I'm watching the live feed from NBC on YT.  They added the DJI ticker on the screen.  :X   :X   :X

I gotta log off for a while. We are living in hell.

Won't cure covid-19 but waiving interest, for the moment at least, on federal student loans is good news for many.

 

[CurlyNight]

So does it mean the admin now cares about preexisting conditions? 

 

[skol asylum]

@cap'n grunge warm and fuzzy now, eh?

 

I just turned it on. Miss anything new? Market seems to temporarily like it.

only as long as it talks up the Dow

Fox and CNN have that as well.

Don't deviate from the words on the paper. Read the script. You are almost there.

 

[skol asylum]

It will wash through, flow through.

Like blood in the streets?

 

[ericttspikes]

Would like to hear some ideas for targeted relief to small businesses. Not necessarily writing checks, but access to short term low to no interest loans would be really helpful IMO.

Q&A....oh noes

 

[krista4]

One of my Chicago friends has tested positive.  Apparently contracted it while touring with his band in Italy.  Flew two flights from there back to Chicago before knowing he had it.   :(  

 

[shader]

Stop bragging about anything right now!

It's unbelievable

 

[Courtjester]

I didn’t get what Walmart is going to do—something about opening up their parking lots for what? Testing? Sidewalk sales? 

 

[bostonfred]

Am I the only one who realized he did this charade just to pump the Dow? I feel like I’m going mad. 

This has not been informative in any way. Pence reminded us that old people used to read to us so please don't kill them. 

 

[skol asylum]

Did he mentioned anything about the TP shortages? Are they going to release some from the strategic reserves.

 

[skol asylum]

I don't take responsibility at all.

Shocking.

Testing areas.

Fauci giving Trump political cover.

 

[jamny]

Went to the liquor store to get a case of wine, poked my head in to the local supermarket.  <----- me as I turned around and walked out.

I haven't seen a hype man like Pence since Murray talking up Carvelli on Welcome Back Kotter

oof Swine Flu....ouch

Mentioned more info to come soon.

"No one on my staff is showing any symptoms"

so the opposite of that

 

[CurlyNight]

Pence and that chic are like the bobblehead dolls agreeing with trump. 

 

[CurlyNight]

so the opposite of that

Not to mention you can pass it while asymptomatic.

 

[Doug B]

and every person up there has touched that microphone.

(... Rudi Gobert enters stage left ...)

Testing areas.

Wow, that’s not cool at all. So you go to get your food but you have to dodge all the sick people waiting for tests in the parking lot?

Aren’t there plenty of vacant Sears, Toys r Us and Kmarts they could use? 

 

[Dan Lambskin]

Yes but they didn’t have anybody to get up there and gladhand

Me neither 

 

[-fish-]

Most Trump statement ever.  Gotta admire his consistency and self-confidence 

 

[msommer]

So you go to get your food

Nah, that's all been sold (even the fruit loops)

 

[NotSmart]

What sucks is I got all the food we could possibly need to ride this out weeks ago, but it never fails I get a craving for something I didn’t buy. 

I just am dying for a bowl of Fruit Loops. Is it worth wading into the masses of people for? I am going back and forth on it 

Amazon!

 

[shader]

Well I guess if this joke of a press conference keeps my company from laying off for another week and gives people some positivity for the weekend, I guess that’s a good thing. 
 

The issue is these guys don’t have any idea what’s coming their way.

 

[-fish-]

Instacart, people.  

 

[El Floppo]

Nah, that's all been sold (even the fruit loops)

Especially those delicious rainbow colored bits of Mana.

The sirens in the background help soothe the country's anxiety.

 

[skol asylum]

We've ordered a large number of respirators.

Sorry chief, Amazon is out.

 

[Redwes25]

Ok speech and showing combined efforts were pretty good.  Much better than his awful speech the other night.  Felt like at least taking this seriously now.  QofA and shaking everyone's hands not so much.  

 

[Cowboysfan8]

. The issue is these guys don’t have any idea what’s coming their way.

No offense but....really???? Lol

 

[Courtjester]

Amazon!

Yep I just checked I can get a pack of 12 delivered within two hours for like $15.00. 

My wife and I were joking that my family has  put a big bullseye on ourselves with all the food delivery trucks we have had coming. The neighbors have to be going, “ Well, we know who we are going to rob first.” 

 

[msommer]

Especially those delicious rainbow colored bits of Mana.

Are you sure it's  not Nana?

 

[Cowboysfan8]

These reporters are passing a microphone ...

"It wasn't me"

The buck stops somewhere else

This. He is completely incapable of taking responsibility for anything.

 

[Ksquared]

Guys drop the partisan crap.  I am sure it did not matter what or how Trump said it, you would bash it.  I think the important thing is the message is starting to sound like it is being taken seriously and that is a major step in the right direction.

 

[bostonfred]

Most Trump statement ever.  Gotta admire his consistency and self-confidence 

It was, until he was just asked about being in a picture with someone who tested positive for Coronavirus and he said he didn't even know them.
