Biden Wins South Carolina. Dominoes Start To Fall. Steyer’s out. The corporadems, aka the so-called ‘moderates’, will no doubt beg all other so-called moderates to leave the field to Ol’ Joe. Because there’s nothing more inevitable than a candidate who has finally won one primary in three tries at the Presidency. I’m trying to recall the last time they were right…
We Might Already Have A Coronavirus Outbreak In Washington State. We, of course, don’t know because the Trump Administration has no clue as to what’s going on. BTW, I happened upon yesterday’s briefing. Trump’s total lack of interest in what’s happening here has rarely been so in evidence. His boredom is not what the country is looking for in a President.
The ‘Fiasco’ Of US Coronavirus (Non-) Testing. With new kits on the way, we will soon learn that this virus has been spreading here for over a month with nothing to stop it.
Cronyism On Trump’s Coronavirus Task Force. Not to mention, only four out of the 17 members have any background in, you know, science. Gee, I wonder what Larry Kudlow and Steve Mnuchin bring to the table? No, I don’t. They’re there to heap hosannas on Le Grand Orange while we sink deeper into the medical morass. A must-read.
What do you want to talk about?
Alex Azar: We don’t have working kits and affordable vaccines because they have to be profitable for companies to make.
Americans: Makes Perfect sense.
Rest of the World: WTF!?!?!
Yep, the corona virus will be viewed as a profit center by Big Pharma and, as ever in America, insatiable greed will rule the day. Sure, people will die, perhaps like flies, but nothing will change. I expect Trump and his minions will make a mess of it, they know nothing and at some level could care less, their primary concern will be the impact on Trump’s chances in November.
