In order to counter the sorry state of press briefings coming from the #DonaldTrump administration, the White House has decided press briefings can no longer be recorded via audio or video and no questions will be answered.

What a sorry state of affairs. The 45th POTUS' way of running things seems similar to how banana republics used to be run... sad.

So, Minnesota would rather people not be able to advance themselves without the officiating organization paying a fee, first? Do libraries have to pay a fee to lend books?
