Will this be an all-hands-on-deck press conference? Updates or new actions?

“Will this be an all-hands-on-deck press conference? “
—
When did news conferences get so out of hand, with reporters all standing yelling stuff all at the same time. I seem to recall when they would be seated, rise to ask their question only when called on and sit back down when finished? Has it been since JFK or ? I can’t remember.

Thanx. should be pinned to the sidebar.

“Will this be an all-hands-on-deck press conference? Updates or new actions”?

It will take the wind out of the Democrat sails saying he is inept in dealing with this. But the Rat bastards will continue to attack him.

I thought he made Pence the CV Czar?

[Dogbert41]

Bloomberg, piling on, lied about Trump calling the outbreak “fake news”. I called Bloomberg’s tweet a lie and immediately had my account suspened.

[Leep]

I’m not going to comment on either thread so there.
Ooops.

[Reno89519]

I really dislike the title Czar. These are not dictators.

[laplata]

It figures. They make up lies and distortions as they speak. The other day Steyer lied and made stuff up constantly.

I called Bloomberg’s tweet a lie

Know the feeling. Couple weeks ago, I said something about Mini Mike and Biden. Suspended me for a flipping week.

Of course I appealed it but lost and would not let me get back on until I pulled my appeal. Guess they do not want a "paper" trail.

[Reno89519]

So Trump speaks in minutes, then CDC in 1-1/2 hours. Will CDC undermine the president? Bet media will parse every word between the two and his earlier comments and those at CPAC this afternoon to say he is lying, covering up, etc.

[Reno89519]

Here we go, cameras on.

Thank u for the info!

Caliph Baraq used the czar term a lot.
Not sure why he didn’t use potentate.
