WH Overruled CDC Recommendation | Talking Points Memo

To be fair, Iran is already doing that, although more impressive to be a major developed country and screw up.

The 2016 general election was a Black Swan event. Do you think that we can have two Black Swans this close together?

Iran’s response was also at least partially hampered by the restrictive sanctions.

Global village? Who knew? The first NY City case returned from Iran.

Why does he want to kill a large bloc of his voting base?

Trump probably heard from Stephen Miller that he would lose the election if there was high Dem turnout. Worth sacrificing a few of his supporters to keep those numbers down.

Anthony Fauci responded to the AP’s report by saying that “no one overruled anybody.”

Of course not, Trump is well known for his encouragement of the free flow of ideas, speaking openly, and rewarding innovative thinking.

I wouldn’t put it past him.

I also wouldn’t be surprised if he’d forgotten (if he ever knew) that’s the demographic with the highest support for GOP …

Anyway. How are you finding it so far, this “living in interesting times” stuff? I think the brochure was misleading…

We’re going to win so much pick up so many votes, you’re going to be so sick and tired of winning picking up votes.

Same swan, maybe?

OT----

Berners are attacking AOC because she thought Warren’s appearance on SNL was great.

They’re eating their own.

[tigersharktoo]

So now they are Tee Vee critics, too? Their expertise knows no bounds.

[castor_troy]

And then they wonder why everyone’s so dismissive of them.

Yet another way that the BernieBros are like the Trumpers and yet refuse to acknowledge it.

@thunderclapnewman

Berners are attacking AOC because she thought Warren’s appearance on SNL was great.

They’re eating their own.

Or expressing a different opinion.

Might feel strange to some people but it’s probably OK.

Bernie showed his commitment to unity and the Democratic Party this week by spending an hour of Fox News prime time trashing Biden.

@littlegirlblue

What’s on second and I Don’t Know is on third.

Exactly.

Would be funny if there wasn’t a better than even chance that actual conversation happened.

You may have missed the part where AOC was a bernie-backed protege who also has endorsed him in this election.

So it’s literally eating your own to say that she can’t compliment another Democrat about anything.

@castor_troy

You may have missed the part where AOC was […]

Yes, I may have missed that part. Is that your guess?

[birdford]

It’s like watching a slow motion train wreck coming right at you, much like the Trump administration itself.

[castor_troy]

I’m just giving you the benefit of the doubt.

Because either you didn’t know it, in which case it’s a legitimate question for you to have raised, or you did know it, in which case you’re just being contrarian for no good reason.

I see where you went so tragically wrong.
