Republicans, party of national security!

roughly 100 hours.

not a single condemnation. not a single furrowed brow. not one. single. "i will protect our soldiers at all costs"

Donald Trump does not care about the health and safety of Americans. At all. COVID. Unemployment. Fair Housing. Bounties on deployed service members. Supporting him is indefensible.

They’re now trying to turn bountygate into “the New York Times shouldn’t be publishing classified national security information”.

Arizona is preparing to implement SCORECARDS to determine eligibility for receiving care in a COVID world with limited supplies.

The elderly & people with pre-existing conditions immediately fall into a lower category of priority due to life expectancy.

Wow. Oklahoma looks like it just became the 5th state to pass Medicaid Expansion via ballot initiative. Currently holding on to a 0.8% lead with 99% reporting.

The ACA continues to grow in popularity, even in the deep red southern states. OK will now provide care for their most in need during a pandemic.

"Thanks, Obama" is right

you probably know, but they are doing a 3 part series on Pod Save America specifically on the process of picking the VP. This segment was from E1, it's really interesting

this was my favorite post.

60% of Houston’s hospitalizations are people under 50. But sure, isolate just the at-risk crowd. No threat to overwhelm hospitals! Gotta live your life!

This could help with voter turnout in Georgia

34 troops diagnosed with brain injuries days after Trump dismissed them as 'headaches'
President Donald Trump initially said no one was harmed during the Jan. 8 Iranian ballistic missile attack on bases in Iraq that house U.S. troops.

This is a great thing.

A reminder, Trump is trying to take away your healthcare during a pandemic the likes of which we haven't seen in 100 years.

Another conservative narrative goes out the window.

It was my favorite too because it was a perfect shotty post. Only one level of analysis (classic shotty/conservative thinking) without actually looking or analyzing the data or considering literally anything else to go along with that number.

He knows just enough where he ends up having worse takes than the people who know nothing at all. Truly remarkable.

[mthawk07]

I’ve said it before, but is there ANYTHING that conservatives have gotten right regarding this pandemic?

Everyone has gotten things wrong with the pandemic. That is expected because you are operating in the dark at the beginning. It's what you do when you learn more science.

That's been the failure.

“It’s just a cold.” Wrong.

“The seasonal flu kills more people.” Wrong.

“H1N1 and Obama’s response were worse.” Wrong.

“You don’t need to wear a mask.” Wrong.

“There’s nothing to worry about, it’s only the media driving fear.” Wrong.

“15 will soon be 0.” Wrong.

“It’s only a couple hundred cases and we’re shutting the country down?” Wrong.

“Over by Easter.” Wrong.

“Great success story.” Wrong.

“You owe DeSantis an apology.” Wrong.

“It’s been 9 weeks in Florida and no spike has happened, we’re opening up.” Wrong.

“If you can hold your breath for 10 seconds you don’t have covid.” Wrong.

“It only kills the elderly.” Wrong.

“One day it’ll magically disappear.” Wrong.

Then just throw in the myriad of psychotic conspiracy theories about 5G towers, Bill Gates, George Soros, the Chinese, and on and on.

Maybe he would have been able to do something if it wasnt for the leakers.



American troops die? Blame the leaks. Its their fault from here on out.

BREAKING
Boris Johnson confirms that the UK govt will now press ahead with change to the rules for British Nationals (Overseas), allowing them to move from Hong Kong to Britain with a pathway to full citizenship.

https://twitter.com/HugoGye/status/1...93189639?s=19t

The US needs to do this. Make it as easy as possible for Hong Kong citizens to become legal citizens in America.

[Tiduwho]

Hong Kong is essentially fuckt now, correct?

What is the best policy/decision a Republican president has made since 1990?

Was trying to think yesterday. ACA? Dem. Gay Marriage? Dem. Budget surplus? Dem. CFPB? Dem.

vs

Endless war in Iraq? Republican. Tax breaks for 1%? Republican. Everything since 2016? Republican.

[DMBstandUP1984]

Is it strange that it’s almost a non story that we are not allowed to travel to Europe? Lol

I mean, we haven't been allowed to for a while. They lifted restrictions for some countries that have the virus under control. We don't... not surprising.

This isn't quite right. When the CDC realized their tests didn't fucking work, they didn't request tests from WHO and continued to bar non-gov't affiliated labs from doing tests. That had nothing to do with being in the dark.




Biggest fuck up of any administration ever.

The only one I can think of was the recently passed criminal justice reform.

Medicare Part D and NAFTA are the two that come to mind.

But, as is par for the course, the modern GOP would never have passed either, and are likely in favor of completely gutting both.

I think I said at the onset of all of this that Trump would prove himself to be Hoover's equal in all the worst ways.

He has...he's done an exceptional job at being absolutely terrible and incompetent.

[cazzie34]

He just doesn't care.

I haven't read a Buchanan biography but I'm going to guess while he didn't do anything about slavery, he still cared about trying to do the right thing in his mind.
