Why would anyone expect a pandemic to influence a political party beholden to power for power’s sake?
The GOP worships authoritarian principles of inequality. And will lie and steal to acquire it.

The stock market is not a leading economic indicator…until it is. Those that are invested in the market are ‘winning’ and seem to ‘think’ that is enough…either that or they put their blinders on and pretend it is. The GOP remains ‘loyal’ because the corporations and lobbyists prop them up…the great unwashed are ‘moochers’. When in reality … but enough about THAT!

And lobbying groups are suffering how?

Stephanie Ruhle once again pointed that out most emphatically this morning while noting the high numbers of people still out of work!

The photo accompanying this article is an interesting one. Note that both Senators Rubio and Collins were members of the Senate Intelligence Committee that was shown damning evidence of collusion between the President’s closest advisors and the Russians. They did nothing. They hid. They lied to the US citizens. They orchestrated a cover-up. They both, among others, need to be publicly tried for treason.

It’s what birthed them. These are the same characters that went to the guillotine.

That sounds great to me. Treason is what it is - they are allowing our subversion as a country.

Profit-takers rarely think long term.
The GOP is beholden to corporations and “opened the economy” in a way that prolonged economic instability – thereby crowning their neglect of human health with increasing the damage to the corporate bottom line. And that’s because a sole focus on $$$ leads one to open the restaurant to serve the $100 dinners now, even if it kills the customer base and means one has to close down for much longer later.
All those zombie movies? They are about the GOP.

No, just someone interested in the rule of law and our constitution. The trial should be public for all to watch and deal with facts. Big difference. Our current president is not grounded in reality and simply makes stuff up.

Really, now? Because the elements of the offense of treason do not include the conduct alleged. They have, by their actions as described by you, violated no law whatsoever.
You appear to confuse the rule of law with your own preferences and prejudices, Madame Defarge.

No, I don’t think so:
[USC02] 18 USC Ch. 115: TREASON, SEDITION, AND …
uscode.house.gov
§2381. Treason
Whoever, owing allegiance to the United States, levies war against them or adheres to their enemies, giving them aid and comfort within the United States or elsewhere, is guilty of treason and shall suffer death, or shall be imprisoned not less than five years and fined under this title but not less than $10,000; and shall be incapable of holding any office under the United States.
They are not alone, just a little worse.

The second item is heartbreaking – and it states that both Biden and Harris expressed support for dropping the handouts to Big Oil. There’s a question that needs to be asked to their campaigns over and over for the next day.

Putting the statute in bold doesn’t change things, I’m afraid. Crimes galore, but it’s not treason.
Tell you what, while I snigger at your certainty, you can try to change my mind with a short [letter-style] brief. Show me some cases. Good luck.
