Hard to tell the truth when you don't have the foggiest what it is and cannot bring yourself to admit it, Ms. McEnany.

Quote
Washington (CNN)President Donald Trump said he doesn't know of a time he's taken more than one coronavirus test in a day, directly contradicting his press secretary in the first question of his press briefing Tuesday.

"I don't know about more than one," Trump responded to a reporter who asked why he was tested more than once a day. "I do probably on average a test every two days, three days, and I don't know of any time I've taken two in one day, but I could see that happening."
Speaking during a morning briefing just hours earlier, press secretary Kayleigh McEneny described Trump as the "most tested man in America" who doesn't risk spreading the virus to others.
"He's tested more than anyone, multiple times a day," she said. "And we believe that he's acting appropriately."

Trump 2020’s first billion has only gotten them down ten points from where they were against Biden from when they started spending. It’s looking like their next couple billion will cover a similar 10 point slide, unless of course they run out of money first. Grifters are expensive when all the hiring is done by schmucks.

She’s paid to lie and sell out behind third rate makeup, not keep up with the diapered dauphin in the late stages of his decline.

It’s his grown children who do that. If you want to know how often trump is tested you’ll have to ask Ivanka, unless it turns out she doesn’t give a fuck either.

"We will NOT shrink from our duty!"

-  Chad Wolf, re:  Portland issue

Wolf in an interview on Fox said his forces are making “proactive arrests” in Portland.

Tell me a way to interpret that statement that doesn’t point to it being a blatantly unconstitutional abuse.

It so doesn't matter

But no - I would not be at all surprised to find out the 85 number was embellished

You were also pretty sure the death toll would continue to go down, weren’t you.  And laughed (heh) at Warren for saying they would actually go back up.

We are back to over 1,000 deaths a day.

So when your judgment has already proven to be suspect what would and wouldn’t surprise you is of no value here.

When the CBP troops first arrived in Portland, the number of demonstrators was down to about 100.

It's up to 1,000 now.

By all means, send in the CBP troops to more cities. It's one surefire way to get turnout and activism numbers up!

There are cognitive tests that show one's ability to predict cause and effect.  Really obvious effects,  like the soaring # of demonstrators.  OTOH if a rhinoceros appears in the streets of Portland, Trump will be able to identify it.

When you ally yourself with Trump, you tend to be wrong about most everything.  Especially CV-19 related.


Biden should slowly start usurping the functions Trump neglects. 
Biden should say that now that we finally have a consensus on masks wearing, we need all Americans to wear masks in public so that we can contain the virus and reopen the economy and schools sooner.
Basically Biden should say the stuff Trump refuses to.  Bidne should act presidential and lead in the absence of Trump leadership.

News Items—


South side Chicago shooting sends 14 to Hospitals on Wednesday. ( All we saw was just bodies laying everywhere," witness Arnita Gerder told WMAQ. "Shot up everywhere, all over. Legs, stomach, back, all over the place. We thought it was a war out here.")


Meanwhile

We sent our kids to summer camp. It shut down with a COVID-19 outbreak after just a few days. This is what school will look like.
