The COVID Task Force was popular??!! WTF

[edhopper]

Trump said he is not ending the Task Force because it was popular! Not because it would save lives or we fucking need health officials making decisions, but it's fucking popular.

And I saw no one in the media call him out for this idiotic and dangerous statement.

It is beyond mind boggling.

1. Ratings--nothing else matters to Tweety Amin. nt

2. Oh, yes!

They have excellent ratings.

If it weren't for the Doctors, who would watch the briefings?

[spanone]

3. so when is the next task farce briefing?

trump also said he wore his mask 'backstage' at the 'mask' photo op the other day.

it's all showbiz to him.

[unblock]

4. Beyond mind boggling that people still support him

You don't even hear people saying, ok yeah, he's bonkers, but it's worth it for my tax cut or whatever. His supporters can't even acknowledge that he's bonkers! They have to pretend he's right about absolutely everything!

7. So true!

It's fucking 1984.

5. We had DU threads narrating and reacting to it every day.

Despite repeated suggestions to not watch it.

6. And that call to Ukraine's leader was perfect.

And Trump actually won all 50 states.

8. So if you try to blow off work...

and your boss informs you that you NEED to come in and do your job...

the only possible conclusion is that you must be really popular at work?
