So Trump’s not Hitler yet, after all.
Only in his fevered mind.

As I said yesterday just a little kabuki love dance between Cornyn , Cruz and Trump.
Planned from the git go.

Does HHS believe the virus will simply vanish from Texas in two weeks? And what about the other states? Why ONLY Texas?

+10 in PA I guess is too much effort. Still spending lots of money on commercials here though.

Agreed…in fact that’s part of why it took so long. You put the federal government “on the hook” for supporting testing in Texas, it’ll be a lot tougher to explain why dying Arizonans and Floridians don’t get the same help. Why, it could even give people “ideas” that the feds have some “responsibility” for the “common welfare of the country” or something…

Trump is still stuck in the 1980s, isn’t he? Not that I’m surprised.

It’s pretty cool that Trump is powerless and really looks powerless to boot. Nobody listens to him. Nobody does what he asks.

It’s kind of a constitutional crisis, but it’s really more like babysitting an evil 3 year old.

Two weeks is spitting in the fire.

This was done for one reason and one reason only: “Polling shows President Cartman trailing in Texas.”

Therefore he retreats from pulling support in Texas (for two weeks until the MSM is on to the next “shiny object”, then they will quietly pull the support anyway.)

They are STILL pulling support for testing from the other states.

Dallas County just reported 496 positive tests for the day. Es no bueno.

Good job TPM!

You’ll know you’ve really made it when the orangutan droppings with a bad comb-over starts yelling about you as fake news and enemies of the people in the same breath as CNN…

“Can’t put two sentences together.” “Radical fringe group of lunatics.” Always always always projection with Cheetoh Voldemort.

Fucking 41 sites for a population of over 300 million. That was criminal right out of the gate. They should have set up about 41,000 sites.

Why only 5? Which 5 and why? Is he hanging Houston out to dry because it’s the liberal city?

Excuse me - Houston is not more liberal than Dallas which went blue years before Houston.
