yesterdays one featured some Category 5 orange fellatio by a jebus weirdo textile magnate.

“God gave us grace on November 8, 2016, to change the course we were on,” Lindell began, referencing the day Trump was elected president. “Taken out of our schools and lives, a nation had turned its back on God.”


Then some shit about using the time to "read our bibles".

A floundering medieval backwater shithole where a wealthy industrialised nation should be.

Growing calls for the media to boycott showing the whole hour-plus whine-fest, and produce something edited/constructive for public consumption.

From a conference call on Monday between some of the US state governors and the Whitehouse and following a governor saying they were short of testing kits, short of ppe, and unable to find markets to correct that a stable genius said

'I haven't heard about testing in weeks. we've tested more now than any nation in the world, we've got these great tests and we're coming out with another one tomorrow where it's almost instantaneous testing. but I haven't heard about testing being a problem'

Who is he not listening to that he doesn't know what even one of the most basic problems is, or is he simply flay out lying? This ongoing portrail of everything as though he was Dr Pangloss (if it relates to him) is just bizarre, and at this time dangerous.

Trump has found time to have a pop at Boris Johnson and the UK response to COVID19. Pot, kettle and black.

That we were too slow responding, we've shuttered too much, we didn't buy enough US cars to protect our ventilators?

Just when you thought it couldn't get any worse. Jared Kushner is now the face of the US pandemic response effort. What a fucking joke. Now we get sound bites from Dr. Jared's extensive research on FaceBook. Dr. Jared says:

“We’ve done things that the government has never done before, quicker than they’ve ever done it before and what we’re seeing now is we found a lot of supplies in the country,” he said. “We’ve been distributing them where we anticipate there will be needs and also trying to make sure that we’re hitting places where there are needs.”

The allocation of resources, Kushner said, is based on data submitted by cities and states. But Kushner made a point to note that many of the requests are influenced by predicted estimates, which he said are “not the realistic projections.”

“What you have all over the country is a lot of people are asking for things that they don’t necessarily need at the moment,” he said.

Dr. Jared is suggesting sacrificing preparedness for an extremely inappropriate interpretation of government as an off-shoot love child of supply-side economics and terminal pig ignorance. It can all be parsed out in a power point presentation about "management".



This state of affairs is completely unacceptable. For the love of God, stand aside and let actual expertise guide the response. This is past being comical.

Jared has a vested interest in seeing at least one “orange” boomer doomed by covid.

(a) the country is only still together because of Don, and (b) if he keeps deaths below 200,000 (or is it 2 million now?) it'll show he was right to call it a pandemic all along and the country is beyond lucky to have received the hard work and leadership shown by agent orange

The WHO does seem overly sensitive to China, and now either gets a lot of funding from China or sees China directing money in a way it perceives as being useful. And the WHO does have the appearance of being corrupt in all that. Which isn't to say Trump's comment there seems helpful, timely or presidential

My thoughts exactly. When the dust settles on all this, a review of how the WHO operates wouldn't be a bad idea. Is it too nervous of talking the truth, is it properly funded, what is the point of it, etc?

But for Trump to claim that he acted swiftly to mitigate the risks from this disease is laughable.

Trump did of course just fire the IG who reported him to Congress when the WH failed to follow law and notify the relevant committee in Congress in timely fashion, so much like China we now find the USA responds to the interests of the elite in situ as opposed to the more standard path of responding to the wider elite.

Trump has also just fired the chap who was supposed to have oversight of where Trump is going send the $2 trillion he just got in the relief/stimulus package, a line now commonly being used to describe Trump's likely take this was inspired by one J. Kushner, 'it's not the States' money, it's ours'

This. Or to bring voter suppression back to Wild West ages.

Let rural America vote, but the cities will have to risk contagion to exercise their rights...

Addition: he just tweeted about it, and he seems to suggest that high turnouts are against Republican interest!!! Another low for the office of the President of the United States.
