presser

So today, Giuliani Giunior (aka Andrew) announced he’s running for governor of New York. He’s apparently hoping to trade on the Giuliani name, which, unfortunately, isn’t what it used to be since the dildo shop.  So I was hoping to see rivulets of black tar coursing down the sides of Andrew’s...

Recent Trump appearances have revealed that his giving lip service to vaccines has remained secondary to a continuing belief in herd immunity as if death would be a luck of the draw, or just bad luck, perhaps sacrifices rationalized by some religion.

Trump’s doing more law and order bafflegab among other idiocy, as Trump is whining about not getting credit for stuff.

Trump never read Bob Woodward’s first book on Trump, Fear, and yet, Trump does believe that there’s no such thing as bad publicity, what?

Jesus Christ, this asshole. At yesterday’s coronavirus presser/super-spreader event in Bedminster, New Jersey, Donald Trump sarcastically referred to the WASPy weirdos in attendance as “peaceful protesters.” It was his way of excusing their flouting of social distancing and mask-wearing guidelines.

Presser started at 536pm ET. It ended at 613pm.

In his presser, Trump blamed Portland violence on “professional anarchists” because of course they carry cards noting their memberships, rather than those awful amateur anarchists.

So the return of the daily presser can be blamed on Lindsey Graham. The pretense will be the coronovirus. Deja vu all over again.
