[uponit7771]

1. We're fucked, without unfettered testing we don't know who has what right now

[LaurenOlimina]

3. scary

[uponit7771]

19. What's scarier is we have a 2 week float in our economy and Wuhan has been on 3 week lock down and

... we don't know if its going to work.

[virgogal]

2. Every sounds great so far.

[joshcryer]

4. "unlike websites of the past" he was flaming the ACA roll out

[Bernardo de La Paz]

8. He has actively sabotaged the ACA website while in power. . . .nt

[Roland99]

5. We learned a lot. A tremendous amount. This will pass

[Iwasthere]

6. He does not want the real numbers known

If we cant stop the testing, he'll try to slow it.

[irisblue]

7. Who is this woman speaking?

[blaze]

11. Dunno. She's impressive.

[MissB]

18. Our bar is low

But yes she can speak coherently in public.

[blaze]

26. LOL. Truth.

[uponit7771]

40. +1, she doesn't drool on herself so its OK

[Volaris]

196. So can I. It doesnt qualify me to work at the fucking white house...

[hlthe2b]

12. She's advising Pence--Dr. Debbie Birx

[blaze]

16. Here's a wiki link

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deborah_L._Birx

[irisblue]

34. I read her wiki, she must hate working with Pence.

[stillcool]

60. thanks for that.

[nolabear]

9. WHY are they pretending everything is his idea?

He has no clue what’s needed, and she’s giving him credit for thinking of the response.

[MissB]

23. Because it gives her face time.

[Arkansas Granny]

33. Maybe because he'd block it if he doesn't get credit.

[luvallpeeps]

184. They all have to.

[SamKnause]

10. The fucker has a hell of a time getting his words out.

He sounds like a total dumb ass.

[Jamastiene]

20. I have noticed it is getting worse,

(or should I say better?) lately. He is winded, incredibly winded. Yet, somehow, he seems to still utter a lot of garbage when he does speak.

[Paladin]

57. Yet another mumbling clusterfuck of a performance.

No wonder the markets are going downward when he speaks.

[spanone]

13. BULLSHIT....BEHIND THE SCENE

[IcyPeas]

14. WHY is this being held in the Rose Garden today?

[Jamastiene]

25. It is Spring.

Although, I don't know what the roses did to deserve him talking near them.

[underpants]

28. They don't want the hoax inside the White House

or anyone who has the hoax.

[SamKnause]

15. They have removed all the regulations and they will have no idea if the test is accurate or safe.

I don't believe a word out of their mouths.

[nolabear]

17. OOOOOHHHHHH...it's all going on behind the scenes!

That explains everything!

And she has a poster!

[jayfish]

24. "And she has a poster!"

That no one can see. This is a real banger.

[nolabear]

35. Yeah it was like a Jr high report poster.

[PA Democrat]

36. Why does this remind me of the scene from the Wizard of Oz

right before the curtain is pulled back.

This is such BS with the majority of time wasted praising and making excuses for Trump.

[Windy City Charlie]

21. She's saying...

they've been working on this for weeks behind the scenese, even though they didn't tell us? It's work that we didn't see?

[IcyPeas]

22. oh good, charts and graphs.

[Jamastiene]

200. The last time they did that, we ended up at war.

Don't laugh. I wouldn't put it past them. They would love nothing more than a distraction that shuts us all up.

[spanone]

27. Hey Tony, should have been done 2 weeks ago

[nolabear]

29. Well I'm not sure I'd call it a GREAT experience, Spanky.

[LiberalLoner]

38. His choice of words....

[EndlessWire]

30. Was the doctor

reading from the paper tRump pulled out of his jacket pocket?

[Peregrine Took]

31. Where's Dr. Fauci? -He's the only one I believe. n/t

[EndlessWire]

43. I don't trust him, either. n/t

[Peregrine Took]

70. Very possible....he SEEMS the best of what we've been seeing but ....

anyone who serves closely with Fat Donny can't be up to a whole hell of a lot.

[underpants]

56. He touched the mic too

[Sugar Smack]

66. Aaand they're all sharing the mic.

[Mr. Sparkle]

45. I saw a handshake !! Thats a no-no.

[at140]

91. Shocked the hell out of me to see Trump shaking hands

the dude has no clue on how the virus can be transmitted person to person.

[LaurenOlimina]

46. He's shaking hands!

WTF?!?!

[LiberalLoner]

54. I noticed the gentleman immediately clasped his hands behind his back,

Maybe to make sure he didn’t touch his face before he could get to hand sanitizer or soap?

