The reason I pointed them out and not the newsmen was there was a lot of coverage of "Him" putting them down. They made "Him" look even smaller than he is. Thanks Ladies.

they're not? Those "ladies" are hardly the first or the only, questions like that are asked all the time and I don't see the point of this.

Trump's mental disorder almost certainly makes him literally incapable of blaming himself for anything. You will never hear him say he's responsible.

Anyway, while you're complaining about those journalists, what about the ones covering congress? Why aren't they going after the senate Republicans who are every bit as responsible?

The legislative branch passes laws the president is required to carry out. McConnell has instead been blocking all action he can get away with from the very beginning. Think January!

In the beginning that was ALL action. Only as the death totals grew and millions were forced out of work did McConnell & Co. pass economic legislation that they tried to use as a channel to divert more of the nation's wealth UPWARD. They have continued to block all Democratic attempts to take real action to control the pandemic.

WHY? WITH WHAT GOALS? As authoritarians around the planet use the pandemic to grab more power.

WaPo: U.S. labor market tumbles closer to Depression levels 22 million Americans filed for unemployment in past four weeks. Economists say the jobless rate is well into the teens and could remain as high as 10 percent through the end of the year, even after the economy reopens.

In MI, as the virus rages a QUARTER of the workforce is filing. That IS depression level.

It’s a shame, really. Newspeople feel compelled to cover every word that a President speaks. Unfortunately, THIS particular so-called pResident LIES ALL THE TIME, so that precious almighty fucking access only serves to spread this “virus”, in other words: LIES.

He has never accepted responsibility for anything in his miserable excuse for a life. When he signed contracts expressly stating his responsibilities he ignored them. Why on earth would he start now?
