1. Thank you for title-ing this the way you didd -- so wonderful to hear.

2. I never have CNN on in the evenings...

It’s usually Cubs baseball or music at my house. Anyway, l’m making dinner when my husband comes home... I’ve got the baseball game on mute in the family room and Chris Cuomo on in the kitchen. Hubs comes in and sits at the counter and listens to Cuomo’s opening statement and says “holy shit, what did the MF do today?” And here we are.

14. whoa that's pretty late. U must be on the west coast. Yes Cuomo did a fantastic piece here on the

Con's lie. I don't watch CNN very often as i used to but do browse their site for news clips. I like Cuomo alot and i find his reporting accurate & fair. I know other people will disagree with that but hey, to each his/her own.

5. Most of us on DU didn't buy his BS

and were talking about looking to other countries who already had outbreaks for advice since Team tRump was/is not credible back in Feb. We knew not to believe the "lier"-in-chief.

[Mike 03]

13. Yep.

[KS Toronado]

6. He didn't want us to panic, nor did he want the government to prepare for what was coming.

He was way to busy figuring out how to make money for himself off of the pandemic.
He wanted a lot of people to get sick to enrich himself.

[Skittles]

8. actually it sounds like he was taking orders from Putin

imagine that

[lagomorph777]

17. Waging biological war against America.

[Hugin]

10. Well, and there was that bit about Jar-head saying the pandemic was going to disproportionately...

effect traditionally Democratic areas.

Can't forget that little nugget of biological genocidal warfare advice from a Federal Employee. Kind of at least violates the Hatch Act... Don't you think?

[KS Toronado]

11. I agree 100%

[rwsanders]

7. So how many other things are they or would they hold back from the public?

Deny global warming, of course, can't have a panic.
If there was a nuclear or terrorist attack? can't have a panic.

The right keeps gaining ground because a few bullies are very loud. We need to find a way to be loud. Not angry, but loud.
My admiration to the folks in the BLM movement who are doing that now.

I just listened to this before a sat at the computer, and it seems very apropos now:

9. Bookmarking.

Wanna get back to this later.

12. One important point he makes is "who else knew?"

Trump didn't get this info alone. Who was in the room, who heard or read this report in early Feb., etc.? They're ALL culpable for tens of thousands of deaths that could have been prevented.

[Hekate]

15. 100th Rec. just now watched this.

[H2O Man]

16. Recommended.

18. Kick

20. So when we were spraying everything with alcohol and bleach they knew about air transmission?

Holy ssssssssssss. I mean food was being quarantined for weeks before opening it. Sprayed with bleach, alcohol, wiped multiple times.

[mgardener]

21. Wow.

Just wow.
He should be angry.
He and his wife had it.

[DSandra]

22. It's pretty clear that Trump thinks of his supporters as suckers

Including Herman Cain.

[cp]

23. Magnificent

Great summary. Seems like Chris having had and survived Covid makes him even more righteous.
Thanks for posting.

24. For tRump,

leadership means lying to the people you lead, and for your own gain.

I hold no hope for the future of this country if we do not hold every single person accountable for the actions under this administration.

This is the crossroads. We must all make a choice. Things are pretty awful now, they may get much worse.
