🤥 Lying POTUS 🤥 Lying *Live* About "The Chinese Virus", Pt II

Did he say today he would have Betsy DeVos on Sunday to come and spew and spread her lies and evilness?

I think the biggest entertainment factor to trumps daily updates is the way staffers respond while they do the reports. What I mean by that is the best majority of them give credit to the president for the information they’re about to provide as if he thought of it I by himself. I note the one woman who wasn’t doing the kissing ass thing wasn’t on the last press update.

God, the man is ignorant. Then again I guess we all know that. Who voted for this fool?

R3 Racist white trash voted for Trump.

Yes, DeVos is supposed to be there tomorrow or Monday according to Pence.

Trump and the WH are very nervous

Why did you post that propaganda? To be an example of propaganda? Confused.

I prefer the term "Kung Flu" personally.

OH!

This wouldn't have happened if Hillary Clinton had won

By Max Boot Columnist

March 21, 2020 at 6:35 p.m. EDT

Because of Trump’s negligence, the United States lost two months of response time — precious days that should have been used to test the population, produce more N95 masks and ventilators, and build new hospital beds. This past week, the Pentagon finally announced that a Navy hospital ship would be heading to New York — but it will take at least two weeks to get ready. Why wasn’t the deployment order given sooner? Even now, with the crisis upon us, Trump hesitates to use his full authority to order wartime production of ventilators needed to keep thousands of patients alive.

Utterly lacking in empathy, Trump is incapable of rallying a shell-shocked nation. When asked on Friday, “What do you say to Americans who are watching you right now who are scared?,” Trump launched into a tirade against the reporter who asked the question. Like the snake-oil salesman that he is, his version of reassurance is to tout miracle cures that have not been verified by medical science.

I weep in anger and frustration imagining what might have been if Hillary Clinton — a sane, sensible adult — had won. We couldn’t have avoided the coronavirus, but we could have ameliorated its effects. We could be South Korea (102 deaths) rather than Italy (4,825 deaths and counting).

It was precisely because we were afraid of how Trump would mishandle his weighty responsibilities that some “Never Trump” conservatives supported Clinton in 2016. On May 8, 2016, I wrote in the Los Angeles Times: “There has never been a major party nominee in U.S. history as unqualified for the presidency. The risk of Trump winning, however remote, represents the biggest national security threat that the United States faces today.”

OH!!!

[quote]Some of the people we cut, they haven’t used for many, many years, and if we have ever need them we can get them very, very quickly. And rather than spending the money—I’m a business person. I don’t like having thousands of people around when you don’t need them. When we need them, we can get them back very quickly.”

This asshole actually thinks that if there weren't a current pandemic the CDC all sat around with the thumbs up their ass. So he decimates them and expects to flash the Bat Signal and they will all convene in a moments notice. Anyone who puts their life and the lives of their families in this fool's hands deserve what they get.

We need a "Cuomo Is Speaking" thread since he actually gives useful information.

If the Democrats can't exploit the optics of Trump partying at Mar-a-Lago while the virus swept the nation... then they are finished.

It has to be Trump = Pandemic Fail.

Is Cuomo doing a press briefing today? I believe that Cheatolini is.

LOL!!!!

[quote] If the Democrats can't exploit the optics of Trump partying at Mar-a-Lago while the virus swept the nation... then they are finished.

Cue the concern trolls in 5, . . . 4, . . .3, . . .2, . . .1 . . . .

[quote] Oh, no!! We can’t POSSIBLY politicize the crisis!!! 😱😱😱😱😱

🙄

Cuomo is doing a presser right now, I'm watching on CBSN.

Cuomo is really stressing how Federal Govt should be ordering the supplies (masks, ventilators, etc.) because suppliers/manufacturers are creating a bidding war between States. He presents and backs up his points well.

On the other hand, he believes the test kits should be ordered by the States themselves, again he backs up his points well.

Cuomo is now speaking in hypotheticals, keeps repeating "Assume the Federal Government does nothing..." Cheetolini is gonna be pissed.

Now he is going in on the 2008 corporate bailouts and executives who got bonuses...

Go Andy.

^But, hasn't Jarad Kushner's family opened up private businesses to take advantage of this? There are people who are looking to profit off of all this. That's why nothing is getting done. Too many people looking for greedy opportunities. While Trump definitely can smell a dollar he's not that smart. Others are pushing him in this direction. Trump definitely wants a piece of that hotel bailout. That's why he is pushing it so much.

This is what a Press Conference should be.

Cuomo's request for Army Corps of Engineers and FEMA to build temporary hospitals makes sense.

And we have our first “CHINESE VIRUS,“ at about 1 minute in.

Reading that large print keeping his place with his finger, as always.

THE ECONOMY IS ABOUT TO SKY ROCKET Y'ALL! EVERYONE VERY HAPPY. EVERYTHING'S GOING SO GREAT. TREMENDOUS PEOPLE. PERFECT CONVERSATION.

This is the best thing that happened to the world. You just wait and see. The economy will be like a rocket.

Is Fauci there or has he bailed? He looked pained and uncomfortable at the last one.

Those Navy ships are complicated things.

“285,466 gloves delivered!” Where is he getting these wacko numbers?

These are INCREDIBLE people being sent. Very special.

“Very high-end items being sent.”

Another “Chinese Virus.”

Everything he touches is THE BEST!!!! He only sends the best!!

🙄

Is he going to invoke the Defense Production Act like Cuomo asked him to?

Veterans, you in danger!

“Highest in history!!!!!!”

Pence looks like he has given up all hope.

“Highest VA approval poll numbers in HISTORY.”

The FEMA guy looks like he has been smelling farts for 15 minutes now.

"It's happening!"

This is completely off the rails. They started over an hour late...what the hell were they doing to prepare for this clown show?

He's all over the place mainly making no sense.

He just proved th s t he has no idea of what he's saying, when he couldn't intelligibility say "health providers and first responders." Totally garbled.

Oh, and he's providing stuff to some states "free of charge". !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! He thinks that the normal action is to CHARGE States for Federal help!!!

Hahaha----just had a REVEALING PROJECTION: Said in the past it was difficult to fire people...if they were SADISTIC...." Who says this, in regards to termination of employment?!

"After we've won...." There he goes again, pretending he's Churchill ( remember when he stood enraged in Churchill's war-room bunker bedroom?).

And he's way up in veteran's polls.

He calls this "an incredible challenge. We're at war. We're fighting an invisible enemy, invisible, think of that."

“People are saying.”

🙄

Whose great idea is it to put him on live TV to ramble and mumble like this?

“They’re safe in that they are not killing people. We’re not having that.”

Reading off Miller’s lines now. “We are United” blah blah blah. He rattles these off at every rally.

"WINNING!!!"

Fauci is not there. Neither is Scarf Lady.

More of us ARE united — against him!!!

FEAR: coups d'état: French, literally ‘blow of state’

I hope someone asks the question Why are the poorest people getting the smallest checks?

FEMA guy: “Under President Trump’s unprecedented leadership...”

We know de facto President Andrew Cuomo and you, donald, are nowhere near being the leader Cuomo is in your absence.

Resign already.

Biden/Cuomo 2020

No, Trump, there won't be any "victory." That's his mantra now.

I am a war President. We are at war. We will be victorious. And I care, so you don't remember that I called Peter whatshisname a dishonest reporter for trying to get me to say this yesterday. It's a vicious thing. We will win and be victorious and you'll be back to buying stuff very soon, and the economy will skyrocket!

Okay, the above isn't a quote, but it's basically what Trump said.

National Gawd.

His "providing it free to states" is his response to Cuomo's declaration this morning that most states especially NY will not be able to shoulder the 25% financial responsibility required by the 75/25 split with the federal government.

R39 here: "that" and "intelligibly."

Fauci must have finally said “I’m not gonna stand here and listen to this clown anymore.” Scarf Lady: “me neither. I can’t anymore.”

Ah, thanks, r51.

Still, money is always foremost with him.

This dude needs to stop with his retarded hand movements.

Navarro thanking Trump for “making my job easier. I salute you Sir.”

R47, Oh, it's unprecedented, all right.

It upsets me to see him referred to as POTUS

Why is Pence referring to "the American people" instead of looking at the camera and directly addressing us?

Pence sure is proud of his blue and white pamphlet he is continuously waving around.

Lol, r56. Can you imagine Pence just smiling and waving into the camera going "Hi guys, it's me Mike!", like some YouTuber.

Mike Pence doing his best Little Mary Sunshine imitation.

Did Pence just say put on a mask and go back to work?

R62 I think he did.

I'd love to read body analyses of all these dressers.

Like, e.g., Pence just touched his finger to his nose while speaking. Isn't that indicative of a lie?

Today's purpose was to throw out numbers and figures to make us believe they are on top of this vs, when Trump, Pence, Pompeii, and toadies are abject failures, Fauci excepted.

OMG, somebody PLEASE get the hook here with Pence! STFU!

Finally.

Broken obsolete system!

R64: "pressers" and "Pompeo."

I see Trump has to have the last word.

He constantly repeats himself.

“Maybe you’ll have questions and maybe you won’t. That would be a shock to the American people.”

“Those are incredible ships. Operating rooms. Stainless steel.”

“Big supplies going to those ships. Big.”

“Romney’s in isolation? Gee.”

I have NO CLUE what tRump is babbling about!!!

The cute reporter asked another question. Who the hell is he???

These ships have great operating rooms. Stainless steel!

Quick, somebody ask a "nasty" question to liven this up.

The guy asking the first question is Trevor Ault from ABC.

OMG, Trump just totally wisecracked "Gee, that's too bad" about Romney's self-isolating, and then didn't have the GUTS to admit to the sarcasm when the reporter directly asked.

That was a chilling moment.

