And would that show that the approval was delayed for a political reason, to push against Trump?
Actually it was an amazing con job by Pence.
His CoS told him to play on Trump’s penchant for FEDERALISM.
In case you missed it, Trump was the most Federalist president since Washington, always saying “Congress/States this is your job. Do it. But if you won’t do it, I will.” Of course, they didn’t.
So here comes China Virus and Pence’s CoS tells Pence to push for a “federalist” approach whereby the STATES control the policies. Sounded good. One small problem: no state had medical authorities/expertise/wherewithal to actually do it. So the states immediately turned around and sought out . . . Dr. Fallacy and the CDC/NIH. I guess if you need to blame someone, blame the states.
Thanks for the book recommendations.
Shocking is an understatement. And this is just the beginning.
Sorry about the extra posts. Keyboard malfunction. :-)
Your fantasies are entertaining.
Amuse me further, human.
Back to where you oozed from, you sad abusive thing.
