Yup. They could have actors re-enacting actual House and Senate proceedings for the tourists. Create more jobs. Win-Win.

Mostly Republicans and reporters.

Yet no reporters reporting/screaming they tested positive.

How coincidental, Trump and others in his administration coming down with the china flu, presidential election in 30 days, rally’s off the hook for trump, hearings on supreme court judge.

I agree. It’s not coincidence.
It’s an arrow from vile Pelosi’s quiver.
A deep state arrow.

It’s not a coincidence. The Dems are desperate to remove Trump from office any way they can.

A few years ago I would call my suspicion a conspiracy. The last several years have taught me not to be shocked by anything.
