(43,176 posts)1. Bravo! Kudos! And a standing ovation!
These are fine public servants, standing up for democracy.
However they select or elect them, whatever their criteria, these should be studied

This is true excellence!

Addressing the nation is what presidents - real ones, anyway - do in a crisis.

I watched the evening news and local news (different state from Virginia) and there was no clip from this press conference.
