  2. Well "no News" is not the "Good News",
    no TRUMP is the "Good News"!

    Why don't they hold these updates on a matter effecting the Nation's Health at the National Institute Of Health, and free the Man-Child In Chief up for playing golf and attending his Cult's Rallies?

  3. What ever will the fake news reporters do now?

    They will be lost.

    MoRage will have nothing to create lies from.

  7. The information gleaned from a trump briefing, is the say as if he didn't have one.

  8. Haha, Trump had to cancel his psuedo campaign rallies for the sheer stupidity being induced. Who will validate him now? He'll probably be busy sunning his asshole and looking for ways to ingest some household cleaning products. Nevermind, he was just being sarcastic.

    Should see an uptick in rage tweeting around the 4:00 to 6:00 CST hours.

  9. ^^^better check that, Trump is going to brief us today.....again. so, he's brooding and angry about all the bad press he brought on himself and pathologically needed attention so he's insisting on doing another unhinged train wreck today.

  10. Hysterical nonsense?

    Yes that in a nutshell describes anything Byron says. Thanks Byron for pointing out to us just who and what you are.

  11. ^^How come you don't have anybody else you can talk to? Your obession with someone on a blog is unhelathy. You reek of desperation. Go find a life!

  12. Annnnndddd, Trump, again, like a broken record, blaming everyone and everything else. Not sure why we need the guy around?

    Then, it hits the wire that the POTUS was warned this virus was coming over a dozen times in his daily intelligence briefings in January and February. Which prompted him to do nothing but call it hoax, downplay it, and hold rallies. Oh, and institute a travel ban from China that wasn't really a ban because it let over 40,000 people fly in from China, you know, cuz they weren't Chinese. And here we are, on the precipice of another Great Depression. Good thing that lady who had the missing emails and willfully sat through like 30 hours of Congressional hearings because 4 American citizens tragically were killed in Benghazi wasn't elected President.
