Wrong movie. Mowgli burned him up.
Which movie?
In the book, Mowgli skinned him and put the skin on the wolf pack’s Council Rock.
I think it would be brilliant if the reporters at the pressers just asked inane questions. “Mr. President, which flavor of Baskin Robbins is your favorite?”, or “Is Kim Kardashian more famous than Kanye West?”.
He lies about anything and everything anyway.
Shit, let’s just get it over with: Make a giant mural of Trump, and put it on the front of the White House. It’ll be like the American version of Tiananmen.
Well, you can’t make the large bucks without cornering the market.
Wait until doctors and nurses have to pay $10,000 for each disposable mask! That’ll be some epic capitalism!
And, more importantly, Donald will finally be able to buy Greenland! No extradition treaty will be able to touch him in the newly-christened Trumpland!
The weakness in that strategery would lie in the likelihood that more facilities might begin to implement some sort of effective cleaning method that would allow them to reuse the masks.
Both recent ones.
In the 2016 live-action movie, Shere Khan falls into a fire that Mowgli accidentally started.
In the 1967 animated film, Mowgli ties a torch to Shere Khan’s tail and he runs away.
Yes, I know. There is zero chance that Trump ever read the book.
Brilliant! And when they’re queried as to why they’re asking such questions they respond, “We decided as a body to ask only questions the President is competent to answer.”
“Does a moron say ‘What’”?
I guess we need to have the administration’s misinformation and self-congratulatory propaganda to balance out the truth:
Pence’s office blocks public health officials from appearing on CNN
And, of course, if CNN and other networks are forced to carry the whole dog-and-pony show, it takes time away from the follow-up analysis of what BS Trump has just spewed.
Another reason is it takes away time from Pence praising Trump and his work, as well as other invited guests dos during that time. In short, they take away campaigning efforts.
Morning Joe made an observation I thought was interesting: Since Trump can’t hold his rallies, he sort of treats these briefings in part as pseudo campaign rallies to get his fix of being the center of attention and as a platform for his boasting and airing of grievances.
The briefings are full of going after the FAKE NEWS and attacking reporters; congratulating himself and his administration on what an amazing job they’ve done; blaming Democrats, the WHO, China, Obama, and etc for all the response problems–everyone but himself; and just plain lying.
The problem, Morning Joe noted, is that people choose to attend his rallies. It’s like going to a wrestling event; you want to be there and you know what you’re going to get.
Now we have a nation full of public health and economic anxieties tuning in and watching him for information and reassurance and they can see his act for themselves and that Trump isn’t up to the task.
They can see Trump for the snake oil salesman he is.
Just when you think things can’t get any worse.
Individual 1 is considering naming Arthur Laffer to head up the post-shutdown economic recovery effort.
If there’s one thing this administration has taught us it’s that things can ALWAYS get worse.
It occurs to me that the America-hating Fucksplinter (did you see what I did there?) CAN’T prevent MRS. Fauci from appearing on CNN. And it (excuse me, HE) can’t prevent Dr. Fauci from speaking to his wife.
Mike Pence is refusing to allow his medical experts to go on CNN because they aren’t airing Individual 1’s rallies/coroanvirus briefings.
(Let me consult my crystal ball) his first recommendation to get us on the road to recovery will be…corporate tax cuts.
I think those experts should promptly set up their own YouTube channel.
The simple solution: Trump will patent-troll that method! And then charge through the roof for its use!
He really does want to own Greenland, you know. He’s motivated.
If CNN gives in, they will lose a LOT of disgusted viewers.
(Not to dis Fauci, but there are plenty of other experts.)
Well, of course he does. After all, the streets are paved with money. I mean, obviously: it is right there in the name.
