1. Looks like that promised miracle from the Con

is not happening. He told the world only he could fix it. I'm shocked I tell you.

Covid-19 is out of control and so is the stock market.

Get thee to the greatest page

6. This is likely just a plot twist to take these folks out of the public eye immediately.

It's trump's version of "shut this down". Likely, the emergency he wants to talk about is how hearings on the topic are making him look bad. Remember, the only emergencies he recognizes are those risks to his personal brand image. And these hearings are certainly that.

18. And why didn't he show up to CV briefing yesterday?

He's pushing this all away from him. Yet Pence is the most obedient suck up ever. He can come up with instant bullshit to cover his boss's stupidity like no one else!

2. What fresh hell will this be?

3. Place your wager here:

1. There is an actually emergency meeting taking place.

or

2. The WH sought to end the hearing asap.

They are such liars everything they say is suspect!

[BKDem]

9. With this WH, best guess is almost always the worst thing.

19. #2 was my first thought.

4. trump doesn't want anyone messing with his message.....

He just wants calm. Peace. All will be fine talk.

7. Whatever there is of it to see is on C-Span.

MARCH 11, 2020

Dr. Redfield, Dr. Fauci & Others Testify on Coronavirus Response

Dr. Robert Redfield and Dr. Anthony Fauci along with other emergency response officials testified on the coronavirus outbreak before the House Oversight & Reform Committee.

8. Even issues of life and death are all political for him.

As long as it's not his life and death. I'm beginning to hope he gets ill. It occurred to me that getting sick with this one is going to be terrifying for a lot of people in the higher-risk groups.

21. Keep An Eye On Him For Signs Of Illness

Is Trump showing any of these symptoms:

1. Inability to maintain mental focus and concentration...?

2. Difficulty in performing ordinary tasks...?

3. Frequent interruptions to sleep patterns...?

4. Unusual skin coloration or texture...?

[nykym]

22. Political is not in his wheelhouse

only PROFIT.
All decisions are made according to how much money it will generate for HIM only!

10. The emergency is the stock market crash

He still doesn’t care about the response to cv19, beyond how it makes him look. There are some polls showing the majority not approving of his handling of that crisis but in his mind that doesn’t matter but he can see the stock market and for him it’s like a score card.

11. Maybe they're going to be told of some prominent politicians that have coronavirus

[ScratchCat]

12. I'm serious here...

Why don't these folks in the hearing just continue on as planned and meet with whoever afterwards? Its high time this bullshit stops.

[RAB910]

13. How can a "hoax" be an emergency?

[edhopper]

15. Dow down 900 ponts

explains a lot of it.

[Renew Deal]

16. Was this a public hearing?

[KY_EnviroGuy]

17. Marketwatch just posted that the bull market is ending soon.

All hands on deck to catch that damned bull.

Seriously, I can't fathom what this might be about unless some very influential business people have threatened election repercussions unless tRump starts taking this thing seriously.

Business CEOs surely can see what's coming.......

20. Purely pretextual. Anything to interfere with House oversight.

23. Emergency scolding for being truthful
