Our nation’s very last Mouth of Sauron has spoken! And been cut off mid-sentence by Fox News! Finally. Lame Duck Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany saved the best bullshit for last, and she’s broken Fox in the process As she vigorously flung Donald Trump’s poo today because he was too lazy to do...
Another Trump presser today, there were more of the same lies especially about the availability of COVID vaccines. Trump furthermore went full disinformation about mask use. CNN’s Dana Bash referred to Trump’s account as “propaganda”. http://www.pscp.tv/… x In opening statement, Pres Trump calls on @joebiden to “stop promoting his anti-vaccine theories.”...
Trump’s doing more law and order bafflegab among other idiocy, as Trump is whining about not getting credit for stuff. We’ll see whether he takes questions (and flees when the questions get too tough). He’s scared, especially if you compare his presser to Biden’s earlier today, replete with complete sentences. x...
The summary of today's Trump presser: Trump defended Kyle Rittenhouse x Trump actually offers a defense of Kyle Rittenhouse, his right-wing supporter who killed two protesters. “I guess he was in very big trouble, he probably would've been killed.” pic.twitter.com/XFBtDOHP8y— Pod Save America (@PodSaveAmerica) August 31, 2020 x To be...
Trump: “If stupid people aren’t elected, next year, we’re going to have one of the greatest years that we’ve ever had.” Trump will likely flee at the first suggestion that he’s lying again. Bigger/bigly question is whether CNN, MSNBC, or CSpan will cover it live. Live blog below. Date: August...
“To Joe, I would say stop playing politics with the virus. Too serious. Partisan politics has no place here,” the president says while delivering an attack on his election opponent from the White House briefing room. Expect a brag on the Israel UAE agreement, a dodge on sabotaging the postal service,...
Q: What do you mean by an “invasion” in the suburbs if VP Joe Biden is elected? President Trump: “They're going to destroy suburbia. And 30 percent of the people in suburbia are minorities. They say 35 percent, but I like to cut it lower. This one’s importance is in...
Started at 547pm ET Apparently like the Germans and Pearl Harbor, for Trump, the second World War ended in 1917. x YouTube Video Trump starts with more disinformation using a Virginia example Trump pimps stock market — usual blah-blah…. (550pm) whoa, something happened and Trump abruptly leaves after a secret service agent...
Another stunt to keep Trump in the news on a Saturday, because he’s losing. Yesterday’s presser at his golf club was such a joke, this one shouldn’t even be covered, since it’s really coordinated with a Trump fundraiser. Wimp of Wall Street. No, Democrats aren’t cheating in the election by...
There’s a presser from the Trump golf club, because optics matter: “Congress needs to stay in Washington and work this out. Now watch this tee shot.” Undoubtedly pimpage of executive orders as a GOP stunt to criticize the Congressional impasse and circumvent legislation. CNN is covering it, as is MSNBC and...
Live Blog below: Trump to hold press conference today at 5:30 in briefing room Apparently they’ve given up trying to announce it for 5pm. Will Trump show up on time? Will there be medical professionals there, or generals to affirm yesterday’s “attack” in Beirut? Trump on Obama's speech at John...
Today’s takeaway from another presser that this time was an hour late: Trump thinks the massive fertilizer explosion in Beirut was an attack, Trump gathered new data to try to divert attention from the current economic recession. And for some reason the state of Florida has superior mail-in voting ability...
Presser started at 536pm ET. It ended at 613pm. Trump needed another faux-campaign speech opportunity today — he should be trying to clarify his criticism of Birx — perhaps there’ll be some faux-Kumbaya. The new tone will keep the press questions to a minimum. Perhaps Trump will double-down even further on the...
Live Blog Below (not really a doozy) Trump’s incompetence and negligence if not already a sign of Trump’s unfitness for office can be measured on charts. We’re now at “tremendous progress”. Trump knows he will lose if people can vote. Republicans know they can’t control the House or Senate if...
Live Blog below … looks like Trump will be late, sliding into the old habit, so much for that “new tone”. x Trump says he made this decision even though lots of people “desperately” wanted to be there, given that the pageantry and such were really top of the line.— Daniel...
