Today's shitshow is late again - now scheduled to start at 5.45pm

[malaise]

It should be a battle between the Bright (as in Dr. Rick Bright) and the shithound, wannabe Dr. What'sinitforme.

Uncle MIT won't save him today.


Dr Rick Bright is also better looking than the Con - and he has his hair

[NRaleighLiberal]

1. not here. beer on the deck, reading Grapes of Wrath to my wife,

pizza, some Tillamook ice cream, evening walk.

[malaise]

4. Great book

Enjoy. I'm watching for all of us. Going to ride the stationary bike after Jeopardy.
Cooking some peppery chicken chilli right now.

[malaise]

18. Check this out - you'll both howl with laughter

[lunatica]

66. It's a good book with one of the crappiest, infuriating endings of all time

When I finished it I literally threw it across the room. It’s like Steinbeck suddenly got bored with it and just ended it with unrelenting soul killing misery.

Up to that point though, it was good.

[ZZenith]

70. WHAT?!

I beg to differ on the ending of T.G.O.W.

One of the defining moments of Western Literature.

[lunatica]

72. Sure if you want to get a debilitating kick for your unrelenting clinical depression

Why bother to only be depressed?

[ZZenith]

77. Human condition!

Hope, Faith, Charity, Kindness. Good deeds in the midst of unimaginable grief.

Hmmmmm...

[lunatica]

79. It wasn't anything of the sort

Steinbeck brought us to the climax and without a scintilla of denouement he suddenly ends the story, like he was too bored to really show the human condition.

[ZZenith]

84. Probably why it didn't win a Pulitzer.

[NRaleighLiberal]

103. totally disagree, though we've still got 8 pages left. My wife and I find it

both brilliant and utterly applicable to what we are seeing today

[lunatica]

104. I said it was a good book

with a lousy ending. The reason I hated the ending was precisely because it was a good book otherwise.

[NRaleighLiberal]

106. when I finish it, I will share my impressions...

Good is way too weak a word for it to me - I see it as a stunning achievement

[HipChick]

2. I prob got time

to fit an hr of treadmill in

Keep my BP down...

[malaise]

11. Walking and the stationary bike

keep my stress levels down. Never had a BP problem

[Brainfodder]

3. The Tonight Show: Assholes Edition?

[malaise]

8. Another DUer called it Groundhog Day

It's almost the same shit daily

[Zorro]

12. Groundfog Day

[malaise]

17. The fog of the war on lies

DUzy

[Doreen]

21. The word "almost" needs to be removed from your sentence.

[malaise]

23. No because there is a fresh new lie

daily

[Doreen]

31. Good point.

It's just so hard to tell the difference between each one each day.

[jimfields33]

5. Could care less

Haven’t watched any since the second one he gave. Watched about 5 of Governor Cuomo’s. All repetitive and you get more information on here.

[LiberalArkie]

6. May be the reanimation and paint job is taking longer today

[Brother Mythos]

7. I'll be skipping this episode of the "Trump Pandemic Live" (TPL) show.

But, I would appreciate it if someone would let me know if they introduced a new, really good "Guest Liar."

[Walleye]

9. Takes along time to chop up all that Adderall

[pwb]

10. It takes time to defend new lies every day.

They got caught with Russia seems the whole family committed treason after all. The death toll may get a mention.

[malaise]

15. He will be on the defensive today

He should have been removed from office.

[gademocrat7]

13. Can't stand to listen to the orange buffoon.

Cooking a pot roast with vegetables. Much better for my emotional health.

[malaise]

16. Chicken chilli with celery rice and string beans here

Lots of pepper

[Mossfern]

60. Lentil barley soup

with black bread and butter.

[malaise]

62. Hmmmmmmmmmmm

Love black bread and lentil soup- sounds good

[Mossfern]

67. A family favorite

but I may rename it to Covid-Lentil soup - we already have Blizzard Lasagna, and when the kids were small, we had Chicken with Bugs (herbs).

[hatrack]

14. Darn! Got a bike ride scheduled for right around then . . .

[In_The_Wind]

19. Enjoy your ride, hatrack.

My dog will need a walk about then.

[Iliyah]

20. They have to re-group from todays "breaking news" . . .

They all have to be in unison with the propaganda and forever lies. fake news (Murdoch) prepares for 24/7 coverage of said propaganda and forever lies. Judge whatever needs to rush to the liquor store for a gallon of vodka. Hannity needs to his consult with the guru of many fantasizes. treason barr must look into the crystal ball of liar's law, and republican congresscritters follow suit.

