Cuomo is on live now, giving a master class on being presidential and leadership. This has got to be burning Trump up.

With the number of reported cases and deaths doubling or tripling every few days, we will hear more and more names we recognize, along with the tens and hundreds of thousands we won’t.

And Trump getting ready to say, “Hey, everybody back to work. Fill those elevators and offices and work stations. There’s no longer a problem.” (kind of like North Korea is no longer a nuclear threat, or ISIS has been defeated)

“As everyone is aware, there are test shortages for people who need them everywhere and I don’t qualify to get one under any standard,” Klobuchar said in the statement.

It’s heartening to see her do the responsible thing.
Not that I expect this to lead to a change in the privilege’s behavior.
It’s hard to engender shame in people who don’t feel it.

Whoever is potentially the next Vice President is also potentially the 47th President.

Hubby has been on a 2-week break from having staplers thrown at him and dreamed this up to get another couple free weeks to kick back on the couch.

(Joking aside, of course all the best wishes for recovery for the folks on our side)

When you take ‘no responsibility’ it really doesn’t matter how many people die.

Nor does it matter when you just don’t care about anyone but yourself.

Coronavirus may just be karma, because it’s the type of thing that teaches you that caring for others is caring for yourself.

I like the sound.

But, still not the results.

This sounds serious. I’m grateful he has no need for a ventilator at this time, and wish him and the Klobuchar family the very best.

I’m certain this will only redouble Senator Klobuchar’s efforts to fight for strong public health and economic policies that work for the American people.

That is a shocker.

It seems unlikely to me that Trump would recognize competent leadership if it smacked him in the forehead.
