Trump his hammering Biden on Maria. He is going to force Biden to explain why he lied to Steponallofus that he knew nothing and the next day exposed for unmasking Flynn. Why did you unmask #SloJoe?
White House trade adviser Peter Navarro said Sunday that he was “glad Mr. Obama has a new job as Joe Biden’s press secretary.”
The comment came after ABC’s George Stephanopoulos asked Navarro to respond to the former president saying during a commencement address that things are “screwed up” because leaders are doing “what feels good, what’s convenient, what’s easy.”
Once he elected, the V.P. can take over and put another woman in as V.P. We will than have a Woman President, Woman V.P. and Pelosi the head of Congress maybe."

If Hillary gets it will they throw her into a hearse like a side of beef?
Not for nothing can I get that link to work. Shut down my computer twice.
I think he’ll be replaced by the voters at the first chance they get.
While he probably won’t be replaced by a Republican, you bet some hungry democrap will primary him.
The whole family vacations while Illinoiseans are forced stay in lockdown with travel restrictions is death to his career.
Pelosi has to be the worse Speaker in the history of the country. How did this country get such a person, in times like these?
Revenge against Trump, and not enough people realizing the true depth of depravity the Dems are capable of.
This version is in your face, not Slick Willy, or Orator Barry.
They put it out there “ cloaked in weasel caring words” but its all about power...
Everything that can be done wrong is done there. There is no herd immunity rather herd diseases, little stimulation,no hope for residents, everything bad about being alive occurrs at a nursing home and the ages are all high. People come there basically to die,sad places to be.
you wake up one morning and discover the $800 a week promised you never came and you have no job
As you know as an employer, the feel good only lasts for a brief moment.
The entrepreneurs was their freedom to create and earn back.
Pelosi’s big spend is like giving a “ fix “ to an addict. All feel good, and just another step into doom.
I find it telling that Herr Whitmer is not releasing the numbers here, could it be because she did the same as her mentor? ( Fredos brother)
DJT now talking about virus coming from China, should never have let this happen.
No more negotiations with China. Not interested in speaking with Xi.
“China’s not the only country ripping us off.”

Trump is on fire on Maria. She keeps interrupting but he is getting his points in with absolute focus on the scandal.

Yet here we are today, with another 2 doctors ( Fauci and Birx) who aren’t virologists or infectious disease specialists( they are internists) promoting masks, social distancing and the shutdown of the economy.
Thought I heard on Fox alot of the BernieBros are refusing to support Joe?
Disease Mitigation Measures in the Control of Pandemic Influenza
Freom the report:
Their paper is a remarkably readable refutation of the entire lock-down model.
There are no historical observations or scientific studies that support the confinement by quarantine of groups of possibly infected people for extended periods in order to slow the spread of influenza. … It is difficult to identify circumstances in the past half-century when large-scale quarantine has been effectively used in the control of any disease. The negative consequences of large-scale quarantine are so extreme (forced confinement of sick people with the well; complete restriction of movement of large populations; difficulty in getting critical supplies, medicines, and food to people inside the quarantine zone) that this mitigation measure should be eliminated from serious consideration…
Home quarantine also raises ethical questions. Implementation of home quarantine could result in healthy, uninfected people being placed at risk of infection from sick household members. Practices to reduce the chance of transmission (hand-washing, maintaining a distance of 3 feet from infected people, etc.) could be recommended, but a policy imposing home quarantine would preclude, for example, sending healthy children to stay with relatives when a family member becomes ill. Such a policy would also be particularly hard on and dangerous to people living in close quarters, where the risk of infection would be heightened….
Travel restrictions, such as closing airports and screening travelers at borders, have historically been ineffective. The World Health Organization Writing Group concluded that “screening and quarantining entering travelers at international borders did not substantially delay virus introduction in past pandemics . . . and will likely be even less effective in the modern era.”… It is reasonable to assume that the economic costs of shutting down air or train travel would be very high, and the societal costs involved in interrupting all air or train travel would be extreme. …
During seasonal influenza epidemics, public events with an expected large attendance have sometimes been cancelled or postponed, the rationale being to decrease the number of contacts with those who might be contagious. There are, however, no certain indications that these actions have had any definitive effect on the severity or duration of an epidemic. Were consideration to be given to doing this on a more extensive scale and for an extended period, questions immediately arise as to how many such events would be affected. There are many social gatherings that involve close contacts among people, and this prohibition might include church services, athletic events, perhaps all meetings of more than 100 people. It might mean closing theaters, restaurants, malls, large stores, and bars. Implementing such measures would have seriously disruptive consequences…
Schools are often closed for 1–2 weeks early in the development of seasonal community outbreaks of influenza primarily because of high absentee rates, especially in elementary schools, and because of illness among teachers. This would seem reasonable on practical grounds. However, to close schools for longer periods is not only impracticable but carries the possibility of a serious adverse outcome….
Thus, cancelling or postponing large meetings would not be likely to have any significant effect on the development of the epidemic. While local concerns may result in the closure of particular events for logical reasons, a policy directing community-wide closure of public events seems inadvisable. Quarantine. As experience shows, there is no basis for recommending quarantine either of groups or individuals. The problems in implementing such measures are formidable, and secondary effects of absenteeism and community disruption as well as possible adverse consequences, such as loss of public trust in government and stigmatization of quarantined people and groups, are likely to be considerable….
Can Cuomo get sued for forcing sick people into nursing homes and denying the malaria drug?
Odd. I checked the link and it works for me.
