Can’t believe they are not going after Schumer for the threats he made to our cherished United States Supreme Court, and our two great Justices. If a Republican did that, there would be an endless price to pay. Pathetic!

Jumping Jesus, it's like a tired rock band playing nothing but their old hits.

Or a band that had so few hits that they end up playing the same songs multiple times to pad out the length of their shows.

So now it is reported that, after destroying his life & the life of his wonderful family (and many others also), the FBI, working in conjunction with the Justice Department, has “lost” the records of General Michael Flynn. How convenient. I am strongly considering a Full Pardon!

Adam Schiff responds:

Mr. President, keep your focus on the current crisis. The delay in testing and your failure to lead are already costing us dearly.

Your attacks on the independence of the justice system and rewarding of cronies who lied for you can wait.

Incompetence kills.

Touche.

Which brings to mind... we still haven't had the usual suspects defend Trump's handling of the corona crisis.

I'm sure Trump is just so mad that Flynn documents have gone missing.

I'm sure he in no way benefits from that.

I'm sure his administration has been in power while that and many other cases have gone forward so he in no way could possibly be ultimately responsible for the "disappearance."

Uh-huh.

Great Job by Judicial Watch. Potentially a treasure trove. Too bad you are not given more help, but it will all work out!

Benghazi. The gift that keeps on giving.

This is yet another lie Trump is telling in order to set up a rationalization for pardoning Flynn. This alleged memo had nothing to do with the charges Flynn pleaded guilty to.

The President appeared to be referencing a claim made by Flynn's lawyers back in September that there was an internal Department of Justice memo that cleared Flynn of being a Russian agent -- a memo that the prosecution could not produce.

A government lawyer on the Flynn case said those claims are irrelevant, noting they did not accuse Flynn of being a Russian agent. It was not immediately clear Sunday why Trump was referencing the exchange.

Don't worry, Mr. President. His time is coming.

Its it just me or is Trump really concerned not so much abou the virus and the people it will kill, but about just keeping the recession away unitl after November?

For the fun of it... You're not the only one. That's Australian, by the look of it, incidentally. It's not even the recession, though, much as he's been sabotaging the ability to respond to one all through his Presidency because of his embrace of very, very short term thinking. He's more focused on the far, far more volatile stock market and spreading the lie that all is going great.

 

[Skeptic Ginger]

Trump gave a short statement in today's press conference then left without answering questions. Wishful thinking but he did not look well.

 

[calebprime]

I agree. Trump did not look well-rested and full of gumption, by any means. Dull as dishwater.

I'm watching one Dominic Sarno, mayor of Springfield, who is no Cuomo, no charismatic speaker. And he's solid enough, and he stays on track, no ********, and he does ok. That's all we're asking for. Not this insane happy talk that Trump does.

Trump gave a short statement in today's press conference then left without answering questions. Wishful thinking but he did not look well.

And of course, during that short statement, he still couldn't keep from lying.

At a Sunday press conference, Trump said his earlier comments about Google had been “substantiated” and thanked “the head of Google, a great gentleman.” It’s increasingly clear, however, that Google itself is not building the website that Trump described last week. Here’s what’s really going on:

And of course, while lying about this yet again, he took the time to take a cheap shot at the press for "fake news" that was, in fact, the truth.

I'd say that's highly likely as his main support is from the state of the economy.

Trump is now claiming "tremendous control" of C 19.

“it’s a very contagious virus.. something we have tremendous control of.”

He contradicts the first half of his sentence with the second half. That's stupid even for Trump.

 

[Horatius]

I'd say that's highly likely as his main support is from the state of the economy.

During his "statement on the virus", he spent about half the time talking about how great it was that the Feds cut the interest rate.

Partially, but I think it's simpler and more direct than that: His main concern is his own money.

 

[Stacyhs]

It looks like the "Democrat Deep State Conspiracy" is working. Trump's approval rating is down to 44.8%, a 7.7 decline according to the latest Real Clear Politics average.

...So, we can conclude from that that COVID-19 is a US bioweapon that they used on China and, to make it look more legit, are letting ravage everyone else, too? And ****. Given the state and nature of GOP projection, that's... a bit too feasible of a extremely unlikely possibility, now that I say it. (Also, to be technical, the second doesn't contradict the first. The second is just a brazen lie.)
