Seems like the internet comments sections has increasingly become real life over the past few years.Yeah, the last couple years feels more generalized and intense than, say, back when I was in college in the 90s.

Don't remember who it was, but in 2015 I remember there was a comedian who described Trump that way. It was like the comments section of social media had come to life and was running for President.

That makes more sense than going after him solely for having an aid walk his dog.

"going after him" might even be a little bit of an overstatement. There were apparently some complaints about Pompeo getting a security detail for his wife even when she was home in the states back in 2019. Pretty sure it's the IG's job to follow up on what we would see as HR complaints.
I didn't see any info on the extent of that investigation, just some indication that the IG was looking at Pompeo's actions. I mean, yeah, if he was staking out the dry cleaners and tailing Pompeo's wife, then that's excessive.

This may be out of line, but it feels like the Saudi military/gov't maybe should've had a bit more awareness than one of their officer corps set to go overseas for training was sliding into al-Qaeda's DMs. Or maybe they did, and that's the problem.

I was referring to Freddy's tweet that they were investigating Pompeo only because he had staff do personal errands for him. As usual, his tweets are not the whole story."going after him" might even be a little bit of an overstatement.

There is a house down the block from us whose owner has decided quarantine is perfect timing to do a complete in-and-out renovation. They've added square footage, painted the exterior, and added a whole new fence to the frontage.

Asked what evidence there is that hydroxychloroquine has a preventative impact, Trump says, "Here's my evidence: I get a lot of positive calls about it."
Trump notes the VA study that showed hydroxychloroquine wasn't effective and that there were higher death rates for people taking it, but suggests the people who did it "aren't big Trump fans." He then lies that he's the one who got the Obama-era Veterans Choice program passed.

So if he’s been using it for a week....did he test positive? You wouldn’t take it as a preventative medicine, right?
Or is he lying? I think he’s lying.

It’s just the Trump Double Down. When you know you are wrong, just further push that to make it seem like you are confident....and thus right

The thing that is starting to wear thin is that ANY bad news is because they don’t like Trump.
I mean it’s worn thin, but it’s just tiring at this point.
