President Trump and the White House coronavirus task force will hold a briefing at 5 p.m. ET.
I know he sees this as free advertising that the media gobbles up, like 2016 (and up to today). But how does he see this as positive at this point? Rome burns, Nero fiddles. Thatās what the majority are seeing, I would imagine.
(Besides after every one of these shitmesses, Iām left with a sense of doom that carries me well into the night).
Somebody put this slime bag out of his misery or heās going to make us all more nuts. It was horrible enough hearing from him through tweets in the āNOrMaLā times. We just donāt need this.
They watch, so we donāt have to.
Questions: how many nets will actually broadcast this? When will most of them cut away for repeats of Wheel of Fortune, lest they lose their viewership? How many nets will simply refuse to spend one minute of their airtime on this?
Iām only here for the comments.
Media. You need a 12 step program. Stop covering these in real time.
Not only does he need to do it for his own psyche; and not only does he see it as his best bet; itās also the only thing he knows to do in the circumstances.
Ask not what the comments can do for you ā¦
I canāt even do the comments any more because itās all about the crazy inept criminal in chief saying one outrageous thing after another. Iāve overloaded.
We all need a mental health vacation from this fool.
Iām watching the āSummer Houseā marathon on Bravo TV - Andy Cohen is recovering from his CV infection at home, so itās the least I can do.
Even though itās more than the Pres is doing for him.
I donāt have TV, so I canāt check, but by all reports theyāre more and more regarding this as pointless. If anyone at them makes news you can easily do an item on it, but as a day to day exercise itās the worst thing, from the media perspective: itās boring. Trumpās pathological self-puffery is too much of a good thing at this point. Penceās misty-eyed adulation is getting really old too. Trump doesnāt grasp that the same bullshit day after day grows stale; he doesnāt understand how his talking is bullshit or how it might bore people. He doesnāt understand how stupid he looks standing there pretending to listen. He doesnāt understand, well, anything.
Never knew it could be so pleasurable drinking from a fire hose.
Buckle up, here we goā¦
I canāt watch them. Iāll just wait for the fact checking later. I understand that CNN and MSNBC are going to bag them from here on out. My local stations have been cutting them off for the 6 oāclock news all along, thankfully.
And, yet, the base stays with him.
I remember during the waves of tariffs being applied, soybean farmers who were having their livelihoods destroyed said if he knew, he would do something about it. Itās a cult, what can I tell you? Itās not rational and never was.
Have you ever considered that the ābaseā is made up of equally crazy people?
You donāt have to be crazy to behave irrationally, though.
I think itās free-base.
Thatās the only thing I can think of that would keep them on task with the Orange Lipidomaā¦
I know what you mean. How often have I thought it would be nice to just ignore him and let him rant and rave. Unfortunately, due to his position, his rantings can have serious consequences. That I canāt ignore and need to keep up of with his shenanigans so I donāt become blindsided. I cannot stand to watch him or listen to his voice so just read the comments to get the gist of what he is saying and doing.
