I just flashed an image of Anthony Hopkins berating Mel Gibson: "Mister Christian, learn your place, sir!"

There's a lively debate on twitter about the origins of the virus. Several virologists, from Columbia, North Carolina, et al., chiming in:

Didn't the Trumpies try this out a couple of months ago and it got shot down pretty quickly?

Movies, books, doesn't matter. He's full of shit. Always has been and always will be.

plus ça change

Didn't the mutineers basically take Bligh, put him in a little boat and set him off to fend for himself? Then they went on to live happily after they shoved him off?

Legend says that Fletcher Christian and the remaining crew went to live on Pitcairn Island, where the natives killed most of the men. Christian was supposedly spared because he had a child with the chief's daughter and there are still descendants of his on the island today.

Bligh and those who went with him survived, and he was restored to his captaincy, I believe.

I don't know that anyone lived happily ever after that chapter of life.

Cuomo uses Alexander Hamilton to call out Trump’s claim of ‘total’ authority



In pushing back at President Trump’s statement that he has the “ultimate authority” over the states, New York Gov. Andrew M. Cuomo on Tuesday cited Broadway star Alexander Hamilton.
Cuomo (D) displayed a quote from Hamilton, who was also one of the country’s Founding Fathers, during his daily news briefing, arguing that Trump had it all wrong when it came to the sovereignty of states...

Today's briefing is from the Rose Garden.
Significance? Allegedly/supposedly the ability to cut off reporters mikes - in a split second.

The guy simply can't admit he's wrong - when he's wrong.
He just lost his shit. Shocker - right?
He can't answer a direct question about praising China in January because he can't admit he fucked up.
It's astonishing how dumb a well educated man can be.
I would love to be a reporter at the White House because I honestly feel I could do a better job than half of them.
Give him the specific date and the specific Tweet when you call him out! Tell him these were your exact words!

Scum bag.

The Democratic National Committee’s response to the president’s announcement that he’s halting funding to the World Health Organization is, unsurprisingly, disparaging.

“In the middle of a global pandemic, Trump wants to stop funding the preeminent organization in charge of combating global pandemics,” DNC Deputy War Room Director Daniel Wessel said in a statement. “Trump is willing to put global health further at risk to try to deflect blame from his own failures.”

"Had the WHO done its job to get medical experts into China to objectively assess the situation on the ground and to call out China's lack of transparency, the outbreak could have been contained at its source with very little death."

During the Presser Trump was mentioning the names of the Owners and Commissioners he wants to speak with. I didn't catch him call anyone "GREAT" other than Vince McMahon and Dana White.







Think he shaved his balls later?

Good for him. The WHO is culpable for almost as much of this mess as China.

Good for him? Sure. Makes him feel good to be the King. Despite being a hypocrite with some egg on his face?
Care to tell me how cutting funding is going to work? I honestly don't know. I would assume congress would have a say in it. Yes? No?
Good for the rest of the world and our relations with other countries? Again, I honestly don't know but my guess is probably not.
I figure most people feel WHO has done a poor job but it seems he's punishing a lot more than just WHO by doing this. Yes? No?
