An hour after Modly spoke, President Trump was asked at his own early-evening press conference whether the skipper was being punished for trying to help his sailors. “No, I don’t think so at all,” Trump said. “I don’t agree with that at all. Not at all, Not even a little bit.”
 

Remember when Trump let a murderous sociopathic SEAL off the hook then denigrated his prosecutors? That’s the kind of guy Trump wants in the military. Guys who care about the sailors they’re responsible for? Not so much.

NSIAP because it needs to be circulated: 

I hope more groups, like this one in Washington, spring up to sue the shit out of Fox News. Take them for every dime they have.

The 10-page complaint — filed Thursday in King County — also names as defendants Fox News Corp., owner Rupert Murdoch, AT&T TV and COMCAST.

It seeks an injunction to prohibit the conservative-leaning outlet from “interfering with reasonable and necessary measures to contain the virus by publishing further false and deceptive content.”

Reacting in a statement, Lily Fu Claffee, general counsel for FOX News Media, told Times of San Diego: “Wrong on the facts, frivolous on the law. We will defend vigorously and seek sanctions as appropriate.”

"Wrong on the facts." LOL! Seek sanctions? WTF is she talking about?

He has missed plenty of chances to not only save his image, but also unify Americans.  This isn't even in the top 10.

Number 1

Reporter: What do you have to say to Americans who are scared?

Trump: I say that you're a terrible reporter.

A softball is a lot harder to hit than that question. It was served up on a tee and the fences were moved to 5 feet from the plate. Trump swang and missed hard. 

Calling Trump a narcissistic sociopath is an insult to narcissistic sociopaths.  Sociopaths understand that they are supposed to care about how other people feel even if they really don't care.  He can't even fake empathy. He actually has no clue what it is at all.  

I wonder how he reacted when his father died. He'd be a fascinating case study if he was doing something else besides fucking up the country.

Wait--is it overhyped or is Trump saving a lot of lives?

Because if it's hype, then lives aren't at risk.

If Trump is saving a bunch of lives, then it is a very real--i.e., non-overhyped--threat.

I'm waiting for Trump to declare that he's now a trillionaire.

fox news claims they never switched gears.  yet they fired one of the anchors featured prominently in these videos.  why was that, again?

there's a clear double-standard between the treatment of a possible pandemic with a dem president and now, but the real issue is the 180 they've pulled in the past 3 weeks.  don't let the other garbage distract us.

You're right the production wasn't the greatest. But if you watched the video far enough, it exposed the hypocrisy that is Fox News. Clips included their commentary and response to the Ebola outbreak. As one would expect, they skewered Obama after the US had 11 cases and 2 deaths. Compare that to how they have been moving the goal posts claiming the network took the Coronavirus seriously from the start. I think this comparison is especially important in any formal litigation because it shows that Fox News knew exactly what it was doing back under the Ebola outbreak with Obama and again with the Trump corona virus. They were raising alarm bells to make Obama look bad and willfully misleading the American public just to make Trump look good.

people always know this shit ahead of time.  often they go through proper channels to report it.

we already saw with ukraine what happens to these stand-up men and women who go through the proper channels when something doesn't feel right.  they get trashed by half the country and state media, then removed from their posts.

pretty dangerous dynamic they've put in place.

The world’s largest critical care unit opened in London on Friday, as the U.K. steps up its fight to tackle the spread of the coronavirus.

U.K. health-care workers and the British military worked together to overhaul the London ExCel center, which normally hosts conferences and exhibitions, building the pop-up Nightingale hospital in just nine days.

The hospital was built to help Britain’s National Health Service (NHS) cope with the surge in demand for emergency care due to the coronavirus, which has so far infected 34,192 and killed 2,926 people in the U.K., according to latest data from Johns Hopkins University. 

Global cases of the COVID-19 infection have now surpassed the 1 million mark.

The temporary hospital, named after the pioneering nurse Florence Nightingale, currently holds 500 beds, though the NHS said the facility in east London has the capacity for between 4,000 and 5,000 beds. 

NHS hospitals across the U.K. have already freed up more than 33,000 beds, equivalent to 50 new hospitals. Meanwhile, the private hospital sector agreed to offer up to 8,000 beds, as well as staff and equipment, for use by the NHS.

Other countries also have to deal with religious nuts spreading Coronavirus. Organized religion, especially Abrahamic ones in my experience (only one true path to true salvation by the one true God), is the greatest scourge to mankind.

647 cases identified in 2 days because an Islamic organization - which had previous links to terrorist organizations - decided to have a global get together.

India was doing pretty good with Coronavirus until this happened.

My exposure to Limbaugh's show is pretty much clips on here and otherwise being familiar with his schtick. But it cracks me the hell up that he is discussing "models" and how they are wrong and intimating that Dr. Fauci, a world renowned researcher and doctor is a quack. Who the fuck do you think you are Limbaugh, you college dropout? Oh, what's that? Bill Gates didn't finish college either? You're right Limbo, he didn't. And is that who you went to for your lung cancer diagnosis you canklesore?

The saddest part of Rush' wrinkly butt existence is that through all of these years he has benefited from the repeal of the Fairness Doctrine which would have exposed his privileged racist white ass a lot sooner for the farce that it is. No one in their right mind should give anyone money to air wrong science. Freedom of speech w/o factual rebuttal when it comes to science is pablum for idiots.

Stations that air his show are the ones who need to be held accountable as much as he is.

Hey, last night the Times opinion section said Kushner would get us killed.  Today it was the Post's turn:

 

Trump’s ignorant son-in-law is running the coronavirus response. That’s unacceptable.

“What a lot of the voters are seeing now is that when you elect somebody to be a mayor or a governor or a president, you’re trying to think about who will be a competent manager during the time of crisis. This is a time of crisis, and you’re seeing certain people are better managers than others.”

That was Jared Kushner speaking at the daily briefing of the White House coronavirus task force on Thursday. And why was Kushner there? Why is Kushner, as utterly ignorant and unqualified for this task as he is for all the other ones he has been assigned, even remotely involved with the government’s effort to deal with one of the most profound challenges the United States has ever faced?

Expand  

 

  Quote

Was it not enough that he was told to solve the opioid crisis and achieve Middle East peace, inevitably failing at both? Is he the person whose help we need right now?

He’s not just helping. According to multiple reports, Kushner has established his own shadow task force overseeing the government’s efforts on the coronavirus, at times duplicating or displacing what the official task force is doing as Kushner issues orders across the government and nobody is quite sure who is in charge.

“This was a total mess,” Kushner told people when he came in to take over the coronavirus response, according to Vanity Fair’s Gabriel Sherman. “I know how to make this government run now.”

 

Expand  

 

  Quote

This was during a period in which Kushner advised the president that the media was overhyping the threat from the virus: In mid-March, the New York Times reportedthat Kushner “considers the problem more about public psychology than a health reality, according to people who have spoken with him."

Kushner has also tried to figure out what to do by getting his brother’s wife’s father, an ER doctor, to ask around on Facebook to determine how the government should handle the crisis.

Quick update to my posts from a few days ago, based on info that is current as of this morning after my most recent shift. We are not yet taking in positive COVID-19 cases (just having to rule people out), but your Austin critical care nurses are already being asked to reuse paper gowns. Paper gowns. Are they "water resistant" paper? Sure. But they are designed to be ripped off of the body and be disposed of cleanly after one use.

So we've got that going for us.
