
