White House economic adviser Larry Kudlow on Sunday attempted to defend President Trump’s flurry of executive orders signed the day before, despite arguing recently that only Congress had the authority to address unemployment insurance benefits.
A trade advisor trading in whopper lies…
Peter Navarro is not the doctor either.
Here is a timeline of the Trump maladministration’s view of the pandemic. It reads like this should start in Jan and run through today, but it’s just that past month of July.
Nobody cares what the CDC says or recommends, it’s all about the smoke and mirrors.
And we’ve covered the part about how states will be unable to cover 25% of the enhanced UE, but they too are fucking broke. WaPo or NYT needs to consult the reporters in state that cover their capitals and ask them how this is going to play out in state houses.
A lackluster performance by Larry Kudlow, an actor well past his prime who confuses simpering with acting.
Why do you keep booking Larry Kudlow on your television program? Is it because you hate America or just me personally?

Quarter pounder of lies, with an secret sauce of misdirection and confussion.
You’re not an economic advisor either, but that doesn’t stop you.
You stupid motherfuckers are going to be walking back a lot more than this, Nostrils.
You’re not an economist either.
Oh! Mark Warner threatening to spill the beans on the Senate floor.
Ahead of Friday’s disclosure from the administration, Democrats’ worries about Russian interference in 2020 had reached such a fever pitch that some were even contemplating the most extreme step possible: publicly disclosing classified intelligence on the House or Senate floor, where senators are shielded from repercussions under the Speech or Debate clause of the U.S. Constitution.
“I’m not going to take anything off the table,” Warner, a member of the Gang of Eight, which receives the highest-level intelligence briefings offered to Congress, said in an interview Thursday. “I have not given up hope that we won’t get that information out. But it is absolutely incumbent that the American people know.”

The Onion?
But he’s got that Village Idiot thing down pat.
“Well, I’m not the lawyer, and I probably spoke out of turn there because I worked all week with our counsel’s office and they proved to me that we could use the Stafford Emergency Act and that we could repurpose funds to do that,” Kudlow said. “So I probably shouldn’t have said that.”
A little OT, but has anyone heard from Louie Gohmert? Or Wilbur “Used Condom” Ross, who almost certainly doesn’t have and never had and never will have the coronavirus?
And where was the Democratic counterpoint to this discussion?
Oh, that’s right - only the GOP position gets Sunday morning talk show gigs…
Kudlow: “you must have mistaken me for someone who knows a thing.”
Ah, Cipollone resurfaces. We can breathe…another shit show
You know, I wonder if Kudlow even has a septum anymore?
On Saturday afternoon, the President signed four executive orders on coronavirus relief Saturday, which included providing up to $400 in unemployment benefits, after Democrats and the White House failed to reach an agreement on a relief bill. However, Trump’s memorandum of unemployment insurance benefits asks states to cover 25% of the cost. Unemployment benefits previously ran at $600 a week.
OK. First of all. Which is the lower figure, $600 or $400? $400? So that said, maybe there’s a more accurate way to describe this action than saying “included providing up to $400”? Maybe using the verb, “to lower,” for example? Just saying. JFC.
Second, it’s no longer an excuse that you’re an interview show and you have to have people from the administration to be “balanced.” It’s not balance to have proven, constant liars on to crawfish from what they said two days ago. It’s a disservice. It’s aid and comfort to the enemy, is what it is. If you can’t find a way to say how things are, find another job. JFC again.
ETA by the way some of my friends may want to rub it in a bit that I’ve used this excuse myself in the past, saying hey it’s a TV interview show and they need a body to take pictures of and a mouth to provide the give and take. You can’t just not have any of them on and do the show the way it’s been done since the early days of television. I wanted to point out their dilemma. Now I think the only solution is not do shows that way any more, because we have a literally traitorous and utterly corrupt major party that does not describe reality, campaign, or govern in good faith. You can’t amplify the voices of people active in that party or sympathetic to them without hurting people. How many people are literally dead because of this party’s corruption? How many thousands? So no more of these shows, news industry. They’ve become obsolete and harmful.
