I wonder if they'll make him orange in his official white house portrait.

I really like the guy's music, but he's such an intolerable ######. I'm honestly not sure whose ego is bigger between his and Trump's. So damned unlikable.
Good riddance.
He fell off in 2010 after Twisted Fantasy which is an absolute work of art.

He needs help. He thinks he's a crazy genius but hes just crazy

Nixon did not sit for his portrait until 1981.

Sorry if posted, but this is a good interview with Dr. Fauci.

https://www.theatlantic.com/politics...c-oppo/614224/

I am surprised that he hasn't just walked away yet. I expect to see something similar to the Half Baked quitting scene when he does.

Local health authorities in our area are blanketing Facebook and local media today about needing to wear masks, the reasons for doing so, hospitalizations going up etc. Can’t help but think it’s a response to the data change.

This is something that has almost universally pissed off the medical community so if their is funny business that goes on I expect a whistleblower to quickly come out if there is funny business.

Mississippi governor had a series of tweets discrediting the “just get to herd immunity” people on Monday. He’s still annoyingly a Trumper but his analysis was good and communicated well. Essentially said that their worst day for COVID was about 1000 cases and the hospitals are full. For herd immunity they’d need to triple the worst day every day for a year. And actually that was with an assumption of needing 40% of the population infected...when he knows you actually need 70% or more.

The Quinnipiac poll just out might be the most devastating for Trump yet. Besides being down 15%, Biden being above 50%, and Trump under 40%, Trump is also underwater on his handling of the economy for the first time.

This is something that put has almost universally pissed off the medical community so if their is funny business that goes on I expect a whistleblower to come out very quickly. Or hope so anyways.
Ah, but is that all Facebook feeds, or only those that would actually listen to local health authorities, and who are less likely to be part of the problem because of it?

On local news tv as well.

Now that doesn’t change the fact that those that aren’t listening still aren’t going to listen because “freedom”, but it’s interesting timing.

If I was Fauci I’d say f it, I’m out. He’s in his late 70s, I think, and doesn’t need the stress, the grief, and the disrespect.

Probably what keeps him there is the chance to save his country. I guess he’s a better man than me.

Parscale is out as Trump's campaign manager.

After the Tulsa disaster I thought it would have been only a day or two, so gotta give him credit for hanging in there so long.

And he's not even fired, he's just demoted/reassigned/whatever.

Always said Trump wielded one sword and that was the economy. If COVID never happened the chances of Trump being in Biden's shoes are pretty high.

That isn’t an excuse or defense. Rather An indictment that people put up with him because he made their lives economically better. Now that carrot is gone, Tump is in free fall.

Faint hope clause for Trump is something miraculous will happen with the economy but the more he pushes for reopening the worse things get.

Looks like this is it for him.

He'll probably get it painted by that weirdo who makes those paintings that make Trump look like some sort of mix of John Wayne and Rambo.


Funny, I typed "creepy Trump paintings" into Google and the guy's site was the first result...

Demote the campaign manager.

The real problem with Trump’s campaign is Trump.
