And the beat goes on. Pompeo continues blaming China for the faux pas made by the leadership in this country. I wonder if the people that work for Trump are ignorant or trying to play a game for a crooked team to try to win.

Dr. Birx says that civil disobedience in Michigan is troubling. So she is on Trump's short list along with Dr. Fauci.

Trump must be loving the fact that people in Michigan are bringing firearms to the Capitol.

Great leadership in this country is causing for all kinds of losers to come out of the woodwork.

Let's not forget that he created (loosely speaking since he doesn't know a thing about GUI coding) the coronavirus website and he has no background in biology or chemistry or pre-Med or health services to be in charge of trying to get a vaccine to the public. Let's hope he doesn't get in the way of those people that can move forward in this work and that he doesn't take away the motivation of researchers. I've known lots of managers with their Theory X managers or saying stupid things that make the staff lose interest or sight of their goal.

Trump is tightening his grip on coronavirus information.

I much prefer Dr. Duc Vuong's rationale and can understand that the economy has to open because we're suffering from the closure.

At the 30 minute mark is when he talks about reopening government. I wouldn't consider him the bible but it's rational thinking.

Trump says that the coronavirus will go away without a vaccine.

The way that Trump is dealing with the coronavirus appears to be the way that Trump has been dealing with his businesses for years.

Governor of South Dakota trying to stop the Lakota from having roadblocks for non-essential travel on Indian reservations.

Too bad Kristi Noem is a Republican because I'm tired of bashing the Republicans but maybe the Republicans are a bunch of cowboys/girls and I'm more tired of tyrannical bullying by Republicans and in this case sacrifices the lives of Native Americans who just want to be left alone on their reservations during the pandemic.

White man has been killing and taking advantage of Native Americans since their first interactions long ago. Nothing has changed since.

This would be the second massacre in the same area so I guess they'll call it Battle of Artificial Knee.

Congratulations Trump for creating anarchy in Michigan and all the other states with militants that want to follow your lead.

Sorry...I've been away. Uhm, it seems that the country lacks leadership still. The appeal to minute cultures with in the country and the demonizing of other countries is pretty much run-of-the-mill crap for this administration. This administration missed all the alarm bells...probably because the commander in chief was mostly sleeping and watching fox news to stop this pandemic from affecting this great country.

Agree...or disagree.

This is what I predicted and witnessed.

This is good. Trump is now mobilizing the military to distribute the vaccine.

Senior moment or just plain arrogance? I guess he's just trying to fake his base out.

Meanwhile, he feels that testing is overrated.

Mitch McConnell is about as stupid with his arguments as Trump's.
https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics ... -ntp-feeds
Blaming the failure of reaction to the pandemic to Obama is about as bad as blaming the pandemic on China and Europe. The failure in the US occurred because of the ignoring the problem until it was too late.

Trump's appetite for conflict during the pandemic.

Yes, it is contagious because if it's tolerated at the highest level then everyone feels they are entitled to do the same.
