It’s nice to know that in these crazy times, there are still some things you can count on.

It would be hilarious if Trump walked out like that in a debate with Biden. I think he might have gotten a taste for taking his ball home. It’s quite a thrill. He’ll really stick it to the libs when he turns his nose up on questions about the pandemic and walks out of the debate hall.
We all know Trump would love to not allow CNN, NBC, etc. at these press conferences. What are the rules about which media outlets are allowed and not allowed? Obviously, there would be sternly-worded letters of concern written if, say, WaPo was stripped of its press credentials. What if Biden becomes President and jettisons OANN, though? OANN is clearly not a real news outlet - could his team just cite a number of reports like the deep state conspiracy thing from the other day and say, “lol no gtfo?”
They can kick anyone out. They don’t kick CNN and other semi-legit outlets out because then they wouldn’t get the free media.

Obama proposed kicking Fox out. He backed down when the networks threatened a boycott.
I’d be ok with FOX staying. The reporter they send there isn’t bad. He usually asks reasonable questions - he’s not typically teeing up a Lou Dobbs poll-type question.
Trump: And what about the corona virus?
Aide: They’re all going down.
Trump: Wonderful. Let me just tweet that out right there, hold on… going down almost everywhere. Big progress!
Aide: No, I meant the West Wing staffers. Everyone’s catching it. They’re all going down.
Gaslighting works. You can literally speak a lie into truth in America now. Even those of us who know it’s bullshit have to accept that it’s widely accepted as fact. If we get into an argument with a Trumper about it, both of us will emerge honestly thinking the other one is a complete moron who wouldn’t know the truth if it slapped them in the face.

Biden’s more likely to call him a friend who he knows loves America, but who he disagrees with on a few key political points… and if you don’t like that, vote for the other guy.

Or an actor who’s played one. Maybe Tom Cruise or Kevin Pollak.
Let’s get Pauly Shore. I bet he’s available.
PWB. Presidenting While Black.
Oops, got caught PWG. Pony was grunching.

Mr. President, many people are saying that you’ve got one of the best minds for this stuff, and crediting your ideas with some of the advances in fighting the coronavirus. One tweet got 3 million likes, saying, “We need the stable genius in the White House to brainstorm.” Do you have any new ideas for possible treatments or prevention methods?
If he doesn’t give any, follow up. “Mr. President, the American people love you - you know this, they look to you for answers and guidance. So far you’ve had more ideas about the coronavirus and more open about your ideas and the process than any president in American history who’s had to deal with the novel coronavirus. You can’t clue the American people who love you and need your help in on any of what you’re thinking?”
Biden spends the last 30 minutes of the debate stammering into the microphone solo and tanking his own chances, stable genius wins again.

It would be entertaining if a reporter asked Trump why he tacked the word “gate” onto the end of “Obama.”

Remember what felt like 30 or 40 years ago when there were frat boys marching around with tiki torches chanting “Jews will not replace us”?
Who would have thought that those were the good old days?
