    I was talking about the doctor who couldn't get his face out of the camera enough. According to some, today was the first day. Good, take a break.

    It appears as if Dr. Fauci has worn out his welcome at the WH, clearly expected since he's getting more ink and band width than Trump these days... He was a no-show at the daily "briefing" yesterday and now the NYT is reporting Trump is losing patience with him (likely for the very reason mentioned above).

    Maybe he'll be sent to be the Special Envoy to some country far away from the US like Mick?

    Cannot be said enough.

    I've said before I don't necessarily begrudge all people who voted for Trump in 2016. It was obviously a poor decision, but it was still a relative unknown.

    I do begrudge anybody who still supports him, because it's now clearly known he's a terrible choice.

    P.S. Being a "war-time president" is only good for you if you win the war...

    The writing is on the wall, Fauci is out. Trump wants to re-open America, no matter what the doctors say. He'll find a boot-licking "expert" who'll give him cover for doing just that.

    So far, Trump and his cult have been a major annoyance. At the moment, they are getting outright dangerous.

    Well, it will make for an interesting decision for some Americans, if Trump decides to "re-open" America while many State Governors are continuing to keep things shut down.

    Wonder who people will listen to?? We have no issue with that in my house, since only one source is generally going to tell us the truth.

    My governor closed schools yesterday through the remainder of the 19/20 year... I haven't heard of any others doing that officially yet...

    What Trump doesn't realize yet: He will have no choice, the choice will be made for him. Do you think NYC inhabitants will be going back to work, let alone to bars anytime soon? Doesn't matter what the Governor or Trump will tell them, fear takes over. Other areas of the country are just 1-3 weeks behind NYC. they'll get their epiphany eventually.
