Someone needs their daily spotlight dose…

Someone in the press better ask The Backup Vengeful IMPeetus WTF kind of game is he playing now against the governor(s)/states?

Meanwhile…its a worthwhile read…

Historically, pandemics have forced humans to break with the past and imagine their world anew. This one is no different. It is a portal, a gateway between one world and the next.

We can choose to walk through it, dragging the carcasses of our prejudice and hatred, our avarice, our data banks and dead ideas, our dead rivers and smoky skies behind us. *Or we can walk through lightly, with little luggage, ready to imagine another world. And ready to fight for it.

Trump’s mishandling of the pandemic is mainly not due to incompetence. It’s intentional. On the one hand he wants to suppress the numbers on people who’ve come down with the virus, thus the lack of tests, and on the other hand he’s punishing parts of the country that he views as anti-Trump, thus the lack of masks and other PPE, and ventilators. He WANTS people to die, but only certain people. He just doesn’t want it to be publicized. The man is ferociously venal and the only thing that moves him more than the need for adoration is his thirst for revenge. DON’T WATCH THIS DISGUSTING PR STUNT!

Why is it so early today? You know it’s for golf or something like that, although everyone knows that Saturday is dead for ratings.

The sooner in the day, the lower the daily death count. It’s all about the numbers…

Why, TPM?

Why are you showing this?

This is every bit as wrong as the major networks doing it.

That’s why, saw a story on CNN, how dump is going in to prime time with this garbage costing stations advertising revenue and also superseding the local news which would give people real information they need and replacing it with dump bullshit praise

I will watch comments here and maybe on the twitter, but I cannot, will not watch dotard-19.

Because it gives everyone on the boards a cathartic thread to scream about the massive incompetence and stupidity going on out there.

Sorry. I don’t watch that ghoul killing Americans and the feckless press being props, foils, or later scrubbing the comments leaving out important things -looking at you, New York Times.

Law and Order:SVU is on ION TV y’all.

No. No. Not, again. Aren’t things bad enough? I’m begging you media, either get in his face - and stay there - or don’t show up.

Someone up thread asked why the briefing was so early. It’s not that the weekend briefing is early; the weekday briefings are late. A few weeks ago they did the weekday briefings around 3 or 3:30, but the split-screen visual of the stock market starting to slide as soon as Trump started talking and continuing until he shut up was just too pointed. So weekday briefings got moved until after the stock market closed. Haven’t seen anyone say that, but that’s my take on it.
