Dr. Anthony Fauci, the nation’s top infectious disease expert, advised a “wait and see” approach for now on whether it will be possible to hold the Democratic and Republican conventions currently scheduled for August, given the coronavirus pandemic.
He added that it’s also too soon to say that it’s safe to hold an election in November…
Take that, Donnie!
It must be totally exhausting for Dr Fauci to get up every morning and start threading the needle to try and get factual information past The Dotard’s self serving crap. I think he does a far better job than Dr Birch, I sometimes wonder if they are coordinating below the radar to keep him from just eliminating doctor’s advice totally
Who the hell do you think you are Fauci?
Dumb Fuck Donnie knows more then you will ever know.
I’m amazed that Trump hasn’t started blasting Fauci for his horrible mismanagement of the AIDS crisis yet.
Maybe he’s planning to accuse him of murdering an intern instead.
Too bad that one is already taken.
“Meanwhile governors in Florida and Georgia each offered up their own states…”
One used to find such dangerous psychopaths only among the ranks of the Manson Family.
Or the People’s Temple.
Maybe Heaven’s Gate.
Now, they’re an entire political party…
Trump’s demand for an immediate green light seems to undermine ongoing uncertainty about just what the landscape of the pandemic will look like in the coming months as public health officials continue to study the crisis and provide best guess projections.
@zoe_richards “undermining ongoing uncertainty” implies he’s decreasing uncertainty which he isn’t. Perhaps “isn’t realistic given ongoing uncertainty…”
And welcome to TPM! 
It’s going to be hilarious watching the RNC collect 50,000 or so Releases/Hold Harmless/Acceptance of RIsk agreements…
“Write an X here, Bubba.”
I can’t imagine the psych stress involved in knowing that your words will affect how many people die from this, but also knowing that angering a certain orange toddler could jeopardize your ability to contribute to lowering that number.
… has been remarked upon before:
Enlarge my life with multitude of days!
In health, in sickness, thus the suppliant prays;
Hides from himself his state, and shuns to know,
That life protracted is protracted woe.Time hovers o’er, impatient to destroy,
And shuts up all the passages of joy:
In vain their gifts the bounteous seasons pour,
The fruit autumnal, and the vernal flow’r,
With listless eyes the dotard views the store,
He views, and wonders that they please no more.— Samuel Johnson (1749)
“Litigation”
A very scary 10-letter word.
The approach that Trump is taking with North Carolina Gov. Roy Cooper (D) is the kind of ass-hole adversarial style business dealing that Trump would try all the time - insanely demand that somebody "guarantee " that some uncontrollable conditions will be met … scream “MAKE IT HAPPEN” at somebody when faced with a delay due to rain, snow, fire, product supply breakdown …
It would not surprise me if … at the opportune moment … mid-September? early October?
Fauci … who appears to be currently riding in his own little caboose…
hitched to the tail end of the “GREAT TRUMP OVERLAND EXPRESS” impending train-wreck
… gets the “final straw” shoved at him … and gets thoroughly fed up … pulls the coupling pin … separates from the Trump train … slips over on to a parallel set of tracks and opens fire on Trump and every clown in the whole damn administration - Trump could go berserk - try to gag - order him into silence … Fauci could say “I’m 79 years old - I’ll be 80 in December - F-you … I’m not shutting up - you’re killing people with your stupidity … people deserve better”
The article read: “Meanwhile governors in Florida and Georgia each offered up their own states …” but they left off the rest of the sentence- as human sacrifices.
Welcome Zoe, first article I’ve seen from you.
Give Donnie time…
Yep. That’ll get him fired for sure…
Trump will start retweeting photos of Fauci being hanged in effigy in 3…2…1…
And quite a resume - she’s written about local politics in Uganda, sustainability in Paris and worked on documentaries and broadcast news here in the States. Oh, and a masters degree in journalism from Columbia.
Nice catch, Josh…