Trump wasn't being sarcastic. He has a great relationship with Romney. It's amazing actually, beautiful, and tremendous, and Romney will come back bigger, and better than ever! Truly amazing.

I am so excited about the stainless steel.

Trevor Ault! No wonder none of us knew who he was yesterday. Who watches ABC News.

I just think it's tremendous.

“We don’t want to socialize our country.”

“Hanes makes things of cotton.”

Dow futures down 954 points or 4.95%. I think that’s limit down.

Watching Trump talking about Hanes, a "great company," I can't help but think I'm watching an episode of Apprentice, with the teams tasked with fighting Covid-19.

Trevor Ault, this weekend's "Designated Nasty Reporter." Welcome to the club, Trevor. Make us proud!

He loves himself so much.

Playing the invisible accordion again, with Little Monkey Pence behind him.

Gary Busey needs to come on and give his two cents.

Trump has no idea what the name of the Washington Governor is.

Echolalia

Pence actually looked cross when Trump threw Republicans under the bus when Trump seemed to distance himself from traditional Republican thinking on protecting workers.

I watch ABC, r80 lol. I can't handle the talking heads from cable news and watch the nightly news everyday, just to stay informed. I had a no news day yesterday so I wasn't here to let y'all know who he was, and I apologize.

R83, I wouldn't doubt for one second that that's exactly how Ivanka advised them to approach Trump on this: As an episode, or season, haha, of "Celebrity Apprentice."

The USA : Trump's Seventh Bankruptcy!

Wow, he has no self awareness at all. His own government knew about the virus before doing anything here. But it's ALWAYS someone else's fault and someone else's problem with him.

R79, So is the Corona virus!

Lord, I wish I had even half the self esteem and confidence Trump has.

Oh, Kelly O' is there representing. My bad.

This fat cuntlicker. God, I hate him.

Trevor Ault is my new Matt Gutman.

C'mon Trev, show us your pubes.

“Bad things.”

General Milley does not play games.

“I have the BEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD.”

Ok I actually laughed at that. H1N1 was a disaster for the country but this is going well??

I am watching MSNBC and the camera seems to be slowly zooming in so you can't see the facial expressions of the FEMA guy

“Tremendous package.”

Democrats are holding out using politics to block the relief bill.

The former presidents must've breathed a sigh of relief learning that Trump wasn't going to ask them to interact with him.

He is an incredible fool for trying to tout the 14-day period as some kind of magic talisman. It’s going to be up in a week, and we will be worse off. He’s going to have a lot of explaining to do. Heaven help us.

R106, Come on. You know full well that in a week Trump will deny ever saying anything remotely like he said today.

Who's the Chinese chick?!

“So Peter I think you’re seeing a lot of that.”

Navarro: “Yes, sir.”

Just keep talking, fool.

“Nobody thanked me for not taking a salary. I didn’t have to do that.”

Nobody loves me.

WTF is this giant orange turd going on about ??? No one will THANK me??

Trump thought bubble: "Finally it's about MEEEE!"

Back to the MIRACLE MEDICINE again. I think that’s part of why Fauci bailed.

And don't forget that Cuomo & Newsom have congratulated him. It's always about him.

“They’re gonna start giving the drug through mouth.”

So Betsy DeVos is a no show?

He's talking about the election? NOW????

Only a quack would administer that for this virus.

R96, he doesn't have self-esteem and confidence. People with self-esteem and confidence don't have to lie about their accomplishments, they aren't thin-skinned, they don't call other people derogatory names, and they don't cheat on everything from golf to their taxes.

People with real self-esteem and confidence have integrity, they don't need other people to flatter them and tell them how great they are.

I can't wait for Trump to call Fauci "Tiny Tony."

"We are doing our best to kill New Yorkers. We've got them the drug." Might as well have said. MAWHS.

If I didn't hear it with my own ears, I wouldn't have believed it. We're in the middle of a global crisis and the fat orange turd AGAIN turned it to be all about him.

And now he's claiming there is a "cure" that NY will test on actual patients, and on Tuesday we'll find out, cause he's really excited about this.

HOW THE FUCK IS THIS IMBECILE CHILD STILL IN CHARGE?????????

He wants our thanks for his allegedly refusing the $450,000 annual presidential salary. He sure has the dollar amount down pat. Show us your tax returns as proof.

I continue to weep for this country.

The question was about masks. Not "sending our people in."

"My instinct." "I closed China."

I would just love it if, one by one, each of the men on stage with Trump just walked out on him in disgust.

If that drug combination does show some promise of effectiveness we will NEVER hear the end if it, how he knew it all along and no one believed him.

Faucci and the other doctors are right to be cautious: just because it works for malaria doesn't mean it will work for this virus, and who knows what the side effects will be, especially when used with another drug.

My partner and I switched to the Modern Family Marathon. I wish that Trump could be silenced for the remainder of the pandemic and pray that he will be silenced for good following the presidential elections in November😽

Blackie interrupts to save Trump.

This will end soon, as all can see Trump unraveling.

There is a lot of smart people in China.

R122, I've been waiting for Fauci to be fired. No one gets away very long with contradicting Trump. I'm speculating his top staffers are telling him it would be disastrous to fire Fauci, and that's the only reason he's still in his job.

R122, I've been waiting for Fauci to be fired. No one gets away very long with contradicting Trump. I'm speculating his top staffers are telling him it would be disastrous to fire Fauci, and that's the only reason he's still in his job.

Thanks, R91. We definitely needed you yesterday when we couldn't figure out who he was! Thank God the single person watching ABC national news is also here on DL. ;-)

We'll test the drug on Monday. We'll get the results on Tuesday. We'll treat everyone on Wednesday. Everyone will be cured on Tuesday. By Friday, I've saved the world and the stock market will be higher than it ever was. And all I get for that is fake news coverage???

donald just threw "his African-American" Surgeon General under the bus. Adios, mother fucker.

Does everybody who works for Trump have to learn flamboyant arm and hand movements for public speaking?

[quote] I wish that Trump could be silenced for the remainder of the pandemic

So do his advisors. He won’t shut up though.

R136 And you should all be thanking me!! No one says thanks!

What's with the RuPaul guy in military drag and gold nipples?

Don't call me Mrs. Pence.

Awww, r136, we'll get you some hamberders and covfefe, too!

I hope I never need to take that test and have a swab stuck up my nose almost to my eyeball.

So, Rand Paul supposedly had no symptoms but he got tested? Would the VP explain that and his advocacy that others not be tested.

Earth to Trump: STHU!!!!

omg he keeps cracking jokes like he’s hosting some event at Mar-a-Lago. He tried it with Pence and Pence refused to meet his eye. What a trainwreck.

[quote] I hope I never need to take that test and have a swab stuck up my nose almost to my eyeball.

You are right. It is fucking painful. I’ve had it done about six or seven times over the last year as part of a drug vaccine trial. Hate it.

"People are dying to go out to a restaurant." OMG.

If things should be named by how they originated, it’s the Trump Depression

I'm so sorry that we have to have an idiot for a president. He doesn't get any smarter over time.

The Slovenian Whore is VERY popular!!

Oh my god...me, me, me! Everyone is so unfair to ME!

[Quote] donald just threw "his African-American" Surgeon General under the bus. Adios, mother fucker.

What did Trump day?? I missed it

^ say

“Nasty question!”

Going off on a self-pity rant now. “It cost me billions of dollars to be president and now I’m being booed and people are suing me. It’s hard for rich people to run for President.” on and on

This is fucking pathetic.

Another "nasty question"!

"I don't own stock," my big fat arse!

"It cost me a fortune."

These press conferences are replacing his rallies.

I'm being sued everywhere.

"People are dying to go out to restaurants. People are dying to go on airplanes."

People are dying. Period. Poor word choice, but what do we expect.

Resign already.

What. IS. He. Talking. About?

Looney Bin, now!

The reporters need to stop. Trump is in his Rally Filibuster mode.

He's replaying his presidential run and how much money his business is losing. Such a victim!

“All the money I could have made the past 3 years. It cost me BILLIONS of dollars and no one thanks me!”

Oh, God, R159.... you’re right.

On the bright side, if this does drag on for six months he’ll get Stockholm Syndrome and start ragging on himself.

"We are doing things" "We're doing lots of things" FUCK YOU ASSHOLE. You don't do shit.

Himself, r162. Losing money as President, but "who cares? Who cares?"

Who cares?

Holy shit he is just completely unraveling. It’s frightening to watch.

Dow futures are limit down. The rescue bill failed to pass the Senate. Tomorrow is gonna be a bloodbath.

He declared himself a "war-time" president. At war with a invisible enemy. Actually the enemy is him.

This profoundly sick man.

Can we get a televised rebuttal to his political spiel?

He's got his mind focused on money at this point in the rally, his favorite subject.

OMG. "Other countries...There would be tremendous death. Tremendous death."

Think about those words. Trump just said, explicitly, that he thinks of the deaths of others as "tremendous." He emphasized it.

No one in his party wants him to keep doing this. It gets worse every time. He won’t listen to anyone. He’s off the rails.

"You know, when you think about it, I'm really the first president. No one really did anything before I was elected. I have been tremendous. I was left a mess from when the country started about 100 years ago."

Lying 10"% now, re: pre-existing conditions.

Totally shameful and shameless at the same time.

If the House can get him a great health care bill?! Has he forgotten that his party controlled both houses his first two years in office?!

Who just said “We need blood” twice as Trump was walking out?

Does anybody remember the mad scene from the musical version of Sunset Boulevard?

That’s why I’m channeling when he starts riffing.

Gio is Trevor's biggest fan.

R180, Yes. Yes, he has forgotten. Dementia.

[quote]"People are dying to go out to restaurants. People are dying to go on airplanes."

This. Is. Incredibly. Stupid.

I imagine the former presidents texting each other, grateful they're off the hook.

