monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

Hard to divine your meaning here. Just what (if any) is the connection to a Jesuit education? The quote attributed to Diamond and Silk is merely a metaphorical play on the spelling of words, accurately stated, - all to make a purely rhetorical point. No pretense there suggesting the speakers considered it to be anything more than that.

I’ve been accused of everything else...

Fact-Check: Obama Waited Until 'Millions' Infected and 1000 Dead in U.S. Before Declaring H1N1 Emergency

Every time the Left tries to make Trump look bad on this issue they're found to be frauds.

In fact, by 2015, Obama was back trying to counter a new H1N1 outbreak in the country.

Democrats have weaponized the virus stories to get Trump. Of course they have.

Because it is utterly stupid and without any rhetorical or cognitive value whatsoever. Like someone using terms such as 'demorat' or 'repuglican' or a play on words tying Pope to Poop. It's juvenile where the juvenile is quite dumb. That these two are spokespersons (and they are often on Fox) enhances no one and only contributes to a decline in thoughtfulness.

A lot of people are saying this is only a strain of flu--and that a 2% mortality rate isn't anything to worry about.

I suspect your finding of no meaning or cognitive value springs more from your disagreement with the point of view of the authors and the targets of their wordplay.

They wanted to have a woman on the taskforce, but couldn't find one as qualified in the field of epidemiology as as Larry Kudlow, Steve Mnuchin or Ben Carson

For the millionth time, we need new discourse norms to account for and marginalize people who operate in nakedly bad faith.

Watching VP Pence at Trump Novid-19 Press Conf. It is appropriate to acknowledge Presidential authority. However, in decades of experience in the military, business, Fed Gov I have never seen a more obsequious subordinate than Pence. Embarrassing.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- The House Judiciary Committee is launching a wide-ranging probe of Attorney General William Barr and the Justice Department, demanding briefings, documents and interviews with 15 officials as it tries to determine whether there has been improper political interference in federal law enforcement.

Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., on Friday sent Barr a letter listing a series of matters that the committee finds "deeply troubling," including Barr's involvement in the case of President Donald Trump's longtime confidant Roger Stone.

Stone was convicted in November of lying to Congress and other charges. Barr overruled prosecutors who had recommended that Stone be sentenced to seven to nine years in prison, leading the four top prosecutors on the case to step down from it.

Nadler also is questioning Barr about his involvement in other cases related to friends and associates of Trump and about internal investigations into department employees who investigated Trump after the 2016 election.

WASHINGTON (AP) -- In a setback for Democrats in Congress, a federal appeals court ruled Friday that judges have no role to play in the subpoena fight between the House and President Donald Trump over the testimony of high-ranking administration officials.

The decision undoes a lower court ruling that would have forced former White House counsel Don McGahn to appear before Congress. It is likely to doom efforts to get other high-ranking officials to testify in House investigations of Trump.

A three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit issued the 2-1 decision. Lawmakers could ask the full appeals court to weigh in or appeal to the Supreme Court. House Speaker Nancy Pelosi said Friday that she would ask the full appeals court to weigh in.

But time is getting short if the House hopes to have McGahn or other officials testify before November's elections.
