Senate Republican leader Mitch McConnell just said he will block the bill, b/c it creats a "thicket of bureaucracy" would kill jobs'

Well, that put it all on the table, doesn't it?
All of you, who aren't in the upper 1%,
are to go off an die. Suffer in anguished pain,
and then die.
That is what Your President has in store.
For You.

Shaw, didn't you say that the poorest states
are, basically, the Southern States, and didn't
you also say that if something bad (like the flu)
hits, these states simply won't be able to respond?

Now, we're seeing it, in real time.
I guess, the only question is: How many
will die before some sort of response is
organized to aid them, because there's
nothing in place now, and these southern
states, you know, the same ones that refused
to implement the ACA? ObamaCare?
That were screaming about "Socialized
Medicine?

In these poor southern states,
there's....Not enough.....

Not enough testing kits.
Not enough beds.
Not enough medicines.
Not enough doctors.
Not enough health professionals.
Not enough...time...

Um, I pretty sure, yes, I'm very certain
that I read what you said, Shaw,
about elections mattering
a great deal...About sowing the wind,
and reaping the whirlwind?

I think that we are about to witness
the truth of your statement in real time...
and I think it's gonna be pretty ugly.

So, how many are going to vote for
the people that are, literally,
killing them?

Obama isn't president anymore.
Hillary had nothing to do with this.
Can't blame them....hmm....


And Donald Trump is the President
YOU PEOPLE have elected.


God help us all.

CDC begged Trump not to close the 40 global pandemic offices a far thinking Obama had instituted after the H1N1 epidemic. He closed 37 of them because he’s a vengeful pos and here we are today. Caught flat footed without a plan.

OMG... I was watching FOX News and they had a science guy/doctor on who just asked whether we were going to listen to "Opinion Guys" or to scientists and doctors.

Amazing.

He said this is going to explode across the US, that we are woefully unprepared and many wrongly believe this is no big deal.

On FOX News!

I bet he won't be asked back.

If Moscow Mitch the Bitch McConnell was honest he would encourage passage of the bill stating, this bill will NOT cost jobs, what it WILL do is provide a little short term relief from worry if one must be away from work for 14 days. While this will NOT cost jobs it will marginally increase the cost of doing business on companies. This will likely result in those costs being passed on to the consumer which will be reflected in minimally higher costs for all their products.

But for Trump, Moscow Mitch, and the GOP what is most important is insuring their wealthy friends and donors to their campaigns for office are well taken care of and insulated from regulations aimed at helping society at large.

Turds in a bucket stinking up our environment I say.

This is the natural outcome when the country is led by a president who doesn't believe in science and who has been at war with the truth since he campaigned.

"Trump has spent years devaluing and diminishing facts, experts, institutions, and science—the very things upon which we must rely in a crisis—and his default setting during the coronavirus outbreak has been to deny, delay, deflect, and diminish. His speech on Wednesday night was a disappointment but not a surprise. He told us what we already knew: America is in big trouble." by Susan B. Glasser -- The New Yorker
