My first thought was “Who rips out 2 rows of beautiful flowering trees?”
Seriously this is what it would look like if the Orcs planted a garden.
All the beautiful colors are gone. It’s just so damn boring.
Yeah, I don’t get why he’s saying that like it’s a bad thing.
President Trump plans to hold a news conference Sunday evening regarding a potential major therapeutic “breakthrough” for treating the coronavirus.
The president will announce the development at 6 p.m., accompanied by Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar and Dr. Stephen Hahn, head of the Food and Drug Administration, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany posted on Twitter late Saturday.
No other details were provided.
Right. 
I normally think Melania has impeccable taste…
Bwahahahahahahahaha AhahahahahahahahahaAhahahahahahahahahaAhahahahahahahahaha
I can’t breathe. 
Oh, lord, please don’t let this be that oleander extract bullshit from last week. The last thing we need is more snake oil.
From his point of view, that’s what they hope for, that millions of his supporters refuse to accept a Biden-Harris win.
A couple of the comments say it makes it easier for the disabled to get around.
They seem to have forgotten a couple of points.
Besides hiding behind fortifications, The White House is closed to tours. .
The only use Trump has for the disabled is as a target of ridicule.
Has anyone actually tried snake oil? Many people are saying actual snake oil works!
Myself, I’d be jumping with joy for days if Trump gave a big Sunday press conference to promote the oleander bullshit.
Lately, I’ve been feeling like every day something else happened to expose the outright grift of the conservative movement. Yesterday, I read some reporting about how the Trump campaign is swindling the Trump campaign and I’m going to post something on that later today when I have more time.
But, a big press conference to promote an obvious fraud? Seems like the logical next step.
And they announce this (in a tweet) the day after $45 tagged the head of the FDA in a tweet about not moving fast enough on approving therapeutics.
The research? Secret, classified. The immunology, the double-blind testing, the peer-reviewed papers? Oh, you better believe that was all secret! You’re gonna see pictures of astonished science nerds staring with mouths agape at the amazing geniusness of it all!
It involves a fantastic and incredible advance in pillow science! That’s all I can tell you right now.
Ah yes, of course, the pillow science.
Pillow seance?
Yeah, I can see the temptation for that. But, unfortunately, there are still so many people in this country who listen to that moron, that promoting quackery is going to likely get people hurt. We should really start stressing the Herman Cain scenario more to show the consquences of following Trump.
Trump Voice: I have the best snakes, the most beautiful snakes you ever saw!
Every time he opens his mouth a lie comes out.
This morning, at 7:22 AM, Donald Trump decided to get a bug up his ass about how the evil, God-hating Democrats at the evil, God-hating Democratic National Convention omitted the words “under God” from the Pledge of Allegiance. “Decided” is the operative word here, as it is just as unlikely that he sincerely gives a shit about this as it is that he actually knows the words to the Pledge. No, no. He just figured that this would be a good way to get evangelicals worked up and excited to vote for him in order to keep Joe Biden, a practicing Catholic, from forcing everyone in America to be an atheist. I guess.
…It was not there originally, when it was written by the Reverend Francis Bellamy (who by the way was a socialist) — it was added in the 1950s to differentiate us, the good, God-fearing United States Americans from the “godless Communists” in the Soviet Union.
…
I started first grade in 1954 and I remember being told when we were learning the pledge that the words “under God” had just been added to it. But then I had never heard the pledge before so that was news to me.
I’m genuinely curious if his supporters still believe him or are happy to ignore his bullshit because he hates all the same people they do? I mean all the way back to the beginning “I’m going to build a wall and Mexico is going to pay for it” never happened but it’s ok because he hates Mexicans.
Three years later it’s still the same nonsense. He just says stuff that never happens but it’s ok because “very good people on both sides”.
Do his supporters still believe the crap that he says or just don’t care that it’s a lie?
Since so many of those evangelicals also are the primary group who fetishize the Confederacy, I wonder why they include “indivisible” in the pledge.
There was a story on CBS Sunday Morning last Sunday, about Presidential Emergency Action Documents, or PEE-ads. The gist was: this has been around since the Cold War, designed to give the President extraordinary powers in the event of incoming nukes. But nobody knows exactly what those powers are…they’re secret, and nobody’s ever looked deeply into it. The only person in the story who had any insight was John “Torture Memo” Yoo*, and his take was: yes, they’re extraordinary, and I’m fine with that, because what could go wrong?
Many presidents have invoked these powers in times of natural disasters. Trump invoked them to embezzle funds for his wall.
So I had originally thought that the most likely election scenario was legal: Trump would file bogus lawsuits against any and all states that he didn’t carry on Election Night. But now I’m concerned that he’s going to go completely off the rails and invoke emergency powers to invalidate the election completely.
*To my eternal embarrassment, Yoo is employed by my alma mater. I think we should do like Fox News, and tag him as the opposition. Any chyron mentioning him should say he’s a professor at Stanford Law.
Anybody got any ideas what this could be?
I’m sort of hoping it’s an obviously dangerous and ineffective “treatment” like the oleander that most people won’t fall for. I don’t want anyone to be hurt, but I think oleander would harm the least number of people because most will disregard it. OTOH, if he announces that he insists the FDA forego testing on a vaccine and approve it now, that could hurt a lot more people.
