Trump in trouble in the key state of Florida? But then again, it's Florida...

DS1 said he watched most of today's 'news' conference. Scrotus showed a campaign video his staffers made and then spent the rest of his time praising himself. Then he refused to answer questions from the press. DS1 said it was absolutely insane.

I'd be hopeful that it presaged a complete breakdown, but narc like him don't have breakdowns, they give him.

AcrossthePond55 · 14/04/2020 00:35

Oh, and he said he had 'absolute authority' to order states to reopen, superseding the authority of a State's Governor. No, he doesn't. Unless, of course, he declares martial law.

We tune into CNN each night (I know) but every night I shout at the TV and wonder how he is still thought of as having any intelligence. I think we can only be grateful he is not in charge here.

lionheart · 14/04/2020 01:53

Looks like he surpassed himself on this one.

Paula Reid of CBS was starry, though.

Trump is so bloody ridiculous, criticising her/her company for his own faults (as he has done so often to anyone who questions him).

Roussette · 14/04/2020 08:02

I've seen bits of this press conference, and well... what can anyone say, except 'he lost it'. We all knew he was awful, but it's taken a crisis to show how bad and deranged he actually is.

This is Jon Sopel, BBC North American correspondent who was one of the 16 journos there. He sums it up as to what it was like to be there.

A thread unrolled on the 'Council to Re-open America'
What a shower they are.

Here's a brief resumé on them.

Council to Lick Scrotus' Arse more like!

On the plus side, there are now 3 groups of Govs forming task forces; 6 NE states, 3 West Coast states, and 3 Great Lakes states. And they've vowed to all share ideas and strategies, too. A good example of Lincoln's words "We must all hang together or we will assuredly all hang separately".

Just got a CNN 'newsflash' on my lap top, Obama is going to formally endorse Biden.

I mean, we all knew he would. It's just so nice to have it 'official'.

Roussette · 14/04/2020 16:33

My goodness. It comes to something when Piers Morgan has wiped the floor with Trump in an article. It must be really really bad. They were besties at one point.

Roussette · 14/04/2020 16:41

And here is India wiping the floor with him too.

AcrossthePond55 · 14/04/2020 18:13

Thanks North! for posting that link!

A very 'pointed' speech as far as what he said about the current administration and the GOP, yet never spilling over into vitriol or bombast. Classic Barack, understated yet powerful

Still a class act!!! And one that I hope will reach any latent 'Bernie Bro' (or 'Sis') still out there.

AcrossthePond55 · 14/04/2020 18:14

Sorry, that post was a little 'fan-girl-ish', wasn't it?

TheNorthWestPawsage · 14/04/2020 18:28

Totally understandable Grin

Roussette · 14/04/2020 18:31

Wonderful. And doesn't it show up the current incumbent.

Whatsername177 · 14/04/2020 18:34

Wonderful speech by Barrack Obama.

AskingQuestionsAllTheTime · 14/04/2020 18:36

I miss Obama....

lionheart · 14/04/2020 19:33

The whole world misses Obama. Smile

Paula Reid
she was amazing!
Her heart must have been thumping so hard, he was furious but she didnt let up, all eyes watching the addled old silver-back being taken down by a young woman, he's done for now, she has forged a path that other will follow.
