Dr. Rick Bright testifying in front of the house at the mo. Brave guy, really feel for him - the Trump administration will discredit him somehow.

Jamze - they're pretty much the same words he's used to dismiss others; maybe the orange buffoon has memorised them for repeated use.
Should be easy for Rick Bright - or US media - to find photos of Bright and trump together.
On Fauci's latest guidance- "I was surprised by his answer actually, because, you know, it's just to me - it's not an acceptable answer, especially when it comes to schools"
Not a good sign...
The man is a proven racist, you only have to look at comments he's made in the past especially towards women.
I really don't know why he has experts around him as he seems to ignore or criticises everything they say or recommend and do what he wants.
I doubt rick bright will be getting a merry Xmas card from tinker bell this year
Maybe if he learnt a few Latin phrases it would help with his delivery?

Dulce et Decorum Est?
I hadn't been aware Trump and the reporter had history, the reactions and cries of "racist" make more sense.
The 'N1H1' slip-up was quite amusing at that factory visit. He paused...and then repeated the story of how Biden always gets that muddled up.
He was talking about his brother Fred, so I googled that - he died aged 42.
Interesting that his grandfather, Frederick Trump died in 1918 and was actually one of the first reported cases of Spanish Flu. Trump has often said he 'didn't know people died from the flu' 🙄

Not seen any mention of Sarah Cooper here yet. We don't need to see the orange lunatic himself now.
Plus I can imagine him choking on his own rage at this.
Thanks for the Sarah Cooper link, absolutely brilliant!
Yes, thanks for Sarah Cooper link.
I've seen a couple of Sarah Cooper videos they are good. But reading the Guardian interview with her I love this bit
“It is interesting because as a writer you want to heighten how ridiculous things are. But everything he says is already so ridiculous that it is hard to heighten it”
WTF!!!!!!!! word salad...
When you see them going into those hospitals and, they're puttin' the stuff you deliver, but they're wrapping themselves, and the doors are opening, and they're going through the doors and they're not even ready to go through those doors, they probably shouldn't.
-- Donald Trump
This should get the US to 200k deaths and quickly; opening for business, with or without vaccine.

To be fair, he’s got more important things to be worrying about other than a couple of hundred dead people

Seems he's now channelling Star Trek, the search for a vaccine is to proceed at warp speed and the doctor at the head of it is William Shaffner, at least according to R4 this morning.
Sorry, didn't see the link earlier, already reprted
Another bizarre Trump day.
His presser in the Rose Garden was disrupted by a truckers protest. He says 'That's the sign of love, not the sign of your typical protest'.
Operation Warp Speed gets announced.
McEnany spent the day carrying around two WHSmiths A4 binders as proof that they did indeed have a tested pandemic plan that they are following. Did it take 4 months to find it? I assume this is in response to Bright's testimony that the existing plans were ignored. Trump suggesting they never existed. Mitch McConnell stated Obama didn't leave one. Then ex-Obama staffers posted it for all to see.
McEnany went into more details on how Obama's plans were no good, so they redid all the plans and did a full test of a pandemic response last year. When asked why they didn't notice the national stockpile 'cupboards were bare' at that point she said they were far too busy dealing with bioterrorism threats (Obama's fault) 🤔
Good news, Trump has a plan.
Then later on Fox, McEnany was asked what's in the plan to tackle any second wave. 'No, we have not made plans for the possible return of the pandemic'.
Then he finishes the day with...

Only a never-Trumper would confuse Star Wars and Star Trek!
If he wins a second term the US is going to be a no-go zone for travellers, it'll be riddled with Covid-19 for years to come even if they manage to make a vaccine. You can guarantee that first supplies will go to the rich and wealthy with the poor and marginalised at the back of the queue. If he loses and we get someone else then they will have a massive amount of crap to undo in addition to dealing with the mess of Covid-19 which will take years.
Either way the US is going to be the leper of the world.
...even if they manage to make a vaccine. You can guarantee that first supplies will go to the rich and wealthy with the poor and marginalised at the back of the queue
Will be very interesting to see how his Warp Speed initiative works alongside the WHO ACT Accelerator initiative. Someone did ask him what happens if China finds a vaccine...
From memory, China, Russia and India are not signed up to the WHO initiative either.
"We Call It The Super Duper Missile"
Outside of the argument that it isn't needed at the moment, calling a weapon 'that' shows that you are not a rational human being, but a toddler brained meat puppet
About the only thing, he's firing at the minute, he's definitely not firing on all cylinders.

