Reporters Call Out WH For Flouting Social Distancing Rules, Using Media As Political ‘Prop’

Or they can just tell their employers that they won’t be there. Get together as a group to send in one person with assigned questions from the others.

Fuck this petty little man.

He’s out of his mind. He stands in front of them and claims the virus is over – he beat it of course, he the great Trump – and meanwhile, it’s on the rise all over. He touts the stupid jobless figures as if they mean something, as if we’re not still in the deepest hole we’ve seen in decades. Tomorrow he’s going to be signalling complete victory because the market closed 800 points higher. Or did he do that already today? It’s hard to follow his inanity so I don’t listen.

Have to add, the markets are as crazy as Trump. Desperate not to believe we’re in a long term crisis and it will be slim pickings as far as money to be made.

This is Trump’s plan to eviscerate the WH Press Corps. By forcing them closer together, they are all more likely to get infected by COVID-19, thus greatly thinning the number of reporters inclined to ask Trump “nasty” questions.

Just the other day he was saying again how much he likes Modi and what a great job Modi is doing uniting India. He knows that is a stone lie.

Well there is hardly time to address just the lies… that will be the restriction.

Hazmat suits. They actually could do that, and he’d freak.

If I were one of them, I’d do it. It would be worth my job. And I have a feeling it might launch a far more important career.

His idea of uniting is intimidating the other side enough to shut them up. He hasn’t been able to do that here to us, but Modi’s done a better job over there and Trump is in love with him because of it. Of course Modi’s losing losing his grip now with the women’s and student protests, but he had a good ride, and Trump probably figures Modi can just shoot the protesters and can get back on top again. India’s that kinda place, right?

Mindset of Team Trump and all of Donnie’s mindless minions:
Testing is overrated, vaccines are unnecessary, social distancing is unAmerican, and masks are for losers.

The sell off was investors making money and 401ks losing it. The Investment bank then reinvest when the market is down, and juice it up so folks put their money back in, then they sell again when the smoke a mirrors clear…

Rinse repeat. The stock market isn’t the economy. Its is a slot machine with the back of it wide open for the connected to fiddle with the reels a put in their coins at the right time.

Is it possible that there is simply zero coverage of the Biden campaign? Even at TPM?

Even as they both attack the idea of voting by mail, President Donald Trump and his new press secretary may have voted by mail illegally, using residential addresses on their registrations that were not their residences.

That sounds like planning. Planning is a lot like thinking, and thinking is not the president’s strong suit. Surely it was staff who set this up to please trump.

When it comes to scamming, he can think. That’s the only kind of thinking he’s good at. And this was a scam.
