Good addition with the red circle, especially since it focuses the eye away from him.
Note Trump says **I** will be having a press conference, not the virus team. Just him.— Brian Cates //Flynn & Breitbart's Army! (@drawandstrike) April 27, 2020
Now you're being a Petey Pupperdont.
Do what I do. Start laughing at them all and do what you want.
They can kill you, but they can't eat you.
Or can they?
(That one never did make sense when my Dad said it. But still, I gotta say it. My Dad.)
I will be having a White House Press Conference today at 5:30 P.M. Thank you!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 27, 2020
Ive had great ratings my whole life, theres nothing unusual about that for me. The White House News Conference ratings are through the roof(Monday Night Football, Bachelor Finale , @nytimes) but I dont care about that. I care about going around the Fake News to the PEOPLE!— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) April 21, 2020
Because the T.V. Ratings for the White House News Conferences are the highest, the Opposition Party (Lamestream Media), the Radical Left, Do Nothing Democrats &, of course, the few remaining RINOS, are doing everything in their power to disparage & end them.

I can’t find this in other than pdf non-copyable form (yet). Hmm, opened in acrobat and it copied but badly. Tried copying to a Word doc and it looked better on my laptop but went weird pasting here. Darn.
Balancing Public Safety with the Preservation of Civil Rights

MEMORANDUM FOR THE ASSISTANT ATTORNEY GENERAL FOR CIVIL RIGHTS AND
ALL UNITED STATES ATTORNEYS
FROM: THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
SUBJECT: Balancing Public Safety with the Preservation of Civil Rights
The current national crisis related to COVID-19 has required the imposition of
extraordinary restrictions on all of our daily lives. Millions of Americans across the nation have
been ordered to stay in their homes, leaving only for essential and necessary reasons, while
countless businesses and other gathering places have been ordered to close their doors indefinitely.
These kinds of restrictions have been necessary in order to stop the spread of a deadly diseasebut
there is no denying that they have imposed tremendous burdens on the daily lives of all
Americans.
In prior Memoranda, I directed our prosecutors to prioritize cases against those seeking to
illicitly profit from the pandemic, either by hoarding scarce medical resources to sell them for
extortionate prices, or by defrauding people who are already in dire circumstances due to the severe
problems the pandemic has caused. We have pursued those efforts vigorously and will continue
to do so. Now, I am directing each of our United States Attorneys to also be on the lookout for
state and local directives that could be violating the constitutional rights and civil liberties of
individual citizens.
As the Department of Justice explained recently in guidance to states and localities taking
steps to battle the pandemic, even in times of emergency, when reasonable and temporary
restrictions are placed on rights, the First Amendment and federal statutory law prohibit
discrimination against religious institutions and religious believers. The legal restrictions on state
and local authority are not limited to discrimination against religious institutions and religious
believers. For example, the Constitution also forbids, in certain circumstances, discrimination
against disfavored speech and undue interference with the national economy. If a state or local
ordinance crosses the line from an appropriate exercise of authority to stop the spread of COVID-
19 into an overbearing infringement ofconstitutional and statutory protections, the Department of
Justice may have an obligation to address that overreach in federal court.
I am therefore directing the Assistant Attorney General for Civil Rights, Eric Dreiband,
and Matthew Schneider; the U.S. Attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan, to oversee and
coordinate our efforts to monitor state and local policies and, if necessary, take action to correct
them. They should work not only with all Department ofJustice offices and other federal agencies,
but with state and local officials as well.
Many policies that would be unthinkable in regular times have become commonplace in
recent weeks, and we do not want to unduly interfere with the important efforts of state and local
officials to protect the public. But the Constitution is not suspended in times of crisis. We must
therefore be vigilant to ensure its protections are preserved, at the same time that the public is
protected.
I thank you for your attention to this important initiative and for your service to our country.
The page ID'd me and said that I would receive a direct deposit on Wednesday and ID'd my bank account also!
I had about given up on the whole matter... tried twice a day for almost two weeks. Yipppeee! I am definitely planning on using the money for 'stimulus' -- not so easy come, easy go. :^D
Can he be dressed like The Gimp in Pulp Fiction?
With a bow tie? I'd like that.
Ah, then Cates’ was wrong. I’m VERY curious to see what Trump says today.
How awful that it took that long. What is wrong with them?
that’s FUNNY!
That’s Doug Schoen in a wig!
Good news, Bob.
