What part of "We promised 20,000,000 and delivered 12,400,000" do you think the media is overblowing?


That part

I provided the quotes earlier.

So, no. Not overblown.

Have to link to the quotes and note who they are from

Longest time they have been attributed to POTUS and with the word PROMISE attached to exact numbers

Thanks

I gave the links, jackass.

But since you aren't actually interested in facts, just this fantasy you have constructed about "the media," it doesn't matter. I carefully chose all Fox News links, too, to avoid your usual bullshit about CNN, et al.

And as has already been pointed out to you by others, the Administration has admitted they have performed poorly. Seems the person whose verbiage on this is you.

CNN headline of the day

https://www.cnn.com/2021/01/01/politics/mar-a-lago-new-years-eve/index.html

heh

Totally irresponsible.

Them, for partying maskless?

Or CNN for making that headline?
With Trump a no-show, Mar-a-Lago guests left to party maskless with Rudy Giuliani and Vanilla Ice

I suspect you mean the partiers.

I suspect Kid wants to claim that this is yet another overblown headline.

The partiers, and the organisers.
Meanwhile, in NSW state bambuland...Premier Gladys and co have had enough of it...the irresponsible no-ideas just doing as they please.

DailyTelegraph today:

"Strict new mask rules as NSW records 7 more Covid cases; Pair fined $19,000 each for fleeing airport.

Masks will be mandatory on public transport and other indoor settings for those in Sydney and surrounds as NSW records 7 local cases.
Meanwhile, two travellers from NSW who fled Melbourne Airport when ordered into quarantine have turned themselves in to police."

#####

Masks will be compulsory in cinemas, hairdressers, malls, supermarkets, public transport, gaming areas of clubs, all places of worship, all staff in hospitality venues large and small, beauty parlours.
1 person per 4 sq metres rule to re apply in indoor venues, weddings. funerals etc.

my tv news just had a segment about the mutant strain of Covid in Britain...and how it has exploded.
It's 70% more infectious than the original one and affects young children and teens greatly. Schools are closed.
Boris has decided to delay the second jab for those who have had the first one ...from 3 weeks to 12 weeks...so that more people can get the first one now.
Basically "a wing and a prayer" because the vaccine was tested and approved for 1st jab, then 3 weeks later 2nd jab.

Florida is doing OK with their mask rules.

And yeah, the headline reeked of idiocy. 

CNN - and the lib commentary world - rails against Trump when he plays golf rather than work (as if a round takes an entire day)

Yet they make it a negative when Trump decides to skip a party - during what would be most president's vacation time - and get back to Washington.

As for Ice and The Rude - there were many dignitaries in attendance - where the "4 figure" tab would have been well worth it.

Josh is a bigger idiot for defending.

The negative was the party, dim bulb.

And no, the headline was accurate - sure, Vanilla Ice was silly, but Rudy wasn't.

And you? You want to ignore the "maskless" part and claim Florida is doing all right.

Thursday's new cases were 15% higher than they had ever been before, while daily deaths have doubles in less than 2 months.

Whether the problem is with their mask laws or with people like Giuliani, Florida is doing anything but "OK with their mask rules" and their group gathering rules.

Florida is fucked. Their governor is an utter moron. Their legislature is a pit of vipers. The virus is out of control in that state. It’s a good place for trump to go and die a brutally ugly death as a nice object lesson for all Floridians believing in his protective glow or any other fantasy from trump world.

As many as 500 tickets were sold for this year's event

Like other gatherings at Mar-a-Lago this year, almost no guests wore masks.

No, the party was not good.

I get that you are okay with superspreader events like other gatherings the president has sponsored.

You are a sick child.

Trump was among the Righties who mocked Obama for golfing frequently.
Then Pres.Trump went golfing 1 out of every 5 days, much more than O.
But it really hasn't been a big issue with the Dems or media.  But it was the Right and Trump who made presidential golfing an issue.  One among many of their dumb distractions and niggling. 
Wish Trump had better/competent people running various departments that he could delegate to.

Not wearing a mask in Sydney and 2hrs north, south, and west from midnite tonite?
That's a fine of $200.
Grace period of 24 hours...time to get a mask.
Fines start midnite Sunday.

Oh, look.

People sitting at an indoor event at tables for ten, with most of them not wearing masks.

What's your point?!

https://www.syracuse.com/politics/2020/12/brindisi-tenney-race-narrows-even-more-3-to-5-votes-separate-candidates.html

A about 1700 more previously excluded ballots are to be counted, of which, if the pattern continues, maybe 250-300 will be determined to be valid and then counted.

Even then, they still have to be presented to the judge overseeing the case.

And while they say what the gap is, roughly, they are not saying who has the lead!
