I hope some brave listener will fill me in on what

[BigmanPigman]

was said at the news conference. My mental health won't allow me to listen. Thank you.

[madaboutharry]

1. You are missing out on listening to a bunch of people who are totally

unqualified for the jobs talk about things that they have no knowledge of.

[BigmanPigman]

3. I assumed that would be the case...

for some reason.

[Totally Tunsie]

40. Bingo!

[Hoyt]

2. trump has put our safety in capable hands of Pence. Christ.

[BigmanPigman]

7. Ok, I feel safe now. All is good, nothing to worry about.

Thanks!

[Coventina]

9. At this point, even though I gave up on Christianity, I trust Christ more than Pence.

4. Trump patting himself on the back re coronavirus and blocking the border.

He said 'we have the greatest experts in the world". I bet that hurt. Bi-partisan spirit, Schumer wants more cooperation and Trump says we'll take it. But they'll have to find it (money). US rated #1 in preparedness by Johns' Hopkins. Pence in charge (I hope he doesn't think this is the rapture). 

[Coventina]

6. Does this mean our borders are closed? No international travel? For how long? n/t

[applegrove]

10. He was talking about what they had already done. I can't remember but maybe they banned

flights from certain parts of china?

[Rorey]

5. Yes, I also have a doctor's note excusing me

Dr. Rorey

[Ilsa]

8. We have a thread in GD. NT

[nolabear]

11. In better news he looks like hell.

I mean seriously. I’m not sure he’s fully awake.

[Backseat Driver]

16. I took a peek - both IMPOTUS and VP looked like Day-of-the-Dead corpses.

I quick turned it off!

[BigmanPigman]

17. Maybe they have to virus?

[Vinca]

12. I tuned in long enough to hear someone describe Trump as "wise."

If you value your mental health, don't turn it on. LOL.

[BigmanPigman]

18. I made the mistake of turning the "mute" off

when I saw Chris Matthews was speaking then the fucking moron started again...damn. Hello Mute button!

[dewsgirl]

13. You are missing his dark orange new look, he even has

pink eyelids to match his pink tie..of course lying his ass of to the public, but I'm sure you could have guessed that.😉

[BigmanPigman]

19. I have the TV on so I can see how he coordinated his tie

to match the skin around his eyes. Lovely. I guess he is into a "Springtime Palette" a little early this fashion season.

[dewsgirl]

21. Indeed...lol.🤣

[madamesilverspurs]

14. He's standing behind the person speaking,

trying to look interested. Sometimes he's rocking from side to side like he does when listening to the national anthem. No, I don't have the sound on.

15. Fauci of the NIH shared truth about a vaccine

Last edited Wed Feb 26, 2020, 09:06 PM - Edit history (1)

It's a ways off.

[BigmanPigman]

20. Now that is someone I may actually trust with information.

[eleny]

22. And now it's shifted into a campaign speech by you-know-who

[BigmanPigman]

24. Now I really do feel sick.....

I thought the pink eyes/pink tie combo was nauseating but a campaign rally beats it.

If there is an outbreak and it is suggested that political rallies should be stopped, do you think he'll do it? It would hurt the Dem candidates but it would also apply to him and his cult.

[eleny]

28. Buzz Burbank brought up the rallies issue on Bob Cesca's podcast last night!

A great podcast, btw. Anyhow, they speculated about Trump rallies and how sad it would be if Trump couldn't rant in front of an adoring crowd.

Good you aren't watching. Lots of gas lighting bullshit. I'm often turning the sound off now waiting for MSNBC to break away.

[BigmanPigman]

29. Just from appearances, he certainly has a lot of people

up there standing behind him. That must mean he is trustworthy and we shouldn't question him in the future.

[onethatcares]

23. they weren't showing him on my teevee but

a different pundit said 3 months out. Am I right? Not wanting to win a prize but just askin for a friend.

[eleny]

25. I'm not sure I recall right but...

I thought Fauci said that realistically it could take a year. Then he spoke about a virus vaccine that has been in an animal testing phase. That could be made available sooner - if it works out.

But don't quote me. I'd try to find the video of this and scroll to Fauci's time at the mic.

[BigmanPigman]

26. I read that it's 18 months and 9 months

on DU posts about it. But I also read lsat week on DU that a vaccine was already made by a lab in San Diego but now has to get funded and tested which will take a while.

[Totally Tunsie]

41. From his timetable, Fauci* is talking about

12 - 14 months before a vaccine could be available!

2 - 3 months development to bring to trial.
3 months small sample trial. (50 people or so.)
6 - 8 months large scale trial (testing on thousands)

Not to worry, though! Remember, Doturd says the heat of April will kill it off before too much damage is done.

(*pulled this info from the video of his address.)

[TheBlackAdder]

27. He double-applied his bronzer. So much that Border Patrol stopped him to show ID.

[handmade34]

30. nothing smart...

nothing comforting
nothing relevant

worse thing he said... justifying cutting funds for CDC and pandemic preparedness by saying he could get people to do the work when needed and appointed Pence "because he was free" (my words, but that's what he seemed to say)

[BigmanPigman]

31. That's always his priority...$$$

Evil bastard!

[smirkymonkey]

32. Sorry, Bigman.

I tried. I just couldn't do it. I can't stand the sight or sound of him. Hopefully some kind person will give us a clear, concise synopsis.

[handmade34]

33. blamed the stock market plunge

on the Democrats... really!

[smirkymonkey]

37. Grrrr!

There are no words to describe how much I hate that miserable bastard.

He is such a coward.

[gibraltar72]

34. Pence says

we have to pray harder.

[BigmanPigman]

35. Get out...really?!?

[MoonlitKnight]

36. After some self fellating and minimizing of the situation

Trump stepped aside and Pence is in charge.
Pence praised the angry orange who was cowering in the background.
Pence then slightly reduced the minimization of the problem while balancing angering twitler.
This was followed by a political hack interim appointee who slightly pivoted towards it being an actual issue, but still minimizing.
He then handed off to the career professional at the CDC who noted the seriousness while using language that would not alarm anyone under the age of eight. So President mushroom did not notice and had already drifted into thoughts of overdone steak with ketchup.
Then someone else jumped to the podium to walk back his previous unrealistic statement about a vaccine. Not three months but maybe 18 or more.
Then CNN cut away to face palm.

Did I miss anything?

[mahina]

38. Everything's hunky dory, nothing to see here

Press are mostly suckups. Here’s a clip

Oh and also the stock market tanked because people watched the Democratic debate and Nancy Pelosi is incompetent, not a badass ninja like everyone thinks.

HAhahahaha
Moran.

[MFM008]

39. Your mental health

Wont allow me to tell you about it......

[MoonlitKnight]

42. Has it already been a month?

I believe this was for the first of the now daily press conference/rally. Not much has changed.

[BigmanPigman]

43. Post #4 had a good summary.

Reading them all, looking back, is interesting. That would be a good exercise to maintain a realistic picture as a whole. Too much happens in only a month in tRumpland. What he manages to do and un-do in such little time is amazing.
