It's a thank you fest. They walk up, thank Trump, say

a few words, then the next one pops up. Some have thanked Trump again before walking away.

I am talking about the press briefing currently taking place at the WH with President Tide Pod.

a milomindbending event where the spittle starts flying out of his nostrils and he makes those gurglygoo sounds while screaming at the top of his lungs that his hamberders were never done properly. Then he wishes melaria a happy birthday and goes on a 3 minute bronx cheer fest.

Yes, I dream, but I dream big.......

This is one of the dumber press conferences they’ve done. It felt like the string of companies that stepped up to kiss Trump’s ass and pat themselves on the back just dragged on and on.

that needs to be tested gets it down and gets the results back the same day. If other countries are doing that, we should be too. None of those numbers are saying anything about how we compare with other countries.

I will be loyal to them forever! I don't get cable, just the bare bones basic and I like to have the TV on in the background unless I am listening to music just so there isn't dead silence.

I switch to MeTV at 7pm w/ all the old reruns (MASH, Andy Griffith, Green Acres, Hogan's Heroes, Alfred Hitchcock, Twilight Zone, Gilligan's Island, etc.) But now they even have him on later than the news networks until about 8pm.

I refuse to watch him. I come here to get the rundown, and that still pisses me off, but I can't stand the sight or sound of him.
