Bill Kristol...
”Our president has been on a wacky (and somewhat random) retweeting jag over the last hour--apparently too upset even to write original tweets. Why? Perhaps he saw this ad from Republicans for the Rule of Law when it aired on Fox and Friends this morning.”
Yup checked it out. Nutso.
Saying it first here. Look for him to pardon Michael Flynee sooner as opposed to later.

NPR... link“Documents unsealed by a judge yesterday appear to show an internal FBI debate about how to handle the case against Michael Flynn — including how to proceed if he lied to them about his contacts with the Russian ambassador.” “Attorneys For Michael Flynn Say Newly Unsealed Documents Prove FBI Entrapment”“Documents unsealed by a federal judge on Wednesday appear to show an internal FBI debate about how to handle the case against former national security adviser Michael Flynn, including how to proceed if he lied to them about his contacts with the Russian ambassador. Flynn's lawyers say the materials — three FBI emails and one handwritten note — show the bureau trying to entrap Flynn, and strengthen his legal argument for the case to be dismissed.” Correct me if I’m wrong here, but if one has nothing to hide and answers the questions truthfully how can one be entrapped?

Elite Honig...
”As a federal prosecutor, FBI & I questioned more subjects than I can count. Every time, there were 3 potential outcomes. Subject:
1) Tells the truth;
2) Lies (& potentially gets charged);
3) Refuses to talk.
There is nothing unusual about discussing how each could play out.“
Makes sense to me.

Aaron Rupar....
”Karen Pence on Mike not wearing a mask at Mayo Clinic: "Wearing a mask prevents you from spreading the disease, & knowing that he doesn't have Covid-19, he didn't wear one. It was actually after he left Mayo that he found out they had a policy of asking everyone to wear a mask."
When one enters the room or building and everyone is wearing a mask and you’re a so called “leader” and supposedly understand the importance of people wearing masks to prevent the spread of the virus , it should be a no brainer that they would put on a mask as well. You know lead.
Or as Jeffery Wright said....
”Yeah so either she's lying or maybe a guy who walks into a hospital in the middle of a global pandemic, sees EVERYONE else wearing a mask, and decides he won't wear one - maybe that guy's not qualified to head the WH Coronavirus Task Force.
Or maybe both. Yeah prolly both.”

”Don’t fall for the faux outrage re: Flynn. The FBI knew Flynn was doing wrong w/the Russians & asked him about it. FLYNN OPTED TO LIE! He then went to court, pled guilty, was placed under oath & told the judge he knowingly/voluntarily lied to the FBI. Done”

But then that would make him look as crazy as Trump. Which apparently he is.

Bette Midler.. ”Trump came to power as the repudiation of the Republican establishment. But the conservative political class & the new leader soon reached an understanding. Whatever their differences on issues like trade and immigration, they shared a basic goal: to strip-mine public assets..” ”for the benefit of private interests. Republican politicians and donors who wanted government to do as little as possible for the common good could live happily with a regime that barely knew how to govern at all, and they made themselves Trump’s footmen."

It was actually after he left Mayo that he found out they had a policy of asking everyone to wear a mask." so they're saying that no one briefs the VICE PRESIDENT on the policies, rules, and what's going on at his destination, when he goes someplace for a public appearance? <snort> yeah, no. Any excuse they come up with is stupid as HELL. Just tell the truth: he thinks the rules don't apply to him, and/or he doesn't want to get in trouble with his boss, considering that Pence is the ass-kisser-in-chief. I'm 95% + positive I don't have COVID-19, either, since I've been working from home for a month now and have been very careful whenever I go out, wearing masks, etc. BUT: I want everyone ELSE to feel comfortable around me... so I wear a mask to show OTHER PEOPLE that I care about the public good!! Something I'm not certain Mike or Karen Pence could say.

