Joe saying "check the national archives" is code for "they are at the university of Delaware! Once we scrub them, you are free to search."

It is something when these "conspiracy theories" turn out to be light on the theory, heavy on the conspiracy...

Google and Facebook buy everything that seems to be a threat to their dominance. I'd be willing to guess some people just start new apps and socials simply to be bought by Facebook and Google. When Google Play will not allow your app, your social will not go far. Youtube alternatives.

There was a question asked today at the presser if Trump was at all worried about the generosity of that extra $600 of unemployment under the CARES act, and if it would be extended past the end of July? Trump mentioned that indeed that was a concern, and why they tried to have to redone (remember Lindsey Graham trying to get that rewritten when they figured it out? He's not having an extension), but the Democrats were having none of it. They wanted the unemployed to be able to earn more than when they were working. And an anecdotal story... we were supposed to have our windows washed earlier this month. The owner called the day before to reschedule (NYS had asked them to), and he mentioned to me that he was having a difficult time getting guys to work as they were making more on unemployment. It does happen.

Press: (Acosta) Will you insist on US investigators in Wuhan? Trump: China is trying. Was it a mistake? Did they do it on purpose? We will have to see. Press: Kim Jun Un? Trump: Cannot talk about it. I hope he will be fine. Done. It is amazing how much better behaved the press is away from the briefing room.

Press: Open to Mitch's call for states doing a bankruptcy... Trump: No, I didn't say that. We will see what happens. Press: Masks? Pence did not do one for Mayo Clinic. Will you wear one in Arizona? Trump: I will have to see. I am supposed to make a speech... in a mask... I would have no problem wearing a mask

Press: (Jon Roberts) Are you suggesting this was not naturally occuring? Trump: We are gonna see. Talking about all the different theories. Press: What gives you a high degree of confidence that this came from the Wuhan Virology Lab? Trump: I cannot tell you that. Press: Just not pay China on our debt to pay us back Trump: Protecting the dollar, can come from tariffs, etc. Press: Pelosi said they are asking for to $1T for states (phase 4) Trump: The Democratic states want bailouts. The Republican states are doing well. Is that luck or talent? Trump is on board with infrastructure. (We know this)

Sometimes I wonder about your hearing filter.

Press: (John Roberts) : DNI put out a statement under the office for the virus was natural Trump: Will have to see that. Press: Anything at this point that gives you a high degree of confidence it came from the Wuhan place (he named the place) Trump: Yes, I have. Then he went on to beat on WHO.

Press: Going after Joe B after Tara Reade allegations? Trump: He should respond. It could be false allegations, and I know all about false allegations. (Names Kavenaugh... making fun of Christine Ford) Press: Did China purposely do it? Trump: Could be competency. How come they (China) stopped Chinese planes, but not to Europe or US? Press: Holding accountable now? Trump: We are looking at it. It got loose, let's say,,, Press (Acosta): You tweeted that China was helpful, what changed? Trump: Well, let me tell you... yapping about the trade deal. Now we are finding out how it came out. We should have the answer in the not to distant future. You can have good trade deals, but... I will let you know if China was misleading. Mentioning the 184 countries China has allowed to suffer, Will have to be dealt with.

Press: China is doing everything they can to not see you reelected. What are they doing? Trump: Naming Biden and Obama allowing China to rip off the country. Press: Do you think withholding info on the virus is part of that? Trump: China would like to see Sleepy Joe Biden Press: Extending the $600 extra unemployment benefits? Trump: They are looking at it. View Q 3 as transition quarter, Q4 will be great. Press: Do you hold Xi responsible for withholding the info? Trump: Don't want to say, but they could have stopped it. Press: Worried about that $600 making people reluctant to go back to work Trump: Well, I said that could happen. We are being generous to people who have lost their jobs.

Press: (John Roberts) Flynn may have unintentionally mislead the VP? Trump: Have to talk to the VP, but what they did to Flynn was a disgrace. What happened to Flynn should never happen to a citizen. Press: Will you pardon? Trump: He's going to be exonerated. Press: Bring him back to your administration? Trump: I'd consider it! Bringing up the son. Press: In what capacity would you bring him back? (Flynn) Trump: We will look. Press: Coronavirus, your SIL "government response has been a great success story." Is that the right tone? Trump: Beating on China. What Jared is talking about what we have done so far, except for PR which the press will not talk about... Ventilators, ventilators, ventilators ... (I am gonna be drunk) Praising Dr Birx, and how what has been done in a short period of time. Very proud of the job we have done. Over 6M tests.

Seema Verma: Premiums are 13 years and 7 year lows (she named what was what, but I missed it) Ensuring inspectors are consistent. Required nursing homes when there is an outbreak. (I can confirm this as my mother received two letters to date about my father's nursing home COVID-19 cases) New guidance for coronavirus on nursing homes in February (this normally takes months and years) New state grants for nursing homes (inspection, Congress finally provided the funding) Overseeing the commission for coronavirus reopening in nursing homes (sounds like more than just COVID-19) Lowering the price of insulin for Seniors (news to come)

Alex Azar: $1B in grants to aging agencies (40% in annual support), delivered meals, assistance with chores in homes, and trips to the grocery stores Robert Wilkie: All 78K residents and staff in VA homes have been tested. The virus has been contained in the VA nursing homes. VA staff was deployed to state nursing homes (MA, NJ, AL, TN, CA, MN, RI, TX, etc ... talking about having taken in non-VA people into some of those nursing homes)

Trump: In additional to all distributed supplies FEMA will send supplemental shipments (Pete Gainer) PPE to all 15,000 nursing homes in US. More money from CARES ACT to nursing homes. New testing data from nursing home will be posted online (as well as telling relatives about cases in the nursing homes) Coronavirus commission for nursing homes

Trump up: (what is hilarious is those seated are 6' apart, but those in the back of the room (overflow and photographers) are squished together) He is with Governor Lee of Tennessee. This is a Seniors focus. Proclamation for May "older Americans month" New actions for nursing homes. Azar, Wilkie, Gainer, Lengyel, and one more I missed Vaccines moving along rapidly. Moved at a stunning speed. Accelerated treatments. Had VA staff help in nursing homes (not new) $1B grants for home delivered meals. 650K from 11K a week are using telahealth Ventilates (*****, I have wine today! I may end up on the floor) Gen Lengyel: (I am gonna guess he is there due to today's EO) National Guard what they are doing. Staffing food banks, cleaning nursing homes, Trump: supporting state led nursing homes Governor Lee: Blowing smoke up Trump's butt, praising him to high heavens In April 2% of TN were tested, in May expected to test more... especially in nursing homes Committed to testing all residents and staff in all 700 long term care facilities (!)

This will be walked back in 3...2...1...

Anyone want to guess why Wray still has a job?

I gotta say, I am impressed. This sock puppet is really doing well operating 3-4 accounts in tandem in this thread alone! ?

Well, Sidney Powell did call Baker Halper's handler...and with what came out yesterday, I think Undercover Huber is being generous with the "doesn't prove."

Think about how many opps these people were running!

If I am ever being railroaded by the US Government, I want to hire her to represent me. She is, indeed, a pitbull.
