It just galls me to no end that the president is such a selfish, self-centered fuck that he wouldn’t lift a finger to help a fellow human being without first asking if they were going to vote for him. Except when his handlers/advisors are making him do something “presidential”, in which case he always makes it clear that he is doing it unwillingly.

After a couple of days last week where he looked as mortified as he's capable of looking, based on yesterday I think he's found his comfort zone with this. Expect more stand-up and more fighting with reporters this week.

not sure where to put this, but great thread here re: private equity in general and specifically w/r/t current mess and Trump admin
During a 2007 trip to NYC, while taking long walks from one indie bookstore to the next, lugging increasingly heavy bags of pressed vegetable matter, I stumbled on Simon Lovell's HOW TO CHEAT AT EVERYTHING at the St Mark's Bookshop.https://t.co/yYGznIkWwp1/ pic.twitter.com/jOaq4oJUMi— Bernie Beats Trump (@doctorow) April 4, 2020

Read that thread and ordered the book. (I read a lot of books about cons, hoaxes, scams, etc. anyway.)

What, states just think they can BUY things? How cute. Don't they know that the right way to get things is to beg Trump for them in flattering tones?

Yes. That's it. Liberals peruse every utterance of Michelle Obama like Kremlinologists, to find out when it is safe to approve of something GWB said or did. aiui, the official list now includes GWB's opening remarks at the WH Easter Egg Hunt in 2007, but not his Mission Accomplished speech, but that may have changed. I haven't read Michelle's memo this morning.

Dubya started off an anti-Pandemic thing when he was pres after reading a book about the 1918 flu pandemic and being like, "Woah this happens every hundred years we should mobilise to make sure it never happens again". It's some broken-clock-tells-the-time ish but obviously a jaundiced eye will find some way to make it about the Obamas.
