Yeah, what a maroon. Flew across the world to spew that nonsense? Get real, and now get gone.

Fly Navy.

One of the journos asked about this and Fauci talked about this in the press conference tonight. They are redistributing the supplies to where they need to go rather than allow hospitals to stockpile.

It makes sense to me. Seems that there’s a ton of literal chaos within the system.

The memo was circulated in late January, the same time Trump was insisting the issue was "under control."

"I don’t think it would’ve changed it, because I basically did what the memo said," Trump said, referring to his decision at the end of January to restrict travel from China.

Trump said he read about the memos, which were published by Axios late Monday night, "maybe a day ago."

He praised Navarro and asserted the two had "the same instincts" on the issue.

"It was a feeling that he had. I think he told certain people on the staff," Trump said. "I didn't see it."
That’s the kind of blowhard stuff I hate on this. There’s just no way he and Navarro had the same feeling about the pandemic.

I think one of the issues I'm seeing is the fed telling states to figure it out on their own. Then states buy their own stuff which then gets seized by the feds to redistribute under their terms. So, why tell the states to figure it out on their own? I was seeing articles about how states had to get creative to make sure they actually received the PPE and other materials they bought. That should not be how it's done.

Don't want @NailedPenguin to miss my Hannity commentary tonight.

He's talking like this is all over and Trump won.

I had to pick up meds today and they had a sign at the counter noting that they are limiting the amount of hydroxychloroquine that you can buy. Who is writing prescriptions of this for non-infected people?

Hannity is the worst of the worst shills. He has been spending months downplaying COVID-19 as an attack against Trump and acting like he has medical credentials. He should have his show pulled IMO as I can only imagine how many deaths his sycophancy caused earlier this year.

Wisconsin Assembly Speaker Robin Vos, a Republican, wore a mask, gloves and other protective gear as he sought to assure voters it was "incredibly safe" to vote in person for Tuesday's election amid the coronavirus pandemic.

I'm pleased and happy to repeat the news that we have, in fact, prematurely promoted a miracle cure that supposedly injured some dopes. But, as you see, it's a beautiful day, the beaches are open and people are having a wonderful time. Amity, as you know, means "friendship".

Is every news organization in America underwritten by China?

Why would you air this straight propaganda stuff?

Definitely the right time to be ranting about the post office.

Does he understand that part of making the post office more "efficient" would be to slash service to rural america?

Isnt the root of the post office's fiscal problems the giant pension liability that they are legally obligated to pay? I thought i read once that they are, for whatever reason, the only government entity that is legally required to have a fully funded pension.

Like in most things, the boomer generation is lavishing in benefits while the new hires are brought on differently and are not going to be awarded the same treatment.
