Morning covfefe thought:

Actually the Trump people are 100% reliable: in every case they make, every statement, every nuance, you know the exact opposite is true. This is invariably the case.

Even the Nazis occasionally issued factual statements. This crowd is just plain stupid.

[PJMcK]

1. Trump's decision-making process

When confronted with a decision between good and bad, Trump always chooses worse.

[lark]

6. When presented with any decision, he looks to see how he & other oligarchs can profit from it.

That's why they are saying the cost of the cure could be prohibitive - drumpf & big pharma (ie - huge donors) have to profit first and foremost. Then he looks to see how he can hurt his perceived "enemies" with this - and that's why the testing kits weren't sent out and are still largely MIA. If this were hitting AL or TX first - the response would be totally different. He's too stupid to realize that what's in CA and OR will spread fast, we are a very mobile society.

He does know he's in over his head, though. That's why he put Pence in charge, to have someone to yell at and fire when things go south - as they almost surely will due to his complete incompetence.

[Mr.Bill]

7. He can remove Pence's duties,

but he can't fire him.

[lark]

10. Well, he can remove him as his running mate, which is firing him in a way.

That's what I expect, he will not include Pence as his VP in 2020 due to (planned) incompetence and spread of the virus and will instead ask Tulsi or Nikkie to be his running mate.

[Mr.Bill]

11. Yes, and then we can fire them both in November. n/t

[lark]

12. That is 100% the plan, which they just helped with their total incompetence.

PUtin will not be pleased -

9. +100

[Baitball Blogger]

2. Absolutely truthful.

That's why the stock market keeps tanking. Nobody trusts this administration.

[captain queeg]

3. Like I've heard, if he says he knows all about something

He knows nothing; wind, construction, etc. if he says he knows nothing he is totally aware of it; Russian meddling, Ukrainian black mail, etc.

[Farmer-Rick]

4. Yeah, I always said there was no idea bad enough for him to give up on it.

[B Stieg]

5. Rhetorically, this is called "metastasis"

which I like to call the "I know you are but what am I?" stratagem!
The move is classified as a "tu quoque" ("you too" ) fallacy or an "appeal to hypocrisy!"
It's all they got. Nothing.

[PCIntern]

8. Interesting. Rhetorically I call this

All fucked up.

[B Stieg]

14. That's because...

ignorance is so sexy.

[defacto7]

13. Right on.

It's like group or cult narcissism. I forgot the term.