Their rosy scenarios (that must be the name of some drag queen somewhere) are going to run slam into the numbers that will soon be coming out of New York, Chicago, and elsewhere as the hospital beds and ICU units fill up and more ventilators are needed.

This moron is so out of his depth it is incredible. We are facing a devastating crisis with the worst possible person we could find in the Oval Office.

It's all about Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,Me,!

What sheer and utter insanity. That really did turn into a rally of one - poor me. Pity me. Feel sorry for me. I get no love. I lost billions running for president.

ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME ME

He really does need to be locked up... in a padded room with no windows.

R188 - LOL!!!

[quote]Who just said “We need blood” twice as Trump was walking out?

Did someone actually say that? If so, what context?

* BREAKING* Rand Paul tested positive for coronavirus.

There is a blood shortage. With people avoiding going out, blood banks have less people coming in to donate blood. My local news had a story about it on Friday.

R190 The Surgeon General asking people to donate blood.

Do people still expect this motherfucker to tell the truth about ANYTHING, unless he benefits from it? And even then?

R190 I thought I heard someone say it into a mic as Trump was walking out. Couldn’t see who it was. Something about “blood.”

These are the numbers Trump was reeling off at the start of this:

Says New York has received:

186,416 N95 masks

444,078 surgical masks

84,560 face-shields

68,944 surgical gowns

245,486 gloves

from federal stockpile

Where tf did he get these from? 245,486 gloves??

What about the checks? Someone said poor people would get less?

His "staff" pull numbers out of their ass and he reads them. They are making this shit up as they go along.

Please someone snuff him out.

[quote] If the House can get him a great health care bill?! Has he forgotten that his party controlled both houses his first two years in office?!

With the filibuster a party would need 60 votes in the Senate to control legislation, which the GOP didn’t have. The Democrats did have 60 votes that allowed Obamacare to be passed.

From his filled Depends, r195, Trump's usual source of his "facts."

His prewritten script is insulting enough without his stupid ad libs.

Just resign already.

Did you hear the head of FEMA declaring this is not martial law? Is that coming?

How many cabinet members are "acting".

[quote]Did Pence just say put on a mask and go back to work?

Yep.

[quote]The CDC tomorrow is going to issue new guidance which will make it possible for people who have exposed to the coronavirus to return to work more quickly by wearing a mask for a certain period of time.

These are the folks who last week said if health care workers couldn’t find a mask they could just throw on a bandanna.

Networks should cut away after the prepared remarks. They should not be broadcasting his one-man show dick stroking Q&A session. Seriously.

He claimed he lived in NY for a short time? WTF?

He’s worried about the Chinese? He should worry about the Blacks in November!

You just know that the fat orange fuck is trying to paint this as being over "very soon" because he wants to go GOLFING. How many times do you think he bitched about not being able to hit the links this weekend? I guarantee you that he goes golfing within the next month.

THAT MISERABLE LYING FUCK.

Jake Tapper@jaketapper·1h

A source close to Senator Rand Paul explains the events of the last couple weeks: A week and a half or so ago, Sen. Paul shut down his offices because of the coronavirus, telling his staff to work from home.

2/ On March 15, it was reported that two individuals at an event he attended in Kentucky -- Speed Art Museum's March 7 "Speed Ball" event -- tested positive for coronavirus.

3/ The source close to Paul says the senator was confident he hadn't interacted with the two so he didn't think much of it, but then he thought about the particular vulnerability of those with respiratory and lung issues.

4/ Last August, as a result of complications from the neighbor who assaulted him in 2017, Paul had surgery that removed part of his lungs; he still occasionally experiences shortness of breath. Given that, source says, even though he was asymptomatic, he decided to play it safe.

5/ He got the test six or seven days ago, this source says. He felt fine, had no symptoms, and did not think he had coronavirus. He went about his daily life, including lunching with colleagues last week and going to the Senate gym this morning.

6/ Afterwards he got the results of the test and learned he had tested positive. As soon as he heard that, the source says, he left the Senate immediately.

Yes, but VP Pence said that if you aren't feeling any symptoms, then you should not get tested. I guess it's okay to be an asymptomatic carrier and infect the people around you as long as you said a prayer this morning.

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump·1h

My friend (always there when I’ve needed him!), Senator @RandPaul, was just tested “positive” from the Chinese Virus. That is not good! He is strong and will get better. Just spoke to him and he was in good spirits.

I swear I'm not a frau, but I enjoyed this:

The Coronavirus deniers are all Republicans, so win-win.

He is ignorant, stupid and if he opens his mouth, he is lying.

Deplorable reveals true feelings....

Just looked up his name. Is he a plumber in VA? I'm going to guess he is and if he is, then it's hilarious how he essentially sees himself as a "have" when I'm pretty sure Dems like myself have more. These delusional, working class, Republican idiots make McConnell and Trump and Kushner and Mnuchin's job so fucking easy. Delusional fools like him are the reason the wealthiest get wealthier.

R217, he claims to have retired at 49.

The juvenile hyperbole in sentence after sentence literally wants to make me puke.

When he says "Dem" he's talking about minorities.

Wow... This guy is really sick

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump·

I watch and listen to the Fake News, CNN, MSDNC, ABC, NBC, CBS, some of FOX (desperately & foolishly pleading to be politically correct), the @nytimes, & the @washingtonpost, and all I see is hatred of me at any cost. Don’t they understand that they are destroying themselves?

WE CANNOT LET THE CURE BE WORSE THAN THE PROBLEM ITSELF. AT THE END OF THE 15 DAY PERIOD, WE WILL MAKE A DECISION AS TO WHICH WAY WE WANT TO GO!

[quote] Don’t they understand that this is all about MEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!

There, I fixed it for him.

MSDNC??

R221 and anyone, WTH does Trump mean "which way we will go"??

To help or not to help the states?! To tell governors to lift restrictions on residents?! To declare Martial Law?!

WTH does Trump MEAN?!

R223, Trump is implying that MSNBC is a propaganda tool of the DNC.

R224, what this stupid fool is attempting to say is that we can somehow miraculously lift the “stay at home” recommendations (what he calls the alleged “cure”) after next week. That is, of course, insane. No doctor or scientist is credibly making that assertion. Moreover, and quite sadly, most of our fellow citizens have utterly and selfishly failed to follow the simple guidance to stay home except to get food or in a real emergency. So “the cure” hasn’t actually been applied, except among a small group of people. tRump’s tweet is incredibly dangerous because it will make the task of extending the stay-at-home recommendation — or making it stricter — all the more difficult in a few days time as the problems worsen. This was likely met with groans from governors and mayors around the country who are desperately trying to manage this aspect of the crisis with only spotty success.

He desperately wants to go back to the status quo before this all broke. Unfortunately, he’s not making the situation better, he’s working at odds with those who are helping, thus making matters worse.

Is Mar a Lago closed to him as the owner-residence? Or just closed as a club and guest place?

[quote]I watch and listen to the Fake News, CNN, MSDNC, ABC, NBC, CBS, some of FOX (desperately & foolishly pleading to be politically correct), the @nytimes, & the @washingtonpost, and all I see is hatred of me at any cost

How does he ever find the time for all that between his rounds of golf???

Please, let him go to Mar-a-Lago! The Senate gym, too!

Can AF1 fly him to Lombardy or Veneto? You know, to get some fresh air, walk around, do a little shopping.

Just remembered: The Italians coined the term "malaria" for the Plague's "bad air," or "mal aria," when Death came to Venice.

I’m in Colorado and our GAY governor had a press conference Sunday to update what the state government is doing and on it he said something about how the state’s doing what it needs to BECAUSE TRUMP TOLD US WE’RE ON OUR OWN.

So, he's basically saying that he's okay with a bunch of old people dying as long as that gets the economy going again. Does he not understand that it was a bunch of old people who voted for him? He's okay with letting his voters die before November? He's even more stupid than any of us could imagine.

r231, we haven't had free, fair elections since W. Clinton's 2nd term.

Today we will have to hear him rant about how the Dems blocked the tremendous, wonderful, perfect stimulus bill.

R228 Right. It's so good to see our president dedicated to managing this national existential crisis, and not watching TV.

R233, but what about beautiful? It needs to be beautiful!

[quote]He's okay with letting his voters die before November?

He and I finally agree on something.

[quote]He desperately wants to go back to the status quo before this all broke.

aka GOLFING.

R231, He is reveling in the suffering of the Blue States, especially California and New York. Trump is a vengeful sadist. He revealed this the other day when he used the term "sadist" in trying to come up with reasons a person might be fired.

It is laughable that any New Yorker tries to appeal to Trump by mentioning that NYC is his hometown; he just remembers that IT DIDN'T VOTE for him!!

Trump Tower and every other thing with his name on it, needs to be removed and everything ceased from that family to pay for beds, ventilators, temp hospitals, food for healthcare workers. They've avoided paying taxes and fines for all of the fucked up things they've gotten away with for decades in NYC.

Fuck them and their supporters.

[quote][R231], He is reveling in the suffering of the Blue States, especially California and New York.

Ya know... I thought that. He might be stalling things in order to make us suffer more.

[quote] I hope someone asks the question Why are the poorest people getting the smallest checks?

Because republicans have always hated the poor and anyone living on fixed incomes such as many on social security. They see them as drags on society and the only thing the GOP wishes for those folks is that they hurry up and die.

R243, and yet so many who who are in that situation will vote GOP because they refuse to see that's who they are. They are the dregs who are only useful for their vote.

As LBJ stated: Just give them someone to look down on.

FYI

Since you silly people insist on bashing Pelosi w/out doing any research, allow me to try to enlighten you!

