Now would be a good time to really start pressing him on the cuts to the CDC that he allegedly doesn’t remember making since they’re clearly going to lose access anyway.

Absolutely - you bet!! But will they?

Trump said "I didn't know about" cutting pandemic response team. Here's a 2018 video of him talking about why he cut the team

If any of the press present had any balls they’d stand up and, before asking the question, PLAY THE FUCKING AUDIO TAPE of him saying that he did dismantle it. THEN ask him the question. I do not get why the press still think rules apply when clearly he does not. Oh, they’re worried about losing access to this shitshow and being unable to be there to ask another feeble fucking question he’ll lie and bluster to? Fuck them, too.

ETA ref the post we are commenting on… did we really - yet again - need the same text repeated three times just because three people most of us have never heard of tweeted that exact same text? REALLY? What conceivable value did that add for us readers?