[FM123]

71. Yep! They all need to be tested, just sayin....

[SamKnause]

47. Money, money, money. That is what the hold up is.

[LiberalLoner]

48. So people are going to experience the drive through experience

Sure, I’ve always wanted to have a drive through experience.

[spanone]

50. Now were doing commercials for walmart target cvs...who else?

[PA Democrat]

51. Amazing isn't it how other countries figured it out before us.

How about make America COMPETENT again.

[Totally Tunsie]

52. Just keep shaking those hands, A-hole!

[LaurenOlimina]

53. Jesus Typhoid Trump!

[IcyPeas]

58. they are all touching the microphone too OMG

[cwydro]

59. Great, we're depending on google and walmart.

Then orange man insisted on a handshake. What an idiot.

[spanone]

61. THIS ALL SHOULD HAVE BEEN DONE IN JANUARY

[Newest Reality]

62. Corporate America to the RESCUE!

We must thank them for the their concern and generosity and may they benefit from the free advertising! This is GREAT PR! FREE TOO!

Creeping privatization. Shock and Awe politics.

[Windy City Charlie]

73. Yes

out of the kindness of their hearts! They're not expecting one thing out of this!

[Brainfodder]

65. How many commercials do we have????

[spanone]

69. De-regulation....across the board

[underpants]

72. This is like a dream for a director of award shows

Everyone is staying within 30 seconds

[spanone]

76. THIS IS FUCKING ABSURD

[EndlessWire]

67. A good idea

To include Walmart parking lots as a source of drive-through testing. Walmart has always been generous with their space.

[Totally Tunsie]

107. Well, they've paved over Paradise and put up a parking lot.

Plenty o' room.

[EndlessWire]

183. Good one! n/t

[LaurenOlimina]

68. This reminds me of Hoover's response to the depression.

All business and little about people. Enterprise will save us!

74. The makeup shade is Rubbermaid after storing spaghetti. n/t

[Cognitive_Resonance]

75. There's no business like show business. nt

83. More commercials than a TNN movie

What a crock.

[Cognitive_Resonance]

84. We keep hearing bits of the truth about wide-scale testing...actually weeks away. nt

[nolabear]

87. It's a Murderers' Row of CEOs. Pay for Care on parade.

The market is going up. People are anticipating profits.

[MissB]

88. Waiving interest on federal student loans

[LiberalLoner]

90. We are NOT energy independent you Orange ignoramus.

Omg. I can’t.

[SamKnause]

92. That will help a lot suspending the interest.

How about halting payments and interest ???

[Victory at Yorktown]

93. What is this, a corporate pep rally????

Congratulating yourself on how great your doing? You called it a hoax, you idiot!!!! You think we forgot?

[Pacifist Patriot]

[Totally Tunsie]

126. Welcome to DU.

[Victory at Yorktown]

I’m not a newbie, but a long time lurker. Just don’t post much.
This is a joke, the emperors new clothes level gaslighting.

[Totally Tunsie]

[Pacifist Patriot]

94. And here Pence goes with the daily fellating.

[Newest Reality]

95. And now...

After our commercial segment...extra stupid from a man who doesn't fall for science and lies a lot.

[LaurenOlimina]

97. Mike Pence straps on his kneepads...

[IcyPeas]

109. kiss kiss kiss kiss Mr. President kiss kiss Mr. President

[MissB]

116. Stillllll kissing ass

Jesus this is like 2 solid minutes of ass kissing

[Chainfire]

164. Now for a little appropriate music:

[spanone]

102. HE CAN'T DO A SINGLE THING WITHOUT A NOSE UP HIS FUCKING ASS

[SamKnause]

103. Pence the ass kissing suck up.

These are some of the most vile people on earth.

[Hortensis]

108. Very impressed with Walmart guy's statement. Very concise and

entirely skipped the anti-regulation propaganda those before had felt obliged to schmooze Trump/Repubs with, even though it didn't leave time for them to explain what they would actually do.

Walmart guy said what they'd agreed to do in this initial effort. Short and sweet. Period.

Those who don't like Walmart (I'm among them--waaaaaaaaaay too big) might remember that Walmart was sending trucks full of relief supplies to devastated Louisiana and other Gulf areas when the state government was failing, federal government under W/Repubs refusing to help, and the media completely lacking in the "nothing will every be the same again -- for YOU" noise they swamped the nation with when 911 threatened their own cushy NYC lifestyles.

Same for Tom something CEO of a medical device manufacturer. Introduced himself as more than "Tom," explained what his company did and what they'd do. Similar for most of the others, speaking longer but informatively about their roles. No political shit from MOST.

