He’s probably got a lot of hearing loss, it happens at his age. So in addition to never having listened to anything anyone’s said except maybe Putin, he’s probably no longer able to hear what they say.

And a man whose vanity won’t allow him to wear glasses or even the mask, that might save his life, will never be seen with a hearing aid.
Like with everything else, he’ll fake it and try to bullshit his way through any the questions.
And if that doesn’t work, he’ll become abusive and his staff and other enablers will cover for him.
At the very least, it’ll give him another shiny object to have folks chase after.
All while Americans die in larger numbers, more quickly than at any time since at least WW2.

55 minutes late now. If he’s spent that time cooped up with non-sycophants and being questioned by the media, and is now faced with what to do about wearing a mask or picking a fight with a female attorney general in a swing state, then I bet he does not appear on tv at the Ford plant. He’ll meet with executives, get back on President Obama’s plane and tweet about how mean everybody is.

So to recap. He can’t see. He can’t hear. His brain is whack. All that’s left for him is a Sharpie and redrawing the path of a hurricane.

He has to reassure himself that he’s alive.

Apparently the Ford event is over. It was on FOX but not on the White House feed.

Ah yes, but we saw how well that went with the corrupt Rethuglikan Senate.

I’ve got to put up those watermelon rind pickles.

I don’t know what’s happening. He’s speaking at Ford, it is now on White House live.
I’m not taking that bet. But I’ll be happy to get in on your action if others are gullible enough.
Oh, he is all over the place. Off script. Squinting. BSing because he can’t read.
When his tongue goes rogue, he changes his sentence. A lot of his ad libs are recoveries.
Will you send me some? I have been dying for watermelon rind pickles for a couple of years.
I know I could make some, but they taste better when someone else does it.

I was just joking. Having read all the first-person farmwife accounts I could get my hands on - bread baking and watermelon pickles seem to be the chief activities after the kitchen floors were scrubbed.

My mother used to make them.
I have her recipe, but I’ve never been able to find the time somehow.
Hers were delicious.

Glad the chairs spoke up and even put some threats on the record.
But as for this:
They recommend that if Ackard does remain in the acting role, he ought to resign from the Office of Foreign Missions and recuse himself from any cases involving that office or that of the Secretary.
Stronger than this would have been to insist that Ackard withdraw his name from consideration. The relevant statutes require that an IG be qualified to actually do the job – and Ackard is manifestly not qualified. This alone should prevent him from being appointed, in an “acting” capacity or otherwise.

I just love them and haven’t had them in ages.
I’m going to have to break down and make them myself most likely. It’s not the time of year here to start making a bunch of stuff though - the humidity today is 75%. It’s only about 90 but the humidity makes up for it. hahahaha
I’m so homesick for Taos, for my house and garden and desert weather.

“Ford never made ventilators before and now they’re a leader in the world. That’s a good thing.”
He just said that China released the coronavirus to hurt the US economy.

O good god. So they killed off how many Chinese just for this?
They couldn’t attack our economy the old fashioned way? Call in our debt? They seem to be having no problem taking over as the world power, stepping into the vacuum Trump has created out of the United States.
