California governor projects "56% of state's population will be infected" in the next 8 weeks

New York City expected to run out of medical supplies in 2 to 3 weeks

Mike Pence says we're in good shape and Kid says it will be all over in 6-8 weeks. Or 6-10 weeks, depending on whether he is misrepresenting Oz or Gates.

Dr. Anthony Fauci: "There are no proven safe and effective therapies for the coronavirus"

He said that tonight.

Josh.
I notice no one on here comes to your defense.

Why should we?

You’re the one who needs help.

Slimier than we had previously known.

Not only did Senator Burr warn select individuals about what was coming, but two weeks before that he sold off a lot of stock. There is no proof (yet) that he used inside information for that decision. OTOH, he's also one of the few senators who voted against the law forbidding senators to profit from their knowledge, so I would hardly expect him to get caught.

It might not have been illegal. It sure smells!

Senate Intelligence Chairman Richard Burr and his wife sold as much as $1.7 million in stock last month ahead of the sharp market decline that's resulted from the novel coronavirus global pandemic, according to Senate documents.

But you still are pretending not to understand what "something for nothing" means and it's hilarious.

No you are.
Because it has no meaning.
Thanks for admitting it.

This is for Bambi, not so much because I expect him to change, but by way of explanation for how we know he is not civilized.

Hahahahaha.

Nothing goes over your head, Ward.

Your reactions are too quick.

Ooh, that smell! Can't you smell that smell?!

The Senate’s newest member sold off seven figures worth of stock holdings in the days and weeks after a private, all-senators meeting on the novel coronavirus that subsequently hammered U.S. equities.

Sen. Kelly Loeffler (R-GA) reported the first sale of stock jointly owned by her and her husband on Jan. 24, the very day that her committee, the Senate Health Committee, hosted a private, all-senators briefing from administration officials, including the CDC director and Anthony Fauci, the head of the National Institutes of Health of the United States, on the coronavirus.

These nighttime shows on MSNBC are a hoot.

It's like they don't fold in the information from the day before airing their show.

Under Obama the NSC had ballooned to 236 employees, from about 100 under Bush 43.

Anton also questioned some of the decisions to expand the staff levels between the Bush and Obama administrations. As an example, he pointed out that under Mr. Bush, the Middle East directorate of the NSC included all of the Arabic-speaking countries including North African countries. After he left, under Mr. Obama, the Africa directorate absorbed the North African countries, but by the time he returned in 2017, Anton said that "the Middle East directorate, even though it lost countries…was much larger."


He thinks that a smaller NSC "will be easier to manage" with "clearer lines of authority, clearer lines of who's responsible for what, clearer expectations among the staff."

The president is trying to control the market with deceit... again.

NYX is reporting that the Trump Administration is requesting states not release Unemployment Claims data so the markets won’t be spooked.

I just asked a DC cop what he’s noticed since the coronavirus sent people home. “More domestic violence,” he said, without missing a beat.

Asked about the production of n95 masks—and reports that a shortage has led some healthcare workers to use bandannas—Vice President Mike Pence said a stockpile of 35 million masks produced by 3M were now available to use after a legislation change Wednesday night, which apparently addressed a liability issue that companies could face, according to Trump.