[RussBLib]

110. the Pence is sickening

such sycophancy

at least he knows what he has to do to survive this orange menace

[Mr. Sparkle]

111. This is what happens when you destroy government, you have to rely on big pharma.

How good and accurate are their tests? It sounds like some of them has been rushed through a validation period, or skipped entirely.

[GeorgeGist]

147. Only a few hours ...

apparently.

[Maru Kitteh]

197. Fine. When you get sick don't take one but stay the hell away from everyone else out here

Exactly who else do you think has both the capacity and capability to mass-produce the tests that are needed? You telling us you would trust a test designed and manufactured by a Trump government? Who exactly do you think developed and manufactured the tests approved by the WHO?

There are seriously and legitimately awful issues with pharmaceutical companies, but reflexive, knee-jerk wails of "big pharma" over everything, all the time is just utterly useless and counter-productive.

I would be thankful for ANY tests for my patients and my community! WE HAVE NONE because of TRUMP, period.

[C_U_L8R]

112. "Decisive Action". Everyone drink!!

What a disgusting display of brownnosing.

[spanone]

113. WE'RE GETTING MORE ASS KISSING THAN CORONAVIRUS INFO

[IcyPeas]

115. Hey, where's Rite Aid and Duane Reade?

[SamKnause]

117. And you failed spectacularly, so why are you bragging ???

What a cluster of dumb mother fuckers.

[Glimmer of Hope]

118. LMAO!!

[geardaddy]

136. What is up with all of the private sector people?

And him saying stuff like, "great company" and "good job"?

Why are there no public sector people like CDC folks?

[Volaris]

198. Cause he fired them thats why

[spanone]

119. C'MON MIKE, HAVE YOU NO PRIDE????? GUESS NOT

[LaurenOlimina]

120. Oh jesus fuck.... Who is this insecure?

[Brainfodder]

134. Grossest ass kissing display I have ever heard?

[Totally Tunsie]

173. Mmmmmm, IDK. That famous Cabinet meeting where they all

kissed and licked is pretty hard to beat.

[Brainfodder]

181. You made a good argument!

Thanks, I forgot that classic!

GOOD LUCK!

[Totally Tunsie]

185. Thank God and YouTube that items like this remain for our viewing pleasure.

Ah, that's many weeks too late. ????????????

[IcyPeas]

123. where's the other guy today? Redfield from the CDC?

[SamKnause]

125. Is the Dow tanking ???

[phatkatt]

133. No

It jumped big on the emergency declaration.

[underpants]

135. Going up.

[customerserviceguy]

139. Oddly enough

it's skyrocketing. Over 9% gain for the day.

[spanone]

127. THANK YOU TO THE PRESIDENT

148. I lost count. The ass kissing is disgusting.

[Mersky]

128. Gross. Just Gross.

[IcyPeas]

129. more microphone touching --- ewwwwwww

[uponit7771]

130. We wont have unfettered testing and isolation !!! Their lying again

[underpants]

131. This will go down as a big win for Trump

Just saying.

Now they have to perform.

[nolabear]

137. Hey, if they do, good. But it's in spite of the mismanagement.

[spanone]

138. don't think so. too late. he should have done this 6/8 weeks ago. while he was calling it a hoax

[underpants]

143. Yeah but the media needs to keep him afloat

2 horses

[spanone]

145. that's true.

[at140]

144. Stock market doubled gains after this show from WH

which means corporations are happy to make more profits using the "national emergency" excuse.

[spanone]

149. the national emergency dumps billions into the economy

[uponit7771]

166. +1, which wont help when no on is spending outside of bills locked down in their houses

[spanone]

171. but it's jacking up the market

[uponit7771]

179. Dead cat bounce number 2, it happened in 08 and 1920 ish ... the markets bounce off anything ...

... percieved as good but there's no structural fix here.

[spanone]

193. Of course not, but that's all trump wants is a quick bounce...that's his ratings

[at140]

194. Right on, you understand markets better than most

until the corona virus issue subsides, market will remain vulnerable
and adding to the vulnerability is oil price collapse which is already starting layoffs in US, while Russia & Saudi's keep flooding the oil market.

[uponit7771]

202. +1, the answer is unfettered testing where we can know who's infected and who's not then

... isolate and bunker and clean.

That's what happened in Wuhan, Trump wont make that call here

[at140]

204. No one can duplicate in US what China cando in China

different style governments.

[uponit7771]

205. We can get close to Italy, Trump has no credibility so that wont happen

[at140]

208. First we need to know how many are infected..

hopefully the rate is lower than Italy. If it is just high as Italy, we may not any choice except total lockdown.

