Can we take this one-step-at-a-time (world & media).
We are barely getting-out of this winter, and they are already talking about and predicting how next winter will be.
Ugggggg.
I'm all for preparation, but please.

OMG, could this be true?
And yet we still have people who want to re-elect this Orange-Killer-Klown.

There are over 52,000 deaths in the USA, and he is being "sarcastic" during a Covid-19 pandemic briefing. Just think about that for a second or two.

Kushner calls US coronavirus response a "great success story."

President Donald Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, praised the administration's response to the coronavirus pandemic as a "great success story" on Wednesday -- less than a day after the number of confirmed coronavirus cases in the United States topped 1 million.

Kushner painted a rosy picture for "Fox and Friends" Wednesday morning, saying that "the federal government rose to the challenge and this is a great success story and I think that that's really what needs to be told."

The petulant narcissist just can't handle women asking him smart questions, ran away like a coward.

It also looks as if the reporter he told to ask China is Asian American? So her trying to get him to answer why he told her that specifically is a very important question.

Yes she is Asian American. It's Weijia Jiang from CBS news.
He's always like this to her. He argued and yelled at her in a press conference 2 or 3 weeks ago as well.
This man is nothing but human scum and the sooner we get rid of him and this administration, the better.

He is an absolute jacka$$.
And then people wonder why  Asian-Americans are experiencing an increase a bigoted comments towards them. When you have the President doing things like this, it does not help.
But, yes I see from the video, that the Orange Buffoon retreated like a coward, because it got to hot in the kitchen, and he couldnt handle it.

Every GOP senator who attended a news conference today wore a mask.
Via CNN Live Updates.

A group of GOP senators all wore face masks to a news conference to where they unveiled their police reform plan.

When each senator approached the lectern to speak, he or she removed his or her mask. The senators put their masks back on when they returned to the sides of the podium.

This is in contrast to how the White House how handled events and news conferences in the pandemic: In the Rose Garden on Tuesday afternoon, President Trump announced an executive order on policing without a mask on.

And by the look of a video the White House sent out on Twitter shortly afterward, almost no one in attendance wore a mask either.

I'm shocked, but very happy to see they are wearing masks.
True leaders lead by example.
It's also a big "f*** you" to trump (and Pence).

I cannot properly convey my contempt for these people.

These workers (and trump) should be thrown in jail.
Just amazing. Unbelievable.
