The missing six weeks: how Trump failed the biggest test of his life

The president was aware of the danger from the coronavirus – but a lack of leadership has created an emergency of epic proportions

www.theguardian.com

“The US response will be studied for generations as a textbook example of a disastrous, failed effort,” Ron Klain, who spearheaded the fight against Ebola in 2014, told a Georgetown university panel recently. “What’s happened in Washington has been a fiasco of incredible proportions.”

Inside the talks on the largest U.S. bailout: frantic negotiations, partisan tensions and a Trump tweet

Note how careful they all are to remain at least 6 feet away from each other, and compare this with the efforts made by the House of Representatives to maintain physical distancing between legislators when Rep Massie forced them to return to Washington to vote on the measures.

After Massie made clear he would force Pelosi and McCarthy to produce a quorum, top security officials entered the House floor and consulted with Pelosi and Hoyer, pointing up above to the public galleries.

There are roughly 600 seats that ring three-quarters of the chamber — the other quarter reserved for the media — and the public has been banned from entering the Capitol for more than two weeks, out of fear of the rapidly spreading coronavirus. The House floor, when packed for an event like a State of the Union address, can accommodate nearly 600 people.

So, just past noon, aides started opening the doors above to the public gallery, and one by one, lawmakers started filling those seats above the House floor, leaving plenty open to ensure a safe social distance.

The fear in the room was evident. Several members wore surgical gloves. Others went to great lengths to place themselves far from others. Some held their hand over their face as they passed other lawmakers or staff.

A good response:


Non-narcissists have empathy and pride, and respond to pleading and placating. The narcissist will still be random and destructive either way. It’s hard for people who haven’t seen this to believe it. It’s outside normal behavior.

This is why trying to placate abusers does not work.

Of course. Would we expect anything else? He will probably use it in the same responsible manner that he has used every single fund he has had from his "charity" funds to his campaign funds to the inauguration funds; to his benefit whether directly or indirectly like crossing palms in an effort for his re-election.

Trump says he won’t comply with key transparency measures in the coronavirus stimulus bill

President Donald Trump said on Friday that he will not adhere to a portion of the $2 trillion coronavirus stimulus bill that would authorize an inspector general to oversee how $500 billion in business loans will be spent.

That bill also establishes a Special Inspector General for Pandemic Recovery (SIGPR) within the Treasury Department to audit and investigate half a trillion dollars in loans for large businesses. In his signing statement, Trump said that this provision raises “constitutional concerns,” adding that his administration would not comply with such an official’s request for documents.

The addition of this transparency language was what ultimately swayed some Democrat senators to vote for the bill. The bill also establishes a congressional oversight panel to examine the IG’s reports.

Why am I not surprised?

Trump reportedly called former Yankees player Alex Rodriguez to ask for his thoughts on handling the coronavirus outbreak

The call with Alex Rodriguez was reportedly part of a number of calls Trump made this week regarding the coronavirus and its impact on the country.

Rodriguez is not a medical or public health expert.

So the right approach is to say "Fuck you Donnie, we will not submit to extortion", loudly and often?

It's the only way to deal with bullies.

Or with adult bullies sometimes a stronger response is required.

I humbly submit the following policy change:
"America does not negotiate with terrorists, or narcissists."

Everyone, please move closer to Mitch McConnell..... closer... closer... now cough.

>Seven< tweets in rapid succession from Trump about "Mr. Trump"s' ratings.

What a classless steaming stream of diarrhetic dog sqirt.

I couldn't help myself..


ffs... I didn't bail on twitter fast enough... and saw the deluge of ass-kissing trump cultists taking a victory lap.

I really hope some day they look in the mirror and see themselves with the same gorge twisting nausea they give me now.

And, having just watched 'Bombshell' last night (excellent movie, fwiw), I really wonder how different (and better) our world could have been if 9/11 took down the Murdoch tower instead of the WTC.
