******Coronavirus Task Force Meeting THREAD #2 ********

[PA Democrat]

Pence won't blame rising cases on early opening.

[PA Democrat]

1. Pence is blaming young people.

[uponit7771]

4. +1, indicating in a multitude of ways everything is normal has NOTHING to do with higher spread

[PA Democrat]

2. Question is what is not working

Pence blew it off. Fauci talks about better contact tracing and work within communities.

[backtoblue]

3. Birx

People getting tone deaf to health warnings

[PA Democrat]

6. Many are listening to the idiot in chief

[uponit7771]

8. +1, but fails to say its cause in part the president is indicating everything is OK and not wearing

... mask is cool

What assholes.

[Grammy23]

5. He won't wear a mask either.

And no amount of shaming will make him. He is incorrigible. If he gets the virus, he has only himself to blame. Well, and tRump.

[soothsayer]

9. Please get it, pence, and give it to Donnie

[soothsayer]

7. Pence praying again that people don't die

Claiming numbers on death are good.

[DesertRat]

10. The Mike Pence Pandemic Propaganda Power Hour

Link to tweet

[PA Democrat]

14. +1

[PA Democrat]

11. Reporter asks aren't we going to see rising death numbers in the next 2 weeks

Pence is engaging in magical thinking.

Hey, maybe he should just say we've already killed off a lot of the old people, so numbers will be lower.

[soothsayer]

12. They're so hoping that only young people get this...

... and don’t die

[uponit7771]

19. +1, but that didn't work in Spain ... the young people got it and the young people died.

[wcmagumba]

13. Hopes and Prayers...

Hopes and Prayers...Hopes and Prayers...Hopes and Prayers...Hopes and Prayers...Hopes and Prayers...

[Newest Reality]

15. Are they sure...

Are they sure they are not confusing themselves with the Space Force? It's like they are floating in the void or on another planet.

Into THE TASK ROCKET!

[Vinca]

16. I listened to part of it and to hear them talk you'd think it's all good.

According to them, Dear Leader has done such a wonderful job we have made great progress since March. I had to laugh when Mike Pence said how proud he was that every American who needed a ventilator got a ventilator. Can you imagine? That's the good news?

[uponit7771]

28. +1, we're heading towards 50,000 a day and not slowing down without high level NPI like NY did

... in Texas and Florida.

We're screwed, 60 million Americans got swing flu and Obama admin was reality based

[Mersky]

17. Oooo that was some tough questioning from

Paula Reid of CBS

[backtoblue]

21. +1

Hes still dancing around it.

[Mersky]

31. Then had to skedaddle right after

He danced around answering to the irresponsible and dangerous choice of the pResident to campaign in the manner that he has in recent days.

[backtoblue]

34. He should wear ballet shoes

That was some major jumps, skips, and turns.

[Mersky]

39. True that

I will say it was a better dismount than the other day when he bounded up the stairs, albeit just as gross.

Classic VP Pants maneuvers.

[mnmoderatedem]

27. was that who it was?

I didn't know who, but one reporter asked a touch question regarding trump's own secret service testing positive and the fact that he held rallies in Tulsa and Arizona and did not require masks, and Pence responded with a long winded "freedom of expression" defense type of answer.

Lame

[Mersky]

38. That was the name on the chyron

Incidentally, I was watching the coverage on CBS - was the first channel airing it that I found flipping through the dial of the digital antenna.

Turned it right off afterwards - I despise the local channel, as it’s a sinclair outlet. Bleh.

[soothsayer]

40. Boy I loved the Sinclair dinosaur as a kid

Only did I later realize gasoline was made of....

[Mersky]

41. Ha.

Hadn’t thought about that logo in years. I’ll prolly associate that with the broadcast company for some nightmare one of these nights. Will report back if it’s interesting enough.

[soothsayer]

18. Last Q. Do as we say not as we do?

Oklahoma all your USSS got sick. You packed AZ with young people. What’s up?

A. Free speech!!

[PA Democrat]

22. How can you say listen to local health authorities and then DEFY them with your rallies?

PENCE: FREEDUMB!!!

[backtoblue]

24. Just ended it

Coward.

[PA Democrat]

30. Questions were getting too tough. Besides his job was done: stroke Trump's ego.

[uponit7771]

20. Why is Birx always running from follow up fuckin questions, my goodness these people are horrible

[soothsayer]

25. I hate her for that

[soothsayer]

23. And he's gone

[demmiblue]

26. Mealy-mouthed asshole.

[uponit7771]

32. +1

[soothsayer]

29. I don't know what I expected, but not that

[PA Democrat]

36. Only positive was the absence of Trump.

Absolutely useless unless you take a strong stance on masks and social distancing and smart reopening strategies.

Your rights to assemble and to free speech are not unlimited if you put others at risk. Pence is a asshole. Sorry. There I said it. He is a flaming asshole.

[soothsayer]

33. We're on our own, peeps

Do the right thing because no one is going to help us.

[soothsayer]

35. PS you should do the right thing anyway

But don’t expect help

[jls4561]

37. Freedom of speech and the right to peaceably assemble is guaranteed by the Constitution unless

the Bunker Boy wants a photo op. In which case, gas the people.
