Watched WH press briefing until I couldn't stand it anymore. What on earth motivates people to spew this stuff? She is a whip smart Harvard educated lawyer; I know she knows she is speaking nonsence. How does she sleep at night? The idiot in chief I expect craziness from - but the rest of the enablers/explainers/apologists - leave me dumbfounded. The repubs up for election, I guess they are sticking with him to the bitter end. Others (I'm thinking of the unelected) are true believers and are OK with getting their agenda implemented - I'm thinking banning abortion, restricting gay rights, throwing out immigrants, etc. And some are just doing it for the money and to be on the national stage. That's all I can come up with. Oooh, or maybe they are demons from hell.

Or, deranged, hateful, psychopaths.
Their hate seems to fuel even more hate. They are an out of control angry crowd of thugs. They wrap themselves in the flag and thump the bible.
They have turned both into weapons. They have no desire to be united. Many in the South still fly another flag instead of Old Glory. Despicable display. As unpatriotic as burning Old Glory.
The bible is another weapon they use to divide instead of unite. I consider that blasphemy. But that's another story.
Hypocrites. A brood of vipers. IMHO.

They wrap themselves in the flag and thump the bible. In the fall of 1964 I was a freshman in college and the teacher in my English 101 class was talking about these type of people (I guess we just called them conservatives then I don't think it had gotten to "right wing" yet). Anyway he mentioned "their" magazines would always have a flag and/or a cross on the cover. My college was in a conservative county and I was also taking Political Science 101 and it was when Johnson and Goldwater were running for president. Well in the class I think the teacher and me were the only democrats and I thought Goldwater was going to when by a landslide when I went to bed on election day. I was so surprised the next morning when I found out Johnson won. I had Poly Sci that morning and one of the older male students was very upset about the Goldwater loss. I still remember he wore sunglasses to class.

DT just had a short press conference and said the same stuff his press secretary said, only more incoherently.

Go to the 40:00 mark , all before that is just more self congratulating. This is, too, but it's also the "I did this" "I did that" "obama bad" but "Biden and Obama stopped testing" - what is he even talking about?
And NO.. "when you test you create cases" NO NO NO -the cases are there you dumbass. Testing doesn't create cases, they're already there! OMG it's like he's trying to say testing causes covid.

I posted this on the COVID area of the site, but as of today, CA is back in full lock down mode thanks to all the Covidiots who live here and who showed up for July 4th yahooing. Stupid morons. I feel badly for little businesses like my hair stylist, who's trying to get people back up to speed and after 6 good weeks has to shut down again because of these assholes.

surfgirl , You haven't gotten your haircuts yet, have you? Guess it will be a while longer. We got the first ones the beginning of June because our epidemiology friends said to go then, because this would happen as the opening progressed. We cancelled our second appointments that were last week because of rising rates.

Come back when you have something to say or shut up, please.

My county in Cali (Santa Cruz) is not on the watch list (yet) so salons are still open. I haven't gone yet because I don't feel the need outweighs the risk. But we will probably go on the list in a couple of weeks if our infection rates continue as they are.
We are covered by the statewide mandate of closing all indoor stuff.

los angeles is the worst county in the whole state. we're definitely on the full shutdown of salons and such. and we have 10 days to decide if we're sending the kids back to school in august on a part time schedule. although i previously said i'd send them back, i'm now heavily rethinking it. i'm leaning more towards resuming in person school when they have a vaccine. many teachers i know are not happy about being forced to go back, although with our district offering two options (full distance and part time distance) from what i have heard, they will allow the teachers who aren't comfortable going back to opt for the full distance learning.
