Trump is has already caused his 21,000th Benghazi so far this year. All he accomplishes is putrefaction and decay.

The GOP says fuck American babies. Republicans need money to stay in power and avoid prosecution, most of all trump.

She is a delight.

What did the Obama Administration do with the "unmasking?"

Follow the documented evidence . The unmasking of Flynn started after Trump named  the General to become his National Security AdVisor in November of 2016.  This was just days after Obama personally advised Trump  not to. From the middle of November almost to Inauguration Day 50 unmasking requests were made by 39 Obama administration officials. The list was published yesterday.  Not all of them were granted. UN Ambassador Samantha Power asked 7 times.( later she said she doesn’t recall asking at all)
Joe Biden asked on January 8, 2017- a week before becoming a private citizen.
The now infamous Flynn/Kisylak meeting happened in December so why did the unmasking requests start in November. Simple. The spying on the Trump Campaign was doomed to fail if Flynn was National Security Advisor. He had to go. As soon as the Kislyak connection was made the classified info was leaked to the Washington Post( illegal, someone will be going to jail for that). At about the same time Jim Comey began his push to get a special prosecutor appointed(while coaxing FISA warrants by pushing a phoney dossier paid for by Hillary Clinton) to investigate “ collusion”, then Flynn was trapped into a lie, Jeff Sessions recused himself from overseeing the Investigation soon to be headed by Robert Mueller. Interestingly every Obama official called to testify before Congress(under oath) admitted they saw no collusion. Neither did Mueller when it was all over. 
Now we see the spotlight being turned on the hole hiding the gang of Obama partisans. Biden’s hilarious interview with ABC this week does not bode well for his or the party’s future.

When you’re an incumbent you usually spend the Spring of an election year trying to expand your support beyond your base.

Trying to fire up the MAGA claque at this stage of the game reeks of flop sweat.

I don’t know why anyone bothers to present any fact to you.

So NOW the CDC releases guidelines for ‘reopening (sacrificing) the country.’

This Administration is throwing people away for the sake of Trumps vanity.

Remember the whole “MASK/No Mask” back forth most of y’all had with Bo?

This Administration had information and only sowed confusion when they should have been uniting the people.

Then when they saw WHO was getting wiped away well...

But as I’ve been saying in here for weeks there is a prairie fire raging and the heartland ain’t ready.

If you are religiously observant pray for lives of our fellow citizens here and around the world, and pray for the souls of those who don’t give a fuck about them or the rest of us

New Hampshire has begun opening up, slowly.

Nashua, NH, says... not quite so quickly, folks:

Mind you, requiring face coverings at restaurants seems... challenging to manage.

Maybe the fact that Donald Trump didn’t know or even hear of the person in charge of biomedical research for his Administration in the midst of a global health pandemic is part of the reason why we’re quickly approaching 100,000 deaths in this country.

The economic shock stemming from the coronavirus pandemic hit lower-income households first and immediately left them much worse off, according to a new survey from the Federal Reserve.

Almost 40% of households earning less than $40,000 a year experienced at least one job loss in March, versus 19% of households earning between $40,000 and $100,000 and 13% of those earning more than $100,000, the Fed said.

Yeah.
Let’s continue the lockdowns and annihilate the poor people.

[Yankguy1]

Yep. Let's open up and kill them instead.

Look! Our resident sealion is pretending to care about poor people again! Note that extended job less benefits so they can stay home, safe and NOT DIE is not on his agenda. Risking their lives for his three martini lunch or buying his shirts, though, is.

Red cares about the working poor

heh

as he lobbies against minimum wage increases and the ACA safety net.

Yeah lets sacrifice the poor and working class to save the Red's IRA!

People need to learn how to work in the age of the corona virus, and many new jobs are being created, as jobs are being lost in some areas, jobs are being created in other areas.

Jobs are going up for truckers, and grocery store workers, and for pharmacists, and for delivery drivers. Many restaurants are still going but they had to switch to delivery and take out. And alcohol and cannabis sales are very high. And many of the truckers and grocery store workers are union, so they are getting paid fair, and they are represented.

And people are doing jobs from home, with their home offices, etc. Once people learn how to work from home, then they can be with their families more, and they will spend less time stuck in traffic, and also it will mean less people in traffic and cleaner air.

I think as this crisis ends that the world will be different than the world that we had before the crisis.

People are also learning that you can get paid for what you know, instead of just what you do. There is a whole economy based on intellectual property.

And you never know, I met a guy who Spielberg made his movie, "Amistad," and the guy was able to open 5 McDonald's restaurants in South Africa and hire his family members to run his restaurants. Right now would be a great time for people to write movie scripts, and novels, etc. If you do not know how to write a movie script, you can take an on-line class to learn. For me, when I wrote my movie script, I got a college professor in Texas to help me, he helped me over the internet.

Anyhow, maybe we can have a better and cleaner planet after this crisis, maybe people will learn more and spend less time stuck in traffic. Maybe families can be closer, and maybe the children can be raised better. Maybe we can use this crisis to help us to improve our lives.

Salute,

Tony V.

Trump wants Obama to testify in front of the Senate.

Hah!

May he get what he wishes for.

And watch them scramble to try to make his testimony not visible to the public.
