Yes, Hogan is a Republican for whom I didn't vote and whose general political philosophy is the antithesis of mine. But in this crisis, he is spot on and doing a terrific job for the citizens of his state.

'Trump says the MD governor "didn't understand".
At the start of the briefing, the president said the nations governors had been given a list of the names, addresses and phone numbers of the labs where they can find additional testing capacity within their states.
Hundreds and hundreds of labs are ready, willing and able, he insisted. Some of the governors, like as an example the governor from Maryland didnt really understand the list. He didnt understand too much about what was going on, so now I think hell be able to do that. Its pretty simple. '

And if that wasn't crazy enough, there's a dumb-as-f**k 35% out there that believe him - and a national media that plays along to keep themselves in business - like a lawn service - "here to spread the s**t on your lawn."