Led with Pfizer vaccine trial progress and exaggerated its availability. More than a few lies spewed. Trump implies that the wall is keeping the virus out, spins that protests are spreading the #TrumpVirus. Goes blah-blah on a variety of cherry-picked data. Went bleak and dire about cities, even though they aren’t....
Trump shows up late again and repeats the same spin, not acknowledging the lead in deaths. The real headlines will come from more Trump mistakes, like well-wishing Ghislaine Maxwell and mentioning Prince Andrew, as well as continuing the same campaign speech lies. x Also, without watching this presser, I've deduced...
So the return of the daily presser can be blamed on Lindsey Graham. The pretense will be the coronovirus. Deja vu all over again. However, since Trump might not appear with administration supporters, it more likely will take the same format as previous. The old format was Trump reading some prepared remarks,...
Today’s Trump WH presser apparently repurposed his canceled NH campaign speech of 50 minutes, and took 10 minutes of questions. Waste not, want not. Who wants that hour back: Trump produced more gibberish and barely mentioned the COVID19 pandemic, and spent most of his time attacking Biden. Even Daniel Dale, CNN’s...

Someone should tell Donald Trump that a tighter chair configuration isn’t going to make up for that tumescent beluga whale bladder on the top of his shoulders. (Before you chastise me in the comments — no, I don’t know actually how big a beluga whale’s bladder is. I’m just riffing here....
In the Rose Garden, Trump continues his usual nonsense lying about “the greatest economy in the history of the world”. …the president said today is a great day for a man who was killed. Trump imagines George Floyd celebrating new jobs report from heaven: “Hopefully, George is looking down right...
Looks like Donald Trump is now more afraid of girl germs than the coronavirus. Obviously, this photo doesn’t include every reporter who was at his latest presser but, conspicuously, there’s nary a woman in sight — just a lot of men in dark suits and one gormless dipshit who still...
LIVE BLOG below. Note that it was scheduled for Noon and he’s late again. Another day, another pseudo event, this time about a vaccine that still will not arrive for a year, but at least there should be press questions that will feature more racism and sexism. Trump's pivot is a...
Today’s presser had more Trump lies. Trump claimed that the numbers are now going down. They aren’t. The same press questions happened and Trump chose not to answer ones asking for specificity. Why can’t we get tested as easily as Trump. He didn’t answer that question. Trump repeats his same bafflegab,...
Trump will present another WH stunt-presser today at 4pm EDT that won’t start on time. It’s meant to divert attention from the now burgeoning COVID-19 contagion within the WH, and assure people that IMPOTUS* is “in charge”. President Trump and members of his administration will hold a press briefing to discuss...
Darn vermin at the presser. As of yet there’s no actual video of the rodent, but there’s plenty of IMPOTUS*. Likely pool video does have a clip which one assumes we’ll never see. No truth to the rumor that the rat will be named Zapruder. Yikes. A rat just scurried...
…Fear will keep the local systems in line.” By his own admission, Trump is always fighting someone on behalf of Americans — Congress, scientists, courts, foreign countries, Democrats, even his own government. But never has he engaged in a prolonged dispute with nearly all of the nation’s governors. https://t.co/rpdHxLyCpe —...

New Trump Covid-19 taskforce briefing It started early today, as it tends to on Saturdays, Sunday will likely start later. x Wow Trump, who says he tested negative for virus twice, says he may start take hydroxychloroquine, anti-malaria drug he thinks may be a “game changer” for treating coronavirus. He...
Trumpian incompetence continues with number-rigging, even as actual facts get presented by scientists. In today’s presser, he worked in campaign rally rhetoric including softball answers about his impeachment in order to attack Democrats. x PLEASE STOP TELEVISING THESE CORONA CAMPAIGN RALLIES LIVE. THEY ARE BAD FOR THE PUBLIC HEALTH. — Richard Stengel (@stengel) March...
