I see now:

China and the WHO's chief: Hold them both accountable for pandemic

Take them to court in The Hague? Cut them off economically? Go to war with them?

The world moves all supply chains away from China destroying them economically.

If we aren't going to tolerate China's bullshit, (I agree we shouldn't) we can't tolerate our own government being a pack of greedy pigs first, or that won't happen.

Trump is putting on a startling display of incompetence. That's nothing new. being dismissive of the survival of our citizens, putting them on the back burner unless their representatives kiss his ass, is evil.

China is lying about their numbers. So would Trump if he were able to control that narrative. If Americans accept **** like this going forward, then the USA is already a supervillain with a bunch of fanatical, expendable automatons.

If this is implying that the federal government isn’t supplying blue states properly but supplying red states, then Oklahoma would disagree with this. Our state received 10% of what they ordered and most of the equipment was expired.

[AuthorTony]

I don't think it's red v blue so much as pointing out that Trump's new home state of FL is getting all they way, and more while other states get fractions of what they need.

Yeah, if Mar-A-Lago was a ski lodge near Aspen those numbers would be different.

The stimulus bill includes a tax break for the 1%

That's a bad article

Depreciation: the accounting principal you learn in high school Accounting I class that is used by the 1% to fleece taxpayers *insert jerking motion here*

If any of this “kiss the ring” stuff is proveable, at what point does it become a crime?

Not saying it’s happening one way or the other, I just think the allegations thrown around are incredibly serious.

[Kaiser]

About the same time anything he does is a crime.

[Sam's Drunk Dog]

Yea, I don't see the Republican Senate voting to remove Trump from office anytime soon

Not saying it’s happening one way or the other, I just think the allegations thrown around are incredibly serious.

It's safe to say, at least in the case of Govs Inslee and "that woman in Michigan", that they aren't allegations. He repeated it more or less in the open on live global television.

He just wants the govs to do them a favor and kiss the ring. No bigs.

I think some of this will have repercussions in November for trump in certain states, especially Michigan. Many things he does or says target other countries or certain groups of people. This is targeting specific states, and those residents may have a different reaction now.

[Gaucho]

Did he win Michigan in 2016?

[MWB]

Trump won by 11000.

Can you imagine being so deranged as to be enthusiastic about Biden?

Didn't dr fauci as recently as mid February say the threat of getting coronavirus in the us is miniscule?

If that testing shows the virus has slipped into the country in places federal officials don't know about, "we've got a problem," Dr. Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, told USA TODAY's Editorial Board Monday.
