By the way, the Lunatic-In-Chief is tweeting about "his ratings" for "his" Coronavirus Press conferences and bragging about beating The Bachelor finale ratings. He doesn't care how many Americans suffer and die, he still needs to make it all about him.

Coronavirus guidelines extended nationwide through April 30. Trump's hope of getting back to normal by Easter? "That was aspirational", he said. No sh*t lol.

So apparently at his press conference, multiple reporters read his words back to him (the various disgusting insulting comments he's made the last few days), and Trump's head exploded and he yelled at the reporters and calling them fake news. Then the next reporter repeated the exercise. That's what the reporters needs to do. Stick together and just keep pressing him with his own words. Make him look like the out-of-control lying buffoon that he is.

(I can't stand to watch him so I read the reactions on Twitter.)

It took the press two weeks (really 3.5 years) to finally figure this out. He's out there having fun trying to boost his approval ratings and because he can't have his ego boosting rallies.

Better yet, though, they should treat his press conferences like an ISIS beheading video and not show any of the actual footage of him speaking live or otherwise. Have anchors read relevant excerpts from exact transcripts of his ramblings after the briefings.

Yes, but by all means have at it . . . so on point at the moment.

Pretty sure we had moved on to Biden murdering Seth Rich this week.

This is amazing. I would actually watch his briefings if his feet were held to the fire more. The amount of nonsense he gets away with is disgusting. He should be held accountable. If not now, when?

That time will come and you can totally light into Biden then. Right now, we have a confessed sexual assaulter in the White House who is bungling his attempts to "lead" us through a deadly pandemic and in the process has crippled the nation's ability to respond and has likely cost additional lives in the process. Not to mention, he has weaponized his ability as POtuS to deny aid to states whose Governers' don't kiss his ass.

So yeah, it'd be great if maybe you save your Creepy Joe stuff for a few weeks. In the meantime, be well, take care and be safe.

I've seen people talking about this a lot in different subreddits, and from what I have seen (for what its worth) the victim we are talking about had previously said that the touching was different before in 2019. LINK

Saying that it was touching on the neck and shoulders that made her feel uncomfortable, which is still bad imo. It doesn't mean her claim is invalid, but it is worth noting.

Vox article on the subject

and no surprise, she forgot the actual assault until Biden Beat Bernie on super Tuesday. I believed Al Franken and I believe Joe.
I mean, should I bring up Bernie sexual harassment claims from the 2016 campaign like a petulant child?!
The fact this is brought up now tells me Berners will never vote for Biden, and will try and sabotage anyone who isn't Bernie in November.

Thank you, this is the exact tone I get when I hear supposed democrats bringing this up.
"welp, the press did a story on this, so IT MUST be true."

yes, in the intercept, by a woman who writes paens to Putin, reported here by greenfrog. If you verify it and adkindo comments, I win my parlay.

Also today, the POS-In-Chief said maybe the reason NY hospitals are short on masks is because people are walking out the back door with them. He was accusing overworked underprotected nurses and doctors of stealing their own supplies. Whoever looks at this piece of garbage human being and thinks "yeah, I'm voting for him again" is as completely lacking in morals as he is. This far in there's no excuse.

This is my problem with the hardcore Bernie people. They put on this air of being virtuous people who only want what is best for society and the everyman. But they are more than happy to burn down society and watch the everyman suffer if they don't get exactly what they want, exactly the way they want it and exactly when they want it. That's not virtuousness. That's psychotic.

The accuser is suspect and the accusations can never be proven. What more is there to discuss?

Except he just did Meet the Press today, did other shows recently, does video streams, and releases statements almost daily.

As someone that is not an elected politician now and someone that is following the recommendations of his governor in his own state, what else can he do?

Trump's using COVID-19 to stay in the public's eye to early campaign. IMO he's telling so many lies he's doing more harm to himself than good. Biden must be laying low for a reason. He may be planning to use Trumps lies in a volley of adds.

Biden can't be seen as overtly trying to take political advantage of his crisis. But he also can't just disappear for the next few months. He has to find a good middle path and I think he's doing just fine. Of course, the most passionate in the Bernie movement only see what they want to see and they've decided he has disappeared, while Bernie is the driving force of all that's good within the stimulus bill, while have nothing to do with the rest of the bill that he voted for.
