Oh goody. Another barf fest of useless bullshit
How much would you pay for this incompetent pandemic response? Wait, there’s more! It’s also corrupt! Now what would you pay?
Why so early? Is he going somewhere?
It’s good Friday and the stock market is closed…so anything he says won’t crash it until Monday
Here’s a good use for a Ginsu knife…
That would imply an awareness his words causes uncertainty in the stock market. I’m not buying it.
It is critical that Trump express or acknowledge the unusual territory the US, with 18,000 dead already, has entered. Testing blindness remains a problem as do the structural issues with our healthcare system, intergovernmental relations, public health and economic literacy.
Please, Mr. President, do not add more cyanide (or hydroxychlorquine sulfate) to this already toxic stew.
Right, like that’s going to happen.
It’s too early in the day out here on the Left Coast to start drinking, dammit!
Getting old, I guess.
The man who is a pessimist before 48 knows too much; if he is an optimist after it, he knows too little. – Mark Twain
Even his allies are telling trump to STFU. But he will go blithely on without a care, except for himself, cuz ratings.
Mimosa -if you can even call that drinking.
I came for the barf; staying for the bullshit.
Got the orange juice, but fresh out of champagne. I’ve got some vodka though, that’ll do.
Bloody Mary works too.
From that graph, it would appear presumptuous for us to say we’ve flattened the curve. Maybe, but need more data points. So, no way we should be talking about taking vacations in June.
What’s our over/under for today on start time?
He knew about Trump, the eternal “optimist”, didn’t he? Twain had a gift for spotting a bullshitter, sort of being one himself.
He will
He has nothing else. No national testing response, no accounting of numbers of ill or dead Americans… He uses ventilator access as political favor. He has fed agents steal PPE shipments and they do ot get to the intended places. There is no national coordinated response to this crisis. The economy is dying and he does NOTHING about any of this but fret over his ratings. And he has the balls to say he is a great war time leader
It is really hard right now to keep my head out of a bourbon bottle
@jw1 I don’t know what my hole cards are… I seem to be holding 2of diamonds, a King of Clubs and a 10 of Spades (is Texas Hold em a 5 or 7 card game?)
