    There was a long while there where every photo of our cabinet looked like a caravaggio painting

        Trump is doubling down on his effort to be considered a "war time President", presumably because of the historic impact this has on midterms.

        If he is to be considered such, he is a war time president who spent his first term dismantling both the intelligence and military capabilities of the U.S.

          That was a pretty swift turnaround, from a hoax to a war.

            If the market doesn't start going back up, we will be back to hoax in no time

              Speaking of, any sense of what this Small Business Lending Programme is going to involve? Guarantees like most of the European programmes, or access to the discount window as some have suggested?

                Everything seems to be rather up in the air right now, given the GOP penchant for festooning any proposal with donor handouts.

                  The current proposal seems to have a component that allows Stephen Mnuchin to give $500bn to Trump International Hotels and Adelson casinos without any accountability, any oversight, and even without anyone knowing about it until after the next election.

                    You can't blame them for trying . . .

                      They can just snap one of Tlaib's coins in half for that.

                          Trump doesn't have the powers to "to send people back to work" and the markets surely know this. Even if governors tried to force places to stay open, there would be mass sickness.

                          "trade off" = let people die, which no civilized nation could ever do and still call itself civilized. First duty of executive is surely to protect public health.

                                Speaking of companies, Disney and Universal/Comcast are going to be in a fair bit of trouble aren't they?

                                I would be selling if I had shares in those bad boys.

                                  Today's press conference is even worse than usual.

                                    This is quite something (Reno is one of the leading voices of "Conservative Catholicism" in the country)

                                        Right now, Trump is asking Dr Birx, she is contradicting him without saying so explicitly, and he talks about the journalists who don't like him.

                                        She is explaining things as best she can and he doesn't hear a word.

                                              It is getting where these doctors need to flat out, on camera, tell numbnuts he is WRONG, and lecture him why he is WRONG like you would a lying, cheating 8-year old. By sitting in the back, dancing on eggshells to not piss him off is bullshit and will result in more infected people and more deaths.

                                              What is he going to do, fire them? If so, they can hold their heads up high.

                                                  Right. Let's start with trump. Does Pence have grandchildren? How about McConnell?
