1. well i am sure they are pretty shocked that drumpf...

displayed no command of the issue, appeared clueless, and was more interested in protecting his reelection prospects by blaming stock sell offs on the Democrats.

A real departure from his normally well informed and not politically motivated statements

6. Those bloodsuckers are just demading more tax breaks.

I hope they are the first to get ill.

2. The Pencenator is on it

He put that total idiot science hating chunk in charge of it. My word. We are screwed.

7. Both pence and trump then just regurgitated stock phrases from past campaign

rallies and threw in the word virus every now and then.

[Me.]

3. Yep!

[Butterflylady]

4. Why would it.

They don't believe anything he says.

5. Trump said we're still blocking flights from China, so companies' supply chains are still fucked.

And Dr. Anthony Fauci stood next to the orange shitgibbon and contradicted his lie about a vaccine coming "soon"--noting we won't have a vaccine for at least a year.

So yeah, that press conference only assuaged Fox numbskulls.

Oh, and yesterday was Mardi Gras down in Brazil, who just reported their first Corvid-19 case. A lot of Americans will be returning over the next few days from enjoying carnival down there...

8. Did you see Trumps face when Dr Fauci David that?

He was livid.

10. No, the networks cut away. LOL.

I'll have to look it up on YouTube.

12. Great time to lose Fauci for contradicting the Emperor of Everything.

And Rush has convinced the great orange blob that the head of the CDC is the villain of the piece because she's Rod Rosenstein's sister. Pence no doubt agrees.

9. "We're adding this to Jared's portfolio! And Ivanka is supplying the science stuff!

Our charity will collect money to send students to Paula White's newest hit class at Trump university: Don't pay the doctor, man! And Vlad has told us who to purge!"

[SunSeeker]

11. That is not a whole lot different than giving it to Pence. nt

[Wellstone ruled]

13. So let's take a look.

we are as of 4pm eastern,some 2000+points down on the Dow since Friday. And the a fore show graph shows -287 on the overnight opening while the Orange Anus laid another smelly turd on the Nation.

So we are now some -2300+and losing ground as the clock ticks forward.

And this is all because the Democrat party,whom ever that is,is to fault.

Enough,hey dipshit,this Democratic Party member is taking a fucking bath because of your stupid policies.
