He should be the model for reporters period. Report what is said and then immediately fact check in the same tweet. Most reporters fail on the second part though.

Apparently it was Jared's idea to have Trump announce the Google site that didn't exist. In addition to telling the experts they don't know what they need.
This little fucker, along with his Father in Law, are gonna be directly responsible for the deaths of hundreds of thousands of Americans. Jesus fucking christ did our fuck up in 2016 cost us bad.

"U.S. paying Russia for entire planeload of coronavirus equipment: U.S. official"
Does every approach this admin takes absolutely have to be a racket?

Way to keep electing this guy, Florida.
Yes, in short, we're all gonna be fucked as long as that shithead is in charge on the response (it sounds like its Kushner running things and not Pence).

The sad thing is that the retirees who flock to Florida probably still don't give a shit about millennials being unable to file for unemployment.
Imagine being VP and just being a figurehead. I mean you only have 2 real jobs anyway, go to funerals and break senate ties. If he had any self respect he should have stayed governor
Didn't see anyone post this. We lost 701k jobs before March 14. 4.4% unemployment.
But are the numbers for the blacks, I always love that being pointed out. Cause a black not working is worthless
This honestly could have been the thread title for the last three and a half years and it'd never be wrong.
What's the point of the "monthly" survey if they leave the field halfway through the month? I know they need to prepare the data but they've been doing this forever! lol
I think most issues are slow burning, whereas this was just instant. But good point.
Bad news... such a shame...

Trump’s Net Worth Drops $1 Billion As Coronavirus Infects The President’s Business
We valued the president at $3.1 billion a month ago. Now he’s worth $2.1 billion. Here’s why.

Is there any hope AT ALL that if we win the Presidency and Senate the Dems will impeach some of these woefully unqualified federal judges? I'm just reading about how Trump has officially nominated Justin Walker, a 37 year old Kavanaugh/McConell stooge to the DC circuit for life. Someone who was rated not qualified by the ABA.
It's absolutely absurd and should not be allowed to stand if Dems control the WH/Senate next year.

No. You need 67 votes in the Senate to remove a federal judge.
Just expand the lower courts and justify it as "relieving administrative burden and expediting justice."
Here's a stupid question... Who is in charge of impeaching a judge? And does the Whitehouse have input?
You need a 2/3rds majority in the senate, so probably not. Also, we're going to have a fuck ton of shit to clean up. This is probably low on the list.
Impeachment is the same procedure in all cases. Ain't separate cases for presidents and judges.
Step 1: simple majority in house to impeach, analogous to indicting someone for crimes
Steo 2: senate trial, 2/3rds to convict and remove from office.
isn't easier to just add more federal judges to water down the system than to impeach the dumb ones?
Didn't Obama or Bush or someone do that?

Yes, it is easier and if we want to address McConnell's robbery of the judiciary, is what we will have to do.
So in this hyper partisan era there's essentially zero check/fail safe to prevent whichever side is in power from appointing ridiculous hacks into lifetime positions? Mindblowing.
It's another reason why McConnell will go down as one of the most important and influential Republicans of all time. Oh, and evil.
As an Alabamian, election night 2017 was a pleasant surprise too
So that rally around the flag bump was both small and didn't last very long, huh?:V
Fewer than half of Americans believe their daily routine will return to normal by June, as fears over coronavirus rise: POLL
Fewer than half of Americans believe their daily routine will return to normal by June 1, amid sharply rising concerns over coronavirus, a new ABC News/Ipsos poll shows.abcnews.go.com
Trump's approval for his handling of the public health crisis is now falling closer to where it was three weeks ago, after a series of polls showed some Americans rallying behind the commander-in-chief - resulting in a slight bump in approval for his response.But as the month of April begins, Trump's approval for his management of the coronavirus is now under-water, 47-52%. Approval is down from 55% in the poll released on March 20, and closer to where it was in the March 13 poll, when it was 43%.The latest poll was conducted April 1-2, which comes after Trump and health officials with the coronavirus task force, which is charged with overseeing the federal government's response, warned the country to brace for a "very painful" few weeks ahead, after outlining dire projections on Tuesday that between 100,000 and 240,000 Americans will die of the novel coronavirus, even if social distancing measures are strictly followed.Just last week, the president offered a far more positive outlook, when he said he envisioned "packed churches" on Easter. But this week, in a sharp turn in tone, Trump said that the estimate of between 100,000 and 240,000 is a "very low number" in comparison to a 2.2 million projection if no action had been taken.ABC News/Ipsos has polled three of the last four weeks, but during the one off-week last week, an ABC News/Washington Post poll was released.Trump's approval on coronavirus in this poll is close to his overall approval rating in last week's ABC News/Washington Post poll, when it was 48%.Consistent with this, in the new ABC News/Ipsos poll, perceptions of Trump among ideologues also appear back closer to where it's long been, with most reverting back to their partisan tribes. Only 9% of Democrats approve of the president's handling of coronavirus, which is less than a third of the 30% of Democrats who said the same in the poll two weeks ago. Meanwhile, 91% of Republicans approve now, which is on par with the March 20 poll.And, in terms of disapproval, the numbers show an exact mirror image, with 91% of Democrats disapproving, up from 69% two weeks ago, and 9% of Republicans saying the same, similar to the 8% in the last ABC News/Ipsos poll.
I think even a week or two more could've given it to him. The GOP started with their healthcare shenanigans then.

Welp, so much for that.
"May you live in interesting times" sure is turning out to be quite the curse, eh?
Surprisingly, things have actually become easier for me. I know I'm in the minority, but my daily routine hasn't really been negatively impacted. My work routine has actually improved since I no longer have to do face to face interviews at work anymore. Now it's basically just intake interviews for foodstamps over the phone and processing applications. My workload is way reduced.
Senators clashed over Hunter Biden probe in classified briefing
A Senate committee is pressing ahead with an investigation into the former vice president's son even as the coronavirus pandemic rages on.www.politico.com
A key Senate committee is vowing to press forward with its investigation targeting former Vice President Joe Biden's son Hunter, despite logistical challenges posed by the global coronavirus pandemic.The probe, which Democrats vigorously oppose, has fueled tension among the Senate's ranks, even breaking out into a rare and previously unreported verbal altercation between senators during a classified briefing.The Senate Homeland Security Committee's Republican-led inquiry was entering a critical phase last month when senators dropped all nonessential work to focus on delivering economic and medical relief as the coronavirus reached a crisis point in the United States. The Senate is not due back in Washington until April 20 at the earliest."While the chairman is primarily focused on the once-in-a-generation crisis we're experiencing, our oversight staff is continuing to push ahead with their work. Nothing has changed in our long-term plans for our investigations," said Austin Altenburg, a spokesman for the committee's chairman, Sen. Ron Johnson (R-Wisc.).In fact, a Senate staffer working on the probe explicitly told one witness' legal team several weeks ago — just before the wave of lockdowns — that the coronavirus pandemic would not impede the committee's probe, according to a source familiar with the matter.And less than a month ago, a top-secret briefing centered on 2020 election security spiraled into a combative and partisan snipe-fest when Democratic senators began asking about the Biden investigation. It was a reflection of the widespread uneasiness surrounding the probe that was apparent even before the coronavirus pandemic became senators' top priority.
I see Senator Gollum has seen Jaime Harrisons internals.
Or Dipshit McSoninlaws confused grifting one.
Business? Yes. """Business?""" Quite well even given the brazeness.
Wait, who are the two likely Democratic nominees for the two Senate set in Georgia later this year? Lieberman is running, but who else?
