Doctors And Media Torch Second Evasive Briefing On Trump’s COVID Condition | Talking Points Memo

Exactly - it’s all a facade. That coat is so stiffly starched it could stand up by itself.
It’s not something he’s been wearing in anxious attendance on 45*, or even sat down in front of his computer in.

Come out, come out, Melanie and Christie. The joke is over.

You can all have a good laugh together in the Rose Garden with that Christian Right hypocrite Amy Barrett again while another 1,000 Americans die today of the virus…while you punked your own countrymen who are afraid to send their children to school or visit their grandparents in the hospital as they die.

True, eventually. But if he dies without his persona and the trumpanzees being humiliated, it will take longer.
I want him alive, but on a ventilator, until Jan. 21, then recovered to sit through his trials and lawsuits.

I was wondering if had a list of 205 card-carrying Communists in the state department inside that folder

blinding white stiffly starched lab coat says “I do nothing useful at the hospital. I never touch patients. That’s what nurses are for.”

They forgot to point out the “Dummies guide to taking care of a Dummy”, in his lower right jacket pocket. Probably due for a rewrite.

I make it ignorance of what DO means. MDs and DOs have the SAME medical training, except DOs get 200 additional training on homeopathic treatments. Same medical school, same internship, same residency requirements. They take essentially the same tests for certification and take a similar oath.

MOST MDs become specialists. Most DOs become primary care doctors. Conley may be a quack or have a misfiring moral and ethical compass, but it isn’t because he is a DO with a specialty in ER.

I have no idea what makes successful doctors destroy their careers for trump. It’s truly a mystery.

It’s a shame and scary to think that Jared and Ivanka, the court whisperers, are probably more privy to national security matters and intelligence than Speaker Pelosi.

Usually there is a daily theme and purpose to the President’s misinformation. This kind of random misinformation is entirely unhelpful for the media to construct a “both sides” narrative around.

This is a real clusterfuck, and would not have ever happened with real leadership.

What makes anyone compromise their lives for Fairway Caligula?
We could ask Michael Cohen, he wasn’t particularly clear about just what got him to sign on with the scammer in chief. It might shed some light on the question, particularly now that Dear Leader’s day are seemingly numbered and yet others continue to make the same mistake.

Was it here on TPM or somewhere else I heard this: “What do you call the student who graduates at the bottom of his/her class in medical school? Doctor.”

100% of my sympathies go to any & all service staff that might have been infected. To the 206 well-heeled motherfucking Trump donors, enjoy your just desserts, with an extra helping of karma sauce.

I don’t know why the Secret Service did not mobilize a vehicle like the Pope Mobile. Something that has a bulletproof glass enclosure that can be towed like a child’s wagon. That would be much safer than a bulletproof airtight limo. I hope the Administration gets one so that Preshitident can have more rallies. Same thing with Airforce One: get a covered wagon that can be towed and disinfected with bleach and UV light shoved up the tailpipe.

The Secret Service was also letting military personnel kiss him and the First Escort. The Secret Service needs to be re-trained after this kissing fiasco.

It’s better to look good than to make your patients feel good…
