I could use a cruder term, but Azar is just another Trump fellator. Period.

Keep gargling those balls, Alex.

They say that the Russians actually had a School of Fellatio.

Now the GOP connection to Russia all starts to make sense.

I would assume test kits are being doled out one at a time by imPotus and his famiily minions. Make nice or no kit for you.

Azar should be tested … for evidence of neural activity.

The WH keeps saying people opposed the prior order on China, but I don’t recall anyone opposing it. There was likely criticism of it being a half-measure but not otherwise.

Expect the “Azar is being replaced” tweet about 7:00 pm tomorrow.

Are all these adults really that afraid being yelled at? What power does Trump have over them? I’d have told him to pound sand and called a few journalists on the way out.

Replaced by whom? Donnie Jr? Kris Kobach? Matt Whitaker (he has the biggest test kits)?

Prescient, my ass.

That was my take away from the last press conference…

Everything was fawning like Trump is running the whole show.

Doesn’t the WH realize the more they say that Trum0 is directing things the more panicked the market and the world gets?

His Oval Office address should have said…

“I just want everyone to know I am out of the decision loop for all public health related issues”

I expect that instead of a real time drop in Dow futures while he spoke we may have saw things go the other way.

So I have to wonder what they have on this guy.

Blink three times, Alex, if you actually mean “please, let me do my job for just this week or two, this moment is critical, please, God, don’t fire me”

Someone has naked photos of Azar somewhere, probably with Falwell, Jr. and the pool boy.

Actually I expect that Azar grasps the gravity of the situation. I expect that he expressed his concerns and was replaced by Ben Carson in the next Briefing as a punishment.

This is Azar towing the line so he can stay in the loop

Someone unqualified who has shown enough devotion to Dear Leader. Maybe Matt Gaetz or Louis Gohmert.

The words bold and new seem to be the operative words to describe Trump’s lack of action. He and other cabinet members need to resign.
