I admire those of you who can watch the Captain Covid pressers

and not projectile vomit all over your phone or laptop.

Your reports back here on DU are deeply appreciated. I, alas, can simply neither watch or listen to the creamsickle dickhead.

They were both scheduled at 11:30. Cuomo's is actually interesting. I'll mute the con's and catch the highlights later.

It's not informative. It's full of lies. There is almost no point of watching them.

I rather listen to the governors and mayors.

They should cover it and then provide the important points. And if anyone wants to watch the whole thing let them do it on the internet.

If he comes on my tv or on my car radio, I change the station immediately. I can’t stand anything about him.

5. These days, every time Trump is in front of the camera

at those press events, he sheds supporters like a duck in a rainstorm. Although those also participating are not bright stars of communications, they step up and make Trump look like an ignorant fool. As Trump speaks, you can see their faces expressing their dismay at what he is saying. Their expressions say it all.

Even mediocrity looks like expertise when you compare those people to Trump.

And then maybe Tony Fauci for five or six minutes.

Pointless.

gave up watching/listening, and now the reading thing is getting problematic. I'm trying to mind my head, but the bullshit is deeper than I thought possible.

He says nothing of substance and most is corrected by others later. Do they have to give his this media time every day? It's really not helpful
