    No actually, I do not, but on youtube if your not paying attention, it just cues up clips as one closes. I was texting daughter as it popped up. I am No fan of Al Sharpton and he was the one interviewing Fauci which caught my attention.

    I think Trump should lock those on the taskforce down. No media appearances by any of them.

    The media leads them down the path they,the media, choose. Then target certain aspects to push their narrative.

    Got questions? Ask them when they are available at the task force briefings.

    He just doesn't seem tough enough for me. After the cacophony of nonsense that any sitting President most endure I just don't see him standing strong. Say what you want about Donny he is no puss. That is what we need right now.

    Actually agreed with a fair bit.

    Americans are up there on obesity, hot pockets (and their ilk) may just contribute

    I prefer online shopping - except when I am halfway through some yard work and the tire on my yard cart springs a leak or I’m building/fixing something and discover that need I need a specific sized bolt, screw, etc to finish. Also shoes - I don’t like buying shoes or boots online because it never fails that they don’t quite fit and I’ve gotta decide whether to keep the ones that don’t fit quite right or send them back and wait for 2 weeks to get a pair that (hopefully) fits better

    What kind of self respecting North Carolinian goes out and hates on some hot pockets. It’s basically microwaveable processed pizza product, what’s not to like. That’s a slippery slope - at first it’s only hot pockets but before you know it you’ll find yourself disparaging things like Tostitos, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, and canned spray cheese.

    Apart from toastitos with Lime, it's all crap. And you better sit down for this...none of it really of nutritional merit.

    Reporter: "You said when someone is president of the United States their authority is total. That is not true. Who told you that?

    Trump: "We're going to write up papers on this-the governors need us one way or the other.."

    Reporter: "Who told you" that?

    Trump: "Enough"

    These press conferences are just comical.

    “I walk in. I hear I'm going to fire him. I'm not firing him."

    Why retweet someone that said fire Fauci?

    "I retweeted somebody. I don't know. They said fire. Doesn't matter..."

    Did you notice that when you retweeted that?

    "I notice everything."

    I think this will fall in line with the Como vs DeBlasio school closing thing.

    Pence stepped in later and his first comment on it was the "National Emergency Declaration". What "special" powers does that give the president?

    I know at a state level, and even a local level, give many more powers to a government official than would otherwise be afforded them. Usually is on a timeline that expires, but some state will automticslly renew in xx day periods until rescinded.

    I'm not a constitutional scholar, but if itnis the case Schumer should not have a say in anything if it is. He prides himself on being the one for Trump to declare a National Emergency when Trump was holding back, just as he did with the Defense Production Act, which mostly was not needed, especially with ventilators.

    I couldn't imagine you could use Martial Law to force people to work, imagine the irony in that when the fear mongering of Martial Law is usually opposite of that.

    I guess CNN and MSNBC both cut away from the briefing during the "dim the lights" video highlighting the timeline vs administration actions and viewpoints downplaying CV-19 early on.

    CNN calling it propoganda :lol:

    CNN protecting their viewers from evil :lol:
