[samnsara]

[NRaleighLiberal]

3. sorry, will be busy jabbing my hands into cacti

[Newest Reality]

4. Fake News.

Another box of hoaxes, huh?

I have zero-confidence in Don and the Corona Gang. There are many, reliable sources to bet your health and life on.

[Alacritous Crier]

5. This MF...

needs to STFU and stay away from the cameras for quite a while.

[walkingman]

6. I wish the stupid MF would just shut his mouth and leave any press conference to the

medical experts. Every time he opens his mouth my 401K drops.

7. OMG. That Fux News caller into CSPAn

Fux news is KILLING people. It literally is!!

This guy called in saying the federal govt needs to crack down on the “corrupt media” and that Obama did nothing about swine flu until 18,000 had died

Omg. Obama declared a public health emergency after the very first death! And swine flu had a mortality rate of 0.02% (only 20% as deadly as normal flu). Covid-19 is ~2%. 100x worse than swine flu

But Fux keeps their cultists in abject ignorance

[nolabear]

8. McDonalds. He's consulting McDonalds...

[bullwinkle428]

11. Insane Clown President is personally assured the Big Mac conveyor belt to his mouth

won't come screeching to a halt.

[greenjar_01]

9. Trump can practice his "serious but muted" persona again

Dipshit.

[Mr. Sparkle]

10. why do republicans always have goons standing in the background?

Mitch is the same, he wont have a press conference on his own. Is it trying to look like macho kinda thing

[malaise]

12. DOW as he heads to the podium

+474.72

[malaise]

13. Pence is such an ass-licker

We're focusing on President Con's priority of testing

[bullwinkle428]

14. Pence now trying to downplay the role of testing. SOB.

[Mr. Sparkle]

15. Trump looks low energy and he sounds a bit sick.

[malaise]

16. They'd better stop now

DOW can't take any more
