I thought this was Joe's presser

The media is asking too many questions about Trump, the loser. The media needs to look forward, or their networks need to send new journalists. Enough.

Think about multiple people testing positive shortly after testing negative

We are all familiar with super spreader events. However none of them had readily available pre-event testing that I am aware of. Yes, we know there are false negative tests. Nevertheless a few questions have crossed my mind.

1) Was everyone tested before the SCOTUS party last week? The Notre Dame president claimed he was, so I assumed all others were as well. Imagine a false negative from someone who sheds enough virus to infect that many people. It’s mind-numbing.

2) What test was used? I hear it was the Abbott test. Who administered it, who ran it and did they use the proper procedure and equipment?

3) If Chris Wallace was correct and the Tump team wasn’t tested before the debate, why did they do that? Were they concerned about a possible positive. It just doesn’t make sense to avoid testing when you claim to test a lot.

The other possibility is that the SCOTUS party wasn’t a super spreader event, and these folks were just a bunch of irresponsible people all got caught the same time. Of course, both could be true.

I hope Joe comes forward with some proposals to address the issues leading to the protests

I know that is a general statement and I know one cannot long-standing systemic racism, and inequality with anything that approached a comprehensive plan, but I see Trump and the GOP twisting what is happening and taking over the narrative.

If I were Joe, I would have my staff in touch with the mayors and governors daily. I would gather facts and hold a daily presser almost as if I were POTUS - since the current occupant is incapacitated.

I would consult with those who have been on the front lines of civil rights issues and try to coordinate a strategy to put out high level plans to address those issues.

I know this post is clumsy and sorry if it is isn’t crisp and clear, but I see the violence Is distracting from the message and that works for Trump, who would love nothing more than to paint Dems as responsible for these events.

Secretary Wilkie claimed hydroxychloroquine helped some coronavirus patients in VA

Stephanie Ruhle just asked about the VA study showing no effect. He claimed the study was “observational” and not “clinical” those who were “In the last stages of life” showed no improvement, but on other “we know the drug has been working on middle aged and younger veterans.” Also said Cuomo wants more of the drug.

Hope someone asks Cuomo about that.

The Debate of President Donald J. Trump

Let’s just call it what it is. McConnell’s rules authorize a debate, Not a trial. A trial includes evidence. Even though all agree the Senate has the Constitutional authority to make the rules for an impeachment trial, and that those rules might deviate from a criminal trial 100% expect an actual “trial.” By definition, a trial includes evidence.