Trump Presser / Campaign rally substitute. Live Blog below x Pres Trump at WH says Dr. Fauci & Dr. Birx will be going over data & models about the coronavirus outbreak in the U.S. He also reiterated that WH guidelines go through 4/30. “It’s a matter of life and death...
Live Blog below. This time it’s from the Rose Garden. Likely it’ll start at 545 or 6pm ET. We are near the end of the touted Trump 15-day period. More likely Trump will lie and make things up, but in each of these events, Trump has produced more opposition media content,...

Live blog again if only to see what disinformation and outright lies will be presented, even if the MSM needs to not broadcast these live or should only replay the factual elements such as expert announcements. Otherwise they’ve become mini-MAGA rallies. 5pm — Members of the Coronavirus Task Force Hold...
Today Trump tried to avoid being contradicted while still on stage, and fled before experts spoke. 5pm ET — Members of the Coronavirus Task Force Hold a Press Briefing at www.whitehouse.gov/… Live Blog below, these things are only supposed to last 30 minutes, depending on Trump’s mood. They often start as late as...
Today’s Trump / Coronavirus Task Force started at 545pm ET Fauci in attendance. Trump was more disciplined today, and limited Q&A, lest he get asked tough questions. Still committed to his latest “beautiful Easter timeline” to “reopen” the economy. x What is the over and under that #Pence @vp be holding...
The GOP will make 1933 Fireside Chat claims for Trump’s Easter economy claims, but the reality was the bounce came from word of the Congressional stimulus package moving toward agreement. x Pelosi on call w/Dem caucus: “We're in the red zone” and hopes House can pass coronavirus package by quick...

Today’s WH COVID-19 presser featured IMPOTUS* rambling through reading numbers of items like field hospitals allocated but not actually delivered, and ad libbing campaign speech rhetoric “people are saying we’re very united”. Repeated how proud he is and how victory is at hand. He actually starting getting bored while reading numbers. x...
Pence (and Mother) will be tested now that one of his staff has contracted COVID-19. Trump continues his inaction on using the Defense Production Act (DPA) during a national emergency. More troubling are charges that his dissembling ‘happy talk’ is part of a re-election strategy favoring states with GOP governors....
All gains since Trump’s inaugural have been lost as the stock market hit two circuit breakers today while Trump led the WH daily briefing. Trump still believes that he will be re-elected, and in the absence of rallies, today’s presser was used to promote sinophobia and insult Joe Biden. Today’s...
Trump may be responsible for many more untimely deaths, because he wanted to be re-elected (because it’s the stupid, economy). x Today Trump admitted that yesterday’s Press Conference was to lift the Markets. He only cares about the Stock Market!!! You can hear and see how proud of himself he...
Trump spoke before the daily briefing of the COVID task force presser.at 630pm ET. More time was spent changing the podium seal from the VPOTUS to that of IMPOTUS* than Trump’s remarks. Trump announces payroll tax cut to be discussed with GOP leadership. Trump lies about being the first to shut borders....
Referring to a Trumpian “(w)hole of government approach” Pence is using the WH briefing room to dispense some disinformation where there are now 100 cases (Pence claimed 43 cases) touting a “low risk” (of dying) even as WHO calls the situation (of transmission) a “high risk” one. More Trumpian low-balling claiming...
Trump’s Katrina is coming. The global economy will be making a downturn with the coronavirus COVID-19. Trump just had another lie-filled presser claiming it will all get better and that there will soon be a vaccine (experts say 1-2 years away). Daniel Dale does another tweet thread. x Trump says he's...
If it was good enough for the Mueller report, maybe it applies to all of PABOTUS*’s crimes. This continues the speculation fostered by Senators like Lindsey Graham, that Trump is too incompetent to be impeached. It is more amusing to think that 45* is annoyed that his wishes were not...
It’s a fast-moving day and a press conference was scheduled for 4pm. Trump’s last such presser at the UNGA was “free-wheeling” so the cray-cray might be especially wild. Chances are that the GOP members of House/Senate Intel committees need to leak the complaint contents to the WH, which may explain...