From Pelosi's social media team, via Helen Stickler:

Nancy Pelosi is calling the Senate bill the "McConnell Corporate Slush Fund" and here is what she says is wrong with it:

• McConnell’s bill includes a $500,000,000,000.00 corporate slush fund for CEOs and the ultra rich — while leaving workers, families and children out to dry.

• McConnell’s bill has weak stock buyback language that can be waived by the Treasury Secretary; executive compensation limits only last for two years; language on worker retention is weak and includes easy outs for companies; there are no assurances in the language that workers will benefit.

• The bill provides little transparency of the lending done by Treasury (amount and to whom?).

• There are no specific provisions to protect from individuals from eviction, foreclosure or forbearance. Other Major Problems:

• No money for state and local governments.

• No additional SNAP funds.

• No OSHA language to protect workers.

• No expanded emergency leave provisions.

• Only 3 months on Unemployment Insurance – this is an insufficient length given the scope of the crisis.

• Direct Payments are not available to the millions of people who did not file a return in 2018 or 2019.

• No money to help with the treatment of the uninsured.

• The bill does not provide adequate relief for the 44 million federal student loan borrowers

Also, another tidbit about the 500 billion slush fund:

"Not only does Munchin want the 500 billion dollar slush fund that he would have complete control over…he would also get the ability to hide who he gives the money to for six months."

He won't have to tell anyone he gave Mar-a-Lago money!!!!

SUPPORT, MISS NANCY!

How in the hell does any moron not in the 1% vote Republican. HOW? Is the racism and bigotry THAT strong that you don't recognize you don't have the fucking income to justify voting for a party that will shit on you at every opportunity?

Thanks, r245. Mitch took a 'vacation' so he could force his agenda, Nancy and Chuck saw through it and they are doing what's best for US not the companies that continue to rob and cheat.

[quote]Thanks, [R245]. Mitch took a 'vacation' so he could force his agenda,

The last time that I recall Mitch moving this fast was to stop the seating of an Obama Supreme Court Justice Nominee.

R244 poor people & people living on fixed incomes, especially the elderly, many times are far more gullible in believing what they hear from politicians who tell them what they want to hear. The republican party has realized this for generations and has taken advantage of it in a big way. The democrats have done a poor job all this time in convincing those people that they've been played for fools by the GOP. Plus, you have to consider that many elderly people suffer from a certain level of natural dementia that comes with age. It is more severe with many of them. I am 66 years old and I have old friends, a husband and wife who are 76 & 69 respectively. Up until a few years ago they were very liberal democrats. I talked with the wife a couple days ago and we were talking about the Coronavirus and she started saying how Donald Trump was doing everything in his power to do the best for the country. She had a stroke a few years back and I have seen steady diminishing of her mental faculties, as well as those of her husband. But I knew when she said that she had become one of those old people who believe whatever sounds the best to them. I tried to convince her that Trump is an incompetent fool and a proven liar and she just sat there silent, and I knew there was no use in even trying. She's too far gone, and her husband is in the same boat.

With the attention span of a gnat, it should surprise no one that Trump is thought to be hesitant about continuing a lockdown policy.

R250, it's just that he needs his rallies. It's his lifeline.

[quote]t's just that he needs his rallies. It's his lifeline.

I have no problem with this as long as those people are never again allowed outside of wherever the fuck they hold that klan rally so that they don't end up infecting people who aren't cultist shits.

Is he conducting a Truth-free briefing today? I'm curious to see if Fauci and Birx are present especially after the DM's article on Fauci.

I just stopped on Fox News, and they were telling their viewers there's "a light at the end of the tunnel" and things look to improve in "about ten days"! Just watch, Trump will parrot those lines at his press conference.

The briefing is at 5:30 today.

Thanks R255!

Is anyone listening to our prezident any more? I mean except for laughs, maybe.

Only his flying monkey deplorables.

I am so worried that I will punch my television if I watch another second of this Tang colored clown. His promotion of the malaria meds killed someone today and put another person in the ER. I wonder if a 'nasty' reporter will call him out.

At least the heavy rain should keep most inside.

R250 He's pissed because the Repug Bill that would have bailed out him and his league of ultra-rich supporter failed to pass. Now, he's freaking and willing to kill between 2.5 to 5% of the American population so he doesn't lose more money in a total crash. Problem is, his supporters are dumb enough to believe that it's the right thing (285K people have liked his tweet). They think this is an old person illness. Sadly, 40% of those being hospitalized are people between 18 and 40,so, this isn't just older people getting critically ill. If social distancing ends, hospitals will been completely overwhelmed and peole will die at a much faster rate. Added to that, most countries will effectively quarantine America off killing international trade. Also, unchecked most of the workforce will be ill or dying.

Cold hard truth....the economy is fucked no matter what we do at this point.

R261, of his followers, more than 15M are fake. Assume thousands of those likes come from bots.

[quote] the economy is fucked no matter what we do at this point.

That is true, but there are Stupid, insipid half-measures that will only prolong this torture and make the hit on the economy much, much worse.

Today I'm keeping a tally of how many times he says beautiful, tremendous, and other buzzwords.

No Fauci again, Birx is there, Bill Barr and some military guy, Rump and Pence.

Orange pig.

Lies. lies lies lies lies

Where is Tiny Tony?

He needs a shot of COVID-19.

So, he is purposely avoiding using "Chinese Virus" I picked up 3 x's where he wanted to say it but didn't. I wonder what happened?

He's too insane to live.

Please reporters, nail his fat ass.

R269: Please do not disparage Dr. Fauci, intentionally or not. Thank you.

Biden/Cuomo 2020.

barr looks like Droopy Dog

Stop that monotone reading, it's unbearable.

Barr isn't saying anything new or conclusive. The whole thing is to give a PR opportunity on how "the Team" is responding. There is no public health purpose to this news conference.

Trump sounds determined to open everything back up next week. Money over people's lives.

Well! No lipstick to be wiped from his ass this evening; the good Medicine Woman was obvious in her failure to sing donald's praises. Good on her.

Biden/Cuomo 2020

So he pays attention for 4 days, and now we are open for business.

These companies are loved by our workers. These companies pay big big salaries?

I hate him so much...why can't he just die? He is destroying our country in just 4 years...why did people pick this lowlife jerk.

OH HE WANTS TO SAY CHIIIIIIINESE VIRUS. but has been banned

Many countries? Like Nebraska. And Nambia.

He looked down when Fauci's name was mentioned by the reporter. Can some body language interpreter decipher this?

OMG, the moron is comparing Idaho and Nebraska to NY! There are fewer people in ID than Brooklyn alone! Why does no one call him out on this bullshit???

Also Nebraska is a "country"

Also earlier "we want people to go to the DMV"

We want Tiny Tony!

Eh, R287, I heard that shit and it wasn't even the stupidest part of what he said. Literally giving credit to states with low populations who haven't even been tested and governors who haven't done a fucking thing.

Why doesn't someone ask him: What did the governor of IDAHO do that Cuomo should copy?

I couldn't get myself to sit through another one of the live briefings. My head and my heart can't take it

The lady doctor looks like she's about to fall over.

These daily briefings are spiraling out of control. Trump needs an audience and his rallies have been canceled.

She's old, but does Trump want to fuck the doc?

Cuomo must have hurt his fragile feelings in their call today, clearly not a perfect call, thus the kudos to some unknown Idaho governor under no stress whatsoever.

There's Pence's fucking blue and white flash card again.

Oh dear.

Where's the Doc that discovered AIDS gone to? Is he out now for smirking at Dotards ignorance?

So, new hires, the late in the game?

He said it's under control now, earlier

This little group is shrinking.

There is a pandemic. And his huge lesson, is shaking hands. The great wisdom of our leader.

verbal diarrhea

Trump wants to end this stay at home now because it's affecting his ego.

Just watch, he is going to do it and all hell will break lose. My hunch is the Governess will ignore him and still go with the scientists and medical advice. He will then be pissed that they are disobeying him and probably file lawsuits and start verbally trashing his new best friends.

He mentioned deaths from car crashes. Presumably there will be fewer of those if everyone stays home.probably fewer flu deaths too.

if I hear "learning process" one more time. Its more offensive than Chinese Virus

He's making no sense and trying to sound smart and decisive. Purposeless chatter.

Any lip readers catch what Barr said to Pence?

Any lip readers catch what Barr said to Pence?

Ineradicable learning curve

1) called states countries..

2) got the number of how many countries their are in the world wrong..

3) pronounced the word scourge as "SCORE-ug"...pronounced the state of illinois with the "s" at the end...

4) he and barr and pence started laughing when female with scarf lady said she wasn't on tv this weekend because she didn't feel well, so trump, pence and barr acted like they were getting away from her on the podium and chuckling!...

and it goes ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON AND ON!

A COMPLETE IDIOT SOCIOPATH!....

Half of them up on the dais w/him look like they want to bludgeon him to death.

His face looks marginally better today. Trump is bizarrely strong as an ox.

R308 "My hemorrhoids hurt"

He might as well just come out and say what he means which is money is more important than anything and anyone.

Bill Barr looks like he hasn't had his 21 ounce Porterhouse steak and chocolate cake tonight at Trump's D.C. hotel.

The trade-off is letting people die, in order to "open" again

He's not taking the bite on Chinese Virus q

The networks really have to stop broadcasting this insanity and just ignore these things until some real meaningful news is worth reporting.

And in the meantime, Senate Repugs are blaming the Democrats (of course) for the failed bill because the Dems (how dare they!!) want to block corporations from getting bail-out money without knowing who is getting how much (or some BS like that). Good, they are mad. Good, they are angry. Where were the Repugs when the House bill came to them on Saturday???

Fuck you Moscow Mitch and your idiotic cronies!! This is all your fault!

Once a)ain, Trump's emphasis is money and Wall Street.

Problems with Wall Street is "the cure worse than what we have." Wall Street faces " death. Death. Death. Death." He said it four times at least. "Death."

