That would be amusing.

Reminds me of those old jokes about using Wite-Out(R) on a computer screen.

Does Vegas have odds on which right wing network will ask the most retarded loaded question yet? Faux? OAN? Newsmax? Is Breitbart in the running? I’m guessing NYT will pull the come-from-behind win.

Unsurprisingly, Former President Trump Will Appear On Fox News Tonight

Still looking for post-Presidential relevance.

Biden Is Expected To Announce New Vaccination Goal During Presser

I’m seeing more and more posts on FB about people getting the vaccine, at least the first dose. He could very well make the new target at the rate things are going.

The criticisms from the media thus far seem pretty petty considering how long he has been in office and how much slime he is still cleaning up, all the while without his full cabinet in place due to Rep stalling.

All the while blaming Joe for his lack of bipartisan cooperation.

Along with highlighting his first legislative victory with the passage of the $1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief package, President Biden will announce his new vaccine goal of 200 million doses in arms in his first 100 days, according to multiple reports.

Biden’s administration is on pace to fulfill the President’s new vaccine goal. The President has already surpassed his initial goal of getting 100 million COVID-19 vaccine doses in arms in his first 100 days in office.

Promises made, then overdelivered on.

Its nice to finally have a competent and truthful President.

Anyone wanna place bets on the T**** news conference tonight that T takes full credit for that success?

I honestly believe all this will be to bring the spotlight back on T because he’s become irrelevant and he can’t stand it.

He’s already said (on Faux, I believe) that they were vaccinating at a rate of 1 million per day when he left office.

Which wasn’t even close to true, of course, but how does the truth come out when it’s not wanted?

Is anyone following the live blog?

Is Joe late to the press conference or is nothing of consequence being said? There hasn’t been an update since 8 after the hour and the conference started 10 or 12 minutes ago…

I’m central time zone and the article said 1:15p eastern. Thought it would’ve kicked off by now.

We used to hate that T**** was so late to things. I was kind of hoping that timeliness to appointed hours would’ve been restored here. Oh, well…
