First he makes Fauci open with a mea culpa for a statement he made on CNN yesterday. Total BS.
Then he plays a propaganda video with FAUX news touting what a great job trump is doing.
Then he goes on his usual attacks against reporters.
I can't believe this shit!!!! I am truly embarrassed!

His pressers have become more and more campaign speeches. The video supporting his lies instead of updating us on facts was the lowest I've seen him go yet. He needs to be gone. His continued stating that he has ultimate power as president to tell the governors to open their states should scare all citizens. He's getting more angry and defiant when asked questions he doesn't like or presented with truth.

At first I thought Fauci had gone over to the Dark Side. After thinking about it, I think he's of the opinion that he can do more good inside what we laughingly call the "administration" than outside. After he spoke I turned it off. Then my brother called me with a play-by-play because he was still watching it. On Faux because he wanted to hear how they'd spin it. Deliver me.

I have said more than once Fauci is walking a very fine line in what he is doing. At this point, I suspect his frustration is getting the better of him. He has lasted longer than many.

Yes, he has, and that's a heckuva a surprise. It could be that trump is afraid to unload him for fear of backlash.
Really have to wonder about all the career civil servants/appointees who served faithfully for 20/30/40 years and worked under both Repubs and Dems but were suddenly declared traitors and members of the Deep State. Notice that they were replaced by nobodies with no credentials, education, expertise. Nothing to recommend them except that they were trump fans. Even many of those have been declared suspect and fired.
What a shitshow.

My BS meter went off when the internet told me a live broadcast was going on, so I DIDN'T watch it. Apparently, that was the correct choice.

I turned it on and saw Dr Fauci having to kiss up. Then a bit of the persons talk, turned it off, all I can stomach. Perhaps he only has a short time to retirement or something, he may not want to lose all he has worked for. I cannot believe the poor man is not terribly frustrated. If he leaves who will be medical director next, Ivanka, or jared?
I read a whole article last night about how we have lost our esteemed place in the world in everything. All science, all honesty, all experience. We are now known for being crude, vulgar, have no respect for anyone or anything, no ideals. Worse yet, they think we are undercutting and buying supplies out from under them. And that we are letting the world down by attacking all the institutions in place to help countries all over the world. We are now a sad representative of him.
I know countries realize we tried to impeach him, but at what point do they stop wondering if everyone here approves of him. I pray not.
I really think he is mentally ill, before thought dementia. I wish they could get all the cabinet together and article 25 him. They are not sure how congress is going to function with no spacing or anything. The last thing we need is to lose Pelosi or any dems, we lose the house we are done as a country. We are hanging on by a thread now, basically 2 old ladies, Pelosi and Ginsburg.

I think Fauci is on the "I got nothing to lose" bus. He is like 80 or something. He seems like a YM-style responsible money manager. So. Trump fires him. So what? He can go home and drink Old Fashions and laugh his ass off at the next poor sucker who has to put up with Trump.

I am just so sick of this. As hubs said Pelosi should have done more. Try to work with that guy no! He must be laughing all the way to the bank, now he has $2 trillion he can take and buy off anyone and anything and use as his own piggy bank.
What is wrong with us, daily he takes more and more power. We will never get rid of him. putin chose well. What will it take for his disciples to rise up? Need to find that trigger, that is what it will take to get rid of him.
Stop giving him anything, flat nothing. Not many left in the judiciary to fight him with. Taking over so far without a shot.

countrygirl2 You sound about as close to the edge as I am! My favorite part of his meltdown today--wait, I had lots of "favorite" parts--was when he said he has the "ultimate authority as president." Ultimate. Authority. IOW, "I get to be dictator, neener neener neener."

Eh, more of the same.
I’m keeping the bar that if he doesn’t get us in a nuclear war it will be on the better side of my worst fears of this man in that role.

Roughly starts at the 53 minute mark in the video. You have to watch the first 30 min of the presser tho I just clicked on the timer curser until the presser actually starts. That's how I found in began around the 53 minute mark. Just move it forward.

miss rigby, what I am is angry, disillusioned, upset that some of our fellow Americans are so, so what? Gullible, dumb, crazy, I'm not sure what I really feel.
I even see people now that think he will bankrupt the postal service so we can't vote by mail. I'm even starting to see some logic in that.
Right now I don't think the military would side with him. But that guy has $2 trillion dollars that noone seems to have any control over, but him. He could buy a lot of colonels and generals for that. Not all of them would be good guys, the majority, yes. But countries have rebellions all over the world. Is it unusual, yes, but most will follow their commander in chief, they would be so conflicted. No they do not have to follow an illegal order but how quickly would they determine that?
And I'm betting putin would come to his aid quickly. Think I'm paranoid, maybe but I've always had a good nose for things. I know nothing about this guy and what he is doing is right. I think this virus just conveniently accelerated things.
Do I think he would do it, yes, I certainly do. He has people in place all over that are "absolutely" no good. Not one bit good for this country. So what is his ultimate goal? He is destroying daily everything we stand for and there is nothing 1 little person like me can do about it. And I am starting to get concerned. I wish his followers would start to get concerned, they don't seem to see beyond the ranting and raving and the divisions he is creating. I am very concerned, we should all be concerned.

Now guys! Give the poor guy a break! He can’t go around the county doing his fabulous rallies - he has to have some way to sop up some adulation. And this is saving his campaign so much money - win/win!
By the way, MSN and CNN both stopped broadcasting the shit show once the propaganda video started, saying this had now become a rally. Expect floods of whiny texts tomorrow.

I feel bad for his staff not getting paid, but he probably paid them shit anyway. I was watching CNN when they cut out in absolute shock at that friggin video clip.

I think he's close to losing it. I seriously do. A narcissistic, egocentric personality like his can't handle the scrutiny and spotlight of a pandemic that he can't bully or bluster his way through, and he can't even "recharge" at his rallies.
I just hope there are adults around to hold him down and call the men in the white coats if/when he snaps.

I hope he loses it but not around the red button to fire a missile because he was asked a question about I believe NK doing missile testing. He's crazy and could possibly launch one to take the focus off of him.

He does look more and more frustrated defending his actions, especially today. I too thought it was great when msnbc cut away and explained it was not the news press segment they wanted to air but would return if it got back on track.

Note that he left his rallies out of the vieo and his rants about the virus being a Dem hoax.