Yet he cares not, and indeed pooh-poohs, actual mortal death. Real death delights his sadistic nature.

Kick, Kick, Kick!

Did anyone expect the Refug senate to do anything but grift billions to corporations, which are bizarrely, suddenly BROKE, after 2 weeks.

[quote]This little group is shrinking.

I keep expecting Oompa Loompas to come out and sing a song after each press conference.

ALL THE COMPANY MONEY WENT TO .1%

"Naz-DECK!"

Maybe they should give some back to their broke companies.

The Repugs did r322. Grifting during fear.

R320 His psychosis is truly frightening.

Wheeee!

And that problem was of Boeing's own making--how many passengers were killed due to that corporation's negligence? No soup for you, Boeing!

If today's Presidential briefing was interrupted by regularly scheduled programming, then your local news station just saved you life!!

^LMAO!

"Your metaphorical plan..." HA!

I had to stop watching but did any reporter bring up the guy who died using Trump's suggestion of using anti-malaria meds? It didn't end well for him or his wife.

What did he say about the MVD?

Volkswagen survived their self inflicted gunshot wound. Fuck Boeing if they can't self correct

Has anyone spotted Peter Alexander amidst the seated reporters?

He suspended the photo id voting thing and said because "we want people to go to the DMV" - overlooked the NOT

CNN broke away to Erin Burnett.

LOL! He's whining!

He just created a "ha aha ha... so cute"... opportunity to talk about the "angry, angry media..." Trump keeps jumping the shark. And his cult eats it up.

He thinks his press audience is too small. He is licking his chops ready to do his rallys again.

Oh please. She should be ashamed. I learned to wash my hands when I was 6 years old. 50 fucking years ago. I learned about face touching and mouth touching and surfaces during flu season - 50 FUCKING YEARS ago and it was not a "learning process" for crissakes.

Scarf lady needs to stop licking his boots.

MSNBC just cut the feed. LOL

Every channel is breaking away from his briefing. This is RESPONSIBLE reporting.

You know what, if he kills his base, fine. This man is a serious threat to US all.

Where is Tony?

JUST NOW asking female doctor "see all these empty seats and all these angry reporters (because they don't like me) they're are plenty of other reporters outside who wanted badly to be here in the seats and are jealous of these angry reporters,will there ever come a time when the seats will be all be filled again, you know like how they were nearly sitting on each laps, all these angry reporters?" then he smirks and laughs turns around to barr who also starts smirking and laughing! female doctor then took the podium and came up with some mumbo jumbo to his rhetorical question..

WTF! IS HE INSANE AND A SOCIOPATH! WE KNOW BARR IS A POS AND A SOCIOPATH....

I think scarf doc is trying to do a public service and working with the Trumptard. But his sleaze inevitably slimes onto all around him. Apparently she's a serious person. I think she and Fauci decided to try to serve the public in that sinking ship.

CBSN is sticking with it.

Fox is still showing the briefing.

Kudos to CNN and MSNBC for cutting off his daily rant.

The October Surprise will be the re-emergence of Corona Virus..."bigger, stronger, better" and more lethal.

Just resign, already.

R323, oompa loompa fact checkers would be great, including those psychedelic graphics...

Of course FOX is still paying it.

Trump is talking about "the massive number of suicides" if McConnell's bill isn't passed.

"We can't let this (shutdown) continue to go on. We can't. Can't let the cure be worse than what's going on (disease and people dying)."

Sick psycho.

Scarf lady is making too many excuses for Cheeto. Stop it!

That Scarf Bitch has totally invalidated herself with this. She's probably looking for a book deal.

The woman left. She had enough. Said she had to go.

The word China is banned. Did China twist his hand?

Debrah is her name.

R356, Because Trump loves to use words relating to suffering and death: "death"; "suicides"; " I don't want to kill millions in Afghanistan"; "illegal immigrants commit rapes and murders"; etc.

Like I've posted, his subconscious let it out the other day when he used the word "sadist" as a potential cause for someone's being fired. Normal minds do not think that way. But a sadist's mind just might.

It is going to be up to every Governor to protect their state. The Federal government has failed.

Are we ripe to be taken over? I feel like Trump's ineptitude has really exposed us.

Trump just rambling now. Talking about the room and praising Pence and Jerome Powers.

Announciñg Betsy DeVos will be showing at a briefing soon. This week. Oh joy.

Looks like the orangutan got a fresh hair dye job. Probably the reason for the briefing late in the day, he was at the WH beauty parlor.

That was the plan all along, R364. Vlad must be ecstatic!

Putin should just send in his army and run things. He already controls elections and U.S. foreign policy.

Kudos to CNN and MSNBC!

Trump: look people have to make money- so what if a few million people get sick and die- this is the greatest economy!!

What???????

Trump said HE would be the oversight of the distributed corporate money.

Says he is a forward thinker.

Trump said HE would be the oversight of the distributed corporate money.

Says he is a forward thinker.

No, you imbecile, DeSantis is not a great governor and he has not done a great job.

I was watching MSNBC and until they cut out, this is what I got:

1 Beautiful 7 Incredible 9 Tremendous 3 Hotspot 3 See what happens 3 Win/victory 3 Invisible enemy/scourge 1 War 1 Nasty

I just didn't believe these briefings would get worse. I was so wrong. It will end with a Caligula styled orgy: including Jared, Ivanka and a donkey. AT the end, Trump will announce 'We're The Aristocrats!'

R373: He can't wait to lumber around the Mar a Largo dining room and tell his cronies "I just made you a lot of money, again."

Biden/Cuomo 2020.

Who are these people?

Poll: Half of Americans approve of Trump’s coronavirus response--The president’s net positive rating is starkly partisan.

By QUINT FORGEY

03/23/2020 02:00 PM EDT

Half of Americans give President Donald Trump positive marks for his management of the coronavirus outbreak, according to a new survey, and his approval rating has seen a marginal improvement over the past month as the pandemic has worsened.

A Monmouth University poll released Monday reports that 50 percent of respondents believe Trump has done a “good job” dealing with the outbreak, while 45 percent say he has done a “bad job.” Three percent of those surveyed said they had a mixed review of Trump’s performance, and 1 percent did not have an opinion.

This unhinged motherfucker pulled off the greatest scam in American history and he won't stop rubbing our faces in it. Just please go away. Go. Away.

I trust Pelosi over McConnell every time

Just like the GOP tried hard to block Obama’s stimulus (barely any votes for it), let the Dems block this slush fund for the rich

Betsy: "We have decided not to re-open any government schools, K-12."

"Starting in August, America's children will be getting the finest education in the world in what we will be calling Be Best Academies, with a tremendous curriculum that focuses not on the failed "3 Rs" of government schools, but rather the "3 Fs": "Faith, Finance, and Freedom."

"Each class, not just each day, will begin with the Pledge of Allegiance and the Lord's Prayer. On Fridays we will add the singing of 'God Bless America.' "

"America's youngest consumers will be taken on field trips to Wall Street and homeless camps, to see the difference between successful and wonderful people and losers who just take and take. We will offer the latter group our thoughts and prayers."

"In the Fall, we will send Middle Grade students to shooting ranges, and Top Grade students to 'Controlled Hunting of Endangered Species' ranches. This will be in conjunction with semesters focusing on the blessed Second Amendment, a gift from Jesus our Savior."

"So we are living now in an exciting time, filled with many opportunities for those of us who choose not to live in fear of some invisible Chinese whatever! Let's all go out like proud Americans, shop, gather in groups, spend, boost our great American economy, and just.....

Be Best! God Bless you, and God Bless America!"

r378, they polled 821 people. That means nothing. My high school had 4000 people.

A monster's dilemma: millions of extra deaths or back to business as usual.

I suspect he will sacrifice America's elderly population in order to open up the economy again next week. Will the states be able to remain closed?

Well, he can't make us Boomers leave our homes. Let the young 'uns do the spending.

Oh, wait.

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump

This is the way the @nytimes finished a story on me.

“You can see the contrast between the steady, assured, informed and strong leadership that VP Biden (Sleepy Joe) has shown, and the bungling, chaotic and dishonest start-stop approach that Mr. (not Pres.) Trump has shown........us since the beginning of this crisis.”

They meant the opposite? Forgot to mention that I closed our Country to China (and Europe) very early, long before it was considered acceptable to do so. Sleepy Joe said I was “xenophobic”, but I saved thousands of lives! Fake News!

Now is the time for the 25th Amendment.

Please...?

[quote] I closed our Country to China (and Europe)

Yeah, we know. You’ve told us a few million times. And the virus still got in, you fucking dimwitted moron.

But, you have these treats, R388

Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick: 'I'm all in' on risking my health to lift social distancing guidelines for economic boost

Washington (CNN)Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick said Monday night that he's "not living in fear" of the novel coronavirus pandemic and is "all in" on lifting social distancing guidelines recommended by public health experts in order to help the economy.

Patrick, who said he turns 70 next week, would be among the high-risk population that is most affected by the coronavirus. But he said people like him have to weigh the hazards to their personal health that the virus poses with the challenges to health of the American economy brought on by social distancing guidelines.

"No one reached out to me and said, 'As a senior citizen, are you willing to take a chance on your survival in exchange for keeping the America that all America loves for your children and grandchildren?' And if that is the exchange, I'm all in," Patrick told Fox News.

He added, "My messages is that let's get back to work, let's get back to living. Let's be smart about it and those of us who are 70+, we'll take care of ourselves. But don't sacrifice the country."

The suggestion directly contradicts recommendations put forth by government agencies and public health experts. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has been urging "social distancing" -- defined as "remaining out of places where people meet or gather" and "avoiding local public transportation" -- even if you don't have any symptoms of the virus as a way to slow the spread of the disease. The CDC has recommended that no gatherings of 50 or more people take place for eight weeks and adults 65 and over stay home, if possible.

