President Trump Holds Coronavirus Briefing
President Trump gives an update on the federal response to the coronavirus pandemic as several states face big spikes in positive cases.

[soothsayer]

1. Ha! So 5:30? 6?

[doc03]

2. Thanks for the warning I will be sure and

not watch it.

[mahatmakanejeeves]

3. CHiPs is on Charge TV.

Meanwhile, MeTV is showing Adam-12.

I watch for the AMC Matadors.

The schedule for Trump's ZIP code:

[doc03]

4. I watch Adam 12. 5-6. nt

[mahatmakanejeeves]

6. You can't go wrong with Jack Webb. NT

[doc03]

12. Pete and Jim got to be the nicest cops ever. Today

we have Blue Bloods and Chicago PD it's like a coarse on how to be a bad cop. Cutting ears off, putting guns to a guys head threatening to drop them from buildings.

[Walleye]

20. My favorite TV cop is Lt. Anita Van Buren, original Law and Order

[underpants]

5. Thanks. I was going to start a thread.

With this brand new iPad Air I paid $100 at the Apple store today. Replacement for my original one. It’s battery was basically dead.

[jls4561]

7. I will only watch if malaise officially declares a "shit show" thread and posts snarky comments,

enabling me to ignore whatever self-aggrandizing lies BLOTUS is spewing.

[malaise]

11. I'm declaring this thread the shitshow thread

with the shithound and his lackeys

[jls4561]

13. Okay! Let the mocking begin (probably half an hour late, as usual)!

[malaise]

17. Shithound starts with responding to the China virus

on to the relief package - he's now mourning every precious life that was lost - 142,000 dead people later. A PR speech - vaccines are coming back to the 'C' virus.

[soothsayer]

8. I'm starting the tangerine margaritas!

Even though I’ve never seen him show up on time

[underpants]

10. I have a vodka drink

I wasn’t drinking when these s shows were on everyday. I thought it might help.

[IcyPeas]

28. pour me one please

[soothsayer]

34. I'm nursing it but it's good

Might be into the second one by time he pops up.

[Ms. Toad]

9. Why 5:02, and when is the Sarah Cooper translation? n/t

[malaise]

14. Because he has no clue about punctuality

The shitshow can start anytime between the time announced and 6.00pm. All he desires is to fuck up prime time news everywhere and the idiot media allow it.
It will not be a virus meeting. It will be another campaign rally. I'm betting he responds to Biden today.

[Ms. Toad]

15. He won't be able to help himself -

and all the new crap about a changed tone will be out the window - and he will cancell further press conferences when he gets bad press.

[malaise]

19. It's already out of the window in the first sentence

He's hopeless

[Ms. Toad]

29. Brave soul to be watching. I'm waiting for the Sarah Cooper translation.

Can't stand to hear his voice.

[underpants]

18. You know if he (they) had a brain they'd time this to be the lead on the 6:30 news

I can’t find the article now but Chris Cillizza had one today in which WH staff are telling him:
It will just be him
It will be short
He will take questions
He may discuss other topics


Cillizza was laughing out loud at it being short

[malaise]

22. You answered your own question

He does not have a brain - it's pea size or Goya bean size

This is more bullshit

[uponit7771]

16. starts off with "China virus", damn we don't care bout wtf else is happening with his life.

[underpants]

21. CNN isn't carrying it yet

Flipped over to MSNBC because Brian Williams recaps are hilarious

[Yavin4]

23. Reboots of bad TV shows never really work

They should cancel this one for good.

[underpants]

25. I disagree

Give this moron all the rope and the biggest shovel he wants.

[underpants]

24. It's on FOX and MSNBC not CNN

at least it wasn’t. Flipped over to MSNBC.

[malaise]

26. lies, lies lies lies

and more lies

May countries are suffering very very very badly

[uponit7771]

27. Oh BULL FUCKIN SHIT !! He's now showing chart with US having lowest CFR, that's not true

[jls4561]

31. Put this on Biden's to-do-list: Abolish ministry of disinformation.

[uponit7771]

32. +1

[IcyPeas]

30. he said spice instead of spike

[underpants]

36. He's is horrible at reading this. There's almost no breaks between points.

and he sounds like he’s just punching the clock

[IcyPeas]

38. daniel dale:

This is one of those New Trump prepared speeches that, historically, has been immediately followed by unscripted Trump/Twitter Trump sounding like he always sounds.

