Maryland Gov. Larry Hogan (R) got candid on Tuesday when asked about President Donald Trump’s claim that there haven’t been issues with the chaotic testing system during the COVID-19 outbreak.
What’s this? Some good Republicans? Do you think this is a trend???
Repost from Fauci thread
Just dove in the twitter thread that Josh referred to in his latest Edblog on rosy scenarios…
They assume Wuhan social distancing response for measures that are not even close…
The curves appear to be the confidence interval on the best-case scenario…
I wish I had the shit they are smoking in my steadily dwindling stash…

I suppose that reality still intrudes on some Republicans. Good to see but it still feels a little late…though that’s better than the alternative.
Though he’s ‘proto Trump’, I’m going to miss Hogan, when he decides to retire.
Churchill:
“I have nothing to offer but blood, toil, tears and sweat.”
Trump:
“Don’t call”
“Ask not what your country can do for you. Ask what it can do for me.”
A very, very minor trend. I think the number tops out at three.
Shocking. Trump lied about a(nother) problematic issue to make himself look better.
I’ve got a friend who is running testing at a large university in a southern state. He said they ran out of reagent for testing days ago and can’t even test.
The Trump admin and southern states (FL, GA, TN, TX, MS, AL, SC) don’t want to be testing b/c it’s going to show how f*cked those states are. I predict FL is going to spike hugely in the coming week to 14 days (and I’m not the only one).
Unfortunately, the Catch 22 here is that b/c they are hiding it, they are making it harder to stop once everyone catches on to their failures. And then those states are going to screw the rest of us who are doing the right thing now. We’ll all be in this longer.
They just can’t bring themselves to do the right thing up front. It’s lie, avoid, blame, lie, avoid blame. Oh shit!
It is Washington State. So their supply is unlimited, and legal!
There’s the issue of whether testing remains a problem. It remains a huge problem. So Trump’s wrong about that.
But there’s also the issue of whether Trump has heard about testing being a problem. Either he heard it, and ignored it, or he hasn’t heard. Both possibilities represent major problems. It seems very likely to me that he’s not hearing about the problem, because, duh, he could hardly have made it clearer that he doesn’t want to hear about problems. “We don’t like the complaints.”
Just one thread in the enormous weave of the Trumpworld clusterfuck in responding to this crisis.
But but but…Jared needs to set up their profit-stream from the ventilators and drugs first…
The entire family should be tried and hanged.
Only in that he is soon to be excommunicated from the party for contradicting Dear Leader.
And the pot stores are considered essential!!
I was so hoping . . .
If only the Dotard had been able to contain the corona virus as effectively…
So what is up with this. I know she said something a while back and what she is saying now is different and worse. And she also has been working for Sanders. Just interesting that nothing has come up here yet. I’m hoping bs for Biden and also for her. Granted if fake that’s not a good thing for her either, though maybe less bad.
