1. Did the $ go to the wall?

[Pachamama]

3. Probably.....

[CaptYossarian]

8. I'm so glad he's protecting our country.

[elleng]

4. The $ had not been authorized,

the program was approved initially and reauthorized once, but not a third time under this administration.

5. Thanks for that info,ellen

trump has done a good job of hollowing out our country, Putin will be pleased.

[elleng]

7. Yes, putin's very pleased.

[CaptYossarian]

10. It's still damn irresponsible to let that happen.

Of course, we once again had to let a businessman invade our White House who had no right to even tour it as a citizen.

Currently, he's surpassed 8,000 counts of Manslaughter. Number 10,000 should come this week. And the d-bags still won't convict.

2. How dumb can people be?

There is no such thing as coincidence.

[davekriss]

9. The answer: Pretty damn dumb

[DBoon]

6. For anyone who can't get to twitter - here is the post

The U.S. had a program - PREDICT - that identified lethal viruses abroad to prevent their spread to the U.S..

It had found 1,200 viruses (and 160 coronaviruses) in 10 years.

It was actively working in China.

Two months before the Wuhan outbreak, Trump shut the program down.

[SammyWinstonJack]

31. Yes, no one could have predicted this, said tRump. PREDICT.

There's a "nasty question" for his presser today.

[StarryNite]

11. As in biowarfare as opposed to naturally occurring viruses?

[ecstatic]

22. This virus is unprecedented and

is breaking a lot of norms. Just like trump.

Asymptomatic transmission? Check.
Surviving on surfaces for 17+days? Check.
Reinfecting people who've recovered? Check.
The list goes on and on...

[IronLionZion]

12. Once is happenstance. Twice is coincidence. Three times is enemy action.

[matt819]

15. Can you say...

Enemy agent?

I’d like to echo comments of others over the past little while. When a Democrat takes office in January, he will want to look forward. Great. But he should also multi task and take a very serious look backward. To quote a DUer the other day: I want to see the orange menace die penniless in prison.

[eleny]

13. It's pretty serious when a u.S. Senator lays out a timeline like this

Good on Murphy! Just keep saying it plain.

Peeling off Trump voters, perhaps, one at time as they also lose family members to death or chronic illness going forward.

[SunSeeker]

14. K & R & Retweeted!

[ffr]

16. K&R

Loved the wording. Fact is fact.

[Deep State Gnostic]

17. With help from the GOP. n/t

[Old Crow]

18. WAY TO GO, TRUMPY!

If Americans don't vote this narcissitic, anti-science, pathological liar out of office in November, I will be at my wit's end.

[Bluesaph]

19. I'm doing my part

People have more free time on their hands. I’ve already peeled off one. Number two is on the fence and almost tipping and number three is stubborn but coming along.

[moondust]

20. Too many coincidences.

[ecstatic]

21. "When a coward seems fearless, something is up..."

So weird how Trump acts as though he's already been vaccinated. When a coward seems fearless, something is up.

Lately I've been thinking that China may have been on to something. The reckless behavior of trump, the GOP Congress & the rethug governors is too blatant to be ignored. It's obvious that 1) they're not concerned for their own safety and 2) they want the maximum deaths possible. It's fine to disagree but just show evidence of why I'm wrong. I'll wait for it.

[Demovictory9]

23. kick... investigations needed

[Blue Owl]

24. tRump's hands might be tiny, but they're bloody...

Oh, they're bloody...

[PaulRevere08]

25. Had to pay for .00015 of the tax break.

[ramen]

26. Is the implication here that this is a deployed virus?

Or that the incompetence is to this scale? I have no trouble believing the second one but the first one seems an awful lot like a conspiracy theory to me.

[ZZenith]

27. Do you believe conspiracies occur in the world?

[ramen]

28. Hard to answer "no" but the conspiracy you are teasing there

would require someone capable of conspiring to do anything.. this president is simply not that, and even an infinitely more capable conspirator would have to really, really work at pulling this off witg the entire world watching obsessively. Every single insane thing he has done on my watch has been best explained by malignantly narcissistic buffonery, hate of various types but mostly racism, and a bizarre obsession with pissing on Barack Obama.

Without some credibly heavy evidence, spinning this pandemic into having been literally started by trump rather than having been facilitated by his incredible incompetence risks making Democrats look like the unhinged types that republicans keep insisting we are.

The guy just doesn't have it in him.

[ZZenith]

30. I personally don't think he's the one pulling the strings.

But what do I know?

[SammyWinstonJack]

32. Of course he isn't. He's just the distraction.

29. Exposed. K and R.