The CDC reports that 8 in 10 coronavirus deaths reported in the US are among adults 65 years old and older.

State health officials on Monday reported more than 100 coronavirus-related deaths in a single day for the first time since the outbreak, according to a tally from CNN Health, surpassing 500 total deaths nationwide.

Still, Patrick's comments echo a growing desire among some Republicans -- including President Donald Trump -- to ease guidelines that have shuttered businesses and kept workers at home.

"Our country wasn't built to be shut down. This is not a country that was built for this. It was not built to be shut down," the President said during a Monday evening briefing at the White House, even as he acknowledged the effects of coronavirus are likely to worsen.

Reacting to Trump's comments, Patrick said he talks to business people "all the time" and that his "heart is lifted tonight by what I heard the President say because we can do more than one thing at a time."

That's a man?

He looks like a lesbian.

I had the same reaction. I was thinking" Where's the guy?

It's the bitch tits, right?

Threw you for a loop, huh?

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump·

The Hill/HarrisX: 61% to 39% Approval Rating on handling of Coronavirus situation. Thank you!

The World market for face masks and ventilators is Crazy. We are helping the states to get equipment, but it is not easy. Just got 400 Ventilators for @NYCMayor Bill de Blasio. Work beginning on 4 hospitals in New York! Millions of different type items coming!

The Defense Production Act is in full force, but haven’t had to use it because no one has said NO! Millions of masks coming as back up to States.

This is not about the ridiculous Green New Deal. It is about putting our great workers and companies BACK TO WORK!

R390.. so basically him and the other REPUBS are worried about their own money making corruption deals and financial situation! is he getting money from russian too i wonder?..

r1, that is exactly what Dump said during that visit to the CDC, an agency whose budget his admin cut. What he should have said during that visit? " we are asking citizens who have traveled to places where there is an outbreak of covid to self quarantine for two weeks and submit to testing." " we have tests available here". He also said this pandemic is fake news. The backstory of all this is his admin rejected the who's tests and tried to create their own test to monetize this situation from top to bottom. Several senators made huge stock transactions after these initial meetings, not all repugs.

[QUOTE] Deborah is her name.

It never suited her.

Bone Spurs & Jared will give stimulus $$$$$$$ to themselves and cronies with corporate connections, Ohers they will deny that oppose him politically. .

He’s lying in a Fox News virtual townhall now.

I was wondering if anyone was paying any attention to that. I'm seeing no reports, tweets, etc.

Tiny Tony is back!

I missed the first few minutes...what did Rump say about "Easter" as a target date?

That Easter deadline is so pandering. I see Fauci hiding in the background.

R402 It’s a special day for a lot of people, very special.

The orange make-up is very big, strong, and powerful today. He has the reverse raccoon eyes thing going on.

He said he would like the country to be working again by Easter, but there’s no commitment, since he doesn’t control the individual state lockdowns.

Cuomo says he hasn't full invoked the Defense Production Act.

Doing self-care today. Decided not to watch these photo ops. Any real information that is needed will be filtered out of his narcissistic dissembling.

Why is he so obsessed all of a sudden with Easter?

He is the most transparent person I think I’ve ever seen in my entire life. Not one scintilla of mystery about What his motivations and desires are at literally any moment. He is really a very unique person at the end of the day although I feel much more comfortable referring to him as a specimen.

They may have to shutdown Mississippi since their stupid governor refuse to enforce a stay at home order. It could end up with more cases than any other state and he would have to be held accountable.

Trump is not going to help Cuomo. He'll lie about it but it isn't going to happen.

Me, too, R408. But I've been that way since the campaign of 2016. I just can't watch him talk. Two or three times over the past week I've tried to watch, just to be aware of what he's spouting, and I can't do it, so I've stopped trying.

It takes about two to three seconds of his face and voice for me to be so repulsed I turn away.

Cuomo also said today that Secy Azar is "stockpiling" 20,000 ventilators.

[quote]Why is he so obsessed all of a sudden with Easter?

Because unlike you, heathen, he is a good Christian sent by God to save the Easter bunny!

[quote]Why is he so obsessed all of a sudden with Easter?

Because he has a thing for bunnies!

and whores.

Did he say 6 Trillion dollars???

R409, So his allegedly Christian Deplorables understand Jesus Trump's message of Resurrection (of the economy, but that's even better!).

He could have said April 12th, but “Easter” is going to resonate more as people plan on going to church service.

Crowded churches with lots of germs.

Now ask Fauci if he’s down with this plan of having “churches PACKED by Easter.”

That big white ship won't get to NY for "a few short weeks"?! A FEW, Mikey?!

OMG.

And now Pence is repeating the lie that Trump HAS activated that Defense Act, but we don't NEED it yet!

Hospitals are begging for equipment! I live near some that are asking civilians to sew and donate masks!

I hate him so much, I can barely stand to listen to his voice. LIES!

R417, “Easter” is going to resonate more with his base of evangelicals, not necessarily with Christians who will be disappointed not to go, but who plan to follow the best health guidelines possible.

I'm guessing a lot of churches will hold virtual services and will not risk making their entire congregations into carriers and sick people.

Trump - some states are fine. Fauci - those states need to be tested.

Dont forget to lick the outside of the Easter eggs kids to prove to the Libs how its still a Hoax to take down our fearless leader.

Cuomo laid out the reasons today why invoking he Defense Production Act would make a huge difference and why he thinks Rump isn't doing it...

That's a perfect cat meme R424.

Trump will never stop living in his demented dream world.

The way talks about Easter, I am curious of how much Trump knows about the actual holiday from a religious standpoint. I am sure he knows it is a religious holiday and the very basics, but I bet it is a very superficial level. I wonder if he would even be able to describe Palm Sunday or Holy Thursday.

Well, I get confused about Holy Thursday, R429. Is it Maundy or is it Thursday?

How do bunnies lay eggs just on Easter?

After they all get sick and die it will be known as Black Easter.

God tells them to, R431.

R29 I think he keeps harping on Easter because he sees himself as the "savior" who will "resurrect" the country from the depths of the Chinese virus.

I wish someone would have asked about the man who died after taking the chloroquine fish medicine.

Sorry, I meant R429 in my reply.

This comes across to me as a NYC "HIT" piece pushed by the Trump people; (It's on CNN)

"Dr. Deborah Birx from the White House coronavirus task force issues the advice and says about 56% of all US cases are coming out of that metro area"--Anyone who was in New York should self-quarantine

AND, WHY DO THE MEDIA FALL INTO THIS TRAP???

"Trump says a "big part" of Dow surge today was due to his work on getting country "open as soon possible"

President Trump said that a “big part” of the stock market and the Dow’s surge today was due to his work to get the country “open as soon possible” as well as the potential deal reached on the Hill.

“This is very encouraging and I think part of the reason is looking what is close to being passed and I think a very big part of it is they see that we want to get our country open as soon as possible. They see we’re working very hard on that. That’s a very big factor I think in today’s historic gain,” Trump told reporters in the briefing room on Tuesday. US stocks ended in the green on Tuesday, recouping all of Monday’s losses as investors grew optimistic about the government’s response to the coronavirus crisis.

What a shit show.

Did any news organisation explain why Trump, yesterday, was forbidden to say "The Chinese Virus". Who got to him?

Why is Trump alienating Asian Americans with this Chinese Virus thing ? I always thought that Trump's "what's good for business is good for the U.S.A. " and his family values rhetoric would ensure their support. The same could be said for Moslem and Latino Americans who would also find his conservative social stance appealing. Am I missing something here ? Please explain. Can he only depend now on hard-core Protestant Evangelicals, white supremacists and the greedy 1% plutocrats for his loyal support ?

Why have all the cable news channels taken down their Corona case counters? They were all still there this morning and tonight they’re gone. Is there some reason they decided not to show us the numbers?

^It affected the Dow.

^So out of sight, out of mind?

I want to be clear that I LOVE the DL Poll Troll. But, I am beginning to wonder what are the value of polls?

Polls? Data harvesting for the bot farms, R443.

Anyone else get a postcard labeled President Trump's Coronavirus Guidelines for America today?

I got one but I tore it up without reading it. I've already been sheltering in place for more than a week, I don't need that idiot to tell me what to do.

Now I kind of wish I read it just to see how bad it probably was. The ego of that idiot, call it President Trump's Guidelines. Like he came up with them himself or something. Always trying to direct attention to himself.

We're going to win this war on Easter.

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump

I am working very hard to help New York City & State. Dealing with both Mayor & Governor and producing tremendously for them, including four new medical centers and four new hospitals. Fake News that I won’t help them because I don’t like Cuomo (I do). Just sent 4000 ventilators!

We are registered Democrats in CT and received a call from the RNC with a one question poll: do you think the GOP and president are doing a good job at this time. Once we screamed no it went into a recording of how to donate. What.the.fuck.

Jesus Christ, he constantly speaks/types in a way that makes it seem as though he himself went door-to-door looking for ventilators and other suppilies.

Motherfucker, you sit on that fat ass watching FOX all day and signing whatever they put in front of you. STFU, you douche.

Trump is doing an excellent job, of exposing the US as a third rate. He did a wonderful job , of taking Obama's economy and dropping it down the shitter.

He has a tendency to describe things as "incredible." I would say that everything that comes out of his mouth is incredible.

OTOH, I sort of feel when he says things like "It would be great if we could get this done by Easter" he's (a) giving himself an out and (b) expressing what he and a lot of people feel--it would indeed be great.

Highly, highly unlikely, but great.

Sort of like if you say "it would be great if Brad Pitt showed up at my house and told me he wanted to fuck wildly for the rest of the day."

The “greatest” health care system in the world in display.

