Trump says it's 'ridiculous' for the federal government to test people in parking lots --

— but he promised exactly that weeks ago

Published 8 mins ago on April 16, 2020

At Thursday’s White House task force briefing, President Donald Trump emphasized that states are on the front lines of testing efforts, and dismissed as “ridiculous” the idea that the federal government is supposed to get people tested in parking lots.

This is a considerable about-face from just a few weeks ago, when the president boasted that he had called up the CEOs of several big box stores and said that they were going to set up federally-supported testing facilities … in parking lots.

Parking lots. Eww.

Let’s cram tens of thousands of people into hospitals for their tests. Makes tons more sense.

When you’re a fucking Moron.

We went for a drive after dinner and skipped the s storm today.

That was the whole point of the CEO parade press conference.

we are going to in this COVID-19 nightmare. Republicans could stop this tomorrow, but that would mean they are realizing the insanity of the POTUS they alone are propping up. So, January, 2021, is the earliest we can deal with this.

When my nephew-in-law had it, his doctor appointment for it took place in his car in the alley behind the doctor's office. His flu test was negative, but he was not eligible for a Covid-19 test.

He had a mild case, required no hospitalization and is now recovered. My niece and their daughter also had it, also mild cases from which they're recovered. Their sons didn't get it -- go figure.

If it's not ridiculous to see patients in the alley, there's nothing ridiculous about testing people in parking lots. Spanky's an idiot.
