White House COVID Policy: Reach Herd Immunity. This, along with the President’s insatiable ego, explains the mask-free super-spreader events. Don’t believe me?:
A senior administration official told reporters in a background briefing call Monday that the proposed strategy — which has been denounced by other infectious-disease experts and has been called “fringe” and “dangerous” by National Institutes of Health Director Francis Collins — supports what has been Trump’s policy for months.
I can’t even…except to say, the devastation that Trump has wrought on both the country and the government itself will not resolve itself come Inauguration Day. Memo to Joe: Hire whoever Elizabeth Warren wants you to.
Supreme Court: Stop Census Because Trump Asked Us To. Never mind the fact that Trump himself had urged at least four different changes to the deadline–including a four-month extension. This is what he wanted now, and the Supreme Court acceded. Meaning, an undercount, and figures certified by the Trump Administration, not the Biden Administration.
Trump Counter-Programs Biden’s Town Hall. NBC is the enabler. Trump touts ratings in 3-2-1…
Yet Another Trump-Proclaimed Worst Crime Of The Century Dies With A Whimper. Not even a report. Where is Comey when he needs him?
Sen. Whitehouse Exposes The Dark Money Behind Rethug Court-Packing Push. It’s relentless, and it’s been going on for decades. Just how do Biden and the D’s plan to do unto them what they’ve done unto us?
What do you want to talk about?
Governor Carney debated his opponent last night and she provided insight into the loony bubble Republicans live in:
Julianne Murray expressed “shock” to hear a debate moderator cite a poll saying an overwhelming majority of Delawareans support wearing face coverings.
“That’s not what I’m seeing on the campaign trail,” the Republican candidate for governor said.
Ironically her closing argument was that Carney was “out of touch.” Which from anybody else would be a fair point. But he’s right on masks.
Thank you for paying attention to that debate so we didn’t have to. Your service is appreciated.
My guess is she hasn’t bothered to campaign north of the canal.
I thought the same thing. Despite the volume created by the anti-mask crowd, Delaware seems pretty at peace with wearing them. There are improvements and changes I’d like to see from the state with respect to handling coronavirus, but overall, I believe they are doing a good job.
The more I hear from Murray, the less I like her.
More debate stuff. Pretty clear divide between the two candidates https://delawarestatenews.net/government/carney-murray-spar-on-covid-restrictions-education-at-debate/
Carney is against legalizing marijuana, so he will not get my vote.
She won’t, either, but fuck him with a rusty chainsaw.
“Trump Counter-Programs Biden’s Town Hall.”
I didn’t think I would be donating to Biden this round – but Trump is forcing my hand.
The Biden camp keeps asking but my money goes to Dems running for the senate. Biden is flush with cash and they keep asking. They pumped in $30 million for Texas. I give my money to Beto in Texas and the lady running against the incumbent Senator.
Jaime Harrison gets my monthly $5.
