The plan is to have no plan
The plan is to have no plan, to let daily deaths between one and three thousand become a normal thing, and then to create massive confusion about who is responsible— by telling the governors they’re in charge without doing what only the federal government can do, by fighting with the press when it shows up to be briefed, by fixing blame for the virus on China or some other foreign element, and by “flooding the zone with ****,” Steve Bannon’s phrase for overwhelming the system with disinformation, distraction, and denial, which boosts what economists call “search costs” for reliable intelligence.

They should have just put a MAGA hat on Lincoln’s head

Most Events in the Lincoln Memorial Are Banned. Trump Got an Exception.
Citing the “extraordinary crisis” of the coronavirus, the interior secretary relaxed the rules so the president could hold a Fox News interview in one of the nation’s most hallowed spaces.
So on Sunday, when the president sat down with two Fox News anchors at Lincoln’s marbled feet during a coronavirus-focused virtual “town hall,” it was because a directive issued by David Bernhardt, the secretary of the interior, had allowed them to do so.
Mr. Bernhardt, a former oil lobbyist whose Senate nomination was contested by Democrats who pointed to multiple accusations of conflicts of interest and ethical violations, ordered the memorial temporarily closed for the event, citing the coronavirus.

That Lincoln Project 'Mourning in America' ad got under Donnie's skin so badly he unloaded his toddler-insult-twitter-gun on the folk involved.
He called Bill Kristol - who isn't involved with the project - a loser; George Conway a "deranged loser" and "Moonface" and Rick Wilson, who wrote the ad, "crazed".
Here's an obviously heartbroken and devastated Rick Wilson on Lawrence's show last night:
Here's his new Twitter bio:

His twitter response:
From now to November, the Lincoln Project is going to, and I'm paraphrasing Wilson from a CNN appearance here, gut him like a fish.

The Orange Snollygoster's stage show backfired
www.theguardian.com
Having Donald Trump conduct a TV interview in the Lincoln Memorial must have seemed like a good idea at the time
One of the most obvious problems with parking yourself in a chair next to a colossal statue of Abraham Lincoln is that you look so very small.
Not one of the political and communications brains behind Donald Trump bothered to point this out when they dreamt up the dingbat notion of a live TV interview inside the hallowed Lincoln Memorial.
Nobody thought it was anything other than genius to compare the two presidents. One of them saved the Union and created the model for the muscular federal government we know today; the other got impeached for corrupting that government for his personal profit.
One gave his life to unite the country and free it from slavery. The other wants tens of thousands of Americans to give up their lives to free the country from lockdown.
One was known as Honest Abe. The other lied about paying off porn stars with hush money. You can see how they confused the two.

What the hell is with Biden and using the word "intercourse"? Why not just avoid the innuendo and just use "relations"?

A website by an independent film-maker tracks lives allegedly lost during the Covid-19 pandemic by the president’s own inept actions
Donald Trump has been accused of personally causing the deaths of 40,000 Americans through his “reckless” handling of the Covid-19 pandemic, in a new website launched on Wednesday under the provocative title Trump Death Clock.
The website, created by independent film-maker Eugene Jarecki, is a conscious echo of the National Debt Clock which since 1989 has given a running score near Times Square in Manhattan of total US borrowing. The Trump Death Clock extends the idea dramatically by providing a tracker measured not in dollars but in lives allegedly lost by the president’s own inept actions.
“I am seeking accountability for reckless leadership,” Jarecki told the Guardian. “We have meticulously isolated just that portion of the US death toll where one can see a specific line between the president’s decisions and actions and the loss of life.”

Found the Orangutanman's weak spot, .......no its not bananas, or prostitutes .
www.huffpost.com
Rick Wilson of The Lincoln Project said Trump lost “his damn mind” over the group’s latest ad.
President Donald Trump flipped out over the latest ad by a group of his conservative critics. And they’re just thrilled about it.
“We have known all along what a weak man Donald Trump is, how mentally infirm he is, how easily he can be set off,” longtime Republican strategist Rick Wilson, a co-founder of the Lincoln Project, told Lawrence O’Donnell on Tuesday.
Wilson said the organization found the president’s “weak spot” in the ad, which takes a concept from an old campaign ad used by former President Ronald Reagan and turns it around on Trump.
Reagan’s 1984 reelection ad was called “Morning in America,” and claimed that he had made the nation “prouder and stronger and better.” The Lincoln Project’s anti-Trump ad is titled “Mourning in America” and focuses on the loss of lives due to the novel coronavirus. The spot also blames Trump for creating a “weaker and sicker and poorer” nation.
Trump attacked the group in a series of tweets Monday evening and Tuesday afternoon, and then again when speaking to reporters.
“He demonstrated for 12 straight hours in a row that he could be compared to Ronald Reagan, had the truth told about it and he would absolutely lose his damn mind,” Wilson said.
“We expected this ad to hit,” he added. “We did not expect him to behave in the completely maniacally way he behaved all day today, but here we are.”

And another flip-flop by the Orange Snollygoster
Trump says taskforce to continue 'indefinitely' after backlash – live
Trump has just announced over Twitter that the White House coronavirus task force will “continue on indefinitely,” despite the vice president’s comments yesterday that it would start to wind down in the coming weeks.
In a tweet thread this morning, the president said the task force had done a “fantastic job” addressing the coronavirus crisis.
“Because of this success, the Task Force will continue on indefinitely with its focus on SAFETY & OPENING UP OUR COUNTRY AGAIN,” Trump wrote.
“We may add or subtract people ... to it, as appropriate. The Task Force will also be very focused on Vaccines & Therapeutics.”

There goes the entire argument that you were trying to make that these are dangerous crazies. So you think them not engaging in a gun fight and generally being law abiding Citizens is a bad thing?

So you would rather have a shoot out between police and protesters? Spilled blood? Is that what you are saying.
The protesters done the wise thing, yet you think it is funny somehow....
