Worse, it’s probably the same kinds of people who bought 10,000 bottles of Purel hoping to flip them online for big profits.

Ugh, that’s terrible. It’s almost as if spouting complete horseshit to millions of panicked people results in less then ideal outcomes!

whether the drug hydroxychloroquine is an effective prophylactic against coronavirus

I honestly have great respect for Dr. Fauci, but i think the best thing right now is to not praise him too much to keep him out of Trump’s crosshairs. When I see him on TV, I see a man that is stifling his own pride to do the right thing, and that’s give the american people the facts and the truth they need to get…

It would explain why everyone’s turn at the microphone begins with genuflecting to Fat Donny Two Scoops.

There’s a theory I saw on Twitter which is essentially that Trump is doing these daily briefings because he can’t do rallies anymore, and the reason he’s so cranky is that he’s gotten so used to the worshipful MAGA mobs that answering actual questions is breaking his brain.

There’s this one bastard’s face I want to punch... every time I walk past the mirror.

Which would be weird, considering her stock was in a blind trust, and she lost money off the transaction. 

YUP! I cant even believe they still have the ability to buy and sell when serving in congress

It’s a good idea, but you also have to make sure there’s no mirror trust setup. Former Gov. now Senator Rick Scott put “his” assets in a blind trust while governor of Florida, but his wife’s assets were in a different trust. Scott’s “blind” trust had instructions to mirror his wife’s trust exactly. So Scott issued…

So how long until Moscow Mitch announces that the senate is investigating only Dianne Feinstein for this?

In a way it would be more disturbing if they didn’t have insider information. They’re senators, who attended a closed meeting with the head of the NIH - I expect them to have insider information. It’s using it for personal enrichment that’s supremely fucked up.

I’m in an extra scary place, with retirement planned for next year. Not a lot of time for a recovery, and these guys taking advantage of their private knowledge is that much more infuriating. 

Blind trusts for everyone in a position of power please. Like, yesterday. This is so incredibly obvious.

This times 10 million. We have watched our hard earned retirement savings evaporating in recent weeks, on top of the very real fear that my husband’s job will disappear in the coming months. Sure wish we had had the same information they had last month. But in all probability they will suffer no consequences. 

Burr has denied having insider information, as has Loeffler.

This is it, exactly. It’s not that it didn’t come from China, it did, it’s not that viruses don’t get named after the places they come from, they do, it’s that they are so obviously trying to whip the base into a racist frenzy so none of them think to blame Trump for it.

China came down on their “wet markets” (places that sell various species of animals, incl wild ones) after SARS, and the govt needs to regulate animal markets to prevent other coronaviruses from jumping from animals to humans. Anywhere undomesticated animals come into contact with humans (wild game, markets, habitat…

I get the impression that if it’s not a problem that can be Othered, they can’t even understand it as a problem at all.

I would’ve been fine with cancelling the primaries and it likely should’ve been done.
