monitoring Trump and relevant contemporary events

“Look, I view myself as a bridge, not as anything else,” Biden said. “There’s an entire generation of leaders you saw stand behind me. They are the future of this country.”

WASHINGTON — Sen. Chris Murphy, a Connecticut Democrat, says that Trump administration officials declined an offer of early congressional funding assistance that he and other senators made on Feb. 5 during a meeting to discuss the coronavirus.

The officials, including Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar, said they “didn’t need emergency funding, that they would be able to handle it within existing appropriations,” Murphy recalled in an interview with Yahoo News’ “Skullduggery” podcast.

“What an awful, horrible catastrophic mistake that was,” Murphy said.

On Feb. 5, Murphy tweeted: “Just left the Administration briefing on Coronavirus. Bottom line: they aren't taking this seriously enough. Notably, no request for ANY emergency funding, which is a big mistake. Local health systems need supplies, training, screening staff etc. And they need it now.”

Murphy told Yahoo News that the funding he and other congressional leaders wanted to allocate nearly two months ago would have paid for essential preventative measures, including hiring local screening and testing staff, researching a vaccine and treatments and the stockpiling of needed medical supplies.

why won't you offer up the name of a spa where the tender age sheltered are.

Why do you post nonsense.

I don’t know how Republicans got from Terry Schiavo to “**** you, no ventilators for your whole state unless you kiss my ass,” but they did it.

A new Fox News poll shows former Vice President Joe Biden leading President Donald Trump by a crushing 25 point margin in counties that were close in 2016.

Everybody is calling bullshit on you

Suffering from existential despair, the NYT found itself a new scapegoat

And that's it. That's Stewart's argument about Christianity being the root cause of...something. Stewart's insults never lead to any factual support for her premise.

However, we like facts, so here are the things this avatar for science fails to mention:

1. Democrat politicians and other leftists in New York encouraged crowds for Chinese New Year to fight Trump's "xenophobia" Meanwhile, New Orleans's mayor was incapable of calling the shots in her city for Mardi Gras.

2. Democrats have pushed for years to pack people into cities and, once in cities, put them all into public transportation. Nobody considered social distancing then.

3. Democrat have pushed for years to ban single-use plastic bags. Now that re-usable bags are proving to be a coronavirus vector, single-use bags are back.

4. Democrat policies have pushed for years for open borders. Now borders around the world are closing, and Mexicans no longer want Americans to come in.

it's right-wing, science-denying christianism.

Despite President Donald Trump’s repeated claims, Democrats are not advocating open borders, not even the ones who are calling to abolish Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

The small minority of Democrats in Congress calling for the end of ICE have all said they would like to have many of ICE’s functions redistributed to other, existing government agencies. None has called for abandoning border enforcement.

Trump has for years wrongly accused Democrats of wanting open borders, but he has stepped up the frequency of that attack line as Democrats in recent weeks criticized his “no tolerance” policy that resulted in family separations at the border, and as some Democrats began calling for the abolishment of ICE.

Pure b.s. — the writer doesn't understand the difference between humane treatment of refugees and "open borders".

FactCheck.org is Sponsored by Decidedly LEFTIST Organization: ANNENBERG Public Policy Foundation

The fact is, the ANNENBERG Public Policy Center (APPC), the sponsoring agency behind FastCheck.org, is itself supported by the same foundation, the ANNENBERG FOUNDATION, that Bill Ayers secured the 49.2 million dollars from to create the Chicago ANNENBERG Challenge “philanthropic” organization in which Barack Obama was the founding Chairman of the Board for and Ayers served as the grant writer of and co-Chair of for its two operating arms.

They are making no clear distinction.

This denial of science and critical thinking among religious ultraconservatives now haunts the American response to the coronavirus crisis. On March 15, Guillermo Maldonado, who calls himself an “apostle” and hosted Mr. Trump earlier this year at a campaign event at his Miami megachurch, urged his congregants to show up for worship services in person. “Do you believe God would bring his people to his house to be contagious with the virus? Of course not,” he said.

Rodney Howard-Browne of The River at Tampa Bay Church in Florida mocked people concerned about the disease as “pansies” and insisted he would only shutter the doors to his packed church “when the rapture is taking place.” In a sermon that was live-streamed on Facebook, Tony Spell, a pastor in Louisiana, said, “We’re also going to pass out anointed handkerchiefs to people who may have a fear, who may have a sickness and we believe that when those anointed handkerchiefs go, that healing virtue is going to go on them as well.”

okay, dimbulb. the children's detention center in clint, texas,

“It was just horrendous, the stories that we were hearing.”
