Why in the hell does Susan Rice have to defend herself alone??

on pandemic handoff? She's on CNN right now. She briefed Flynn. Wtf. Where's Obama? Where's Biden?

Unless they think she's bullshitting? Our party is rutterless. Sadest part of it all next to all the horror of death that surrounds us.

Trump is disbanding coronavirus task force. This is pure negligence.

Last CNN Town Hall had 90,000+ questions submitted!

Forget about Donnie's crazy talk...people waited to hear the medical experts. They need to hear them.

First time I have heard trump explain a deviant strategy

https://news.yahoo.com/trump-calls-msnbc-morning-joe-113553098.html

Love or hate Joe & Mika, was surprised that trump said...

"Concast” should open up a long overdue Florida Cold Case against Psycho Joe Scarborough,” wrote the president. “I know him and Crazy Mika well, used them beautifully in the last Election, dumped them nicely, and will state on the record that he is “nuts”. Besides, bad ratings! #OPENJOECOLDCASE

Lighter side: Man camps on Disney World island during pandemic, calls it a "tropical paradise"

https://news.yahoo.com/man-arrested-camping-disney-worlds-141823689.html

Man arrested after camping on Disney World's Discovery Island during coronavirus pandemic


Disney World has been closed since mid-March as the world faces the coronavirus pandemic. One man saw the closure as an opportunity to turn a Disney island into his personal campsite.


Snip
He had been sleeping in one of the island's buildings and referred to the property as a “tropical paradise,” according to the arrest report.


Snip
he was "unaware" that he was trespassing when he was on the property.

McEnany had first press briefing, guess no more COVID medical briefings?

Yes, COVID-19 task force still meeting, no, she couldn't say how often.

Now we are back to crazy partisan press bashing when asked about Flynn. She abruptly ended it when a reporter finally shut down her tirade about what a travesty of Justice Flynn got when she couldn't answer "BUT WHY DID HE PLEAD GUILTY?"

WH making a serious error in judgement here. Over 90,000 people submitted COVID questions for CNN town hall last night.

TX tested 330k of which 28k positive. So that's 300k who thought they had it?

Have noticed this in other stats for other places too - very high rate of negatives. Thought common wisdom was that the people getting tested had symptoms. In fact, haven't many been turned away if they didn't? Unless these stats on #tested include health care workers, public servants, etc who are tested often to insure they are all safe ?

Texas has a population of almost 30 million but has only administered 330,300 coronavirus tests, of which 28,087 have been positive.