How many of these thousands of people hospitalized in NY have health insurance? Remember that woman who got a 30k bill for a 2-3 day hospital treatment? And she wasn't even in the ICU. How much will it cost if you're in the ICU for several days? How many people will be bankrupted?

Will someone explain this to me, please? When I read stuff like this it makes me question myself. Am I viewing Trump wrong?

President Trump is as popular as he's ever been right now

Analysis by Chris Cillizza, CNN Editor-at-large

Updated 12:18 PM ET, Wed March 25, 2020

(CNN)Here's an indisputable fact: President Donald Trump is as popular today as he has been since his first day in office.

In a new Gallup poll, 49% approve of the job Trump is doing as president while 45% disapprove, matching the highest his approval rating has ever been in Gallup surveys. A Monmouth University poll released on Monday showed Trump at 46% approval, again the best he has done in that poll in more than three years.

What accounts for Trump's rise? Simple: His response to the coronavirus crisis.

In the Gallup poll, 60% of Americans approve of the job Trump is doing in handling the crisis while 38% disapprove of how he has done. Six in 10 independents approve of how Trump has done on the coronavirus as do more than 1 in 4 (27%) of Democrats. In the Monmouth poll, 50% say Trump has done a good job with coronavirus while 45% said he has done a bad job.

The heightened approval for how Trump has managed this crisis -- particularly among independents and even Democrats -- is what is pushing up his overall approval numbers, which have been largely stagnant for years.

On one level, this isn't terribly surprising. Polling consistently shows a rallying effect around the president when major crises face the country. In the wake of the September 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, for example, President George W. Bush's approval rating soared into the high 80s and low 90s. There's a tendency for even partisans of the opposite party from the president to soften a bit in their perception of him as we are reminded of our common humanity and the need for our leaders to, well, lead us out of crisis.

On another, however, Trump's high approval ratings for how he has dealt with coronavirus and how he is handling the job more broadly might well shock people who have been keeping close track of his and his administration's performance on the pandemic.

After all, it's quite clear that the administration simply didn't take the threat of coronavirus seriously enough soon enough. And the testing capabilities for coronavirus in the US were decidedly slow. And Trump's public statements have been marked by inaccurate claims (the test is "perfect", the vaccine is coming fast, etc).

But what the Gallup and Monmouth numbers seem to suggest is that either a) people aren't following every single statement made by Trump on this matter or b) they don't hold him personally responsible for the hiccups along the way.

The average person seems to broadly believe that Trump is doing the best that he can in a very difficult circumstance. And that what he says on a daily basis matters less than the fact he is out there saying it, and assuring the country that this will all be over soon. (Nota bene: There's very little medical evidence to suggest Trump's optimism is rooted in established facts.)

It's important to keep this perspective in mind when analyzing the political impact this massive campaign of social distancing has as the medical world battles the virus. A large number of Americans are looking at Trump's behavior not from the 50-foot or even 500-foot level but the 50,000-foot level.

And at least so far, they like what they are seeing.

You should've stopped reading right after this.

I forgot to mention he's the Chuck Todd of Maggie Habermans

My mother who has defended Trump to a certain extinct when me and my sister have made anti-Trump comments said to me this morning, "I am not sure I believe anything he says anymore."

Typically, people support their leader during times of crisis. This is exactly why Trump is trying to create a parallel with war presidents

This approval of Trump is still far below approval for the Bushes during wars

and the approval will evaporate quickly

Once hundreds of thousands have died, probably

WH press briefing today at 5:00 PM.

R460 Exactly the pattern.. when there is any crisis of large magnitude, the American public rally around the leader, whoever it is. Hence the "wag the dog" trick leading up to an election. A military threat? We support the president... A natural disaster? We support the president...

.... until we don't. See Bush and Katrina. Support will evaporate quickly after the crisis has passed. A matter of timing though... if covid-19 is still prevalent in fall, and Trump is grandstanding about it, it would definitely help his election chanced.

Is it happening, r463?

^^^C-span.org says 5:30 and hasn't started yet.

“No one’s ever seen anything like it.”

Here we go.

Extra shit orange today.

NYC IS “by far the hottest spot!”

He's such a placid liar, it's amazing. Good for poker, nothing else.

LIVE! he's reading like a 10-yr. old giving a book report. If it's not written down, he doesn't remember it. Then he just riffs and bluffs to fill-in.

“By far our biggest problem. Maybe it will be, maybe it won’t be.”

Watching Property Brothers (and reading the synopsis of the bs presser here😑)

Ugh, I can't stand this motherfucker and his third grade vocabulary.

Olympics... every four years.... "always on even years people tell me"

.... math, not so good

“They tell me the Olympics have always been in even years. I guess it’s true.”

Everything is 'NEVER BEEN DONE BEFORE...EVER, EVER, EVER! FAMILY, FAMILY, FAMILY, Is there an echo, echo, echo...'

Those speech notes are literally like 3 sentences/page.

Does he need glasses or is his vision blurry?

I hope there are feisty reporters there today.

"As you know, I inherited an obsolete failed plan, and we have fixed it and made it much better for all Americans. I think even the Fake News would say I've done a great job there."

"So right now we have two big white ships, they have red crosses on them because, and not many people know this, but they gave red crosses to show they can rescye people, just like our gear Red Cross, they do great things. Great things."

"I've told Governor Cuomo, he's the mean brother, I'm just kidding, now Mario, their father, he was tough. Fair, very fair, but tough. I've told Andrew that because he recognized my great help to him and his state, I love New York, isn't that how it goes? I'm ordering 234,765.82 masks be sent to New York. Maybe I'll be invited to Albany for Easter Dinner, we'll see what happens, right?"

" Because America will be back, better and more profitable than ever by Easter. I'm told Melania and her son are looking forward to the White House Easter Egg Hunt. I don't know; he looks pretty tall to me!"

" And now I'll let the good doctor Fow-Chee speak and confirm what I've said."

Like a rocketship? Oh, are you referring to the Space Force....which is why you dismantled the pandemic team to fund?

This is why he never did press conferences. Sent Spicey and Huckabeast out to do the deed. They only let him do those helicopter things where he yelled things out over the propeller sound.

R480 His peons print his speech notes in giant font so he doesn’t have to wear reading glasses.

He's heavy into lying right now.

Blah, blah, lie, blather, lies, big lie that can be proven false, lie, lie, blather....

Non-profit organizations' "unwaving and unwavering devotion...."

Poor Dr. Fauci, has to be dragged out for show every day now so that the country doesn't go into a panic worrying that the Imbecile fired him or that Fauci himself quit.

"I hope there are feisty reporters there today."

They've gotten more and more fawning because it's a real coup to get in there. They all chuckled the other day on cue when Dotard made fun of Romney self-quarantining.

R482 is a Trump speechwriter!

One of his favorite crooks is up next.

“South Korea called today and said our testing is amazing.”

Fucking liar.

I want to punch Mnuchin so hard in the face that I break those expensive glasses.

Greed-head Mnuchin now. No wonder he's smiling. The thought of untold millions to skim.....

Has the Senate passed the bill yet?

I just got something about Trump.... his patter and tone isn't like comedian (what I've thought in the past), it's like the MC at a Kiwanis meeting in some small town.

... the banality of evil.

Has every speaker been instructed to start and end each speech with thanks to Trump?

R490, No, they didn't "chuckle". That's why Trump immediately denied he was being sarcastic, when a reporter challenged him on it. He saw that it had fallen flat.

R491, also known as a sixth grader in special needs English class with a particular fetish for the words, "we'll see what happens," "beautiful," "very," "powerful," and "strong."

R496 No. Bernie Sanders put out a statement saying he’d personally block the bill, single-handedly tanking the stock market.

R498 Yes

You'd better believe it, r498. Otherwise, his mood afterwards would be coal black.

Accordion hands = Lying to the point of being a fabulist.

God I hate this man.

"they've all been planning against us...." The whole Trump phenomenon explained.

Oh, God. Stop him!

Now he’s trashing the EU and NATO.

"I know the issue very well. Steve why don't you speak about it".

OMG, NATO was"abusing" the US because "they wouldn't pay."

"We've been treated very, very unfairly by the European Union."

This man is DEMENTED.

He chooses NOW to go off on his NATO rant again?!

They’ve had enough of him and his lies.

If the US has the best equipment, why are we buying the EU's equipment?

Mnuchin speaks with a weird clenched manner - almost like he's afraid a random cock will just fly into his mouth if he opens it too widely.

KCAL 9 is talking over him. They are about to put on Dr. Phil.

CBSN NY cut him off too, Maurice DuBois broke in and took over.

Here we go...off the rails.

Yep. They cut him off. I bet you'll only see him on FOX news soon.

What did she ask that caused his hissy fit? My dog was barking.

"Its lucky you have this group here or you wouldn't even have a country left."

Oh fuck him.

We are NOT “testing more than anyone.”

"How many deaths are acceptable to you?" Good one, reporter.

Biggest lying lie: the 4000 ventilators to NY are 20,000 short of the immediate need. People will die because of it. The Gov. is livid, not "happy".

Who are these reporters? I don't recognize any of them, including the chick in the ugly teal suit who set him off.

Wall? It's like an aging comedian at a bowling alley bar, doing the same tired routine... even he is bored with it.

Fake tan and a fake President. I cannot begin to tell you how much he makes me sick.

Ooh, a female reporter asked Donny a tough/nasty question and he got all mad at her. Poor baby. How unfair they are to him. He's the bestest brightest little president there is.

Time for the networks to turn him off!!!

[quote]"Its lucky you have this group here or you wouldn't even have a country left."

He. Fired. The. Pandemic. TWO. YEARS. AGO. Literally fired the people who do this for a living! He's bragging about bringing a hose after allowing the fire to spread and firing the Fire Dept a while ago.

