This press briefing has devolved into a shitshow.

[madaboutharry]

Trump is completely unhinged and off the rails. I think he is about to have a breakdown.

Am I the only one who thinks that Dr. Birx looks like she has aged 10 years in the last 21 days?

This is like something out of a dystopian movie.

[dewsgirl]

1. I noticed Birx yesterday she was looking rough.

[dchill]

58. Kissing ass is bad for the posture.

[uponit7771]

2. Red Don didn't like the question about Kushner, the one reporter followed up and he still didn't

... answer.

This guys going to get a lot of Americans killed.

[Bluepinky]

6. It was another "nasty" question. How dare someone confront the king?

[uponit7771]

15. +1

[Bengus81]

25. I prefer the Fuhrer

[Flaleftist]

12. I'm not watching, but these reporters need to start working together

You said one followed up, good. They all need to do this. If he dodges a question, the next reporter needs to ask him to answer that question again and the next and next one until he gives a satisfactory answer or has a breakdown.



I know some reporters and their staff lurk here and maybe even anonymously post here. Come on! Do your job. People are dying. Care more about doing your jobs with integrity than maybe losing your press pass.

[uponit7771]

18. THIS !!! THIS !!! THIS !!! and testing is all I care about when it comes to watching this crap show

[eleny]

28. Maybe keep Captain Crozier as an example of patriotism

[murielm99]

43. Birddog him.

It works.

[kairos12]

29. Not watching. Do you know what the question was? If so, thanks for putting up with that crap.

[kairos12]

50. Thanks for info. I will take a look at it.

Peace and strength to you.

[LastLiberal in PalmSprings]

52. Here's a description of that exchange:

Trump spars with reporter over Kushner's 'our stockpile' remark

President Trump defended his son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner on Friday for suggesting the federal stockpile of medical resources was not for states, lashing out at a reporter for asking about the comments and accusing her of having a “nasty tone.”

CBS News reporter Weijia Jiang asked Trump what Kushner meant when he referred to the national stockpile as “our stockpile” and implied it wasn’t for states while appearing at the administration's daily coronavirus press conference the previous day.

“You know what 'our' means? United States of America,” Trump told Jiang, labeling her inquiry as a “gotcha” question. “We take that – ‘our’ – and we distribute it to the states.”

...

The administration changed the definition of the Strategic National Stockpile on its website on Friday in a way that more closely matched Kushner’s description.

[Evolve Dammit]

54. I can't either. It's just bullshit propaganda. Blather and drivel from sociopaths.

[livetohike]

3. Same as it ever was. Right? I refuse to watch. Trump makes me

physically ill. If this debacle he created with the virus crisis and all of the people who have died and will die isn’t the end of him, then we are screwed.

[DownriverDem]

60. Have ignored watching him

for years. I read about it, as he makes me physically ill too.

[MontanaMama]

4. Wish the press would actually

ask tough questions...useful questions that would set them all back on their heels.

[sheshe2]

10. I think they are, or at least they are trying to.

He cuts them off five words in. They never get to ask their full question.

[Marie Marie]

35. I agree. Many in the Press have tried to pose questions that hold his feet to the fire but

he derails the conversation with insults and ends with how he is just trying to give Americans hope. Whatta guy!

[budkin]

16. He can't handle it and shuts it down

See: Acosta

[mcar]

63. They are

It's useless. Dotard either attacks them or talks about something else. There is no point in anyone even trying to ask this idiot a question and expect an answer.

[msongs]

5. and its still being shown on all the buttkissing toady media channels? nt

[gibraltar72]

7. Please wash before you come here.

[smirkymonkey]

8. I couldn't watch.

I turned the channel to TV Land to hear the soothing voice of Andy Griffith. I just can't bear it anymore.

I expect the heartier members of DU will let us know what transpired. But I just can't look at that ugly face or listen to that sickening, lying voice of his anymore.

[homegirl]

66. You are

NOT ALONE.

[uponit7771]

9. FUCK NO !!! South Korea is nearly back to normal ... we're just starting !!! TEST TEST TEST !!!

[bullwinkle428]

17. EXACTLY!! IT'S NOT FUCKING ROCKET SCIENCE!! TEST THE HELL OUT OF EVERYONE!

The very same reason that Germany is doing way better than every other country in Europe.

[uponit7771]

21. +1, Germany tested till they ran out and resupplied they are gob smacked that people have to

... be nearly dead here to get a test.

I guess the MAGA KKKluckers think all the Asians are lying or something

[TrollBuster9090]

51. In fact, shit-heal Tom Cotton said exactly that.

Fux Noise has conveniently ducked the question of why South Korea is almost back to normal, after an effective government response. But they're not above peddling conspiracy theories that China is lying about being nearly back to normal.

In fact, I don't trust the Communist Party of China to tell the truth. But neither do I trust the American Fascist Party to tell the truth. Cotton is as big a liar and bullshit propagandist as any communist mandarin in Beijing.

Watch Cotton trying to build a Chines straw-man for Maria Fart-aroma.

