COVID Testing Czar Warns Country Is In ‘Absolutely Dangerous Situation’ | Talking Points Memo

WTF with this guy? Doesn’t he understand that right know the only thing that matters is finding evidence of the massive electoral fraud that dear leader has been victim of?

There will be a grim equilibrium at some point, when the hospitals close to new patients, and enough Trumpies realize that they will die in the streets or their homes because of their own negligence. Commerce will halt, lockdowns are not necessary at that point - just like swimmers on a beach run for cover when they see the wave about to crest.

Recall in February 2020, that people stopped shopping and eating out at least two
weeks BEFORE the lockdowns went into place because of fear of the coming plague. The stupids in the hinterlands will have to see lots of dead bodies to “get it”, but if we lose another 300,000 before New Years Day, everything will come to a screeching halt.

If it came to it, I’m not worried about this house selling. But you’d have to persuade my husband first and I bid you the best of luck.

You have no idea what stubborn actually means until you meet him, especially if you meet him head on with something he adamantly does not want to do. hahahaha

Yeah. He keeps trying to say we’re turning the corner, although of course when he’s actually braying it out he keeps saying “rounding the turn,” or “turning the bend” or some other mangling of the idiom (cough) dementia (cough).

In other news, as far as I can tell the judge has heard enough and seems to be shutting Rudy et al.'s lawsuit down. Hearing tomorrow canceled, and it seems like everybody needs to turn their cards up and show what they have by the end of the week.

Hey, remember back when Trump was saying that the Democrat virus hoax would disappear as soon as the election was over? And a bunch of other GOPers (yoo hoo, Senator Cruz, we have it on video, you feckless bastard) said the same thing?

So, what’s up with that, now?

I don’t know how the county judges who have the responsibility for health crises keep from going insane in the face of this shit. Ours is a Democrat and Abbott will barely speak to him. I know that the judge in Harris Co. is a Democrat and is trying her best. Not only will they not let the counties and cities do the right things, they fight us in court. El Paso is unspeakable at this point and they took them to court over restrictions. It’s unreal, emiliano. It is so hard to believe this is the country I grew up in.

Here in PA our Repub Congress accuse Gov Wolf of crying wolf as they watch people die.
As long as they are in power they could care less.

You know, in my lifetime, I have walked away from 3 houses I owned, without making a penny from them, and not gaining a penny from them. Just remember that paper losses are, in the end, just paper. :grin:

Thank you very much, now you need to be on right wing media saying it loud and more importantly often. These people are going to kill all of us.

As I have said more than oncd trump ain’t helping. He is deliberately not helping. He thinks herd immunity is ok not believing that it would destroy the nation (it would). He doesn’t get that it would mean 14 million dead in a year. Then again he doesn’t have any feeling about the dead. Even his younger brother recently died and “meh” … move on

I think Trump knows how dangerous it is, that people are dying, and says “Good! They deserve to die because they wouldn’t re-elect and worship me.”

Perhaps Trump is treating the nation’s health in the same manner. Creating too many fires to put out.
