2020 Presidential Race

Talking Points Memo is the gateway pundit of the left. I’m sure they have smart people there who think of themselves as journalists, but they’re really just agenda-driven bloggers.
The director of emergency management for the city of Dallas confirmed it.
 
Well, take a look around. Your liberal buddies are out tearing down monuments of the founding fathers, defacing and destroying ww2 memorials, burning American flags, burning cities, and so on. It’s pretty clear to see.
The fear mongering obviously works.
 
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.

There you have it folks.
 
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.

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?

I dispute that it is anywhere near as wide spread as you think.
 
I 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.
175k dead from covid
vs
2.5 million dead from not covid
 
"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.



sounds like these were emergency centers that the feds set up for the states to later take over after getting things started.

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.

like its soooo much better for the feds, who are broke as crap, to pay for something, instead of those using them.

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.
“Republicans want:
-to keep women in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant
-to force women to die in back room abortions
-want to kick old people out on the street and make them eat dog food
-want to stone gays
-want to put black people in chains, keep them from working, Lynch them
-want poor kids to starve at school
-want to make money and make more homeless people die

These are things I’ve heard from actual Dem politicians the past 30 years