Who would be stupid enough to pin their future on the US as a major trading partner going forwards eh?
Ooooohhhh...
International Trade Secretary Liz Truss said:
The US is our largest trading partner
So theres the first lie in the first sentence uttered by ****wit truss.
£291 billion of trade/45% of uk exports are to the EU
£220 billion of trade/19% of uk exports are to the USA
I didn't bother reading anymore
Whenever I read the words’International Trade Secretary Liz Truss’ I know that this country is truly ****ed!
I’ve got tins of soup in the kitchen cupboards that could easily outwit her
£291 billion of trade/45% of uk exports are to the EU
£220 billion of trade/19% of uk exports are to the USA
They'd duck that as EU isn't a partner, it's a group of partners (I do agree though)
But your maths doesn't add up either, if 220M is 19%, 45% would be close to £500M
trump doesn't drink but he's clearly off his tits on something.....
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/498135-trump-puts-pressure-on-gop-dismisses-biden-and-jabs-media-in
And showing that he really does care about all, he's 'considering' making a covid vaccine free to all - how very considerate of him; he's an odious bag of cells
https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/498080-trump-says-administration-is-looking-at-making-coronavirus-vaccine
I wonder when he last had a bit of sexy time with Melania?

I found the figures through a FT link so i guess the figures are relevant to the type of goods traded
I wonder when he last had a bit of sexy time with Melania?
I bet she didn’t think it was super duper.
what the, that video, that's the actual twitter account of POTUS.
I don't understand any more
edit: the only way I can understand it is if he's having some giant joke with Putin about how he can top whatever he did last.
What the fu.. is going on....!?
Melania, close your eyes and think to yourself....helping to make 'murica great again.
Don't forget to douche.
Don’t forget
tohe’s a douche.
I’ve not read all of this article yet, and it’s part of a bigger piece, but it’s fascinating and frightening in equal measure, it shows how QAnon is influencing American culture, and how dTrump is repeatedly quoting QAnon on Twitter, QAnon almost seems to be forming a new religion.
https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2020/06/qanon-nothing-can-stop-what-is-coming/610567/
He'll be pissed off when he remembers that the people that actually saved the day in that film were a jew and a black guy...
Either one of his team made that clip and he thinks it paints him in a good light or a troll has just won the internet for a day as he's swallowed it hook, line and sinker.
Sadly his supporters will love and share it.

'QAnon theorists have touted drinking bleach (known as MMS, or Miracle Mineral Solution) as a "miracle cure".'
Remind you of anyone?!
That Obama speech is rubbish. Not one claim of fake news, they're a bad person, how great he is, how he's doing better than any other country. Just encouragement to the future generation.
Obama was, in my view, one of the best Presidents there has been. He was held back by the Republican controlled upper house.
The speech (above) shows what a thoroughly decent guy he is.
It's such a pity that so many USA residents think he did no good.
Compare him to the current idiot in charge, and the contrast is so large, it still amazes me that people say they will still vote for Trump.
My partners American, peeps in her family who are otherwise seemingly rational think Trump “isn’t that bad”. People just ignore what doesn’t suit them.

Sort of sounds a bit like Germany in the 1930s......
Wow daz, that is a pretty damning report.
But it is MSNBC, just part of the failed lame media. I think while we would consider them big business corporaist media, in the US they are seen as socialist.
That "Trumps head on a scene from a movie" just demonstrates one thing, and that is that there is no real Trump speach he can link to which makes him seem "Presidential". The fact he has to rely on "made up" glory really tells us everything we need to know......

