I see your Cuomo and raise you a Desantis. One made a mistake at the beginning of the pandemic when little was known about the virus,; the other willfully disregards the science and endangers countless people by ignoring the pandemic and spits in the face of evidence based decision making.

Sun May 10, 2018 at 3:32 p.m. CD The top White House official responsible for leading the U.S. response in the event of a deadly pandemic has left the administration, and the global health security team he oversaw has been disbanded under a reorganization by national security adviser John Bolton. The abrupt departure of Rear Adm. Timothy Ziemer from the National Security Council means no senior administration official is now focused solely on global health security. Ziemer’s departure, along with the breakup of his team, comes at a time when many experts say the country is already underprepared for the increasing risks of a pandemic or bioterrorism attack. Ziemer’s last day was Tuesday, the same day a new Ebola outbreak was declared in Congo. He is not being replaced. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/to-your-health/wp/2018/05/10/top-white-house-official-in-charge-of-pandemic-response-exits-abruptly/ bustamente, Fred C Dobbs, blue_gold_84 and 5 others 2 4 2

Mr Dee Posted October 13, 2020 Report Posted October 13, 2020 Really?? Internet this week. In a recent report on Barrett’s notable opinions, the Associated Press highlighted a 2019 workplace discrimination ruling that Barrett wrote for a unanimous three-judge panel. According to the the report, Barrett said that there was no evidence that use of the n-word “created a hostile or abusive working environment.” Mark F 1
Wanna-B-Fanboy Posted October 13, 2020 Report Posted October 13, 2020 Anyone else find it a little premature to place someone on the SCOTUS, when they have been a judge for less than 3 years? Is this unusual? I guess it's like all of trump's appointees, cabinet, and administration- light on actual experience in the role they thrust into. I was curious to see if less than three years experience was an abnormality.

Mark F Posted October 13, 2020 Report Posted October 13, 2020 (edited) Republicans putting out decoy, real looking ballot collection boxes in CA. Republicans call it "ballot harvesting" sure sounds like Don the Con's idea. SACRAMENTO, CALIF. -- California's chief elections official on Monday ordered Republicans to remove unofficial ballot drop boxes from churches, gun shops and other locations and Attorney General Xavier Becerra warned those behind the "vote tampering" could face prosecution. Republicans refused, saying they are taking advantage of California's liberal ballot collection law that allows anyone to collect ballots from voters and deliver them to county election offices. "As of right now, we're going to continue our ballot harvesting program," California Republican Party spokesman Hector Barajas said.