[uponit7771]

72. +1, people like that guy are logically screwed up

[bullwinkle428]

11. I just started screaming at the TV, Sam Kinison-style. Trying to gin up sympathy for Putin.

[stevil]

13. I've watched every one since they started

Some days are better than others but Trump seems to fuck each one up daily. And he would do well to get off the podium but he can't help himself.

[hangaleft]

31. WHY. DO. YOU. WATCH?

That question is really not directed at you, it’s a question for anyone who watches those campaign rallies.

[stevil]

37. WHY SHOULDN'T I WATCH?

That question is really not directed at you, it’s a question for anyone who chooses not to watch those updates. For me, I like to watch him damage his reelection campaign and get him on the public record. No way he'll agree to pres. debates now. He's generating at least two opposition ads per day (get busy Bloomberg, Steyer and Yang!) for when we finally have a nominee. On the record, his words live on TV. I watch live on Free Agenda TV where I can follow along with the live chat.

[Grasswire2]

59. Yes. We witness him getting on the record. He can't help himself but spill out self-damaging rants.

I like to watch the reporters trigger him.

[procon]

40. I watch him because of a sense of civic duty that

was impressed upon my innocent young brain by my dad. The narrative of Trump's lies, flip flopping, deceptions, disinformation and insecurities have been writ large in obscene details, and I have reveled in the monstrous depths of his incompetence. His disgusting moral failings fuels my rage and gives me the courage to keep focused on his defeat, joining others who have the political power to crush him at the ballot box.

He is my enemy. He tells me daily how he plans to destroy me, everyone I hold dear, and my beloved country. Forewarned, how could I not study my foe. I am not so craven that I need some third party to whitewash and sanitize Trump's vile cruelty or softsoap his idiocy, watering down his tirades for the faint of heart. I take courage in assessing his weaknesses, discovering his soft spots to exploit his many flaws.

[Grasswire2]

62. Yep. Bearing witness.

And supporting our watchdog press at the same time. Reporters covering the WH have no protections since the Correspondents Association ceded credentialing authority to the WH some years ago. Reporters covering Congress have access codified in Senate rules. This WH has brazenly abused the press corps.

[procon]

64. Exactly so. nt

[Laelth]

67. You go, my friend.

That's quite a father to whom you refer.



-Laelth

[RussBLib]

14. Poke the bear!

He's a chicken-shit, lying bully. And you know what they say: you (someone) has to stand up to the bully. You'll be famous! Lose your job, maybe, but you'll get another.

[2naSalit]

19. She looks like a rerun of Patty Hearst at 65. ...nt

[lpbk2713]

20. Maybe Birx has a conscience.

No one with a conscience could keep up this charade indefinitely.

[uponit7771]

23. She doesn't, Trump said as Brix for the underlying data and she didn't take the question

[kentuck]

22. Definitely gone downhill...

...once the subject of "Jared" came up.

[TrollBuster9090]

53. Only a completely idiot would send Pee-Wee Kushner out to be his point man on a pandemic.

I can't believe they couldn't stop him. At this point, I'm thinking that even his cabinet is hoping he'll be defeated; and are not doing anything to prevent him from talking his way into an massive election defeat. Putting THIS guy front and center on a life and death issue was about the dumbest political move I've ever seen. I don't mind Trump sending his idiot son-in-law to play in the middle east sandbox, and play games at being a diplomat, like a kid playing with plastic carpenter's tools. But THIS issue effects Americans directly. It's not going to go over well, and that's why Trump is so touchy about it.

Watch Pee-Wee Kushner's reaction to the way he completely f--ked up the Middle East 'peace' plan.

[GreatCaesarsGhost]

24. It was a very strong shitshow.

[Celerity]

57. the biggest shitshow! positively huge, a shitshow that was the best ever shitshow in history!

[JBoy]

68. The show shits very powerfully n/t

[underpants]

26. So Jared's "our" was a collective not possessive

Even though the next sentence he said was that it wasn’t the states.

[ooky]

27. I turned it off after the Mr. Pillow nonsense. It's a waste of time. The networks

would dump this if they had any integrity.

[bluecollar2]

30. The press should refuse to ask questions of trump

But say instead, " I have a question for....."

If trump tries to answer they should say, "Excuse me but I didn't ask you..."

[sprinkleeninow]

55. Why do they even show up. eom

[IcyPeas]

70. that's a good idea!

[Blue Owl]

32. As long as tRump remains in office it's gonna be a SHITshow

Like liquid diarrhea sharts hitting an industrial-size fan

[world wide wally]

33. It's just like asking the neighborhood gang leader questions about medicine and

listening to him ramble because he had no fucking idea what he is talking about.

[Cailinrain]

34. JFC the Press needs to step up

What the press needs to ask is SO WHAT if states didn’t stock up on supplies (and no I don’t buy this BS argument for a minute)? Even if according to POS45 this is a mistake on the states part, IT DOESN'T MATTER because Americans are suffering and dying. Why place blame NOW when this is a life or death situation that is getting exponentially worse by the minute?! Yes, I know why he is placing blame but those journalists need to start pressing on this: it doesn’t matter anymore who is to blame, just get those supplies to our states. I can’t believe this BS and he still skates by. JFC. And what reallllllly gets me is that we can’t even take to the streets in mass to protest without risking our lives along with all our healthcare workers lives...