They’re testing all the Marines in boot camp...and they are still all training wearing masks.
Pence should have gotten a clue when he flew to Colorado and stood on the tarmac talking to the wearing a mask Gov Polis while the also not masked saluting airman at the bottom of the steps had to keep holding the salute and breathing in the air while they talked without socially distancing.
Not great leadership and pathetic that he keeps doubling down on the excuses. He made a bad call; so own it.

Something I'm not certain Mike or Karen Pence could say. And how exactly is her sure he doesn’t have it? Is he getting tested daily? And I if this had been Trump filmed not wearing a mask and there was this much backlash he would just say he did wear a mask and the Liberal Media is lying. Then he would show us a picture of him at the Mayo Clinic with a mask drawn on with a sharpie.

I think Pence did not wear a mask and Trump does not wear a mask to send a message to the followers who feel they don’t have to wear a mask. They ARE leading by example. Their cult of followers and protestors just got reinforced.
I think it has nothing to do with testing negative, being ignorant of the rules, looking in the eye, etc. I think it’s about the optics to the Trumpers. How can you downplay a virus yet wear a mask?
I think THAT is the answer. Play to the base.

I agree with whoever said the reason is that 'it plays to their base' ... if Trump or Pence are seen actually wearing a mask, that doesn't fit with the 'it's jut the flu' and 'it's not that bad' lies they've been peddling.

trump has kept saying this virus was going to go away soon, apparently without the help of a vaccine. I keep wondering where it’s going to go.
From yesterday’s whatever it was
Aaron Rupar...
”REPORTER: Without a vaccine, why do you think the virus will just be gone?
TRUMP: "It's gonna go. It's gonna leave. It's gonna be gone. It's gonna be eradicated."
Does it bother you that the President of the United States is this ignorant?

And yes, it really bothers me we have a president this ignorant.

”The Secret Service rented a room at Trump's D.C. hotel for 137 consecutive nights in 2017 — paying Trump's company more than $33,000 — so it could guard Treasury Secretary Mnuchin while he lived in one of the hotel's luxury suites.”
It took this idiot 137 days to find someplace to buy or rent?

”Trump: "I don't think anybody can feel any worse than I do about all of the death, and destruction, that's so needless. Nobody. But I also have to make sure that we handle the situation well."
”Trump: "Nobody's thinking about it more, nobody -- nobody has spent more time late in the evening thinking about what's happened to this country in a short period of time. But at the same time, we have to get our country open again."
Raise your hand if you believe this bull.

He keeps moving the Spanish Flu up a year. It was in 1918 that the Spanish Flu caused the devastation. You think someone would point this out to the “stable genius “ with the “big brain”.

I am %1000 positive that he is up late at night thinking about all the death And trying to figure out a way to doin it into a re-election. F only he could make it stick on Hillary or Obama. Maybe if he stfu with all the idiotic shit he says his numbers wouldn’t be slipping. Just you wait until he finds a victim to blame and it sticks well enough for his base to pick it up & run with it. Oh he’s up late at night thinking all right, thinking how he can use people deaths to win

The only thing that keeps him awake is worrying about his ratings that are swirling the crapper right now or trying to think of a way to blame anyone else or spin it somehow into a positive thing for him.

The myth.
Daniel Dale with comment from trump today...
”Trump: "The testing and the masks and all of the things, we've solved every problem. We solved it quickly." They were not quick on solving testing issues, and testing still isn't at the level many public health experts, governors and executives say it needs to be.”
The reality
Bill Kristol...
”The Capitol’s attending physician said coronavirus tests will be available for staffers and senators who are ill, but not enough to proactively test all 100 senators as the chamber comes back.” Beyond pathetic, @senatemajldr and @senschumer.”

Adam Schiff...
”I’m not sure what a “very, very strong” death total means,
But over 60,000 lives lost is a tragedy almost unmatched in American history. It‘s nothing to be proud of.
For grieving families, friends, and communities, this statement from the President is more salt in the wound.”
I wasn’t the only one who wondered about trump’s comment.
