Nothing to See Here

To all those wondering why #Obamagate randomly became a thing in the middle of a pandemic 5 months from an election - this is the answer. The President's new senior campaign aide needed to authorize the politically targeted leaks in the last week he could. https://t.co/Ece2P1JdVm

Wait, wut?

Hannity on Lake of The Ozarks Video: There’s no mask wearing here that I see... I see no social distancing. But if they get the virus and they’re in contact with older more vulnerable Americans, that could be a disaster... Please wear the mask for your mom, dad, grandma, grandpa pic.twitter.com/C8UGhTd7aH

Wait, wut wut?

PS - Why is your campaign sending emails to voters in Pennsylvania encouraging them to vote by mail? pic.twitter.com/7p02IQsDCX

Meanwhile, on Irony Street:

This Qaren is mad she can't get poison that Dr. Trumpenstein told her to talke. https://t.co/hrpWBfXMJc

The tweet Wilson refers to is from a suspended account.  The tweet had to do with not being able to get hydroxychloroquine from her doctor, despite Trump telling her to.  Whether it was a parody or not cannot be determined.  The death of Carolyn Grombell, Trump's former personal assistant, is no parody twitter thread.

Or is it?

The obvious fact that political pundits aren't stating clearly: The highly inconsistent messages sent by the White House about mask usage and social distancing is causing lot of social strife all over the country. https://t.co/euMTce9gfh

Feature, not bug.  Trump doesn't plan; but he loves to stir shit.  Maggie Haberman, meanwhile, continues to be tired of this shit.

The Atlantic has done vital work in the last several weeks about the administration’s failures in responding to the coronavirus. https://t.co/l58JVAzkDI

So, is this fine?  Or are we finally fed up?

Periodic reminder that the president has been counterpunching slash accusing others of all manner of things since earliest days of his campaign. Only recently have some folks stopped being surprised by it. https://t.co/kcvcvnH6Pe

Speaking of surprised:  I'm not:

Most revealing part of this ⁦⁦@peterbakernyt⁩ ⁦@MaggieAstor⁩ story: they reached out to ⁦@marcorubio⁩ ⁦@SenRickScott⁩ ⁦@GovRonDeSantis⁩ ⁦@mattgaetz⁩

None of the Fla lawmakers would say a word about Trump’s claimshttps://t.co/OvVFMLXBjW

Good night, Mrs. Calabash, wherever you are!
