    The only direct question that was asked, "..... does the Administration take any accountability for what's happening?"

    No....I see exactly the numbers I quoted above, showing a steady increase in arrivals for months BEFORE Biden took office...

    Well, for one thing, there is roughly a 30K difference from the first month on your list.

    And, that question is total nonsense, obviously.

    The question assumed that there was ANY reason to believe the absolute garbage from Trump.

    And, the obvious answer to that is that there is absolutely no reason to do so.

    Why would you want the executive branch of the USA to simply accept the continuing patern of lies Trump spews??

    Besides, all administrations other than that of Trump have followed the policy of "the buck stops here". Outside of that one administration, this has never been a question.

    I think she should have answered the question rather than sluff it off on Trump.

    He wasn't asked to attend, in fact Biden said he would prefer he did not and why should President Trump attend the inauguration of the man who during his own inauguration was plotting how to get him removed from office?

    Did you hear when asked about when will Biden have a formal press conference she replied he had APPEARED 47 times since inauguration. APPEARED. As if appeared = take random questions from random reporters. As if taking questions at all. Rarely does he take any questions they are just that APPEARANCES and a statement read if he can stumble through it.

    How did she sluff it off on Trump? She said they don't take his counsel on immigration policy. They don't (and shouldn't).

    He probably would have been invited had he acted halfway decent after the election by conceding and congratulating Biden.

    Are you saying Biden was trying to get Trump removed during his (Biden's) or Trump's inauguration? Do you have information on that?

    She asked who was "they" baiting him to bring up Trumps statement and then diverted to him without giving an answer.


    You machinations of what might have happened are not what happened. He was persona non grata and that was made perfectly clear. Had he forced his way in I'm sure you would then be complaining about that.

    Yes, the transcript of the White House meeting where he personal inquired about someone wearing a wire and try to record him and then the Obama/Biden administration FBI and West Wing officials doing everything they could to spy on the campaign and then the transition. Trump had no desire to be there after what Biden and his fellow Dems did to him.

    No, at least not until he's had a couple of months to try and rehearse it or maybe he will declare that he wants to be like Washington and submit it in writing, someone else's writing that is.

    The reporter was female. She said Trump's statement as "Many Americans..." and only said his name after Psaki asked who she was talking about.

    You have no right to speak for me. I never said he should have forced his way in. That's asinine.

    Where is the evidence of this?

    Yea I know and didn't state what sex and Psaki diverted it to Trump and did not answer. You are not aware of the WH meeting concerning the 25th amendment and Trump? Do you know at all about how the FBI and WH and Clinton campaign schemed to prevent him from becoming President or saying it didn't happen.

    You used the pronoun "he" which clearly is masculine.
    She didn't divert. She said they don't take Trump's counsel on immigration policy.
    I am aware that, like the alleged election fraud, Trump has claimed that his campaign was spied on.

    Does this means in your thinking that she did answer the question, which was the question? She did not, and thanks for your agreement.

    The direct question was nonsense, as the administration is where the buck stops. The administration really doesn't get to say "not my fault".

    The implied question is actually important - when Trump makes false statements about immigration, is this administration supposed to pretend they are real?

    How is asking about increasing illegal border crossing surges and Bidens plan to stop them nonsense?

    Biden should have had a plan before he took office like Trump did. Biden does not even know what he is doing.

    Why did the left elect someone as old, senile and useless as Biden? Even his secretaries are useless since they can't even answer direct questions.

    Even if true Biden has no plan to deal with it. He had no plan before taking office and no plan now. Kamala probably supports the illegals crossing our border. More voters for Democrats.

    It will be even worse since Biden ended construction of the wall and is decriminalizing our borders.

    It's obvious why Biden and his staff won't answer the question. It's because they are part of the problem.

    We only know when they rise when the people crossing aka breaking our laws get caught.

    Obama sued the AZ State government for trying to help ice catch and deport these criminals. Obama also gave people with kids a get out of jail free card. Thanks to Obama supporting dreamers more of them could get into America. Druggies and sex traffickers etc.

    As to the question of the former administration...

    Who caught them and sent them back to Mexico?

    TRUMP.

    Who is catching them and releasing them into America?

    BIDEN.

    Here is a truth bomb for you. 1,000-4,000 illegals are crossing our border everyday.

    Even the media admits that Biden rolled back policies that were working and thus thelped Trump abate the crisis we now have because of useless Biden.

    Yes it is a CRISIS that Biden has no plan for.

    She chose not to address the surge of crossings on the border which has become a crisis.

    This has nothing to do with Trump anymore. Biden and Harris are running the show and they need to say exactly how they plan to deal with this issue.

    They won't because they are scared to talk to reporters.

    Biden can barely talk for 5 minutes so how can he be expected to talk for a entire hour? It would be embarressing for Biden but entertaining for me.

    As if Biden is not an embarrassment?

    Trump treated people how they treated him. You get what you give.
