Had to turn off the televised Congessional Covid hearing at which the "White House corona virus

team" was testifying. Without exception that I heard, all complimented Trump's "plan" and agreed repeatedly that his decisions had saved lives.

All, including Fauci, are spineless ass-kissers---period.

We have no real idea how bad things are as long as Trump controls the numbers and the propaganda.

How many lives have been saved by Donald Trump's ongoing mixed messaging on wearing masks, social distancing, and federal support for states and businesses that have had to shut down because the administration is treating this pandemic as a political problem instead of a public health emergency?

Linking to tblue37’s thread from last night.

You aren’t going to believe how f’ed up this was or how coldly calculated it was. Long read but worth it.

It seems to have went over all their heads.

This hearing is a suck-up fest for Trump.

I don't know what the hell is wrong with him today.

Studies have shown that protest did not increase numbers of Covid-19.

I wish he would have said that as well.

Its like it sitting there, waiting for someone to say it. This is turning into the usual shitshow Trump apologists fests they always do.

Twitler is definitely perched on the strained edge of his seat for this. Not doubt most of Rs are assuming this judging from their performances.

There'd always a little extra venom from him when's talking about a black person.