[malaise]

24. It's now 6.09

even later than usual - he has no fucking discipline, no respect for anyone else's time

[malaise]

28. Redfield says it will be more complicated but he didn't say it would be worse

Redfield just said the same thing differently knowing fully well that this fool won't get it.

[Marrah_Goodman]

22. I don't know how anyone can stand to watch these

I would break my TV.

[malaise]

25. Shithound has arrived

Tremendous things are happening

[Marrah_Goodman]

26. Bigly?

[11 Bravo]

27. Fourth word out of his mouth - "tremendous".

The over/under was ten.

I bet the under ... and won.

[malaise]

30. See #25

He has a really poor vocabulary.

The Con won't let the doctor answer follow up questions

[Baclava]

29. STOP BROADCASTING THE SHITSHOW! All networks, cease immediately!

I have never, and never will watch that garbage

[malaise]

35. The networks aren't showing this

They are tearing him a new one now because Redfield said exactly what the WP said it said.

[Baclava]

38. MSNBC, CNN, they are all MSM, of course they are!

[malaise]

41. The Con is giving his opinion on whether the virus comes back again and

we will not go through what we've been through - Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah this is priceless - he's spoken to ten different people.
This fucking man is crazy - bat shit crazy.

[Baclava]

46. You have a stronger stomach than I do! I can't stand a second of him, anywhere, lol

[malaise]

50. I like to see things for myself

Clips don't work. No one will ever have to tell me what he said

[mentalsolstice]

82. Me too!

Don’t get me wrong I hate POS with the heat of a 1000+ blazing suns. However, I’m a history buff, and this is historical as it gets. I’m 59 yo, my spouse is 73, and we hope can come out on the other side. We hope we can go to the beach, restaurants, entertain family and friends, as well as visit them. And we can all relate our experiences with each other.

[malaise]

83. Same here - I detest him but I want my own record of his pandemic briefings

aka free political rallies

[mentalsolstice]

95. I'm too young to remember JFK

I kinda remember MLK and RFK. Of course there was 9-11, it was a tragedy and changed up a lot up a lot of our lives. Katrina really hit us hard, as my husband is from NOLA, it was devastating to see landmarks of his childhood memories totally wiped out, to go to the mausoleum where his parents and grandparents were interred and see the waterline where it flooded.

This thing directly affects us. We live in an area that depends on tourism seasons. Locals don’t want to see our favorite little beach joints suffer, yet we’re worried about a deluge of people who couldn’t come down for spring break and overwhelming our infrastructure.

So yeah, I’m watching.

[mentalsolstice]

32. Obviously need a big meds adjustment!

Did he snort too much adderall, and needed a downer? Or was he “sundowning” and needed something for that?

[Totally Tunsie]

33. The "expert" Redfield is no better.

"We had it contained at 14 cases." Ummmm, except NOT! If that were true, there wouldn't be over 800,000 cases now.

Of course, he's also retracting what he said yesterday about the flu/COVID season for late 2020. Now, it'll just be "more difficult".

[malaise]

37. The expert Don the Con is now waxing lyrically saying it won't come back

[Solomon]

34. Redfield sucking up to the Orange anus!

[malaise]

36. Not sure - he is saying the same thing that was in the WP

Just playing with words because the Con is clueless

[Solomon]

39. I can't stand these fuckers!

[malaise]

65. We call them licky licky here

It's sickening

[Solomon]

40. Oh now it's fucking embers.

Embers!

[jcgoldie]

42. Why does he stand there like hes hanging on a meat hook

Hunched and arms dangling. Very strange.

[malaise]

45. That's his bullshitting pose

[JohnnyLib2]

43. So damn confident in his ignorance.

Really, a deadly combination at this point.

[malaise]

48. That's why I watch

It is something to watch a total con try to sell this shit

[demmiblue]

44. He is an insane, controlling asshole.

[Solomon]

56. He's frickin obnoxious!!

Blue Angels and Thunderbirds. We're going to celebrate winning so much. Air parade.

[Ilsa]

47. Trump is pissed that the experts are predicting that COVID-19

will not be going away and will possibly compete for medical attention during the flu season.

[malaise]

49. Messing up his campaign

He spoke to all these world leaders and they are all so impressed Holy fucking shit!!

[HipChick]

51. Where did Trump get his medical degree?

Trump University?

