Live Stream from the press briefing scheduled to start at 11:30 a.m. EDT

[Buckeye McFrog]

Schmucky can grab a microphone and claim anything he likes.
Trump has the facts, and the CDC people are backing him up on those.

[SoCal Pubbie]

My next shift starts at 6:00 AM tomorrow. Not in the boonies.

Chuck Tumor

Seeing as how he is apparently doing some Chinese PR work, I may be calling him "Chink" Schumer.

[chris37]

Hah! I like it.

[caww]

Yes I listened to Schumer for awhile...he's obviously out of step with reality. Compplaining about the administrations response to the virus back to back....I was waiting for him to come up for air! He didn't so I turned it off.

Schmickie also called for President Trump to invoke the 1950 Defense Production Act ....basically a federal takeover of the economy.....which seems excessive because President Trump has industry leaders working with him.

From Wikipedia:

The Act contains three major sections.

The first authorizes the President to require businesses to sign contracts or fulfill orders deemed necessary for national defense.

The second authorizes the President to establish mechanisms (such as regulations, orders or agencies) to allocate materials, services and facilities to promote national defense.

The third section authorizes the President to control the civilian economy so that scarce and/or critical materials necessary to the national defense effort are available for defense needs.

The Act also authorizes the President to requisition property, force industry to expand production and the supply of basic resources, impose wage and price controls, settle labor disputes, control consumer and real estate credit, establish contractual priorities, and allocate raw materials towards national defense.

Why are most all government meetings, announcements, etc ALWAYS late????

If we citizens are late for something, they either cancel or go on to something else...

[CedarDave]

Nothing yet at 11:55. Two minute warning been given yet?

[caww]

Actually Shulmer’s just admitted the Obama administration failed to learn or change anything after the hi virus etc. Trump’s been left to handle a broken system based on Obama’s leftovers.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I’m starting to think Trump deliberately stalls until the start of the Limbaugh show to get the audience numbers up.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Trump’s been left to handle a broken system based on Obama’s leftovers.

Which Dr. Fauci has basically admitted. If Schmucky wants to throw stones he's on real shaky grounds with the H1N1 numbers under Obama.

[caww]

Because they have to make sure all the media and significant people are ready and present.

[BenLurkin]

Fox still has governor Goomo on

[John W]

Bernie has suspended lead insurmountable FYI.

[CedarDave]

Rush has a guest host again today and tomorrow, and should be back on Friday. Mark Steyn hosted the past two days.

[9YearLurker]

Going back to Obama’s Swine Flu time is not a winning hand. And Faux is a world-class swamp creature.

[usconservative]

Actually Shulmer’s just admitted the Obama administration failed to learn or change anything after the hi virus etc.

I hope there's a video clip of that .... I have a "friend" who's ass I'd like to shove it up for all his Trump bashing.

[caww]

That’s exactly right..Obama never fixed what needed fixing after H1N1....

[John W]

Hold the phone. Probably another fake news report.
