Evidently the cult is starting to get violent. Threats against Dr. Anthony Fauci are on the rise, prompting the federal government to assign extra security personnel to him

Coronavirus Data Is Being Concealed by the Trump Administration link from billvon post in another thread. from Union of Concerned Scientists. " the administration is also engaging in a strategy that restricts the ability of scientists from directly communicating important information to the public on COVID-19.... When visiting the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) last Friday, President Trump openly admitted that this is exactly what he wants. ... White House officials ordered that a CDC plan on controlling the spread of the novel coronavirus remove certain science-based information " The entire story is worth reading.

Because the only investors with cash left are picking winners and selling losers. When there are more bidders than sellers a stock will go up When there are... well you know the rest. Unlike 2008, GM cutting jobs, plants proactively Restructuring plan met with anger, except on Wall Street Dec. 2018

China is the scapegoat and the exclusion of health officials allows the talking points to be massaged for public consumption. Meanwhile his supporters distract by suggesting, correctly, that China is under-reporting its numbers. China & Xi vrs trump & his enablers. Little to separate either because the public interest was sold down the road long ago.

I don't know about you but I'm hoping for another 30 years.

The National Interest is a conservative international affairs magazine. Who just did a major feature attacking Trump's Evangelical Allies and the ignorance of science concerning C-19. It seems as though body bags might be driving a wedge between trumps base and the religious right. The author of the above article wrote the best selling book on how trumps base is systematically corrupting the US constitution. The First Amendment which ratified in 1791 states that "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion

"Green new deal equals magical thinking" is the title of your thread. Yet you quote that green energy is both needed and that oil will slow its very transition. Conceding defeat, are you a Browns fan as well?

So celebrities to billionaires have donated millions to trumpvirus victims. Will trump go all of 2020 without donating a cent? Will he have to be publicly humiliated into a donation?

Coronavirus Threatens to Blow Up Trump’s Energy Trade Deal With China "Energy trade was the centerpiece of U.S. President Donald Trump’s just-completed pact with China, seemingly matching soaring U.S. production of oil and natural gas with bottomless Chinese demand for fuel." Will the coronavirus kill the oil industry and help save the climate? " 2019 will go down in history as the peak year for carbon emissions .. Covid-19 have really thrown the oil and gas sector into turmoil, and now we have companies really in survival mode,.. Wood Mackenzie last week analysed the impact of an oil price of $35 on companies’ previous investment plans for 2020. “It’s a very, very ugly picture,” said Kretzschmar. “At $35 per barrel, 75% of projects don’t even cover the cost of capital.” Most strikingly, the fat rates of return projected for the oil and gas projects have slumped from about 20% down to 6%, she said. “They’re very much in line now with what you can get from solar and wind projects.” Is This The Beginning Of The End For Texas Oil? " the average price that a driller needs to simply cover operating expenses (let alone earn a return) ranged from $23 in the Eagle Ford to $36 in “other” shale basins. In other words, with WTI currently trading below $25 per barrel, the “average” shale driller is not even covering the cost of keeping shale wells online.... Those are just the costs for operating. Breakevens to drill new wells are roughly double those levels, with average breakevens for Permian wells at $46. But even that figure only includes the cost of drilling a new well, and excludes other costs, such as debt servicing, overhead, and other corporate costs. “At $40 per barrel, you’re in the hole; at $30, it is hard to even keep producing existing wells. Nothing can be drilled at $30 per barrel,” one oil executive said in the Dallas Fed survey. That does not mean that there will be an immediate wave of shut-ins. Companies keep operations going for a variety of reasons – there are costs to starting up and shutting down, the reservoir can be damaged in the process, and certain terms of land leases or debt obligations incentivize drilling even when it may not make sense." Will the last ICE lover just turn the jackpump off because nobody will refine it anymore.Like a big juicy steak, put a fork into oil because its done.