Link to tweet

[uponit7771]

33. BULLSHIT !!! hospitals in 5 states are ***CLOSING*** elective surgery capacity cause of CV19

[underpants]

35. People call him for information on ventilators

Like he’s ventilator tech support

[SharonClark]

37. Chuck Todd and MSNBC have silenced him and are fact checking him

[IcyPeas]

43. it's on CSpan3

[underpants]

44. I flipped over to Fox

I want to see it. Analysis will be all night.

[Mossfern]

39. Questions now

wait they're pulling back for clarification fact checking about the LIES!

I wanna see him answer questions - just for shits and giggles.

[jls4561]

40. No Governor needs anything right now?

Testing supplies? Remdesivir? PPE that's not garbage bags? Enough masks so hospital workers don't have to reuse them?

What do you say, Gavin? Is this true? I'd also like to hear from Larry Hogan.

[soothsayer]

41. K-lie said he gets multiple tests some days

He’s like, eh, couple times a week.

[IcyPeas]

42. rinse repeat. I closed the border

[nolabear]

45. Just seeing the Q&A. I'm not impressed.

[IcyPeas]

46. he wishes Ghislaine Maxwell well. WTF

[malaise]

49. She's got the goods on him

Be afraid if he wishes you well

[underpants]

50. My wife and my heads snapped towards each other

WTF indeed

[nolabear]

47. He wishes Gislaine Maxwell well??? Oh she's got something on him.

Sure he’s not paying attention.

[underpants]

52. What the what?

My wife and I almost heard our necks looking at each other.

[nolabear]

56. He just made the headline. 😄

[underpants]

48. He wishes Ghislaine Maxwell well

He said they used to see her all the time.

[Mossfern]

67. He doesn't understand

that what she and Epstein were doing was evil.
He fits right in with them.

[nolabear]

51. Carrying a mask doesn't work, Spanky. Can he say anything straight?

[underpants]

55. Embers and some big fires

DeSantis is a great Governor.

[nolabear]

62. My eyes rolled so often I have a headache.

[malaise]

58. The only thing strait he needs is a strait jacket

He is stark raving mad - by tomorrow he'll be screaming that he pushed masks and social distancing before anyone else and he never said the virus was a hoax.

Bet your money that he lies about a vaccine before the election.

[nolabear]

64. It was lackluster at best. Glad he was called out about last night.

He wasn’t wearing a mask. He’s just saying words.

[malaise]

73. I took away two things

Like Fuckie Todd I think that wishing Maxwell well puts him right back in the Epstein sex trafficking story. His belief that he could tell the American people that the economy will be great next year (as if they are complete idiots) did make me laugh.

This entire shitshow was to address his atrocious poll numbers. I was very surprised that he didn't attack Biden.

[nolabear]

74. It's #1 on Twitter and ALL anyone can talk about is Maxwell.

It’s a miracle his staffers aren’t on suicide watch.

[malaise]

75. He never fails to fuck things up himself

I'm not on Twitter but that's great to hear.
Too good

[Yavin4]

53. He's doing a complete 180 on covid-19.

This confirms that the polls are right.

[underpants]

59. Yes he's trying to reshape it.

[Yavin4]

69. And this is why the polls will tighten.

Today marked the start of a come back for Trump.

[underpants]

71. Mmmm not sure

This typically is perfect for reshaping a campaign - vacation time - but way more people are at home watching this than normal. He’s going to really step of the “acting like he actually gives a F” bit.

The media will keep him afloat because they need two horses.

[edhopper]

77. no it won't

He will still push for everything to open

[nolabear]

54. He's stupid. He's just plain stupid.

That is all.

[underpants]

63. He actually didn't do that bad

Other than reading the prepared remarks like it was someone else’s report.

[nolabear]

66. If your bar is so low it's in a ditch--LOL!

[underpants]

72. Well I meant compared to the old show

Let’s not forget this was day one. His nature is his nature.

[Hortensis]

76. Yes. To him the virus is a loser issue that doesn't flatter him,

and it's about ratings and getting cheers from his base. It's also irritating and boring him.

He'll never stick to it, even with 100% lies. He's mentally disordered and can't.

[spanone]

57. lots of softballs lobbed at the don today...

Schools anyone? Children? Hello? FUCK THE MASKS

[jls4561]

60. FREE ANTHONY FAUCI!!!

[underpants]

65. LOL

[IcyPeas]

61. damn, no one followed up on the bleach/disinfectant question

[TheCowsCameHome]

68. He's working to aleviate the shortage

[GulfCoast66]

70. Oh darn. Cooking my first big batch of Ramen broth.

Guess I’ll have to miss it.
