1. 4 pm ET (which means 5)

[demmiblue]

5. Thanks, I am ET, but thought I read 5:00 earlier today.

But, too true... psycho wants to keep 'em waiting!

[soothsayer]

10. He's the worst! WH.gov still says 4

[demmiblue]

11. It is so very draining.

And, unfortunately, it is hard to pull away from at times.

[soothsayer]

2. Can I hope that falls on him?

[lagomorph777]

15. I'd actually tune in if they could promise that.

[intrepidity]

3. So another Biden-bashing session then? nt

[napi21]

4. What the hell atr those 2 trucks on display for? It looks like a new model release from GM or Ford?

On South Lawn, WH seeks to make a political point by setting up a crane lifting the weights of regulation from the bed of a "red" truck, while showing the burden of regulations weighing down a "blue" truck.

16. It's like we're living in a cartoon.

25. Everyhing seems to be reminding me of

some song or another. This one comes to mind here, written about Reagan but works for any R regime leader...

[napi21]

27. OH, I see now. Waisting a lot of time & $$ on reporters don't ya think? I guess there might be

SOME constituents in the crowd, but most are reporters. After covering the WH for 3 years, I doubt many of them will vote for him!

6. "his record of rolling back regulations"

Such as the regulations and people who would have kept us safe from C-19?

In his last days Adolf Hitler would spend hours looking at scale models of great new Berlin
that will show the glory of the Third Reich and now we have Donald with "weights" made out
of plywood and paint being "lifted' by the great Trump meanwhile another 60,000 American
get the disease. What a shit show.

7. Trying to push through projects quickly without restrictions or oversight

so he can reward friendly contractors with govt project money faster and get campaign kickbacks before he leaves office.

8. WH event. A few masks and almost 200 seats separated but not socially distanced.

17. Who are the 200 victims of this shitshow?

[soothsayer]

12. Who is clapping?

[demmiblue]

14. I am watching MSNBC, and they are not showing the shit show.

I think I am going to go watch some cheesy rom-com (and wake up in the wee hours to see the fall-out).

[smirkymonkey]

13. This shit has to stop.

Why do these reporters feed his bottomless pit of an ego?

And what the hell is he doing "branding" the crane? FFS, what a flaming narcissist!

[ProfessorGAC]

18. Prediction

I honestly believe some will get up & leave!
This is a stunt, not a press briefing.
I think the Acostas & Alcindors have had quite enough.

[smirkymonkey]

23. I hope so!

And I hope he is humiliated by it. They aren't helping their careers or the reputation of their employers by giving into him and being abused by him all the time. They would be a lot more respected if they stood up to him.

[malaise]

19. One more fucking campaign rally

There are no words for this low life

[soothsayer]

21. Ha, even fox cut away

[soothsayer]

20. Hey, Fox is fact checking him

Giving Obama credit for financial regulations and tripling the dow.

[musette_sf]

22. no bar too low...

[ms liberty]

24. It's an episode of "The Apprentice - WH Edition"

Excuse me, I'd like to go throw up now.

[muriel_volestrangler]

26. To ask the obvious, isn't this illegal, again?

He's using government property for campaigning. Who has paid for the "visual aid" that only a dolt like Trump needs (because he can't read, and has the attention of a gnat, so can't listen to people either) of a crane labelled "Trump Administration" like a really crappy editorial cartoon? It's either criminal use of public money, or it's proof that it's a campaign rally with the Republicans paying for it.
