Stupid headline of the day

What makes that one stupid? That it reflects a reality everybody acknowledges but you?



There ARE NO experts.

Yeah, there are, Kid. Your ignorance and that of your president are not an excuse.

There are other countries' practices that we refuse to learn from. There is advice from Dr. Fauci and likely Dr. Birx that Trump refuses to heed, as do many governors, still. We do not lack for experts. We lack for leaders willing to listen to them who have the power to act sufficiently.

But thank you for answering this question. You might consider simply explaining each time rather than our having to ask what you mean.

A higher power did not delete this candid shot,

I pray for the multitudes who won’t just have to abandon their party but also recenter their faith.

The issue with the headline was testing

There ARE NO testing experts when it comes to COVID-19

Thus - stupid headline

Why don't you just admit - the headlines do not match the content?

They are there to alarm - and serve to mislead.

No one has ever developed a test for a disease before. No one is detecting this one.

There ARE NO testing experts when it comes to COVID-19

Thus - stupid headline

And again, there are testing experts - the issue, Kid, with test is MAKING THE DAMNED THINGS AVAILABLE ALL OVER THE COUNTRY, with speedy turnaround time.

And we DO have experts on how to do that, too.

There is no national strategy. There is no national distribution. There is no employment of the Defense Production Act to get the pieces made more swiftly.

It does not require a COVID testing expert. It requires a distribution and manufacturing expert and none of those are being used, evidently.

Something other than Trump calling it an attack would have been good, Kid, as a simple starter.

"We are sorry to learn of the loss of lives and so many injuries in the explosion in Beirut today. While we have every confidence in the Lebanese government to handle this crisis, we stand ready to offer aid, whether for the injured or in any investigation."

How about that?!

Newt sends trump a memo saying Nixon’s ‘68 campaign won’t work so he should switch to the ‘72 campaign.

Trump does Frost - Nixon interview instead.

Not Fred’s brightest child.

Why? She’s been riding the grifter gravy train for decades.