Same with my family in the US. When Covid was kicking off here in Feb I spoke to them asking what was happening there and was told 'media fake news'. Was amazed.
One of my team at work her girlfriend is American lives in New Jersey. The thought of hers and her family is Trump is dangerous and unhinged.
This is one in a series https://twitter.com/45rapedkatie7/status/1261726631061868544
a bit of sexy time with Melania?
I like Family Guy's depiction of Melania (To Peter); "Kill him and I will do the sex with you"
MSNBC have versions of Trump that they track. They single out 'sweaty Trump', agitated, hyper and sniffs a lot. Hard to see what they are alluding to...
Fingers crossed for a massive adverse reaction.
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-52717161
Yeah, I saw that.
Can anyone tell me what he seeks to gain by promoting that anti malarial?
Or is out simply one of those things he just totally fixates on, a bit like he is with Obama?
If true, it would appear there is no limit to what he will do to keep himself front and centre in news.
Nope, I don’t believe he’s taking hydroxychroloquine, the White House doctor would have to sanction the use and ultimately take the blame if tinker bell developed adverse side effects. He’s trying to shill pills as his mates have obviously bought a shitload on the promise that they’d make a return on initial cost.
Trump just’a shilling as a trump does best
Can anyone tell me what he seeks to gain by promoting that anti malarial?
He doesn't have the leadership skills or the inclination to do the actual hard work required to tackle the virus, so he's gambling that it's a miracle cure and he ends up looking like the cleverest guy in the room.
And of course...
https://www.thedailybeast.com/trump-reportedly-has-financial-interest-in-hydroxychloroquine-manufacturer
Nope, I don’t believe he’s taking hydroxychroloquine, the White House doctor would have to sanction the use
WH doctor sanctioned it:
He really is taking that stuff.
The side effects are pretty wild.
But apparently the side effects don't include curing Covid19:
https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1844
https://www.bmj.com/content/369/bmj.m1849
Administration of hydroxychloroquine did not result in a significantly higher probability of negative conversion than standard of care alone in patients admitted to hospital with mainly persistent mild to moderate covid-19. Adverse events were higher in hydroxychloroquine recipients than in non-recipients.
Excellent.
Maybe he could start hawking homeopathic cures for C19 next.
At least they'd do nothing and have no side effects.
They’ll be one hell of a tweet storm when he wakes up
Hopefully, one day, he won't.
You miss the point, though. The target audience don't get to see news. They don't seek it out nor is it provided to them. They have their own existing prejudices played back to them as 'news' via social media. They are even further down this path than we are in the UK. I'll give the cynical shits like Cummings and Bannon some credit because they saw the potential in this co-opted brainwashing and bloody hell have they used it.
So he's been taking hydroxychloroquine for a fortnight....just in case the increased chances of liver damage, suicide or heart complaints don't get him, can someone suggest he tries his other pet cure out soon.....syringes and the stuff itself are readily available.
Any chance he can wash them down with a mouthful of Domestos?
What a fing idiot..
If you read the letter Trumps doctor wrote, do you notice something? At no point does it actually say the Doctor prescibed hydroxychloroquine or that Trump is actually taking hydroxychloroquine!
It's a carefully weasle worded letter, designed to make stupid people who can't read assume things they shouldn't assume.
It mentioned that the Doctor and Trump "discussed" the drug, but that's it.
Direct Quote:
"After numerous discussions he and I had regarding the evidence for and against the use of hydroxychloroquine, we concluded the potential benefit from the treatment outweighed the relative risks"
I like the twitter version, which was his doctor has been giving him Skittles, and told him it was hydrochloroquine
As diplomatic as always. Wacko? This WHO and China situation makes me cringe. Yeah, we need to review what happened, but just crack on and sort the health emergency first.
Made me smile this week, Trump started to say he was considering funding WHO again, but would only pay as much as China. China then announced it was going to pay $2 billion over 2 years.
This seems to have triggered the angry letter to the WHO - which the Lancet wasn't too impressed to be named in, so they corrected Trump.

Just been speaking to someone about that in FL. She claims she was being told to alter the dates on COVID case data so that the graphs showed a nice downward trajectory to support their exit from lockdown.
Georgia had a similar thing, an x-axis on a graph was mixed up so it showed a downward trend. An honest mistake they say.
Hmmm. And they are pointing at China for lack of transparency?
To paraphrase himself, he could accuse someone of murder on Twitter and still not have his account banned.
Meanwhile, a QAnon supporter wins a Senate primary in Oregon. I notice her celebratory speech on Twitter has been taken down.
Seems ol’ tangerine face is very proud of winning Michigan’s ‘Man of the year’ Award* referencing it in a speech/rally there.
*Award does not exist, never has.
‘I tested very positively in another sense so-this morning. Yeah. I tested positively toward negative, right. So. I tested perfectly this morning. Meaning I tested negative.’
