And my bet, the South Koreans or Germans will be the first to develop and test a Covid-19 vaccine.

I think the presumption has to be that this guy was never a Seal; he was probably never even in the U.S. Navy. Maybe in that other Navy:

I pointed out TPM is NOT focusing on it. I didn’t complain that they were focusing on it and other things. Its complete ABSENCE is the problem.

How does this work with all the governors having declared emergencies? Can he force people back to work? Will we have people getting fired because they obeyed their governor rather than Trump?

Nobody does death panels quite like the republicans.
Paul Ryan quit a year early and missed his golden opportunity to push granny off the cliff in real time.

In a month there are going to be a whole lot of poor people that have immunity to this disease, and they are going to be cleaning the houses and delivering the food to rich assholes like this.
I am not suggesting anything, but if they want to do something, they should do it before a cure is found.

He declares “I won, I fixed it, everyone back to work, the risk is minimal, the economy is more important” and then suddenly, 40% of the imbeciles in your state are running around in the streets again, ignoring anything the governor has to say because “freedom” “socialists” and “we the people.” Lawsuits will be filed against governors for violating civil rights, Faux News ramps up accusations of liberal governors trying to use this to unnecessarily kill the economy to hurt Trump, special interest groups like Judicial Watch start filing lawsuits and FOIA requests to prove it, state GOP parties lose their fucking minds and start playing games in state legislatures, businesses start complaining and then laying people off for not showing up to work, and the Dems get caught flatfooted with no messaging game.

No. He can only undermine the governors and the effectiveness of the shelter in place orders.

Well you know, sometimes Death = Freedom.

Oh that’s easy. Make your vote permanent, then have the Dearly Departed leave their votes to the Republican party in their wills. To make it even easier, the lawyers will create a new class of “Dying Trusts”. These are just like living trusts, but take effect while you’re still alive so the beneficiary can start casting your bequeathed vote immediately, without all that pesky processing of wills and probate and stuff…

I’m usually the first to insist that no one should pay the least bit of attention to Tucker Carlson under any circumstances, but occasionally it’s interesting to see him try to process grinding cognitive dissonance.

He’s part of the trial balloon contingent for the “it’s okay if we lose 2.5% of our population as long as stock prices stabilize” plan that Trump is pushing.
It’s not like this hasn’t already been circulating among the folks on the right (who believe themselves immune) – Rick Santelli put it out there less than three weeks ago.
Trump started down this track a long time ago – his focus in on markets, not people.
Also, his personal cash flow has got to be hurting with the shut-down of all his signature properties – he can’t even golf at Mar a Cesspool. I suspect that we won’t need to actually see his tax returns if he can’t get the cash spigot back on at his hotels – the house of cards he’s built is about to come crashing down without that $500 Billion slush fund to tap into.

Who’s the female backup singer on the Todd Snider cover – kind of sounds like Dolly Parton. Could it be her?
Oh how I wish that headline were literally true.

Being a compassionate conservative, he suggested his economic policy begin with his wife’s mother.

I’d prefer not to just “hope”, but rather the Dems start to re-brand republicans with their own words with a national marketing strategy.

Exactly. “Pro-Life” is their framing.

This is being used and manipulated to un-purple places by killing off inconvenient voters. Just. Watch.