[malaise]

53. from his uncle at MIT

[HipChick]

55. 45K dead, and millions out of work

and they are putting on a damn airshow?

[LuckyCharms]

52. I sense this one is going to get real dicey.

[Totally Tunsie]

54. Oooooooooooo, pissy pissy today!

Christ! He's all over the place.

First he slams opening up personal contact businesses - "If Kemp wants to, I won't stop him but I wouldn't recommend it." - and in the next breath, he talks about the "wonderful, dangerous air shows" coming up which, I presume, will attract viewers.

[nolabear]

57. Oh good. He wants a July 4th celebration.

[JohnnyLib2]

59. Ol' VP Mike has to take that back.

We hope!

[malaise]

61. He is stark raving mad

believe me on that

[nolabear]

81. Honey I'm a mental health professional.

If every copy of the DSM doesn’t feature his photo under about half the Axis II personality disorders it won’t be because we aren’t in favor of it.

And I’d bet a year’s pay on comorbid drug abuse but I can’t swear to it. He’s a walking case study. I half wish I wasn’t retired—though I still teach—so I could listen in on more professional meetings.

[leftyladyfrommo]

76. I don't. I hate that holiday. Every year my poor dog's

Go nuts.

[nolabear]

58. "Harvard. That's Harvard University."

Stop! I can’t breathe!

[DesertRat]

63. He's going to have the Blue Angels fly over some cities

That will help fight the coronavirus...

[HipChick]

73. Money would be better spent

on getting tests for anyone that wanted to be tested...

[DesertRat]

74. It sure would

Instead of a big, showy waste of money

[uponit7771]

102. +1

[Mossfern]

64. Does he know what kind of tree he planted?

The nerve to claim that he celebrates Earth Day.

[malaise]

75. Of course not but he looks like he's ready to

choke Dr Fauci. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah there will be coronavirus in the fall.

[IcyPeas]

85. hilarious headline from new york daily news:

Climate-change denier Trump plants a tree to celebrate Earth Day

https://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/ny-trump-tree-planting-earth-day-environment-20200422-vz47rknqjzfffifh2i4mtczwmq-story.html

by the way.... it was a maple tree.

[bullwinkle428]

68. I went out for "Part II" of my daily walk once he started droning, and he was still

at it when I came back inside and turned on the TV! Okay, now Lt. Col. Toady McButtsmooch is now speaking, and genuflecting toward King Tangeranus.

[D_Master81]

69. What's the point?

Daily we have these press rallies that are little news and info and more Trump making his case that he’s doing a great job.

[Mossfern]

71. Husband changed the station

to the news - Covid 24/7.

[DesertRat]

78. bitterness disgust anger

Link to tweet

[D_Master81]

86. Aka

Everything he’s done since 2015.

[tblue37]

105. This is the one that chills me:

Link to tweet

[DesertRat]

107. Yikes

[Mossfern]

80. So contridictory about testing

he's all over the place and lying.
I think that he believes his lies.

[malaise]

97. He's all over the place on everything

He's way out of his depth

[Totally Tunsie]

87. How's that social distancing working for ya'?

Once again, standing shoulder to shoulder.

[jayfish]

88. Words to live by:

"Biologically, anything is possible."

[IcyPeas]

89. trump asked about the labradoodle guy...

hasn't heard about that either.

[malaise]

92. Bwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah

In summary - the Con knows nothing and is not responsible for anything.
Blame the governors for anything that goes wrong praise him for anything he says went right...time for Jeopardy

[HipChick]

90. So why does he never know what is going on in his own administration?

[malaise]

93. No one is appointed without him knowing

More lies

[Totally Tunsie]

91. Redfield's "barrier" will do wonders in his pocket.

Putting it on his face might work better, however.

[Totally Tunsie]

94. "The food supply is totally secure."

There's just none available to ship to the empty stores, though.

[nolabear]

96. I swear I am going to rip my eyeballs out.

I have never in my life seen anybody lie his ass off, claim up is down one day and East is west the next, insult, obfuscate, babble, everything but actually speak coherent thoughts like this abominable creature dies.

It’s incredible. Can we ever recover from this?

[malaise]

98. It's all coming to a crashing halt

I'm living for that moment

[HipChick]

100. Did you see how mad he got when that reporter mentioned that other person's 'Gifts'?

What an insecure little man..JFC...

[malaise]

101. Missed it - Jeopardy

Just watched the clip in the break
https://www.democraticunderground.com/100213332056

[jayfish]

99. I Loved The End.
