Well, you’ve probably noticed that Trump is getting the band back together. Manafort, Flynn, and he wants to bring back Corey Lewandowski… we’ve got a goddam election coming up he needs to steal again!
Barron must be getting on Melania’s nerves. Interrupting her day-drinking.
Michael Cohen was released, and right when he got to the vestibule, they slammed the gate and said “just kidding”
*A woman who had accused Dr. Anthony Fauci of sexual assault now claims she was paid to lie about the public health expert by a pair of President Donald Trump’s supporters.
The woman says right-wing provocateur Jacob Wohl and his frequent accomplice Jack Burkman persuaded her to cast Fauci as the assailant using details from an actual sexual assault she survived just after high school, and they paid her to do it, reported Reason.

Speaking of Fox, is it just me, or have they been using computer-generated backgrounds more than they used to?
I can only assume that they lack faith in the stupidity of their viewers, who might start wondering why they haven’t resumed normal studio operations if the coronavirus is a hoax that will miraculously go away and was never all that dangerous to begin with.
The same reason Dear Leader has everyone in the West Wing wearing masks but he won’t. Selective magic.
It literally makes me go nucular!
No, he has an aura of awesomeness that the Corona virus wouldn’t dare invade, so he doesn’t need to wear a mask.
Actually wearing a mask does very little for YOU; it’s mostly to keep whatever germs YOU have from being spread to others. Since the semi-cogent cheeto doesn’t give a pair of fettid dingo’s kidneys about anyone else, why would he wear a mask?
Fox is telling their employees to stay at home but are telling their viewers to go out and party.
Or if the virus lands on him it immediately commits suicide. Hmmm… maybe a potential vaccine here…
My bold. Just one nitpick: fetid. Otherwise, great visual… poetic even. 
There’s a fairly ugly branch on the Twitter tree that applauds Don for not wearing a mask because it would appear “unmanly.”
We’ve got a long way to go, don’t we?
Ach, timeout dupe.
It’s no surprise that Fearless Leader has decided to attempt to politically weaponize the state shutdowns, rather than to support governors and mayors who are the boots on the ground. IMO, he is not only backing the wrong horse here, he has seriously underestimated how the majority of people feel about exercising caution. Instead, he’s buying into the opinions of the very few covidiots out there who are making all the noise. In the face of tens of thousands of deaths and hundreds of thousands of infections, his usual ploy of pitting people against one another is quite likely to backfire badly. At least I hope so. If there is a resurgence of the infection rate, which is quite likely, the blame will fall squarely on his narrow shoulders, and I hope the blowback is immediate and ferocious.
Well, that figures! Evil little turds!
Getting the blood of over a hundred thousand people onto his tiny little hands is his most impressive accomplishment.
Yesterday’s XKCD strip bears this out – caution seems to be a really popular idea. (And he gives the source for all polling data, so I presume his numbers are legit.)
The judge in the Mike Flynn case, ignoring the DOJ’s decision to drop charges against Flynn, has appointed an outside retired judge to investigate whether to drop the charges, or to charge Flynn with perjury.
