  1. It's time for the reporters to go for the juggler*. Hold his feet to the flames. The pressers this week have been nothing but bullshit, self aggrandizing propaganda. They know his stock bullshit responses by now. Throw it back in his face & demand specific answers & tactics to battle this pandemic.

  2. Trump presser about to start. Drinking game thoughts? Take a drink whenever:

    • mentions shutting travel down from China
    • "nobody saw this coming"
    • obsolete system made it worse, he fixed it
    • take a shot + beer whenever he attacks a reporter

    Been getting curbside from local restaurants once a day but don't know how long that will sustain some of them. Moutons in Cedar Park has laid off all staff minus the manager & a cook.

    Went to Whitestone Brewery on Thursday & stocked up on plenty of beer, and extended my pub club membership while there. The owner gave me a look of great thanks & pain.

    You’re right, you can only catch and spread coronavirus if there are more than 10 people in the room.

     

    I'm finding myself having to be the voice of reason/borderline asshole amongst my friends re: social gatherings. We're talking about a group of neighbors, married couples, most of whom are in their early 60s (I'm 50). Most have known one another for close to 10 years, have had lots of BBQs together, hung out at the neighborhood pubs, traveled together, etc. 

    They were all gung ho last weekend for a St Paddy's day celebration & went out. We stayed in (hey, I was smoking a brisket). I kept getting texts from them, pics of the gang in large groups of strangers reveling. This was just a week after many of them had gone to the McGuire's 5K fun run in Pensacola along with several thousand runners.

    I caved a bit & went to a house gathering on Thursday. There were 8 of us total. They sat around the kitchen table drinking beer. I drank mine while playing with their dogs in the living room. They want a traveling happy hour 2-3X a week with each of us hosting. I've told them they're going to have to proceed without me unless the weather is nice enough we can do it in a backyard. 

    The worst part is that three of them would be extremely high risk due to their age & pre-existing respiratory issues. They know it's a serious situation, but they feel like getting together & talking about what a mess this is somehow is worthwhile.

  5. Smart guy?

    Trump's feelings are getting hurt by the reporter asking him if he's putting too much confidence in a drug in order to put a positive spin on the situation.

     

    "I think you're a terrible reporter. You're a nasty person. That's really bad reporting. Get back to reporting, not sensationalism. It might work, it might not. I've been right a lot."

    What a fuckstain.

  6. "We've learned a lot. We've learned a lot about relying on other countries. Some good and some not so good."

    This is the greatest display of leadership incompetence ever. Only the sacks of the world would think he's done anything but mismanage the fuck out of this pandemic.
