(53,778 posts)Keeps up with the foolishness that if we didn't test we wouldn't have cases.
I can't stand that this stupid fool is the president. The world is doubling over in laughter at us, and thousands keep dying because this fool, along with Kushner, abandoned a fledgling testing/tracing national program early on in the pandemic because the virus was affecting blue states much more severley than red states.
I used to only call their response to the virus bungled and incompetent but since the story broke about their abandonment of an actual national plan, I now realize it was depraved indifference to lifein other words, it was criminal and remains criminal as we still don't have a national plan.

(205,405 posts)As he did with Kushner, he seems to be able to ask the tough and revealing questions in a way that doesn't let them know they're "gotcha!"

I can't imagine a Kushner interview. The man doesn't say much, and what he does say isn't much either.
I don't even think Kushner is human
Rhiannon12866
(205,405 posts)And his sympathetic and low key manner caught Kushner off guard. I'd look for it now, but I'm sitting here in the dark with my phone since we're having a power outage! But it was another Axios interview, same as this one.

(28,347 posts)I'll try to find it tomorrow. I'm in the dark, our power is out, too. Not due to weather, but a car accident down the road hit a pole. So glad I have a charger.

(19,564 posts)Trump: tossing out reams of paper work bullshit printed on them: "Nno, that's wrong, it's not right. Look at this one, um, um, right here. Look at cases."
PSA: In Texas only deaths where Covid is listed on the death as the COD are now counted.

(63,221 posts)He did a great job managing the Orange Buffoon. Trump came across even dumber than he usually does.

(19,564 posts)Also, Axios was also scorned as being a 'new RW' propaganda site due to the people who left their regular jobs to create it we're career political reporters rather than beloved pundits. There's a vast difference, but cable news has blurred that line for far too many.
Turns out that was a load of crap, huh? Like I always say, cynicism should be a seasoning, not a main course.

(225 posts)always go down on weekends. I don't blame the department of health for that. The people that count the cases and deaths deserve some time off. But it's disingenuous to say the trend is down because you give your counters a break.

(51,593 posts)Swann should get a "medal for patience" and if there isn't one they should start making them and stamp Swann's profile on it. Just watching him try to explain it to the fucking moron was a head shaking experience.

(10,198 posts)Guess he wont be invited back.

(21,871 posts)He can't get his small brain around the concept of cases. But deaths are deaths.
captain queeg
(10,198 posts)Once he comes up against something that he cant bully or lie away hes got nothing. As bad as the pandemic is it could be worse if other stuff happened. He has absolutely no clue. All his life someone has bailed him out convincing him that hes some kind of genius. Now hes up against it and flailing desperately.

(89,249 posts)I kind of like how it appears to drag out so all of this mess of an interview gets attention.
