Its that time again friends, The Good News Roundup, where I descend into the bowels of the bing search engine and hunt that most elusive prey: Five stories to help keep you going through our current crises. So with little fanfare, lets get on with it.
President Donald Trump went off on Fox News in a Twitterstorm Sunday, claiming that they’re being fed talking points from the Democratic party.
Fox is generally criticized for being so cozy with the Trump campaign and administration. He went on to mock the network for not being included in the Democratic Party debates during the primary, but then called it “low ratings.”
The president then rattled off another tweet of nonsensical insults.
At this point Trump is not so much biting the hand that feeds him he’s gnawing on it like a starving toothless dog.
In a column for the Daily Beast, longtime conservative Matt Lewis claimed that Donald Trump’s plan to abandon the daily press conferences where ostensibly he was to update the public on new information on the COVID-19 pandemic, is a sign that he knows they have been a failure for him as he scrambles to stop his slide in the polls.
And nothing of value was lost. Do us all a favor Trump. Sit down and shut up until we can vote you out. We’ll all be a lot happier.
With two months until the June 23 primary elections in New York, Gov. Andrew Cuomo will issue an executive order directing the state Board of Elections to mail absentee ballot applications to every registered voter.
The postage-paid application will give voters the option of casting an absentee ballot instead of going to a polling location to vote in person.
Have I mentioned how much I love being a New Yorker right now? Cause I really really do.
Two Republican groups challenging Donald Trump's re-election have released minute-long attack ads attacking the president's response to the coronavirus after he dangerously suggested Americans ingest potentially deadly disinfectants to combat the virus.
One ad also criticises Americans who are protesting stay-at-home orders with "words of selfish entitlement" as the US death toll climbs above 50,000.
A video from Republicans for the Rule of Law titled "Unfit. Unwell. Unreasonable" cuts together unedited footage from the president's Thursday press briefing in which he suggested that using ultraviolet light exposure and injecting disinfectants, which can be lethal, could combat Covid-19, the disease caused by the virus.
Any help to dethrone Trump is appreciated to be sure, hopefully with us attacking him at all sides Trumps days are numbered.
When Dr. Anthony Fauci was asked earlier this month who he would want to play him on SNL, he responded jokingly, “Brad Pitt of course.” Well Saturday Night Live granted him that wish with a cold open featuring, yes, Brad Pitt.
“Good evening. I’m Dr. Anthony Fauci,” Pitt said wearing a white wig and glasses. “First, I’d like to thank all the older women in America who have sent me supportive, inspiring, and sometimes graphic emails. Now, there’s been a lot of misinformation out there about the virus. And, yes, the president has taken some liberties with our guidelines, so tonight I would like to explain what the president was trying to say. And, remember, let’s all keep an open mind.”
And of course I like to end on some levity, so lets all laugh at and mock Trump together. The more we laugh the angrier he gets.
And that’s it for this weeks good news roundup, I’ll see you all next week. Same bat time, same bat channel.
