If you haven't watched the TF briefing today, you really should.

-POTUS played a sizzle reel of FakeNews right to their faces. And they imploded w/ indignation
-VP laid out exactly what it means when all 50 states have Emergency Declarations.
-It means POTUS authority is -

absolute. They were losing their minds that POTUS said it, and kept hammering it over & over, saying that it wasn't true.

And then VP laid it out for them.

They haven't been paying attention.

They had no idea.

And now they do. And it was glorious. You could hear apin drop.

So the Question now is...

Since all 50 states have Emergency Declarations...

And @POTUS has Emergency powers...

And the media finally understands what that means...

How long until he drops the hammer?

Will he let [them] squirm for a little while?

Hunters become the Hunted.

You have to watch it.

@POTUS is a master showman.

He stirred them up in purpose, verbally spared w/ them until they were whipped up into a frenzy.

Then @VP explained it, calm & collected.

Perfection.

What. A. Time. To. Be. Alive.

If you don't have time to watch, that's why I've been transcribing (with a little color commentary).

Today is one that you need to get eyes on, any way:
