In reply to Trump: 100,000 US Dead will be "Very good job"

Trump adviser working with WH officials on messaging for pandemic said Trump “took a gamble” that warmer weather would cause Coronavirus to dissipate, siding with aides pushing back on dire warnings coming from doctors. "He took a gamble and got it wrong,” adviser said.

This was three weeks ago. What was coming was knowable. It was known to people around you. You were told. You were in denial. We are paying a terrible price for your willful irresponsibility and narcissistic fecklessness.

More seriously interesting point on that ignored in questioning him because it's a sticky wicket for both conservatives and liberals,and the faux drama about personal feuding between Trump and reporters is easy and gets ratings, after all. What suffers in the end? Real solutions.

Conservative activists generally believe that the government shouldn't interfere with markets, while liberal activists are uncomfortable with nationalistic policy that prioritizes Americans. So the consensus meets and we get this https://t.co/PzShDYwgMI

"By the end of the day, roughly 280 million masks from warehouses around the U.S. had been purchased by foreign buyers and were earmarked to leave the country, according to the broker — and that was in one day."

Fox News Can’t Easily Be Sued Over COVID-19 Coverage, Despite Supposed ‘Real Concern’ at the Network

Legal Analysis by Aaron Keller @ LawandCrime.com | 5:14 pm, March 31st, 2020

There has been some criticism, as perhaps you’ve noticed, over the way several Fox News programs, guests, and hosts have handled coverage of the COVID-19 pandemic. Vanity Fair Special Correspondent Gabriel Sherman sounded a vague alarm of liability days ago on MSNBC.

I beg to differ....Shirtless Joe Biden and the trans-am will never grow old (unlike Biden himself...) Parenthetically, how sharper than the serpent's tooth it is to have to choose between two senile candidates!