[uponit7771]

209. +1, the first wont happen cause Red Don doesn't want the numbers to go up. He's stupid ...

... enough to try and count on summer saving him but it wont. CV is spreading in Cali and Florida and its in the 80s in both states.

[Volaris]

199. Agreed its gonna drop again in 10 business days when nothing is getting done,

And were right back to yesterday, only worse. 40 billion liquid cash isnt nothing for sure (and wall st wont much care HOW it gets spent), but it's not enough to sustain them through the year if this crisis runs past the end of april, would be my guess...

[uponit7771]

203. +1, we'll know nothing is getting done because there wont be unfettered testing. People will still

... have to wait days for a test that took days for them to fight for.

Red Don will say that testing for fevers is testing for corona and the M$M wont follow up with him but unless they test for corona that has no systems for days then we're still in the dark.

[Volaris]

206. Agreed. I'd also ante up on the idea that the results turnaround time

will be 24-36 hours for about THE FIRST 36 HOURS, and after that it will be 3-5 days, cause we send samples to quest and I fuckin guarantee you those labs are not staffed for what they're gonna get hit with.
Not even CLOSE.

[uponit7771]

207. +1

[at140]

192. The money dumped will be spent quickly, but the added debt will be permanent

[uponit7771]

195. +1, it will spent on bills nothing outside of that

[Totally Tunsie]

182. That'll feed his ego.

[uponit7771]

159. Cause he didn't piss on himself?!

[nolabear]

132. He's acting as though he's not "them." I've never been tempted to say Okay Boomer

But he’s brought it out in me.

[Trailrider1951]

140. Congratulations! The Orange Dumbass has suceeded in privatizing Public Health

Yippee!!! The're all going to make a fortune!!!

[Newest Reality]

141. What I want to know is...

Who abducted the Surgeon General and is he alright?

[IcyPeas]

150. oh yeah, he is missing too (as well as CDC director Redfield)

[SamKnause]

142. Corporations that pay zero taxes to the rescue.

I guess that is why the Dow is going up ???

[superpatriotman]

146. Those pesky regulations

Gotta get rid of those

[uppityperson]

151. Has any of them sanitized their hands or just passing it on via microphone?

[mahatmakanejeeves]

153. In this age of technology, wouldn't you think that the WH and these corporate cronies

would have the capability to tele-conference, rather than gathering in DC for a photo op. It would certainly be more expedient, adhere to travel downgrades, and "limit in-person meetings" that Chump is calling for as I type.

Oh Christ! "It will wash through; it will flow through." MORON

[spanone]

160. THAT'S IT DON, INSULT THE DEMOCRATS.....FUCK YOU

[Hortensis]

161. Trump's promising to boost oil prices and presenting that

as good for American consumers. Of course it is a balancing act, as high as the overall economy needs is good for us, but that's not what he was implying.

[Midnightwalk]

162. Thanks for the thread

Was doing other things but I honestly avoid useless addresses like this for sanity’s sake.

Reading the comments I didn’t miss anything I’m not better off reading anyway.

163. Whitewash of testing failure

[PA Democrat]

165. Blaming Democrats for lack of a bill.

188. From the Hoarse Whisperer

Link to tweet

[EndlessWire]

189. They are planning

to just sit and wait until it burns itself out, which is what they are hoping for.

I am interested in knowing about the financial aspects of managing the crisis. More than, "The Dems are not giving enough," for a reason to block the bill they sent forward.

I'm not saying that we don't need to hear the medical aspects. But, they didn't do enough when China warned them. Now they're stuck. I think we can presume that everyone will get this virus to some degree. What we really need is to hear about some financial relief to those people who really need it, from sudden child care needs to forced quarantines to bills that are due that money can't be earned for, and everything else.

He's only worried about the stock market. This I believe. Otherwise, he'd be content to sit here and wait it out, see who's left standing after it quiets down.

He's evil. He's thinking about how to hold onto power. And money. Otherwise, he wouldn't be cutting public safety nets like food stamps at a time when people are finding it difficult to earn the money they otherwise would have.

[EndlessWire]

190. He's constantly talking about nursing homes.

What's he planning to do to nursing homes? Most of them survive on medicare and medicaid. If they can't bill there, they will kick patients right out on the streets, or dump them at ERs.

So, what's he planning here?

[EndlessWire]

191. He's been asked several times

about why he is not self quarantining. He's dodging the issue.

[extvbroadcaster]

201. Pence

At some point nobody had lathered Trump's balls in about 10 minutes. He called Pence to the podium to do the job. The VP did his usual good job!
