President Trump and the White House coronavirus task force are scheduled to hold a briefing at 5 p.m. ET. Trump is increasingly facing scrutiny over his defense of protesters demonstrating against stay-at-home orders.
23 variations of they’re good people, they’re exercising their Constitutional rights, and their Dem Governors are nasty, power hungry tyrants will be presented.

Count me in.
b/t/w…I see that TPM dispensed with the fiction of calling this a “task force briefing”. It’s a series of farewell addresses
I think I have an addiction problem. I am addicted to the comments on these “briefings”. Dang, why am I putting myself through this? Because I can’t allow myself to be ignorant of the Donald’s actions. This just keeps getting uglier by the day.
I know, right. It’s so awful but I can’t seem to stop looking.
He’ll be late for the shit show, per normal. And he will lie, lie, lie. Hopefully, the press will pick up the pace like they started yesterday. It is the only way that we can hope for a cerebral hemorrhage event.
If Trump loves these protesters so much he should go and mingle with them, closely, and particularly among the ones who are not wearing face masks.
He is going to have some increasingly tall explaining to do in the coming days and weeks and the answers he will give will expose him more and more as a would-be tyrant who will stop at nothing to get re-elected.
My bumper sticker: “Cerebral Hemorrhage in 2020!”
It’s like a 50-car pileup – that’s still spinning down the road right towards us.
I hope a reporter will ask about Trump’s education secretary having connections to one of the right-wing groups fomenting mob actions.
We live in hope . . .
Well, of course he should be facing scrutiny, because it’s in direct contravention of his own federal guidelines on opening up the economy. I hope reporters take him to task over that today.
Stupid is as stupid does
I’m scheduled for a video happy hour with my book group at that time. We could be discussing The Cat in the Hat Comes Back and it would have more relevance to real life than one of his briefings. Illigetimi non carborundum, ya’ll.
Follow-up for the next “testing” question: “Everything you have told us about testing has proven to be a lie. Are you lying now, and why should we believe anything you say?”
Nah, he’ll be too busy exclaiming as to all the good people that are out among the protesters.
And the reporters? They won’t utter a single peep about this. Not a word. Too fearful.
The post written below yours exemplifies authoritarian** rule.
Trump wants things open, so the R governors follow the “leader”
** authoritarians are either at your feet or at your throat
What are the odds he’d going to have a giant beefcake poster of Andrew Cuomo and his nipple rings in the background, that he can occasionally glance at for…inspiration?
please oh please oh please
