EXCLUSIVE: Feds About To Bail On Supporting COVID Testing Sites In Texas And Other States | Talking Points Memo

Dunno if it qualifies as genocide, typically that’s reserved for actively killing people and not passively.

But there’s certainly a big possibility of some sort of charges for people on the initial coverups and response, especially where the financial profiteering is involved.

However horrid it is, his limiting or ending federal funding would appear to be legal.

How’s your goddaughter doing?

the federal gov’t is not abandoning these states and retreating from the field of battle … it’s advancing in an unexpected direction, from which the virus will never see it coming! Genius!

I suspect there is some part in his primitive brain that senses the gig is up, which his conscious interprets as “burn it all down”.

Indeed. What POSSIBLE logic are they using here to think it helps them? I’d really love to know.

After spending a week assuming I picked it up from the Trump Supporter I work for here in Austin, I now have a fever and feel like crap. He said I need to get tested before I come back, but I don’t know why as I’m assuming everyone else there has it already because it’s a small office and nobody wears masks. If they didn’t get it from him, they got it from me yesterday.

This sucks. I’m hoping this is as bad as it gets, but I’m fully prepared to die at home due to my lack of insurance and will haunt this house forever. This is the dumbest life I’ve ever lived.

The media needs to go back to covering the overloaded hospitals in Arizona and interviewing the health care workers and their families. The sad part of this is that the news media has become so hollowed-out that to some extent they have followed Trump’s pivot. Headlines about re-openings often say things like “Baseball making progress…” or “Bars finally open…” adopting the framing that the health of the economy should be our sole concern. Local coverage of the re-opening of businesses has drowned out the coverage of the pain and grief that the pandemic is causing – is it any wonder that so few Americans are bothering to wear masks?

Trump: “I don’t take responsibility at all”

Trump is providing astonishing evidence that he is working on several levels simultaneously regarding COVID.

  1. Grossly incompetent and deluded
  2. Concerned as to how the pandemic will reflect on his re-relection chances.
  3. Has a death cult belief that the fittest will survive and all others should go extinct.

Meanwhile he is trying to generate a race war coupled with a complete break down of society.

There is little to say otherwise. This guy is the bus driver taking us over the cliff.

When his time comes, in lieu of burial or cremation, I will go with the idea of through a wood chipper and mulching in the rankest cess pool that can be found. A small plaque can commemorate his place of internment.

Anyone have links to confirming stories? All I can find is the old stuff from April.

I haven’t talked to her today yet. She was really sick yesterday and managed to get a swab but we won’t know til the results come back and that takes time. They told her there had been a sharp increase in positive tests there - she’s in Hood Co which is next to Tarrant Co.

Thanks for asking.

There is - it is as plain as the nose on your face. Depraved indifference - whatever you want to call it.

He should be dragged out of there
