Hello Boatyardblues.

Dr. Fauci gets his wish.

Hi Boatyard

And well done Brad Pitt, that was great

@lionheart That Trump tweet is so petulant.
Mind you, he is the master of the soundbite. Now he's come up with "lamestream media" I'm sure he'll be using it as much as Fake News

Trump is going to be so pissed that Fauci gets portrayed by Brad Pitt. I'm sure he was hoping Brad would play him, after all they've got the same beautiful hair.
I'm not sure who could portray Trump. Jabba the Hutt?

Failing that, Harvey Weinstein could find a new career in acting.

Fucking ace 😊😊😊😊
go Brad Pitt
A handsome movie star is taking the piss out of trump, whilst flattering someone that trump resents, can you imagine the tantrum that trump will throw
🤭

Thank you Brad for hammering that nail into the coffin

Dr Fauci won't last long, for sure.

Dr Fauci won't last long, for sure.

Hasn’t Fauci advised 5 presidents or such? It would just show Trump up for the petty fool he is if he fires him. Won’t stop him doing it, but it’s not the strong move he thinks.

You and I may agree on that, but...

Meanwhile, a hymn for 2020: "vote him away"

"What is the purpose of having White House News Conferences when the Lamestream Media asks nothing but hostile questions"

Leaving aside the times when the US press have to clarify what Trump means about injecting bleach, every head of state with a free press is being asked the same questions - when will there be more testing, when will there be a vaccine, how long will restrictions last.

When trump says 'hostile' he means anything that doesn't portray him as the saviour of all mankind, any situation where he isn't allowed to give free rein to any impulse that pops into his head
he loves the rallies because he could indulge himself for hours at a time and no one said anything against him, wherever he goes whatever he does he is trying to create a situation where he is on stage enjoying the limelight

Interesting article...

I'm a keen golfer but can never play at Turnberry as long as it means putting money in Trump's pocket

'Over the last three and a half years, Americans have had to accustom themselves to a relentless, numbing barrage of lies from the federal government. In one sector after another, we’ve seen experts systemically purged and replaced with toadying apparatchiks. The few professionals who’ve kept their jobs have often had to engage in degrading acts of public obeisance more common to autocracies. Public policy has zigzagged according to presidential whim. Empirical reality has been subsumed to Trump’s cult of personality.'

I'm just hoping that Scrotus latest tantrum ("I won't be on that podium!! Won't, won't, WON'T!!!! And you can't MAKE me!!!") doesn't put an end to real updates and information from Dr Fauci and (even) Dr Birx. The American People deserve to know real information about testing, statistics, etc and we do get some of that from them. With Scrotus out of the briefings, maybe we'd get even more.

Evil thrives in darkness.

Interesting point.

Joe Biden’s Vice Presidential Pick Could Cost Democrats A Senate Seat.
Electoral concerns could complicate Warren, Baldwin and Klobuchar’s chances at the number two slot on the ticket.

...
Every Democratic presidential nominee since the 1980s has picked a senator as their running mate, but if the party’s presumptive nominee, Joe Biden, does the same in 2020, he could risk what will be, at best, a razor-thin Senate majority.

Biden has publicly declared he will pick a female running mate, and most of the names frequently floated for the job come from the Senate: Elizabeth Warren (D-Mass.) and Tammy Baldwin (D-Wis.) are popular picks among progressives; moderates prefer Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.) or Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.); those seeking a woman of color often suggest Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) or Catherine Cortez Masto (D-Nev.).

But a growing group of Democrats are warning about the electoral risks of once again picking a senator as a running mate, in a time where increased political polarization has made Democratic victories in rural states rare, making it more difficult than ever for the party to seize control of the Senate.

'The complaint was filed with the U.S. District Court in Washington, D.C., and allegedly revolves around two cables that the Post says U.S. diplomats at the American Embassy in Beijing sent to the department after U.S. scientists had made multiple visits to the Wuhan Institute of Virology.'

Who'd 've thunk?

"An anti-lockdown protest in Kentucky attended by 100 people was followed by the sharpest rise in cases since coronavirus arrived in the area, ironically demonstrating the importance of lockdown in the face of those who disagree with it."

Nobel or Noble - neither is coming your way Donny.

Donald Trump is on his customary Sunday Twitter tear. After saying on Saturday that his coronavirus press briefings are “not worth the time & effort” due to “hostile questions” from journalists, the president said that the “Noble” [sic] Committee should demand its prizes back from journalists who worked on “Russia, Russia, Russia”.

“When will all of the “reporters” who have received Noble [sic] Prizes for their work on Russia, Russia, Russia, only to have been proven totally wrong (and, in fact, it was the other side who committed the crimes), be turning back their cherished “Nobles” so that they can be given ....to the REAL REPORTERS & JOURNALISTS who got it right. I can give the Committee a very comprehensive list. When will the Noble Committee DEMAND the Prizes back, especially since they were gotten under fraud,” wrote the president.

As is often the case, it’s unclear who the president is talking about. The Nobel Prizes were awarded for Physics, Chemistry, Medicine, Literature, Peace and Economics in 2019. The 2019 prize for literature went to Austria’s Peter Handke “for an influential work that with linguistic ingenuity has explored the periphery and the specificity of human experience.” It is unclear what views Handke holds on disinfectant.

Trump may well have meant to criticize the Pulitzer Prizes for journalism. Several winners in 2019 have investigated Trump’s regime.

Trump also took time out to wish Melania happy birthday.

If it's not disinfectants, it's Noble prizes. Do only Nobles get them?

He was only being sarcastic @TheNorthWestPawsage.

Satire is dead. He really has claimed sarcasm and deleted the three noble tweets.
