I’m sensing a theme here with Trump in regards to his niece Mary’s book, Bolton’s book, WH or Administration personnel and heads testifying, and the leaks.
Trump had no fucking idea what the responsibilities of being President were. He figured it would be some sort of PR, head of nation spokesperson type of job.
So I can see where Republicans thought “Hey, if we get this guy elected he distract from what we’re doing/passing/instigating”. And this is from the party obsessed with Benghazi and Hillary’s emails.
So what’s amazing to me is now that we are at 6 months of knowing about COVID-19 is those who are Republicans in positions power have stepped up, stepped up and then backed down, and those who have followed Trump’s playbook titled “I’m Not Responsible-For Anything”.
America First…America First…America First. We will show the rest of the planet how the Covid-19 Party is done.
Ware a mask and practice social distancing and wash your hands often.
Well someone I used to work with posted yesterday that even though she had been working through the pandemic that she was being let go. Then there are been several stories on companies reducing employee’s hours, or cutting their pay by a small percent. All which doesn’t help if you were living paycheck to paycheck before the pandemic.
As for the grocery pickers that were hired by companies like Instacart I’m not seeing as many of them in the grocery stores. But places like Target where they had the order it and pick up the same day, delivery to your car type of thing has expanded greatly.
All I can say is “It’s Alabama”.
Kollege stoodents?
it must have been those Russian roulette majors again.
I think you mis-spelled “how to get the automation in place”.
The White House is going to look like the houses in Whoville after 45* and Melania decamp.
Which has been ENTIRELY successful. When was the last time you saw a news broadcast about global warming, pollution, war in another country, anything, other than what 45* said or tweeted.
Oh you’re just a bundle of sunshine today.
Well the impeachment and the pandemic has taken the spotlight off of Trump’s maladministration’s gutting rules and regulations over pretty much anything. The amount of work the Senate hasn’t done because-JUDGES! And it may just be my imagination or faulty memory but Trump did’t seem to get invited to go visit foreign leaders in their countries all that much after the initial round, and keen observation of his behavior. Do you think in your heart of hearts Trump is moping because Vlad hasn’t invited him to Russia?
The neurological effects of covid don’t get nearly enough discussion. A recent NYT article mentions covid delirium, but the mind games even in mild cases. A close acquaintance experienced white flashes during dreaming unlike anything he had ever experienced very early on when symptoms like fatigue, aches and sweating were just emerging. Not very helpfully, the BBC comments
Sars and Mers, which are both caused by coronaviruses, were associated with some neurological disease, but we’ve never seen anything like this before," Dr Michael Zandi, consultant neurologist at the NHNN, told me. “The closest comparison is the 1918 flu pandemic. We saw then there was a lot of brain disease and problems that emerged over the next 10-20 years.”
Arizona is never famous for a good thing. The last time we were mentioned this much on the national news it was because of SB 1070, the infamous anti-immigrant “papers please” law (dreamed up by Kris Kobach, I believe) that was eventually found to be unconstitutional.
When we shit the bed, we DO NOT fool around.
There can be no question that Trump is guilty of murder for letting Covid19 blow out of control. I hope he rots in hell along with the rest of his family. None of them gives a rats ass about American people and even less about our military.
Gave up on news casts when the news divisions were merged with the entertainment folks. At one time the broadcast news was good we are long long past those days. Last time I saw a local news report (Knoxville) the came back from a 4 minute commercial break about 18 minutes into the 1/2 hour broadcast. Then had a feel good story that maybe lasted 12/15 seconds and said that is all the time we’ve got and went to a 5+ minute commercial break.
Weird. Not this one, but Keep seeing @JoshMarshall post Tpm Prime stories on Covid.
Thought those were promised to be outside the paywall?
I didn’t realized that movie theaters and restaurants in parts of California had re-opened. That being said, if you look where the spiking levels of infection are in California, they mirror those in Washington and Oregon to some degree - ag areas with a high concentration of migrant laborers who have little to no chance of maintaining “social distancing.”

This was always, and remains, BS.
Presumably, if something about the heat would limit the virus, we would see the effect in the tropics. We don’t and never have: case counts were high in Ecuador during the original run of infections in NYC. As I understand it, Indonesia is currently seeing a major spike in cases.
It’s less an employment slight of hand. My son was hired by a local grocery store that is part of the Kroger chain as an e-order filler, as were a number of his friends, because of the increased demand of online sales. His hours have already been cut back because the number of online orders have declined significantly. None of the full-time staff that he or his classmates were working with were displaced by new hires.
