Holy sh#t. I suppose this was always the inevitable conclusion given the way Trump's brain works and how he riles people up but my god how depraved this man is.

 

The sad thing is the official death toll is probably underreported and yet he's girding up to argue the opposite is true. Because it's good for him politically.

 

Y'all can dump as much sh#t on Biden's head as you want around here as long as you vote for him to get this clown out of the office in November.

Yeah, Trump's gross incompetence, negligence, and out right lies on the pandemic is far more than anything Biden has done or been accused of doing. Trump has even managed to be worse than W who lied us into a war. And that's before all of the other clownish and repugnant stuff Trump has done.

On this we can agree. Feels good!

 

We'll disagree about Biden through November. And then we can both gripe about him after he's elected. It'll be fun!

Nice.

 

White House: Let's re-open the country.

Also the White House: We don't want professionals telling you how to do it.

 

 

[schriznoeder]

I'll put this in the same category as our decision to turn down initial testing resources from WHO. Truly "America alone"...

As Trump wants to open up the country, he may have to shut down the WH:

A member of the US Navy who serves as one of President Donald Trump's personal valets has tested positive for coronavirus, CNN has learned Thursday, raising concerns about the President's possible exposure to the virus.

The valets are members of an elite military unit dedicated to the White House and often work very close to the President and first family. Trump was upset when he was informed Wednesday that the valet had tested positive, a source told CNN, and he was subsequently tested again by the White House physician.

In a statement, the White House confirmed CNN's reporting that one of the President's valets had tested positive.

"We were recently notified by the White House Medical Unit that a member of the United States Military, who works on the White House campus, has tested positive for Coronavirus," deputy White House press secretary Hogan Gidley said in a statement. "The President and the Vice President have since tested negative for the virus and they remain in great health."

 

 

A White House source said the valet, a man who has not been identified, exhibited "symptoms" Wednesday morning, and said the news that someone close to Trump had tested positive for coronavirus was "hitting the fan" in the West Wing.

Trump, Vice President Mike Pence and the senior staffers who regularly interact with them are still being tested weekly for coronavirus, two people familiar told CNN. The White House is continuing to use the rapid Abbott Labs test, which provide results in about 15 minutes. Several officials who have received the test said it's often administered in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building, next door to the West Wing on the White House grounds. A medical official swabs the staffer's nostrils and informs them that they'll be notified within the next several minutes if it's positive.

Frankly, I'm shocked he hasn't gotten it already, as lax as he is with all of this.

Ok. so what happens if Trump and Pence both get sick from this -  Does San Fran Nan step in and assume leadership while the POTUS and the VPOTUS are on respirators??

Oh wouldn't that send Qanon over the edge?

They should probably stop talking about this 2nd wave that’s gonna hit us in the fall.

 

Things are reopening now. I predict we have the 2nd wave by the first week in June and it’s much worse.

 

It’s no wonder so many people are morons about climate change. Trying to slow that down requires a lot of foresight. We can’t even wait a couple f#&%ing months with covid. I know people are suffering (we need a stronger government response) but it’s gonna get a whole hell of a lot worse if we continue on this path, and since our federal government leadership is absolute s#!t, we definitely will.
