The company I work for makes a disinfectant that's normally only sold in quart spray bottles. The demand has been so massive that we can't get enough bottles, so we had to quickly create new labels for 1 gallon bottles and 5 gallon pails and get them approved for use.

I just received a letter from The White House about the $1200 that was direct deposited to me weeks ago, bearing that Oh, so important signature that our Narcissist in Chief thought was so vital.

Think about how much money it cost the taxpayers to make and send those self-congratulating ego boosters.

For the lulz, I looked in on @Mike_Pence. The replies are not being kind.
Meanwhile, the Mayo Clinic has covered itself in -- well, what's the opposite of glory? -- by posting then taking down a tweet saying Pence had been informed of the need to wear a mask.

Great leaders during crises:
"I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, sweat, and tears!"
"I take no responsibility! Also I won't hold press conferences because the media is mean to me!"
"Never in the course of human history has so much been owed by so many to so few!"
"I have people come up to me and say, sir, how do you know so much about viruses?"
"My fellow citizens, let no one doubt that this is a difficult and dangerous effort on which we have set out. No one can foresee precisely what course it will take or what costs or casualties will be incurred. Many months of sacrifice and self-discipline lie ahead -- months in which both our patience and our will will be tested, months in which many threats and denunciations will keep us aware of our dangers. But the greatest danger of all would be to do nothing.
"It's a Democrat hoax! It's just one person coming in from China! It'll go away like a miracle! Maybe try injecting bleach?"

Maybe he wanted to subsidize the Postal Service after all.

Endangering patients to pwn the libs.
I suppose the Mayo Clinic will be shunned by the trumpkins now. They're part of the Deep State Obama Do-Nothing Democracy conspiracy to bring down the government by saying nasty, mean things about it.
What is it with these guys? Okay, he is tested periodically. What would it hurt if he wore a mask for that extra safety for the patient and, to a lesser extent, for his own? Or just to be classy in support of all the staff and patients wearing masks.

That's the part I don't get. What did he gain by not wearing a mask? An awful lot of negative attention, it seems to me. Is the idea that by not wearing a mask he appears super-human, or special?
His "I'm above the rules" moment doesn't seem to have been a good idea.
Oh, well. I'm not in advertising or marketing. Maybe this move made sense to somebody, somewhere.

He probably thought it made him look less Vice Presidential.

Are we really surprised?

Oddly, I first read this as "tie pins."

I don't know that. Either you need a sarcasm smilie or I didn't get the memo.

There is a picture of trump in his office before he became president.
Someone noticed that in the picture you can see that he had several boxes of sudaphed in a partly-open drawer.
(Note that there is a question about whether the type of sudaphed shown in the picture would have a stimulant effect)

Sorry, yes I should have.
Snopes rated "Trump abusing Sudafed for stimulant abuse" as FALSE. In that the variant of the product shown (it was available only in the UK) did not contain pseudoephedrine which is a precursor for meth. However he did have a whole lot of it available in a desk drawer as open, i.e. used, boxes.
There are also persistent rumours from his Apprentice days he is relying on Adderall to keep on keeping on. Suggestions this is why he is up late at night - not working but "speeding". Lack of sleep is definitely a factor in Trump's recent ultra-weirdness.
There's also his generally erratic and totally weird demeanor, performance and facial appearance each time he does a presser. Pictures of him flushed face, puffy-eyed, dilated pupils and what looks like being wired to the max. Such conditions are not brought on by a constant diet of fried chicken and Diet Coke (other stuff is, but not that). So either he is covering up constant sinusitis, or he's on something quite often...
Because this is a guy who is definitely not in tip-top physical or mental condition right now. He's a train-wreck. If he turned up to any normal office to work in that condition, he would have long ago been taken offline, and referred to HR who would have counseled him and arranged time-off and rehabilitation.

He's not touching it, he's laying hands on it - hands that are blessed by gawd. Whatever mission that part is used on is now guaranteed to be a success.
Also I note in the picture that Pence is staying safe by having a couple of guys between him and that woman. She probably wants nothing more than to jump his bones.

It just occurred to me “jump his bones” is pretty much interchangeable with “bump his jones.”
It’s late.
