do or die

Centerpiece of the deal (which was drafted, before Democrats even saw any proposals - 500 billion in loans and guarantees for corporations, not across the board, but case by case, at the sole discretion of the administration. With no legal brakes on buybacks (stock) Nifty slush fund for certain 1 percenters. Priorities......

Just watching another yet stupefying episode of political kabuki theater. .....also known as the daily Coronavirus Task Force Briefing, starring Donald Trump. Check it out later......

Ole Lou Dobbs, who even late last week on Fox, was calling the virus a hoax.....has tested positive.

Cuomo has also stated that whatever happens "I'll take the blame" The contrast with Trump is on the surface, quite startling. Though, for people who have observed Trump for a while.....its no real surprise. No morals, no character, no leadership.

I did. Darn, just outed myself, again....

Lets not get over the top about this virus thing.....like say, those excitable types in Italy and Spain. Ignoring the literal definition of "Pandemic", would be helpful as well.

Everybody on the Hill, under scrutiny

Fox is suddenly bringing it. Also reported by the New York Post and Daily Beast. https://www.foxnews.com/politics/kelly-loeffler-coronavirus-stock Be interesting to see how many other legislators and/or administration folks, became speculators during this virus business. 2 Senators, already.

Tucker Carlson calls on Burr to resign amid reports of stock selloff https://thehill.com/homenews/media/488576-tucker-carlson-calls-on-burr-to-resign-amid-reports-of-stock-selloff-due-to Burr, the chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, reportedly offloaded between $582,029 and $1.56 million of stock on Feb. 13 in almost 30 different transactions days after lawmakers on the intelligence committee were briefed on the virus. What is with Tucker Carlson? For over a decade, churning out bigoted, malicious and non-factual junk - now the guy follows a couple of sensible pieces about the virus, and the need to take positive actions....with this above stuff. Did he make a secret visit to Damascus? With the backtracking from some of the other usual propaganda suspects, this week - is Fox turning a pivot, here? Fascinating.

After looking around further, I have no choice than to offer up an apology to our dedicated posters, for misquoting Donald Trump. ....while taking no responsibility, at all

On a more positive note: After weeks of criticism, the Trump administration has reversed course on its request to cut funds for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) in its 2021 budget. "This FY 2021 Budget amendment increases funding for CDC to ensure that the Agency has the resources beginning October 1, 2020, to continue its critical public health mission," White House Budget Chief Russ Vought wrote to Congress in a letter dated Tuesday. Just last week, Vought doubled down on the administration's request to cut health funds in the 2021 budget, telling a House Appropriations subcommittee that "no, I’m not sending up a budget amendment.” The administration had proposed cutting $1.2 billion from the CDC and $451 million from NIAID as compared to current funding.

According to Trump Such insight. Such a stable genius....

The media and no one else, for that matter, knows anything about all the fantastic and incredible things Trump has done to combat the virus. Well according the the Orange Scourge, anyways Usual Trump traits are on shameless and naked display, yet again this morning.

Trump giving another PC. In just the first 5 minutes, unbelievable amount of "brag"

Damage already done. Fox and other right wing echo chambers, spent all their time, labeling the virus as varied forms of a evil conspiracy or simply media hysteria - actually encouraging people to ignore the health warnings. A lot of Americans took that advice. Sadly, a lot of Americans are simply going to die, as a result of this total and blatant irresponsibility. Longtime exposure to malignant propaganda......... sometimes has its price.

Sanders wiped out in Florida (lost by 40%), Illinois (22) and Arizona 12). He had his debate time, and can barter further (platform) with his fundraising lists, and support. But Sanders is traveling a road to nowhere......

Socialism rules!

in fact....he could feel it in his bone spurs..

....and the deflector shields being re-charged...

Number of polls out.... showing between 40-45% of Republicans stating they were "very" or "somewhat concerned" about the coronavirus outbreak, up from 26 percent in February. Not sure what the other 55-60% are thinking. Although, cruising around the heavy Trump supporter sites......far too many people think it is overblown, a put on, or mostly some form of conspiracy initiated by: Current Democrats The media Obama the WHO Unknown/unnamed "Globalist"/"Deep" State entities Over the years....the right wing mouth-breathers, have sure done their work well.....,.

Trump insisted on Tuesday when asked what led to the change, saying he didn’t feel a shift in his tone. “I felt it was a pandemic long before it was a pandemic.”

How many people are going to die in the US, because the Trump administration perpetuated a state of denial, during the crucial first month and a half of the outbreak?

Plenty of stories now coming out.... about how a number of people in the Trump administration were simply afraid to be on the wrong end of "shoot the messenger".....squandering weeks of crucial time (such as getting the ball rolling on testing) to prepare for what was coming.
