Blame people from 3 years ago for this. I'm not responsible for not acting 5 months ago.

Exactly.  All the way up to one week ago Thursday, it was Trump Easter sugar plum tales.  The press is just getting rolled on this point, repeatedly.  Even a blip of acceptance and response beginning in Feb and early March still makes a huge difference compared to where we are headed today.

[Mrs Whiggins 13,050]

That's a gotcha question. Oh he mad when she quoted Jared.

[Michael Knight 13,187]

every governor complaining is lying

[RPM 26,560]

Don't make it sound bad. You have a nasty tone.

[Bama Chick 28,596]

Governor MeeMaw used the big gun in her attempt to try and get the idiots to stay home.

Gov. Kay Ivey says that the state must take this "deadly seriously."

"If you're eager for a fall football season coming up, what we're doing today gives us a better chance of being able to do that as well," she says.

Trump needs no protection. Just ask Stormy Daniels.

who still calls it the worst 30 seconds of her life. lol. alpha male!

[TXSG8R 3,362]

The Kushner stuff really hit a nerve. Holy shit. 

[henrygandorf 29,221]

nasty tone + perfect answer in the same fucking sentence.

[UDontKnow 10,557]

Blaming the states for being unprepared. Kinda hard to do when national pandemic preparedness and responses are defunded.

[Mrs Whiggins 13,050]

Keep hammering him until he loses it. Cmon you guys, get mad.

[UDontKnow 10,557]

"Not a traffic cop. Humanitarian cop!" WOW! Haha!

[Mrs Whiggins 13,050]

"Do I take them in or save lives?"

Ummmm.

 

[UDontKnow 10,557]

"They had 4-5 deaths. But we took care of them." This is a shitshow.

[TornACL 7,792]

How long are these press conferences? Are 1+ hour daily briefings really the best use of anyone's time? 

[henrygandorf 29,221]

"these ships, do i take them in, or do i save lives?  i took them in."

he's getting derailed.

Why don't you want to wear a mask?

I'm feeling good. Don't feel like doing it. I'll pass. 

(real quotes)

JFC, he still doesn't understand the reason for wearing a mask. He actually might be trailing the Georgia governor in the remedial coronavirus class.

Get him to admit he ordered the Code Red.

[henrygandorf 29,221]

in the west wing, they would call this a "ramp up".

of course i don't remember the reporters having their mics turned off on a tv show.  not sure when that started, but i can guess.

I seriously always thought that is the best strategy. Have football coaches make a national PSA letting folks know if they don’t stay home, there will be no football this year.

 

either that or pray your and my governors grow a pair. Yours did.

No, but if people can watch Fox all day, I can watch a little of "As The World Burns"

Two reporters doing the Jared quotes, and the the third swooping in with a quick ask regarding Khashoggi and who knows what will happen.

[Michael Knight 13,187]

you can tell hes fucking pissed at Kushner

Funny how the whole tone changes when Birx is speaking.

[UDontKnow 10,557]

Don't like Dr. Birx covering up for the administration. She's essentially telling the public to stop asking questions about our nation's unpreparedness.

Yep.  Fauci is much better.

Acosta cut off at the knees when he asked about April magic.

[Dbeasy 15,526]

If Trump dies before the election, I’m worried somehow potato head Pence will get elected under some perverse logic that change during a pandemic is a bad idea.

[Michael Knight 13,187]

the 2 most competent people in this task force were appointed by previous presidents

[4th&Five 41,904]

You said it was going to go away in April. 
 

I didn’t give a date! It is going away.

I respect her expertise, but I agree. The more she has been speaking lately, the more concerns about that I have.

[ChiTownDoc 21,324]

Every one of these news conferences should ask him who dismantled the Pandemic Response Team...EVERY FUCKING ONE OF THEM.  He can fold and blame someone on his team but he needs to be asked over and over.  When he states who it was...if he throws someone under the bus (pence) he needs to be asked why that person wasn't let go.  Or at least throw some shoes at his fat orange head.

Yea, she has been compromised since the whole “trump is really good at analyzing the data” shit she put out during a presser. 

[yoladu 4,187]

did he just say some States use:  "40 year old computers?"

computers built in 1980? What States are those?

"We have a lot of states that need to be taken care of. Hey Florida! I'm sending you New York's ventilators."

I have not understood the pass she gets.  All these dummies are yes people...Fauci does his best, but if he was actually good and forceful as he should be...he would be fired.  I'll give him a pass but Birx and this pathetic ass surgeon general along with Verma are the type of dummies you typically see in cush govt gigs.  

[David Dennison 19,441]

He's melting down hard.

 

[henrygandorf 29,221]

my favorite part of this whole thing is that with the white house press room's new social-distancing guidelines, they can only allow like 12 reporters in there at a time on a rotating basis.  so if he wants to do these "til-they-drop" press briefings/rallies, he's forced to keep calling on the jim acosta's of the world.  there are a few in there that give him grief, and when several are in there at a time, he's in trouble.  if only yamiche was in there today.

[Michael Knight 13,187]

This fucking mask thing is such an easy question and hes just continuously bombing it.

The mask is for your protection, wearing it under the assumption that I have it because I've not been tested since I show no symptoms. As President I've been tested and will continue to be tested so I don't need to wear a mask to protect someone.

I admit I was hard on Fauci initially. And it appears that he reached his breaking point with the bullshit and began behaving like a physician should be. Birx gets a pass because of previous achievements with HIV, but she is definitely past her prime and in over her head. Jerome Adams, Surgeon General, is allegedly an anesthesiologist and I am wondering how he got through medical school, much less residency (Anesthesiology residency is no fucking joke!). And Seema Verma, wannabe physician, dunno how she's married to a child psychiatrist, because all she does is try to stick it to the physicians.

[David Dennison 19,441]

Maybe making the host of The Apprentice president of the United States wasn't a good idea.
