I also misread the tweet but then again I do think Blix is pathetic but your boss shouldn’t call you names. I was wrong , again

[moehoward]

He did. That is clear, I have no idea what that means. Is it her “New Phase” comments on CNN ? I don’t know...

[Jane Long]

LOL...agree.

It is GREAT to see POTUS give the smack down, too.

Tag Team :-)

[McGruff]

He should have a separate press conference on the mail in ballots topic question that he got. His answer was great. What a frickin disaster that would be on the national level.

[Buckeye McFrog]

ahh....so I am NOT the only person on the planet to read that tweet the way I did, allegations on this thread not withstanding.

Thanks for confirming.

And I agree, Trump should either admonish people in private or fire them, not tweet insults.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Keepin’ it classy, eh, three-year noob?

= = =

Agree.

What a perfect lead in, for such a presser.

They teed it up, perfectly, for POTUS.

[Miss Didi]

I thought I saw Karl...but then with masks, who can tell!

[Buckeye McFrog]

Yes he has been great on the mail-in ballot stuff.
As a practical matter I am not sure how much he can do other than file lawsuits as that is under state control. Perhaps since foreign powers could forge them there is some national security angle he can work?

[CedarDave]

At the end he said they are going to court about Nevada’s mail in ballots. Maybe an executive order also.

Two other announcements before a quick ending:
Health care proposal before the end of the month and new immigration proposal shortly after that.

[lodi90]

It’s obvious the Dem game plan is to prevent a result on election night and then bully the GOP into abandoning POTUS during what will be a hysterical period of weeks post election.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Flood the zone and force Sleepy Joe out of his basement, one way or the other.

By Norah O’Donnell

NO: And how long do you see yourself at the NIAID?

A F: I don’t see any termination within the near future because I judge [my career] by my energy and my effectiveness. And right now, with all due modesty, I think I’m pretty effective. I certainly am energetic. And I think everybody thinks I’m doing more than an outstanding job. I have a wife with incredibly good judgment, who will probably give me the signal when it’s time to step down. But I don’t think we’re anywhere near that right now.

NO: And is that role determined by the president and the White House?

A F: No.

NO: You can’t be fired from that role?

A F: No.

[Buckeye McFrog]

As long as Trump has 90+% approval from Republican voters that scenario won’t fly.

Scenarios they have game-planned to throw the election to Pelosi’s House of Representatives are far scarier.

[Buckeye McFrog]

NO: You can’t be fired from that role?
A F: No.

Well, Fauci's been wrong on pretty much everything else, so..

[Miss Didi]

As a practical matter I am not sure how much he can do other than file lawsuits as that is under state control. Perhaps since foreign powers could forge them there is some national security angle he can work?

I think he already has a trick up his sleeve which is why he keeps bringing up the issue. He does still have emergency powers, right...so maybe that's the way to do it.

[Buckeye McFrog]

I like how he baits Twitter into censoring something he posts about mail-in ballot fraud and then follows it up with something so compelling they can’t. Like a news report from a CBS affiliate that 21% of their test ballots went missing.