A nurse worked for a week while infected with the coronavirus. The hospital wasn’t testing staff. "Testing remains a major problem in the battle against the coronavirus as hospitals grapple with a shortage of test kits and long wait times for results." Trump Says U.S. Doesn’t Want All Americans Tested, Only Sick This is the story on how trump became the MAGA country of the C-19 developed world. How S.Korea and the US started the C-19 race on the same date.How warnings in the US went unheeded. Just like the Chinese doctor that warned what was coming in China. While trump brags that one out of every 330 Americans have been tested to date.

Sure and the only honest one Wendy gets nothing!

For bible thumpers it God that makes all the promises.

Its time to arrest the parishioners for showing up.

Well that doesn't matter. Its all about who wins the race to the patent office.

Lots of that going on in the "stans" "Belarus president Alexander Lukashenko is holding firm in his belief that the global response by other countries to the coronavirus pandemic is a product of "psychosis." As a result, Belarus, a landlocked country in Eastern Europe bordered by Russia, is one of the world's only places where professional sports have not been postponed or canceled." He has also suggested that Vodka will keep C-19 at bay.

BINGO, never thought of that. Sorta like why adults watch cartoons. They are sort of cartoonist characters.

WTF would people watch crap like that? If i didn't know better, I'd think that trump learned bombast and the art of the lie in church.

Yeah, should get a patent on it if you didn't borrow it from somewhere else.

Its not trump's fault after all. Kentucky "Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell says President Donald Trump's impeachment trial distracted the federal government from the novel coronavirus as it reached the United States in January, despite warnings at the time from public health experts and members of Congress about the spread of the virus. McConnell, a Kentucky Republican, told conservative radio host Hugh Hewitt on Tuesday that the deadly virus "came up while we were tied down on the impeachment trial. And I think it diverted the attention of the government, because everything every day was all about impeachment.'' Kentucky and McConnell believe in accountability "

Ariz.957 tests 577 cases Okla.1,206 tests 248 cases S.C.2,763 tests 456 cases Ark.1,839 tests 335 cases All waiting for it to get more serious.

Brazil’s Bolsonaro " Despite confirmed cases of COVID-19 almost tripling in seven days to 4,256 by Saturday, Bolsonaro has continued to deny the gravity of the disease, calling it “a small cold” that would kill only old people. The diseases has caused 136 deaths in Brazil so far, and more than 30,000 globally. .. On Friday, Bolsonaro cast doubt on the state of Sao Paulo’s official death toll from the outbreak, the highest in the country, accusing the governor of manipulating the numbers for political ends. “I’m sorry, some people will die, they will die, that’s life,” Bolsonaro said in a television interview. The “Brazil can’t stop” social media campaign, suggesting to most Brazilians that there was no need for isolating themselves at home, was banned by Judge Laura Bastos in Rio de Janeiro at the request of federal prosecutors." He is a lite version of trump and is leading Brazil into disaster.

This is the real reason most Americans file for bankruptcy "it does have the potential to wipe out the savings of some everyday Americans who are struggling to afford medical costs. A trip to the ER or urgent care for coronavirus can set them back by thousands of dollars, to the point of bankruptcy, but avoiding treatment for financial reasons could potentially amplify the spread of the virus." Coronavirus will bankrupt more people than it kills — and that's the real global emergency For most citizens of western countries complete health care coverage is a given. For many trump voters a layoff notice in the midst of a pandemic may see everything they have worked for all their lives vanish at the doors to a hospital.

Who was the other leader, on his own choice, that started a war on two fronts?

It sounds as if you've surrounded yourself with quite a motley crew.

The worry is the pandemic tails off and with 50-70K dead. trump manages to paint himself as the "leader", War President", or whatever. To the majority of voters that don't follow politics. That he rides the popularity bump of a nation at war President. Then he can keep the virus alive through incompetence, stupidity and those that prop him upright. BTY where in the F*#k is Biden?
