Yes emphatically, I do. If the rabid media got the first whiff that Republicans loaded up a mini-van, much less a bus or fleets of buses ala the Dem modus operandi, there'd be enough fanfare made about it to eclipse the fall of the Berlin Wall. Dems rented buses (over and over again) and planted trained protestors to take the lead in those 'protests' and fed them lunch most of the time-- at every event from Occupy Main Street to Ferguson, to Boston to Los Angeles, to Charlotte, to DJT political rallies. That fact alone should warrant an investigation. But why would you bother to 'quality' something I have already categorized as being unworthy to mix with fertilizer?

Oh of course you found it today. Every bright morning in La-La Land begins with another trip down the yellow brick road. Not to mention the daily requisite refresher on munchkin talking points.

Whether you say everything is fine or not, bears no faint relevance to my statement about Nancy's plan for 'guaranteed income,' another liberal idiocy which hails it's birth back to the Obama administration. Not that she's by any means a shoo-in to retain the gavel, but the second Nancy brought it to the floor don't try and act like you wouldn't be all-in when we saw you become a Biden supporter complete with talking points in the blink of an eye.

Denial ain't just a river in Egypt.
Both sides pay and load up buses.

Let's see if we can get on topic.

Trump already bungled the first sortie of the CV response by denying and not preparing the country. The second sortie he created a capable task force that developed reasonable guidelines, but then he snatched the mic from them and started doling out quack advice and punching down at the press. (Since we like baseball metaphors, he hit a double and then got caught in a rundown headed to third.)

So here we are.

After moving the goalposts three or 4 times in the past two weeks, the president says we could hit 90k deaths total; he will be moving them again, because we may pass that next week.

Deaths and cases are close to doubling in the past 15 days, and Trump says we need to get this country open, so Governors are listening and opening the doors in lockstep. Trump is cheering on the states that aren't heeding the advice of his own administration while jeering the Governor's that follow the guidelines.

I don't expect anyone on here to admit it, but DJT will have to own the failure of reopening too soon. The nature of this emergency is only getting worse, and we are steamrolling toward the numbers that have been scoffed at on this thread. When cases grow exponentially and deaths follow, the economy will not recover when your only plan is open and lie about how prepared we are.
