Don't really think Fauci gives a shit. He's 79, respected everywhere. Trump k own who has the credibility and it eats him up.
He gives a shit.

If he didn't he'd have retired a long time ago. He doesn't want to be replaced by a sycophant.

He's properly gone off the deep end this time.
This is the bloke who is running the show in America is it? Blimey. Say what you like about Boris/Corbyn or any of our politicians, but at least they can string a cogent argument together for the most part.

So are we finally, finally(!) going to see the 2nd Amendment come into its own when Trump takes his tanks into these rogue states? I never even imagined beyond my wildest dreams that in my life time... no way :lol:

Quickie from Wiki:
Madison wrote how a federal army could be kept in check by state militias, "a standing army ... would be opposed [by] a militia." He argued that state militias "would be able to repel the danger" of a federal army, "

Completely not in the spirit of the second amendment though.

The idea behind 2A was so that citizens could be armed and form an army against a tyrannical government.

In this case, the citizens will be armed and form an army to support the tyrannical government.


Another major failing of the second amendment and another argument for it being scrapped.

The cnut hates it so much when women stand up to him.
Paula Reid is from CBS News and apparently they have been sending their toughest female journalists to really press him. It's a brilliant move by them as not only does he absolutely hate being confronted by women, he also does not know how to deal with them in front of a camera because he cannot deal with as he does off camera.

He played a campaign ad?

That is illegal isn’t it?
No mate, it was an essential public information film compiled by White House staff. It was tailored to set the record and the public straight and pierce the bubble of lies and distortions emanating from a hopelessly biased mainstream media.

Ah of course, an easy mistake to make!

I can wait till they feck with Trump and have one of these daily briefings all filled with women journos. Lets see who's pussy gets grabbed then.

I won't hold my breath but I'm really hoping that if Dems take all three branches this November, they subpoena him to testify in public in front of the house and senate and AOC gets the chance to crucify him.

It would be absolutely glorious. There's about as much chance of it happening as me winning the lottery on the same day I get my first England cap but if the Democrats somehow rode a blue wave into all three branches, watching the likes of Trump, Jr, Ivanka, Kushner, Mnuchin, Barr and Nunes have to testify under subpoena and with access to every single document they require would be pure porn.

Why are the other reporters going along with it!?!?! The next reporter, unless they were from OAN, would surely be right to say that they concede their question so he can actually give an answer to the prior...

I am sure that they are planning a death by a thousand cuts for the cnut.

That did happen in the briefing somewhat, at least afterwards when he claimed his power is "absolute" he then tried moving on but only to be pressed by another reporter by what he meant by that.

He'd rather go straight to prison than go through that.

If you'd played that clip from yesterday to me 5 years ago, I would only have believed it was from a film. Or that it was the last time a President spoke in their official capacity, obviously having to step down that evening.

The bar hasn't so much been lowered as buried 6 feet underground.

Yep. A milkshake would result in at least 24 hours of severe unpleasantness due to my lactose intolerance.

Out of curiosity, I wanted to go see how r/the_Donald was taking this. It looks like the community has been removed (?). Is there any other right wing forum that I can view to see how they’re taking this stuff?

Honestly, I wouldn't want to venture there.. the mental gymnastics Trump supporters pull out of their ass. It honestly doesn't matter what he does, he could literally chant 'death to Americans' and his supporters would still gobble it up. It's a **** :/

Shame on anyone not voting for Biden because he’s not Sanders or anyone else. This madman must be stopped now, imagine four more years? fecking hell.
He won't be stopped and he will win easily. Sad but true. The current events have only strengthened him enormously - all the coverage he is getting now compared to Biden who can't get a look in and who's election campaign will not really get off the ground due to COVID stopping rallys and more importantly funding events.

I had him down as winning before this pandemic, but now I think he's going to struggle. He's being a total clown and doing it while people watch their friends and families dying. That's not going to help him any.

I hope you are right but honestly I think Biden can't possibly get enough traction to mount a campaign that has a hope of stopping Trump and will be hindered by COVID enormously.

Aren't his approval ratings higher since the pandemic?

The team behind him really is genius, and you have to say he himself on how he handles the media.

He knows he'd only done one good thing in the lead up to the crisis, which was ban travel to and from China at the same time as other major countries, and he continues to milk that point to everyone so people forget the absolute shite he had done other than that, including calling the disease a hoax multiple times.

Doesn't help that Biden has acted like a clown and is an easy target for Trump. I think Trump is winning this more comfortably than in 2016.

Watch him declare war on those 'breakaway' states. America is eating itself.
A fitting statement considering our obesity rates.

Thought they've been merely quarantined but great news otherwise if true. There's always /pol/ on 4chan. I hope you don't mind the liberal use of the n-word because there will be a bountiful amount.

Just avoid /b/ and /y/ and it'll be fine.

I don't think that's a strategical master class. His communication on these issues is quite transparent and desperate. I think its effectiveness is more down to how the media and opposition deal with it, as well as the US electorate itself. I mean even the supposed "good" guys came up with perhaps the only major politician who is more senile than Trump himself to challenge him.

Anecdotal, I know, but I have an uncle living near Boston and he posts stuff on social media thanking god it's Trump leading the nation during this pandemic and not a democrat. The people who are part of the **** won't change their minds because of this, no matter how many people die, they'll just convince themselves that with a democrat it would've been worse.

His base is predominantly older white dudes. Its like impossible to make an old white dude in America admit he's wrong about anything.
