Mike Pence's motorcade has had two crashes in one unfortunate day

Wow, I hadn't heard that! Thanks for the update, Miss Didi.

[Miss Didi]

What are the chances of two in one day—bizarre!

[nutmeg]

Yes... very strange!

[Maudeen]

Thanks for the heads-up. Please keep praying for our President and Vice-President.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Please keep praying for our President and Vice-President.

I will certainly do so. I have lately become a big fan of Doug Mastriano, a state senator here in PA who is pushing back against Tom Wolf and his COVID dictatorship. He's a retired US Army Colonel and devout Christian. He gives nightly online updates on what his happening and always includes a prayer. He always reminds us that the Bible says to pray for those in authority. Even bad people in authority like Gov. Wolf.

I get so angry at people like Wolf I really do need the reminder.

He will gain nothing from this. Notice his poll numbers have gone down since he re started these things. They went up when he stayed above the fray. 98 days to the election, he needs to stay laser focused on that buffoon Joe Biden.

BTW, it was a smart move not to go to that dog and pony show funeral today

[Buckeye McFrog]

Video just went live

[Buckeye McFrog]

POTUS is up. Condolences for Herman Cain.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Don’t blame me or Fauci, new cases exploding all over the world. Oh boy.

[Buckeye McFrog]

You’re right. This is not going to help his poll numbers. Setting up a string of excuses for this nightmare to go on.

[Buckeye McFrog]

1/2 of deaths from less than 1% of the population.
Well that’s important to say.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I don’t know who this is supposed to appeal to but it’s sure not his base.

[bramps]

Imagine a war breaks out with another country. Wouldn’t you like to see a general out every day giving press conferences on exactly what is happening? So, at least to me, it is disturbing that Trump has not found one competent, well spoken doctor with conservative leanings to brief us instead of him.

I think he sounds dreadfully monotone and uninspiring and is not winning over anyone who already wasn’t voting for him by personally doing every minute of these press conferences.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I think he’s learned not to trust doctors at the microphone. Generally they suck at messaging, and they seem to enjoy the spotlight way too much.

He definitely needs better doctors than the ones he’s got.

[Miss Didi]

I think it’s to keep drilling in the facts—we already know them so it’s frustrating. Wish there was an announcement of an EO on HCQ...maybe soon!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Ugh, NO! Forcing everyone into masks does NOT make us more independent or self-reliant!

[DivineMomentsOfTruth]

Teleprompters would be better than looking down reading. The first press conferences were lively.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Making a lot of sense on ballots now

[hawkaw]

You would think someone who does big business deals would be able to sell the administration’s policy on this crisis in a fairly easy way that is not uninspiring and not monotone. I don’t get why he has problems at these briefings or doing address the nation speeches from the Whitehouse.

[truthkeeper]

I don’t watch these things anymore and don’t plan to until he disembarks 100% from the Covid train.
