For years one of the running jokes in our family has been my claim to have super human peripheral vision. (we each had to name our super power)
A few months ago during my annual eye exam, the doctor actually said "wow, you have amazing peripheral vision".....my wife still does not believe that actually happened.
I think it must be intertwined with my observational skills.
LOL....Cities burning???????
That's like an anti-gun advocate saying children are getting accidentally shot all over the country so there should be no guns.
I dispute that it is anywhere near as wide spread as you think.You knew what I meant, you are just trying to avoid addressing your side tearing down monuments of the founding fathers and destroying ww2 memorials, burning businesses down, all those lovely things. So again, which of these do you dispute?
175k dead from covidI do think Trump is far too incompetent to actually accomplish his directive here, but the fact that he wants less surveillance on the virus that is crippling America's economy is disturbing.
Even if he is joking here, why would he think it is appropriate to do so? We'll have more than 175K dead Americans by the time we vote.
Trump needs a campaign manager who can get him on message immediately if he wants to remain POTUS. As always, he's his own worst enemy.
"The federal government will stop providing money and support for 13 sites across five states which were originally set up in the first months of the pandemic to speed up testing at the local level.
Local officials and public health experts expressed a mixture of frustration, resignation, and horror at the decision to let federal support lapse.
Texas will be particularly hard hit by the decision. The federal government gives much-needed testing kits and laboratory access to seven testing sites around Texas. But in the state, which is seeing new peaks in cases, people still face long lines for testing that continues to fail to meet overwhelming demand.
In Dallas County, Texas, the federal government will end support on June 30 for two testing sites it has been supporting since March, Rocky Vaz, the director of emergency management for the city of Dallas, confirmed to TPM.
“Cases are continuing to rise in Dallas County, and we want to continue with the testing,” Vaz said.
An HHS spokeswoman told TPM that the program aimed to “develop and bring initial testing capabilities to socially vulnerable locations across the country” and said that states were expected to “transition” to control testing by June 30.
....
“When it was initially offered to us, the thought process was that this was a stopgap until we could get enough of our own supplies,” Lisa Powell, the program manager for public health emergency preparedness and response for El Paso County, Colorado, told TPM. Powell added that the state’s lower case counts and flattened curve make its situation less dire than that of some other states.
“These things cost money,” he added.
“Republicans want:It's certainly used by both sides, but Trumpers have turned it into an artform.
Fear mongering makes up 12% of the Dem. strategy.
Fear mongering makes up 87% of the Trump strategy.
Pretty accurate estimations on my part.
