And Pence stepped in and killed the line of questioning. Pence's job, stop the Dr from answering tough questions.

"There was no silver bullet that could have prevented the 9/11 attacks. There was nothing demonstrating or showing that something was coming in the United States. If there had been something, we would have acted on it."

PDBs ring a bell, Condi?

Haven't worked in the field in 20 years due to a disability.
I knew as soon as I heard the #'s that were coming out of China in Jan that it was bad.
When they closed Wuhan I knew it was going to be a pandemic.
In 2018 3.5 million Chinese visited US.. 350,000 students attend universities in US. I knew the virus was already here
The Chinese stock market and Asian Stock markets were affected. Before ours. Once the airlines refused to fly it was a domino affect and our stock market was affected too.

I am not super smart. But I can use Google. I cannot believe our intelligence agencies are so lax that they did not see this coming. WHO knew
Donald Trump had to know. He is supposed to be a great business man.

So.
Either he knew and thought he knew better then the experts, who in the WH was advising him, telling him what he wanted to hear rather what he needed to know...
OR
He refused to believe the experts. And ignored them

The American people are dying because of Trumps incompetence. And hubris.
Both scenarios are bad.

He needs to be removed from office. He cannot be trusted with the country or with American lives.
And this cannot wait till November

that he is being controlled.

He is stupid and venal enough to follow a carrot; or stupid and fearful enough to be afraid of the stick.

Apparently the same reasons for all of the (r)epuglicons in the US congress and apparently all of the states.

Who is/are the controller(s)?
