Sinema says Ducey doesn't have 'the time or interest' to speak to her about coronavirus pandemic

U.S. Sen. Kyrsten Sinema, D-Ariz., said Tuesday she hasn't spoken with Gov. Doug Ducey about the state's deteriorating COVID-19 situation, saying he and his health director "may not have the time or interest" to discuss the rising hospitalizations with her.

"The director of the Department of Health Services and the governor have chosen to run a program that they feel is appropriate for Arizona, and have indicated they may not have the time or the interest to spend a lot of time with me on the phone," the Arizona Democrat said in an interview with "The Gaydos and Chad Show" on KTAR-FM (92.3 FM).

Sinema's blunt assessment came on a day when the state once again set records for new cases and hospitalizations. She went on to rip Ducey's remarks last week that the state's hospitals had capacity for treating far more coronavirus cases.

"I don't think it makes sense to design your policy based on whether or not there are enough hospital beds for people to die in," she said. "I think we should be designing our policy about how do we reduce the spread, so fewer people are dying, fewer people are in the hospitals and fewer people are contracting the virus. That should be our focus. And we can do that while also safely reopening our businesses and our economy."

"I want every Arizonan to be able to have the medical care and comfort and resources necessary, and today we are able to provide that," the Republican governor said in a defensive news conference on Thursday. Ducey pushed back against what he maintained was an incorrect national image of the state struggling to manage the virus.

BTW Senator Sinema is hotter than Mitch McConnell

Trump, "If we stop testing right now, we'd have very few cases, if any." 100% Gaslighting

And why is Trump working so hard to gas light America today? Because his "snake oil aka
HCQ was exposed as a fraud and a scam today by the FDA.

who supported the Russian/GOP coup and or didn't hold him accountable in the US
Senate.

Good God in Butter. On MSNBC about 5 minutes ago @ West Point

Donald Trump just saluted the statue of Douglas Macarthur. WTF?

The shot was from too far away for me to see who was with him
but I imagine that the Commander of West Point or the senior
officer who was with him must be dying inside.

This is one big reality show to Trump.

BTW thanx to Trump we are going to pass the # of deaths in WW I today (116,000) with the # of deaths
from C-19.

Republican Bruce Bartlett: "He Is Even Dumber Than We Thought"

Four years in office has only convinced more Americans that the Trump might not be a stable genius.

A Washington Post–ABC News poll taken the last week of May 2020 asked Americans, “Do you think Trump has the mental sharpness it takes to serve effectively as president?” Fifty-two percent of respondents said no, with only 46 percent saying yes.

snip

It appears that Trump’s performance in office has had a negative effect on perceptions of his mental acuity. The Quinnipiac poll tracked perceptions of Trump’s mental sharpness from 2016 through 2018, asking, “Would you say that Donald Trump is intelligent, or not?” When first asked in November 2016, 74 percent of people said yes, and only 21 percent said no. A year later, however, those answering in the affirmative had fallen to 55 percent, while those in the negative camp rose to 41 percent. Subsequent polls found roughly the same ratio.

snip

Further evidence that Trump is widely viewed as something shy of the sharpest knife in the drawer comes from another, far-from-leading query pollsters have posed about him. In September 2017, a Washington Post–ABC News poll asked people an open-ended question: “What one word best describes your impression of Trump? Just the one word that best describes him?” The first most common term to describe him was “incompetent.” Other related characterizations in the top 10 descriptors included “idiot,” “ignorant,” and “unqualified.”

snip

Of course, Trump regularly refers to himself as a “very stable genius.” As proof, he often mentions that he got an undergraduate degree from the prestigious Wharton School of Finance at the University of Pennsylvania, after spending his first two years at Fordham. However, there is no evidence that he was anything other than an ordinary student. He didn’t make the list of matriculating students in his class who graduated with honors. Reportedly, one of his professors, William T. Kelly, later disparaged Trump as one of the dumbest students he ever had.

********

The GOP is now trying to cut ties from Trump. Sorry, too late GOP he is yours.

Is this news that Trump is an idiot? In his first few months in office Trump said that the problem with the
USPS (post office) is that they pick up and delivers packages.

We are at 110,000 dead and 2 million cases of C-19

How do you spin that?
