Every Republican candidate should read this and realize he will burn you all to the ground. Your loyalty means nothing. Your survival means nothing. #ETTD

Current headline story @ WaPo: Tensions emerge in GOP over coronavirus spending and how to rescue the economy

Republican leaders now find themselves struggling with how to balance the need to prop up the struggling economy ahead of the fall’s elections with concerns that too much spending could hurt them with their base of voters.

We know he's a liar, we know

We know he's a liar, we know there's no rescue - what now? Lather, rinse, repeat? Keep exposing the same already known corruption? How to reclaim the government, a message of truth, practical controls.

Just wait til November, hope for January? Imagine Osama bin Laden attacking every day. "But Osama was elected" "no he wasn't" "just let the ballot box due it's thing" "they removed the ballot boxes" "some say he's doing a good job" "he pays them to say he's doing a good job" "but New York has never been so clean, devoid of noise and smog" "he killed the people - the patient is dead but looks beautiful?"

We had a "both sides do it" of 50 people vs all of science. And it's a "standstill" - no protests by the same except on Twitter - people thinking genteel behavior will prevail. Do the nutcakes even see these Tweets? I bet Zuckerberg is paid or volunteers to make sure he doesn't. Think how easy your email can get marked "spam" - my Mom can send junk conspiracy to me, but I can't even respond w/I to getting marked as spam. That's our "level" democracy, our 2-way street. You follow the rules, Jared and McConnell and Trump follow da Krazy. Somehow it will work out in 9 months? That's a helluva lot of trust and self-delusion. Our opposition party is largely reduced to writing clever rebukes, while the Supreme Court even told Wisconsin voters they had to face deadly risks to vote even with safe alternatives. It's now critical. The Calvary is not coming. We will die a largely silent death.

Sounds like Jvanka or

Sounds like Jvanka or somebody similar managed to manipulate him:

What is the purpose of having White House News Conferences when the Lamestream Media asks nothing but hostile questions, & then refuses to report the truth or facts accurately. They get record ratings, & the American people get nothing but Fake News. Not worth the time & effort!

Now if he quits the Trump Primetime show, how do they keep him busy?

I think there's a Trump White

I think there's a Trump White House rule: the buck never ever stops at the Oval Office -

I'd be willing to bet they would all secretly support this, virtually unanimously, as he's even losing some of his base with the nightly Trump show:

A group of professors, myself included, have written an open letter to the heads of ABC News, CBS News, NBC News, MSNBC and CNN petitioning for an end to live coverage of the president's briefings. https://t.co/WNvnuRTeTq If you're an academic and want to sign, scroll down....

they've got to do something

they've got to do something about this pronto or they are toast:

I want everyone to know that the White House, Mnuchin, McConnell & Congress *know* that there is a housing crisis looming due to inaction on rent + mortgage relief.

If we don’t act ASAP, millions could face foreclosure & eviction.

Dems have plans to stop it. It’s being blocked. https://t.co/93R7o1wHhh
