Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
I feel like there needs to be a mandated “you first” rule for politicians doing Coronavirus stuff. It’s probably wishful thinking but I feel like it would cut down on the bullshit a little.

I kinda skim the posts that aren't tweets tbh. But if Twitter didn't exist I would be skimming the posts that aren't news articles. Though to be fair, it would cut down on the number of news articles that are just "BREAKING: some dipshit said something dumb" and posts that are just a tweet consisting of the same, I understand what you mean but you're too absolutist about it

Can’t wait until he double downs on it in tonight’s presser.

Watching all the high ranking morons in this administration bounce around offering different excuses all day and the president doubling down on his original position is like the standard playbook now. I am still amazed people can watch this train wreck and legit think this is an administration that has its poo poo together and the president isn't a babbling moron

I disagree, I stop when I see twitter posts because most of the time this thread is a useless mess of people trying to out smug everyone else with their political history of why X happened that just dissolves down to a few people shouting at each other for page after page

Oh god he's going with the puppetmaster defense lol

"I'm the president of the united states during a global plague and said something really stupid and deadly just to see if reporters would report on it. lol, I got ya!"

I guess the puppet master defense is the best you can retaliate with?? Aside from just saying, "Sorry, I'm a dumbshit!" is probably all else you could say.

"I'm not a doctor, just a person with a good..... you know what." -- President Donald J Trump yesterday.

Gov. Wolfe in PA has done a great job quietly enacting good policies a week before everyone else and not getting any headline news stories about it.

He announced a partial re-opening on May 8th earlier this week and I don't think it was even mentioned in this thread.
