Would be comical: PRIEBUS denied daily press briefings will be curtailed, just move to bigger place

That is, it would be funny if all the DRUMPF Junta's transparent ploys weren't revealing their despotic wishes and plans.

So PRIEBUS denied to STEPHANOPOULIS that press access to the White House was being planned, specifically about making the press room and cubicles harder to function in, that the only topic being discussed was to move the press section to another building that would be larger, able to accommodate four times the number of reporters at press conferences.

HAH!1 What does *that* mean, that the DRUMPFsters would be refusing to take questions from *MORE* reporters or that way more wingnut stooges would be stocked into the room?!1

So instead of Oprah saying, "You have a car!1 And *you* have a car!1 And *you* have a car!1" the DRUMPFsters at the press briefings will be saying, "I won't give *you* a question!1 And *you* won't get a question!1 And *you* won't get a question!1"

and also the press accommodations (cubicles?) out of the WH. The press corps is antsy about being turned out of the digs, with "the optics being terrible" since the press inside the WH are representatives of the people in The People's house.

Changed press "conferences" to "daily press briefings".