Who was that planted shithead who mentioned the Kennedy Center?

HOW??? did this jerk ever get to be POTUS??

He's talking about SOUND-BITES!

And he gets ANOTHER question. there's a shocker. PRAVDA

Big, beautiful wall!

re “testing more than South Korea:” South Korea’s population is 51 million. Ours is 327 million. Testing “more than South Korea” means NOTHING you fucking fat lying turd.

All the local DC stations cut film off after about 20 minutes.

He continues to insist that nobody (meaning him) could ever imagine this could help. Another BIG LIE!

Can you imagine going through life believing anything this asshole says about anything? Sad.

So anyone who challenges him gets interrupted and this lJames O' Keefe-type shithead getting to have all of the questions

The only thing he ever says that is the truth is "I don't know."

R520, Interesting, his pronoun usage. "YOU wouldn't have a country left."

Almost like he thinks of himself as, oh, I don't know, Russian?

Imagine this could happen.

We know whom he considers to be "bad" journalists, please press him on who the "good" ones are.

DJT is incompetent, untruthful, corrupt, and damaging Horrible the Republican controlled Senate didn't remove this nitwit.

Why does this ding a ling always bring up South Korea.?'We did more than South Korea.' Well, idiot, this really only makes you look stupid because they were prepared! They are nestled up near China! There was SARS, swine flu. The stupidity is mind numbing.

One of the biggest reasons South Korea has brought the epidemic under control so rapidly is their extensive testing that was started EARLY. This POS standing up there bragging about how much more testing WE’RE doing than South Korea is vile.

Oh, Trump left before the tv channels cut him off!

Is he griping now that he can't just go up to attractive women and "hug and kiss" them, and grab them, because of "soshal dis-tan-cing".

"People want to get back to work. America can't shut down for three years. Many people want to get back to work."

This will be mercifully short.

Trust me; Machiavelli was a baby compared to these guys.

Cuomo played acquiesced today in his briefing and backtracked some comments, I wonder how long he can keep the facade up...

'Be best...'

Pence, shove that prop.

Pence pretending the Federal Government needs to use Google to find medical equipment, when Trump can ORDER factories to make masks and ventilators.

And Mikey? 432,000 tests out of 310,000,000 citizens ain't so great.

I dunno. Machiavelli had brains. These guys just have really aggressive ids and incredibly stupid whims and impulses.

R554, As long as it takes. Cuomo is fighting the good fight.

What is this bullshit “we will SAVE OUR LAND“ line of Pence’s?

Betsy DeVos is the worst cabinet member, and there are some really bad ones.

Medicine Woman's mouth reminds me of "Al's Junkyard" - all torn up!

I do like the orange duster.

This is hilarious! Enjoy the spin.

Donald J. Trump@realDonaldTrump·

The LameStream Media is the dominant force in trying to get me to keep our Country closed as long as possible in the hope that it will be detrimental to my election success. The real people want to get back to work ASAP. We will be stronger than ever before!

I hear that Fake News CNN just reported that I am isolated in the White House, wondering out loud, “when will life return to normal?” Does anybody really believe that? There was no leak, they made it up – they are CORRUPT & FAKE NEWS....

Finally we have Dr. Fauci alone at last ... Preach the truth, brother!

I hope they locked the door behind donald.

Mnuchin works in a building, a beautiful building, the most beautiful building in the whole world.

LMAO

Loved Nancy Pelosi's response. She kept using the phrase "science-based". A very polite way of saying, "shove your prayers up your ass!".

The idiot doesn’t even know that the Olympic games are held in years with even numbers. I’m satisfied knowing he’ll be denied the opportunity of attending one as a sitting president.

He actually commented that he did know, r568, but in his weak attempt to sound positive he said 'It's never happened before, it's a first, it's amazing, never been done, it's a first, it's byootiful.' I'm paraphrasing, of course, but he keeps hitting these incredibly WEAK changes due to the pandemic as pluses in an attempt to make his base the happy little toddlers they are.

the media is complicit in all this but it took them 4 years, a global pandemic and a complete economic meltdown to convince the press to turn their back on this fraud?

For the love of God, won't someone please SNEEZE IN MY FACE??!!

HOW I WISH AND HAVE FOR SOME TIME, one of these reporters, ANYONE, when called on, would instead of asking a question simply and calmly state the lies one by one and when trump tells him to be quiet and stop which of course he would, the reporter still goes on and does the ole "hand to the face" move and says "i'm done, you WORK FOR ME, you WORK FOR US, and your a damn incompetent liar and walk out....

of course they would never be in the briefing room again, their network or paper would fire them for disrespecting the president and so on.

HOW in the world by now, could any reporter/journalist LITERALLY not say to him "your lying, that's a lie, that's untrue, you're a liar" and so on! and yes, i would be willingly to lose my job doing so. I'm sure if i was a reporter/journalist qualified to be in that white house briefing room i could find work somewhere else whether in the field of news/journalism or not!

Because access is more important than integrity, R572

R573... sad but true, but for NO ONE to do this? really? are they, the reporters, journalists and organizations who employ them guilty of allowing this to go on for this long. shameful.

I think journalists find themselves in a quandary. The position of President, regardless of who is occupying the Oval Office, demands respect and courtesy. While it's true the current occupant has done so much damage to the office itself that it is hard for us to see beyond that, in time he will be gone, and a new occupant will be in its place; a new occupant who will carry with them the professionalism and empathy and intelligence and courage and all the other aspects of what a true President should be like. And thus, journalists will continue to be deferential and respectful. It's not about the occupant but about the office.

I wish one of them would throw their shoe at his face. He doesn’t have the quick reflexes to dodge it.

If Trump is at the Press Briefing today, I hope a reporter mentions that he can't "open the country". It's up to the governors and they're the ones who shut it down. He must be livid about this. Ha, ha.

Saw this from a Trumptard today on my local news forum regarding the relief bill passed. Why do these ignorant tards insist on lying about stuff that's so easily debunked? Do they think no one can google or fact check?

[quote]She already said she wants to change some language to include abortion clinics. If she does the bill goes back to the Senate and delays everything. Pelosi is pure evil..

I'm so tired of these dickheads who AREN'T actually pro-life. They're the most heartless people who pretend to care about babies. They couldn't give less of a shit about anyone's life, including babies when they actually come out as babies.

Trumpworld unloads on GOP ally as coronavirus attacks mount

"Where the hell is the president’s air cover?" said one ally upset over the silence of a super PAC aligned with Trump.

By ALEX ISENSTADT

03/26/2020 04:30 AM EDT

Donald Trump is getting hammered by millions of dollars in Democratic campaign ads depicting his response to the coronavirus as negligent and inept.

But the main super PAC backing his reelection has been silent in response — and Trump’s political advisers are not happy about it.

In interviews, more than a half-dozen White House aides, campaign officials and other Trump allies said they felt deserted by the group, America First Action, openly questioning why it’s leaving Trump exposed on the airwaves at the most vulnerable moment of his presidency.

“There is a major vacuum on the political front right now, with the White House focused on coronavirus response and the campaign, rightly so, echoing the White House,” said Chris LaCivita, who as chief strategist of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth orchestrated the 2004 John Kerry takedown.

“With attacks coming from all over, the simple question is: Where the hell is the president’s air cover?”

The campaign is legally barred from communicating directly with the super PAC. Trump’s reelection effort itself is not currently attacking Biden on the airwaves during the pandemic because it wants to focus on echoing the president's message.

Liberal groups are collectively spending millions of dollars in swing states portraying Trump as an erratic leader at a time of national crisis who failed to recognize the threat the pandemic posed. Joe Biden’s campaign has launched a brutal spot savaging the president for repeatedly downplaying the coronavirus and then complaining that he could have done more had he known about it earlier. And a super PAC aligned with the former vice president is airing a commercial declaring that Trump has “failed” in his response.

Yet America First Action, the principal pro-Trump super PAC that has received the blessing of the White House, has been quiet. While the administration and reelection campaign focus on developing a daily message surrounding the crisis, senior Trump aides contend the super PAC should be leading the charge against Biden.

The angst underscores a central dilemma confronting Trump and his political advisers: How to wage a reelection campaign and respond to attacks while Americans are dying and daily life is grinding to a halt. The president’s sprawling political apparatus once envisioned launching a massive advertising blitz defining the presumptive nominee, but the idea was scuttled once the coronavirus took hold.

Kelly Sadler, an America First spokeswoman, declined to comment on the group’s plans. She said the pro-Biden groups, including Priorities USA, were squandering funds on misleading commercials while the president notched generally favorable approval ratings for his handling of the crisis.

“We are more than happy the clown car at Priorities USA continues to waste liberal donor money as they’ve done year after year. Rest assured, we have plenty of time to put Sleepy Joe to bed,” Sadler said, using Trump’s nickname for the former vice president.

He fired the pandemic team to take that money and give it to the 1%.

The office of president has always been respected because of the assumption that it would always be filled by someone worthy of it. No one foresaw a time when it would be filled by an overgrown toddler.

That jackass, dumbya, should have been a clue, r575.

Bush 2 bad as he was is not as incompetent as Rump.

Apparently there is a story in The Globe and Mail, which Canadian PM Trudeau confirmed, that states Trump wants to send the US military to the US/Canadian border to ensure no Canadians are crossing into the US.

I have news for the Orange Idiot (who keeps getting more and more insane as the days go by)... with the US having the fastest rate of #COVIDー19 cases in the world, no Canadian is trying to illegally enter the US. It's a country with a fucked up healthcare system and a idiot at the steering wheel who believes lives are less important than his re-election.

^The Administration and Advisors are doing anything to make Trump appear as if he is in charge and look presidential because of this mess he created. Canada and Mexico became much stricter with their border days ago. It's mot such a good headline letting it be known that those two countries don't want any US Americans in their countries.
