Ilhan Omar Praises Trump's 'incredible' response to coronavirus pandemic


Minnesota Democratic Rep. Ilhan Omar unexpectedly praised President Trump's handling of the coronavirus pandemic on Wednesday night, saying it was "incredible and the right response in this critical time."

Omar, normally a staunch critic of the White House who herself has repeatedly drawn the president's ire, went on to quote Rep. Ayanna Pressley, D-Mass., as saying "unprecedented times require unprecedented leadership" -- and, Omar added, "we are seeing that in our country right now."

"Finally, we should never let politics get in the way of good policy," Omar concluded. "This is a great start and hope others will be part of a united front to push for good policies that will help us work through the economic anxiety the country is feeling right now."

Omar was responding to a post by The Intercept's Lee Fang, who noted: "Trump suspending mortgage foreclosures, demanding cash payments to Americans, now invoking the Defense Production Act to force private firms to produce needed supplies is incredible. Kind of a shell shock for anyone who reported on any economic policies in the Obama years."

Her praise for the president was matched this week by other Democrats and left-of-center commentators. New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, on Tuesday, told reporters, “His team is on it. They’ve been responsive. ... I want to say thank you.” And, CNN's Dana Bash asserted that Trump's new tone on the coronavirus made him the "kind of leader that people need."​

I'm pretty sure I've already had it. My symptoms mirrored what several others have documented. Be safe golfballs. ( never thought Id ever use that sentence)

I think I had it in January, too - fever, lethargy, lung pain. My Dr thought it was pleurisy but it lasted a month. I still have shortness of breath.

SDB closed yesterday for something called covid 19 (my kids call it the "boomer remover") so I had 4 pain killers at Foxys Taboo, 8 Caribs at Sandy Spit and a half a bottle of red wine.

I rented a 48 ft marine max power catamaran for the week. Circled Tortola, Norman, Cooper, The Baths on Virgin Gorda, Jost Van Dyke and now back on Norman. We just got done with our first dive of the day on the Indians near Norman.

That’s as ridiculous as me saying we are in a world pandemic and National crisis and I’ll just rely on my local police force to keep me and my family safe .

That is actually the most reasonable thing I have ever seen you post. That is what law enforcement is for.

That answers that. Yeah I’ve done the same thing only with sloops. Having your own dive gear with spare tanks while sailing the Channel is awesome. I’ve done it twice best dive vacations I’ve ever done.
