Someone’s been keeping track of the underpuppets failing to manage their departments in the national interest

The GOP (far more than anybody else) does not love America. They want us to be a theocracy.

68% of Christians, including a whopping 89% of White Evangelicals, believe that the Bible should have either a great deal or some influence on our laws.

Only 31% of Jews.

67% of Republicans, with 34% saying a great deal of influence and only 15% saying none at all.
33% of Democrats, with 13% saying a great deal of influence and 46% saying none at all.

Over 60% of people over 50 say some or a great deal.
30% of people under 30 say that.

I am revolted that any Democrats feel that way... but honestly, I am revolted that any GOP members feel that way! But the majority of them do - truly, The American Taliban, as others of you hear have labeled them. It made me uncomfortable to read it.

It makes me more uncomfortable to realize you were understating the problem.

So much for the "strict constitutionalists," huh?

Some of the ways we might be coping with a new normal, once it arrives. Roll out with any scale or consistency still seems quite a way off.

It's not 5:30pm yet. There are still 3.5 hours until the day's tallies of the new cases and new deaths are complete.

We've blown the top of the new deaths prior high number and are closing on 50% more deaths than yesterday.

Maybe this is a blip. I would not bet on it, but instead would bet that the numbers for the last two days were artificially low for some reason.

I would love to be wrong.

Trump halts WHO funding


"Other nations and regions who followed WHO guidelines and kept their borders open to China, accelerated the pandemic around the world," Trump said.

 That is disturbing,, Fac.  One way to help USPS stay solvent is to buy stamps.   You don't  have to even use them, just drop in a drawer or over-stamp all snail mail (there's no penalty or rejection for putting too much postage on a letter or parcel).

Tucker Carlson has no fucking clue and is a shill.

~Anybody with a clue.

Kid pretends to not take stands, but consistently posts propaganda.

~Everybody on this forum except maybe Ward and Luee (and Tony, who is very nice)

http://www.cnn.com/2020/04/14/politics/trey-hollingsworth-coronavirus/index.html

Hollingworth says more deaths are better than a tanking economy, as if having substantially more deaths won't hurt the economy.

More of what you woud call leadership, Kid.
