(24,647 posts)Something like this. Took that long to get med cocktail to kick in sufficiently. Notice he did not speak very long at all and his diction was clearer than usual.
If my suspicion is correct, he'll drop off the radar for awhile when the med bounce back effect kicks in.

So that's either a lie, or Pence not knowing shit.

(18,745 posts)They did not close borders. They did not ban travel from China in January. They did next to nothing and are just starting out several weeks behind the rest of the world.

(1,165 posts)Only, it takes 20 minutes to get through the Trump-Pence circle jerk.
madaboutharry
(40,153 posts)Nothing from Trump about the health and well being of the American people.
He is such an asshole!

(41,915 posts)Id get him the hell out of there too. Hes a ticking time bomb of stupid.
Volaris
(10,260 posts)For what that's worth.
At least, I'd say this time he KNOWS how badly he fucked up, and is scared of the result (thinks the press is trying to infect him).
And that last part kinda makes me feel a little bit warm and fuzzy inside!
Mike 03
(16,616 posts)That's it?
Is there more? Bloomberg radio cut away.
EDIT: Nevermind, it's continuing on CNN.

(41,915 posts)He got out of there before he could say anything more stupid than what hes already said I guess.
Newest Reality
(12,712 posts)I hear that he has been filling up the Depends rather quickly these days. He may have been overdo for a change and/or the lines of Adderall are wearing off more quickly because he is so habituated to them and/or he had a fresh bucket of KFC and some hamberders calling to him like sirens from the bedroom.

WE WERE NOT BLINDSIDED!
The CDC, NIH and WHO has been saying a pandemic was coming and nobody was adequately prepared. But preparation costs money, and doesn't necessarily pay off right away. Whether it's climate change, crumbling bridges and dams or a pandemic, or solution is to fix it after it happens, not to try to keep it from happening in the first place, all because were need to fight more wars and give more tax cuts to the wealthy. The wealthy line their pockets and people die.

(6,849 posts)what a baby!
TexasBushwhacker
(20,044 posts)But we do know they WILL happen, just not where and when. That's why you prepare in advance.
MaryMagdaline
(6,849 posts)nolabear
(41,915 posts)Thats what they focused on, not how to proceed and what they are doing. Eventually they did a bit but it was nearly all tax cut, businesses, wage protection, etc.
