3/13 Trump address - to declare national emergency

[pixy0stix]

I have CNN up and ready to go.

[heat40]

I’m currently at the supermarket. Will be refreshing here for updates.

[ESF]

I'm watching only because I'm hoping he has a coughing attack on national TV. 

[Bernadine]

I'm in a meeting, following here for updates.

I had it up on my giant monitor, and I had to minimize the window because I don't want a giant Trump so close to my face.

Same!

The feed I'm watching is showing the empty podium in the rose garden. Goodness, those trees are lovely.

Kind of a strange pang of sadness that the loveliness of spring is overshadowed by uncertainty.

Anyway, here's wonderwall.

Where can I watch this? I don't have cable, and I thought it would interrupt network TV, but nothing yet.

It hasn't started yet. I bet when it does they'll interrupt.

[bugandbibs]

Has it started? My screen still says live stream starting soon.


ETA- nevermind, thanks pixy0stix,

[NewOrleans]

Watch it so I don’t have to

good point. off to watch.

Did other presidents usually get started past their start time, or is Trump the only one always strolls in late?

[ESF]

Damn it. I've got a call in 20 minutes. They gotta get this shitshow on the road, or I'll have to watch it on mute. Which, TBF, will be good enough to watch the coughs.

Maybe he's having a coughing fit right now!

[Patsy Baloney]

Maybe he keeled over and died?

Maybe he's peed his depends and he needs a change.

Oops, I bumped the other thread.
Commentators said that there's no teleprompter set up so they think he's going to speak off the cuff.
Omg if that's true. Maybe they drugged him enough?

I was wondering that, too. He’s always late.

Oh fuck, I'm pisssssssed I have this conference call now.

I mean, I'm terrified that this is our reality, but laughing at this stain on humanity is basically all we have left now.

Our governor did a presser today with some major announcements and she was about 18 minutes late.

Side note: RI public schools are closed next week state wide for early April vacation and so educators can figure out remote learning, and anyone who has traveled internationally, anywhere, in the last 14 days is ordered to self-quarantine.

[smock]

Where is this fucker?!?

Bill Clinton was known for being chronically late for everything.

Alright, I'm going to the restroom. I'm probably going to wash my hands for 30-45 seconds while humming the Thong Song to myself, thanks to a viral Twitter video from Sisqo.

I promise this will cause the orange show to get on the road.

[pixy0stix]

Buckle up.

[sofamonkey]

Here he is!

[VillainV]

He sounds like shit.

ETA: I’m listening on CNN radio

[pixy0stix]

Tremendous progress? WTF?
