Acosta on CNN now.

 

Acosta: "What we're being told is being driven in part by what the president wants the people to hear. [...] Obviously what we heard yesterday was a full scale debacle."

 

Conley: "Since we last spoke, the president has continued to improve. As with any illness, there are ups and downs. [...] The president has experienced transient drops in his oxygen saturation. [...] Late Friday morning, the president had a high fever. [...] I recommended the president try some supplemental oxygen. He was fairly adamant he didn't need it, but after about a minute over 2 liters his saturation levels were about 94%." Then yada yada he went to Walter Reed.

"He has remained without fever since Friday morning." Is not complaining of shortness of breath. Is ambulating and walking around without limitation. They keep tossing it to different doctors.

 

POTUS is on a five day course of remdesivir.

 

"Today he feels well. He's up and around. Our plan for him today is for him to eat and drink and be mobile for as much as possible. If things continue to improve we plan for him to return to the WH as early as Monday if possible."

 

 


Conley claims Meadows was "misconstrued" when asked which of them was telling the truth yesterday.

 

 

Aaaand away he goes. Ignoring a final q re: lung scans.

 

 

Gupta on CNN: "They are telegraphing concerns again here and the next few days are going to be critical for him."

Tapper: "But to laymen like me, they're hidden in this cloud of 'upbeat attitude.' I don't need upbeat attitude as an American citizen, I need facts about how the president is doing."


They're dissecting the 'expected findings' in the lungs and the use of dex/steroids.

Gupta does not believe Trump will be discharged tomorrow, and neither do I unless Trump demands it against medical advice.

 

 

 

 

 

Dana Bash on Conley: "We don't need a medical briefing from a Baghdad Bob!"

We are nearing the "glorious comeback/COVID is nothing" stage of the game, if at all possible. 

 

I saw that Chuck Todd was trending, as he spent the morning talking about the uphill battle Biden's campaign is facing. 

 

Todd and that tedious little man George Stephanapolous also had Trump flacks on and let them push every talking point under the sun.

 

Use polls for inspiration and confidence, but please never forget who the media is working for.

Gloria Borger says Conley has been turned into a spin doctor for Trump, not a medical professional.

 

 

Unlikely atm!

 

 

If the media had gotten their way Romney and McCain would've won. The media does not control the polls or the public. That's why Todd is being raked over the coals.

Obama ran a strong campaign and had a great ground game and also made sure to keep the media at arm's length. All I can hope is that Biden's people have done the same. The pandemic has made the ground game part much more difficult, but hopefully it will be enough. 

 

At least I got a laugh today out of Bernie supporters still whining and pouting.

    • BITD I was posting about how interesting it was that Denise had been with this same guy for simply years but they just did not marry - then that year they married! 
    • Random takes from this week: - Bill’s been played way too soft by the actor. I just can’t buy him doing anything truly sinister. I wish he had more of that old-school Victor Newman edge. - On characterization: I’m fine with Leslie being shown as a narcissistic and cruel mother—as long as she doesn’t tip into full cartoon villain territory. Dani’s involvement in Nicole’s storyline feels natural to me, and I really like that Martín is such a hothead, which totally clashes with his polished political career. No wonder no one wants to confide in him. Also, I don’t mind Haley’s characterization at all. - I’m still annoyed they dropped the whole lawsuit storyline. That’s why I’m a bit hesitant about getting too invested in the June plot. Also: I can do without another instant-sibling storyline. - Ashley and Derek? Totally fine with them in small doses. That’s the best way to handle those two. - Thank God Ted is getting recast. I honestly couldn’t handle that constant swaying much longer. - Speaking of Ted: maybe I’m in the minority here, but that hotel set is hideous. The oversized boiserie makes everything look flat, and that artwork on the wall? Bland, ugly, and lifeless. - I’m 50/50 on the product placement. On one hand, it’s totally misplaced and campy—especially when it shows up in the middle of emotional scenes. It just feels wrong. But on the other hand… here we are talking about Febreze and Tide. So maybe it is working? I honestly don’t know. - I don’t have any issues with the fashion on the show overall, but André’s wardrobe is just off. Not in terms of style, but size. His tops are way too tight and actually make him look even shorter than he is. Same goes for Smitty. Both of them would seriously benefit from some larger blazers or chunkier sweaters.
    • Summer is here bishesssssssssssssssssss I'm so happy!

      Didn't know about this song. LOL. Lyrics - Junkies down in Brooklyn are going crazy They're laughing, just like hungry dogs in the street Policemen are hidin' behind the skirts of little girls Their eyes have turned the color of frozen meat No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Catholic school girls have thrown away their mascara They chain themselves to the axles of Big Mack trucks The sky is filled with herds of shivering angels The fat lady laughs, "Gentlemen, start your trucks" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave no, no (Christina) no, no, no, no, no (Come to mother) no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no... (Christina) Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave Joan Crawford has risen from the grave
