He will be played by Bradley Whitford when Shitshow: The Movie comes out.

Could also see the role going to Jere Burns/Wynn Duffy

hahahaha, he's already walking back suspension of funding to the who. "i never said that." "you did say that." "i said we are going to look at that."
narrarator: he actually said that they were going to put a temporary hold on funding to the who.

“A tremendous hold”, if I heard correctly.

is that a record reversal? usually it's the next day, at least. holy shit he has literally no idea what he's doing

Punting to Seema. That's a nice replacement necklace Seema. Did you finally get the taxpayers to fund your insurance claim?

[Mrs Whiggins 13,050]

"Who are you with?" seems to be a common refrain with him. Wtf does it matter?

USPS on the table.

[Bozo_Casanova 26,773]

Jesus this shit about the Postal Service. It's like a typical Todd and Donn caller is president.

I can't wait until he puts Jared in charge of the "post office" problem.  I am sure he can solve it.

[Anastasis 23,700]

This is the most important week of the pandemic in the United States so of course we are talking about the fucking post office. 

[Mrs Whiggins 13,050]

The USPS and the subsidizing of the shippers. Oooo, that's going to be interesting. Which President was in office when the routes were opened to them? I can't remember was that W? I want to say it was 2004 or 2005?

 

[Bozo_Casanova 26,773]

"Tell your Democrat friend that if he wants to save the post office"

[hayden_horn 11,401]

did i just hear him say that the flu of 1918 killed hundreds of millions of people?

Because then it's the post office's fault if people die. Didn't you read the memo?

putting a hold on funding to the WHO. during a pandemic. i mean, whatever. he's trying to blame them for his own inaction and paralysis. 

Their response to this was somewhere on the spectrum from useless to negligent. Their utility is worth examining as well as our funding of it. I would argue he should wait til after we’re out of the woods though.

on the one hand, if the trucks have to visit every house every day, it makes sense to just have one truck do that.  on the other, privatizing the profitable part (depot to depot hauling) while socializing the money losing part (last mile delivery) strikes me as wrong.

Oh good grief. People do not cheat on mail ballots.

The highest estimate I've ever seen was 100 million world wide but many believe it was lower than that.

Well, see, if they had called it earlier, Trump could have sat around fingering his asshole for two months and it wouldn't have mattered.

Another accusation that is a confession.

Between that (the profitable part), the last mile agreement with foreign nations, and having to pay the pensions out ahead so far the post office cannot ever turn a profit as far as I can tell.

 

Sorry for the derail. I'll stop with the USPS talk.

[tchookem 3,966]

I don't think that it can be overstated how much of a lift launching 10 trials, with more to come, and 2 vax already in testing is.  Everybody likes to hate on Pharma, and for good reason, but mobilizing this sort of a response is a pretty awesome thing on their part. 

I do get a slight chuckle thinking of the wonder drugs that are getting put on the back burner so these trials can move forward.

Looks like we'll have to wait a like longer for better boner pills and feminine sweat reducer lotions.

[Anastasis 23,700]

I am sure this discussion of HCQ will be enlightening.

Please pan the camera to Fauci. 

[Mrs Whiggins 13,050]

Her manner of speaking? What are you saying Mr. President? Do you not believe African Americans are eloquent or something? Jfc.

[Bozo_Casanova 26,773]

He sounds very stuffed up.

[burntorangebongos 10,809]

I knew that Modly was speaking to the shitgibbon with his stupid speech. And the shitgibbon thinks he is selfless. What a fucking piece of shit. With 173 sick on the TR and knowing that their commander in chief is unfit, you gotta feel for the men and women in the Navy. Their moral must be on the floor.

I would pay money for a dedicated camera on him.

Ask if he's taking the magic bean pills as a preventative measure since he thinks it's so great.

Only piece of useful information is a sample size for the NY study (I heard N=1500), although he described it as a case study.

i do agree with your stance somewhat. but the who declared covid-19 a pandemic on march 11, which is late, but the definition is what it is. trump spent the weeks before, despite being warned by his own administration and intelligence community, that this thing is fucking real and we need to get our shit together. trump knew about this in december, and wanted to wish it away, like a miracle, and soon the cases will be 0. 

trump doesn't want to rely on the international community for advice, then he cannot blame them for their response. he wants to go it alone, then he faces the music alone. fuck this hand waving at the who.

Nope. I disagree with him plenty. Don’t see the need to share that here with y’all. You have it well covered.

Cool. Now grade Trump because they did a much better job than he did.

Well, National Review, could anything be more ridiculous that POTUS pimping a drug?  Pimping a drug that is unproven, not approved, and has  dire side effects?

It would be one thing if the drug were a proven, safe and effective cure or therapy for CV19, but it is not.

"Look! All I did was endorse a candidate. "

"And all hell broke loose. Safety...For months they did nothing." Hello??? When exactly did the WH begin to change their tune on the pandemic?

[Anastasis 23,700]

LOL, ok that was kind of funny. 

[Grade of D as in David 13,255]

Yes.

Mr President, you said votes my mail can be fraudulent.

 

Yes.

 

But you voted by mail.

Estimates were 20-50 million dead for the 1918 influenza pandemic. But if he's using that as his benchmark, it only further proves that he is the worst President this nation has ever had.

"I think you should go and you should vote." What an answer to that question.

You voted for him and plan to vote for him again. 

You disagree with him but never criticize other than coming on here and saying you disagree with him, well sometimes.

Look I know your a troll but if you’re gonna criticize the WHO response you should put a disclaimer on the bottom of the post that you are in fact a wholehearted trump supporter who voted for him and plans to vote for him again so the board has full disclosure of all the facts. 

[TwiceHorn 31,993]

I have mixed feelings about the UN.  But, one thing I imagine is true:  by being less enthusiastic participants in UN and UN agencies, we make room for China and Russia to fuck it right the fuck up.

I have little doubt that China caused WHO to fuck this up.
