  1. For anyone that did not see Trump absolutely meltdown today during the press conference, here is one small clip: Dr., please don't touch your face; you're the only competent and credible person we have.
  2. Lets unpack this... In 2012, Senator Burr was one of only three senators that voted against the STOCK Act, which explicitly barred lawmakers and their staff from using nonpublic information for trades and required regular disclosure of those trades. Senator Loeffler assumed office on January 6, 2020 after having been appointed to the seat vacated by retiring Sen. Johnny Isakson. Between then and January 23, she did not report a single stock transaction from accounts owned by her individually or by her and her husband jointly. On January 24, 2020 the Senate Health Committee hosted a private, all-senators briefing from administration officials, including the CDC director and Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, on the coronavirus. On that day, Sen. Loeffler and her husband (Chairman and CEO of the New York Stock Exchange) began unloading stock. From January 24 and Febuary 14, Loeffler sold off betrween $1,275,000 and $3,100,000 in stocks. First transaction, she sold between $50,001 and $100,000 in Resideo Technologies, which has fallen by more than half since then. One of Loeffler’s two purchases was between $100,000 and $250,000 in Citrix, teleworking software. Senator Burr is also Chairman of the Intel Committee and the Gang of 8, where he receives daily and more classified briefings. In a February 7 op-ed, he assured the public that “the United States today is better prepared than ever before to face emerging public health threats, like the coronavirus.” He wrote, “No matter the outbreak or threat, Congress and the federal government have been vigilant in identifying gaps in its readiness efforts and improving its response capabilities.” On February 13, he sold off a significant percentage of his stocks, unloading between $628,000 and $1.72 million in 33 separate transactions. For example, he dumped up to $150,000 worth of shares of Wyndham Hotels and Resorts, that has since lost two-thirds of its value. And he sold up to $100,000 of shares of Extended Stay America, which are now worth less than half of what they did at the time Burr sold. On February 27, in an exclusive pay-for event, Burr told attendees: "There’s one thing that I can tell you about this: It is much more aggressive in its transmission than anything that we have seen in recent history ... It is probably more akin to the 1918 pandemic.” On February 28, Loeffler tweeted: These two senators, and a few others identified, have profited off of this pandemic and their insider information while gaslighting America at the same time. Remember when Donald Trump, Republicans, @Notre Dame Joe, et al pretended to care about corruption!?! Can you imagine what the Trumps were doing behind the scenes!?! On that note, fun fact:
  3. Ben Sasse is on this same Committee. I want to know what he knew and why he has not done anything for his Nebraska constituents.
  4. You must not be watching his daily press conferences.
  5. Why isn't Dr. Fauci, the only credible actor, on stage!?!
  6. The entire party is rotten to the core.
  7. Gallup poll 12/15/2019 45% approval 51% disapproval House impeachment 12/18/2019 Gallup poll 1/15/2020 44% approval 53% disapproval Gallup poll 1/29/2020 49% approval 50% disapproval Senate acquittal 2/5/2020 Gallup poll 2/16/2020 49% approval 48% disapproval Gallup poll 2/28/2020 47% approval 51% disapproval Gallup poll 3/13/2020 44% approval 52% disapproval
  8. I think you're saying the same thing. We can't trust the numbers coming out of China; AND They are locking cities down (draconian measures).
  9. Back from the 7% circuit breaker, the Dow is currently down 8.5%, on pace for another Top 10 largest daily percentage loss ever.
  10. They are scheduled out for the most part the rest of 2020. The events for the next 8 weeks are in the process of rescheduling. That isn't too bad. But if the restrictions continue, your model doesn't work in reality. Brides will start asking for refunds and seeking alternative plans. And deposits alone don't pay all the bills.
  11. “It snuck up on us,” says the guy calling it a hoax at a campaign rally two weeks ago.
  12. WHY. THE. F*CK. IS. JARED. KUSHNER. WORKING. IN. THE. WHITE. HOUSE!?!
  13. My sister-in-law is a nurse at Methodist. They were told not to come in. Basically, no elective surgeries, no one wants to go to ER, and COVID-19 like symptoms are usually going to UNMC.
  14. I'm sorry to hear this, BRB. My father, mother, and sister own/operate a wedding venue. It was chugging along nicely, so they all quit their other jobs and this became their sole source of income. These restrictions have explicitly zeroed out their revenue for the foreseeable future. My parents just sold their home and built a smaller home... on a sliver of the wedding venue property. If their is no relief at the banking level, I fear the absolute worst for their business and housing.
  15. This thread, summarizing the Imperial College report and modeling, is terrifying.
